Friscokid - I think anger management therapy, a sense of humor (with a touch of irony), and just a slight reduction in your sense of self-importance, would improve your ability to respond to posts on this board. Perhaps, all three, in some combination. Best of luck to you.

@Dancing_Fool Yeah, your comment is genuinely stupid. Oh, how ever should we discuss politics?!?! (and thus respond to the content of the post) Are we interfering in China's internal affairs?!?! Guess what? These issues are relevant to some people, and some people actually ARE directly involved (obviously, not you). Would you prefer the standard cowardly Chinese answer: "I am not interested in those things." No need to guess where you're from. Go home!

Yeah, yeah. Politics, politics. What I want to know - what I really want to know - is the name of the band playing over that video footage of the one child riots. Toe-tapping stuff.

Hu has recently appointed the new head of Nanjing military district from the upper ranks of the Fujian command, where a Taiwan attack would start from. This means that two military zones are effectively integrated as a command structure. So there go your military flights, practice makes perfect. A month after that, Bush appointed an Admiral with pacific command experience to the head of the Joint Chiefs. And lastly, the US and China may have just started their trade war: uu uu uu .iht.com/articles/2007/06/08/africa/food.php Bad, bad China.

I have a friend (from the states) teaching at Zhengzhou University - He's been asked leave pronto (the term is almost up) - so who cares about the students exams obviously the Chinese teachers/authorities don't! NB: I'm teaching in Yantai,Shandong Province.

The official executions are always WAY below the real number, and if it's anything like the organ trafficking, large numbers of executions will continue in China regardless of how the commies try to paint their face. And everyone knows that executions are not dropping because Hu's found God, but because of international pressure, the goons in Beijing are still wetting their pants over Europe's shaking adherence to the arms embargo, and the Olympics, which were created for the purpose of communist pageantry (or wait, was that international understanding?), must go smoothly in concert with the space program to show what great job the smug-pug reds are doing (just don't look under the hood, please!). Ha! and Bush just did his first smart move in 7 years! Evidently, Gates is improving chimp brain a little. siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2007/06/08/news/latest_news/a47af9690487f95f862572f40013c3d7.txt Don't try slap lipstick on this pig: just slap it!
