On another forum (full of a bunch of idiots like me), someone started out a thread called "Morality vs. Science" which contained this great quote
A few pages later, one of the people who actually has a brain on her head says
With that, I propose a new Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving China approaches 1".
So it is written, so it shall come to pass.
Here in the US - it's the Right versus Left ideology; which can put a hamper on progress thru legislative regulations. Countries like China, don't believe their moral valuations shouldn't drive the scientific free-market, though. Which has allowed them actual progress.

The irony of China being brought up as a good model for something in a thread entitled "Morality VS Science" is supremely astounding. When they stop violating basic human rights by throwing people in jail for making twitter posts that question the government, we can examine them further as an economic model.
