US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad'
digitaldc writes "Pollution in Beijing was so bad Friday the US embassy, which has been independently monitoring air quality, ran out of conventional adjectives to describe it, at one point saying it was 'crazy bad.' The embassy later deleted the phrase, saying it was an 'incorrect' description and it would revise the language to use when the air quality index goes above 500, its highest point and a level considered hazardous for all people by US standards. The hazardous haze has forced schools to stop outdoor exercises, and health experts asked residents, especially those with respiratory problems, the elderly and children, to stay indoors."
China has raised it standard of living in recent decades but they still suffer from a severe lack of basic freedoms, corruption, and choking pollution.
Hmmm ... China's severe lack of basic freedoms is pretty well documented. But I don't recall reading about a similar severe shortage of corruption, or of choking pollution. Where might these shortages be documented?
It's quite funny actually. In attempting to show higher intelligence by correcting the parent, you only succeeded in showing how poorly you can parse language, thus utterly fail at English.
If you can't understand people, you definitely should not be attempting to correct them.
(This lack of funny by showing stupidity also removes all rights to a 'woosh')
but they still suffer from a severe lack of basic freedoms, corruption, and choking pollution
There are three things in his list after the word 'from'
1) a severe lack of basic freedoms
2) corruption
and 3) choking pollution
No where is it mentioned a shortage of corruption nor a shortage of choking pollution.
Don't feel bad though. English classes are available for you to learn how to understand others around you, so there is hope yet.
Protip: you might want to stop posting and showing how you so utterly fail at language comprehension for the time being. You wouldn't want even more people to think this poorly about you.
god damn your wife is that cheap ass cunt my marine fucking fucked for 20 dollars.
And you married that cum whore!! LOL
you are a pathetic looser
The United States and its citizens are in no position whatsoever to talk about China's emissions, Sir. The USA is responsible for 1/3rd of the worlds emissions, snubbed Kyoto, while being lucky they aren't in a void because they would have suffocated long ago. They have been and still are the biggest burners of energy and the biggest polluters on this planet. It's ludicrous when the USA talks about other countries this way. The only thing the USA deserves is extra taxes on their products, because their greed will otherwise prevail over pollution as a matter of empirical evidence.
