China Sending Two People Into Space

henrypijames writes "As reported widely in Chinese media, China has began production of and launch preparations for it's new Shenzhou ("divine ship") 6 spaceship. While being roughly equal in design to Shenzhou 5 which sent the first Chinese into space last year (although having capacity for three persons), Shenzhou 6 is supposed to carry two "Taikonaut" next year."

Oh, really? I swear I witness so many bad chineese drivers, and I know some guys from China who agree with me on this one. They just don't know how to drive and when they cause some problem or an accident they don't even understand why it was their fault. There are other bad drivers too, but I most of the ones I see are Chineese. Now, you can moderate this as much as you want, but I take a stand, this is my imperical evidence.

Are you from China? It apparent you can't speak ill of where ever you are from.

That's great that the Chinese astronauts get so much wonderful food. Maybe the Chinese government could then focus on getting the millions in Henan with AIDS some food as well. Or do something about the rioting peasants in the countryside aside from running them over with trains. Maybe, just maybe, the Chinese government could show some responsibility, and try to keep all 900 million peasants fed.

Chairman Mao and his cronies killed more Chinese peasants than the Russians killed Russians, the Japanese killed Chinese, and the Germans killed Jews and other races combined.

One question...Make that two...

1: Is the charge of delivering the bill added to the cost of the bullet used to execute someone?

2: Why does China continue to destroy/level churches that it doesn't like?

Space Exploration with Chinese Characteristics

Yes, that's right. It's the year of the monkey, and the sons and daughters of the dragon will soon be sending the next Wong Fei Hung and Fong Sai Yuk into space to demonstrate the greatness of the Chinese nation and make it plainly obvious for all that China is not the sick man of Asia.

Well then, it's all peachy, but my spelling abilities do not, in any way, cause unnecessary accidents on the roads, do they?

Every time you spell something wrong, a kitten dies.

When some fuckhead tries to make an illegal turn into your car because they have no fucking peripheral or any fucking vision, then you can fucking talk

Well the obvious response would be to say that because of this unfortunate incident you've gone sour and now make a point of noting the poor efforts of Chinese drivers.

But eh, it's all subjective anyway, and you've pretty much completely missed the point of what I was on about. Sorry to have to piss you off to prove a point to myself.

Have a nice night/day/whatever it is where you are.

Atleast, I am not an anonymous coward. You see thats another part of freedom of speech. I don't have to worry about the gov kicking in my door for what I say. As current history shows most europeans are anonymous cowards.
