Interesting point. Can communist China, with it's autocratic government, be considered civilised? China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. But is a country that imprisons or even executes it's own citizens without trial, a civilized society? Or do they have different values in Asia, ie. the rights of the individual come after, not before, the interests of the wider society?

Some of these Europeans that smuggle drugs in exotic locations, must be ****ing nuts. Those South American jails look especially ****ing awful, no matter how much coke I'd hoovered up, I'd never be persuaded to risk that.
