China To Launch 2 Into Space In September

Doug Dante writes "China Daily reports that China's space agency plans to launch two Chinese astronauts into space for a 6-day mission in September. The spacecraft includes both a re-entry and an orbital module. The article, an official publication of the Chinese government in English, also extends a plain invitation for the U.S. to partner with China on space."

    And if you bought any of Bush's inaugural speech bullshit you'd have to believe that China is #1 on the Invade'em list. But they're not. Guess how much of the crap you own is made in China. Guess how much you are actually supporting that nation by merely engaging in the general market. So if you're so hyped up about China being the earthly spawn of Satan, I'd suggest you go enlist in the US military NOW and volunteer your expendable ass to go assassinate some Chinese leadership.

    Except for the communist government, there's nothing wrong with China. I have no love for their government. I also have no love for spineless Americans that spew crap like you: Always clamoring that China is evil and such, yet you'll personally do nothing about it. Coward. What's your solution? Bomb? Invade? Economic boycott? Seriously, how do you deal with a nuclear armed power that both is despised by you, yet you'll also happily (and probably unknowingly) support the Chinese government by buying goods from their labor forces? God, you make Rush Limbaugh sound like an intellectual.

    Pinko irrationality is well-documented; what else could you expect?

    the Ukraine never was a nation, and it isn't now. George Soros owns the government, but the people are so anti-semitic (as is he) and maliciously ignorant, that there will soon be pogroms against all kinds there. Jews, Russians, Poles, Rumanians, capitalists, former Communists. The Ukraine is a very scary place right now, and it's joining the EU.
