Why it is ok for US to spy/attack anybody, then if someone is doing the same thing to the US, would be consider Evil/unacceptable ?

Because you have your perceptions all skewed. America spies on other countries which in most cases does not involve attacking. They do that in the interests of national securiteeeeeeeee, get it?

What china is doing is sabotage not spying, there's a bit of a difference I think, but I could be wrong......

It is ok because the US is the center of the galaxy and the champion of truth and justice. Now that we've entered into a campaign pledging a War On Terror™, any action taken is excusable. If you disagree obviously you are a terrorist because we are too virtuous to have done anything whatsoever to have made any enemies, it's us good guys versus pure evil. Pick a side but either way you will respect mi authoritah!

That is a loaded question. With that as a premise, there is no possible way to argue for anything but that, as it is being assumed, regardless of whether or not it is true.

Spying is standard practice for any country. The difference is, that the US isn't breaking into their computer systems, planting viruses, crippling systems, etc. Shoot, US isn't even trying to break into their systems. If they did such, then they would know. The point is to get the information without being detected.

Much easier to do with a U2 flying miles above the Earth and hundreds of miles out of Chinese airspace. Monitor transmission and pick them up when they go out. Think of it as the US picks your pocket while you're walking around town. Nice and discrete. China breaks into your house, steals everything, and then rapes your daughter on the way out.

Maybe the US just hasn't been caught yet?

I think that is the point he is making. We own them in every way other then treating our people like cattle and making toys that are made of drugs.

So you're saying that China, with it's ability to break into multiple countries' highly protected network systems, that the US was somehow...not caught.

Let me reword that sentence for you.

"US is too smart and the other countries are just incompetent."

Sorry, but if the US was hacking other countries, I'm sure they'd have been caught. US might have the greatest tech, but that's cause they spend so much money for R&D. Plenty of other countries could be up there technologically for military hardware. They simply don't budget that much towards national defense spending.

Would you prefer China hacking your household systems on a regular basis and know you're being watched, or us doing it in an unnoticable way so you can keep on looking on all that pr0n you got in your HDD!

Hey, what if we just send the chinese a pr0n virus? They're such prudes over there in asia we'd win any war instantly once their leaders are exposed to naked chicks for the first time in their lives!

Rofl. You do realize that they probably have prostitutes all the time. It is the people that they control like cattle that are affected by the governments prudeness laws.
