Hello from Vietnam

[Onyx]

She lives in Vietnam....a communist country. I am sure she knows a LITTLE BIT about democrap policies.

Historically "communist" countries have been the most fiscally conservative, excluding large military budgets.

We have seen it in the Soviet Union, China, Ethiopia, Cuba, South Yemen, Vietnam, and to a lesser degree Laos and North Korea. I believe it is pretty obvious why this is the case, but I will spell it out anyways. Strong command states, which are administered by both political and economic government command, are not subject to greater accountability from the people. Therefore they answer to those with the most money with a lot more fluidity.

Oh god. All the cuck white guys are gonna start hitting on her now...wait. A communist country allows you to use a internet forum? Hmmmm

???

Yeah, the internet is not banned in Vietnam. They only censor groups and organizations which criticize the Vietnamese government, and apparently they are really ineffective at it.

Nowadays we're not so "communist" here.
Our party is called communist, our flag is red with a big yellow star but our economy is going to be "capitalist"
I don't know how this is good for us...

Hello and Welcome to this nice forum, i have a bad English to, i leave in France so to speak English i come here and i like it...the people are nice

but your English is better than mine, I'm pretty sure! because your first language is similar to English...
Vietnamese is so different from English
Likely for me we use Latin alphabet here

Bonjour, i use to speak English when i live in Canada but now it's been a long time more then 10 years that i live in France, i could watch CNN but nobody to speak English so after a long time i lose my English speaking.

It means you'll have to work longer hours for less pay, like in all those wonderful capitalist run factories in Red China, with the barbed wire on top of the walls turned inward to keep their 'employees' from escaping. Then your pay will be taxed to subsidize 'shareholders' in foreign countries and you will be forced to listen to them snivel about how you're not working hard enough, you're lazy, etc., etc., etc. If you aren't being 'fined' a half a week's pay for going to the bathroom yet, you will be.

I will be referencing the Vietnam section of Onyx's Guide for Making Foreign Friends

Attack the Chinese. The Chinese are incredibly unpopular in Vietnam due to the Sino-Vietnamese War and subsequent border clashes. Right now tensions are hot because of disputes over the Spratly Islands and the building of Chinese offshore oil drilling off the coast of Vietnam, which has led to recent states of alert and full military mobilization along both nations borders.

Yes, I'm aware of that and more; they've been cultural and political enemies for centuries. they also weren't at all fond of Russians, either, but the last couple of decades the Russians have been working on polishing their images up, with some success, not a lot but some.

Like China? Interesting. Well at least Vietnam has been able to keep its self Vietnamese guess there are SOME THINGS decent enough about the governments ideology.

An Khe, Bong Son, Ninh Hoa, the Citadel at Hue, Cholon before the VC burned it down. My team was sent to the Rex in Saigon to pick up Walter Cronkite for a run up to Dak To but he was too drunk to come down from his room...what a POS that clown was.
