Ah, I was worried that the USA might not be at fault for once. Thankfully, you set me straight. The USA is always wrong, and is always at the bottom of any problem that the world faces. Down with Bu$shitler!
I live in China, and I have yet to see an insulated residential building. They just have concrete walls, and un-weatherstripped windows. Oh, and no central heating - the only heat comes from wall units or space heaters.
As a Swede, you probably think that anyone who doesn't own a parka is an idiot in winter. You've got cultural blinders on, and you don't even realize it.
Funny, the Ph.D's at my mom's job are always sending her chain letters, email worms, and urban legends. I have to go and clean up her computer once in a while, and it took her a bit to understand that I certainly don't want such things forwarded to me.
Nah - the days of cool-sounding names from mythology are long gone. These days, they name astrological objects after whatever happens to be popular on TV. I think it'll be called "Firefly" or "Bender" or something along those lines.
Is it THAT MUCH TROUBLE to type in.com? I mean, seriously. I have myself so trained to type in.net,.com, or.org after a URL, I'd save about 1/10 of a second by doing a Shift-Ctrl-Enter chord.
Translation: a queer effect of a browser I got used to doesn't work in Opera. Can you implement, bugtest, QA, and deploy a feature that me and three other people will use?
Way to respond to a week-old thread, moron. BTW, if you like (submissive) foreign girls, that makes you a male oppressor. Get used to the title, dipshit.
Dude. Katrina was a Cat 3. Iraq keeps having peaceful elections. Big Three? Chrysler was bought by Daimler two years ago. Get with the times and quit the wishful thinking of catastrophes.
Not so! The situation started when culturally foreign hooligans attacked beach lifeguards. This fact is usually buried at the end of news stories, and no media outlet has been anxious to publicize it, for obvious reasons.
In my very humble opinion, the situations you refer to often arise where there is a group, in the majority, that feels as if it is having its birthright impinged upon.
The situations I referred to were when the culturally foreign population rose up against the native population.
The benefit of being exposed to many cultures (food, friendship, etc) outweighs, in my mind, these smaller issues.
Ever consider that not everybody wants their culture annihilated by foreign influences? The ideology that you refer to of "many cultures" (i.e. multiculturalism) is widely considered to be discredited, and only survives because to criticize it brings certain social death to whomever dares to.
Give me carpet anyday. Polished floors are always getting scraped up by something or other, and they're ice-cold in winter. Perhaps that has more to do with the total lack of scary foreign concepts such as "insulation" and "central heating".
Well, importing culturally foreign people on a mass scale hasn't worked out too well for France or Australia. Maybe the Japanese have a point, one that's not allowed to be discussed?
"Every Communist must grasp the truth, 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun'"
"We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun."
And one from Mao's enemy, the Dalai Lama:
"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."
Actually, I'd be in favor of making Mao's Little Red Book required reading. It's highly insightful and has all sorts of good thoughts in it. My favorite:
"The Party must always control the gun, the gun must never be allowed to control the Party."
Which leads to situations like the Dongzhou massacre of a few weeks ago.
Er, I think that the point was that the text was unclear and inarticulate, despite the fact that it uses big words. The sentence structure is horrible. Try parsing any sort of meaning from it if you're not a native speaker - even for us, it's tough. Living overseas does make you give greater thought to how you form your thoughts into language.
Oh, it's easy to figure out. Get yourself on over to memri.org and see firsthand.

and so on in a likewise manner until you are ill in the soul. They hated us even back when the appeaser Clinton was in charge of U.S. foreign policy.

Hey - good enough to write for the New York Times, I think. Why such criticism over tiny errors? It's fake but true.
War is never the answer. Give peace a chance!

Could you possibly fit more catchphrases in your post, PHB?
Number 10, I can get behind, though.

Must be why MMORPGs are so popular with people who are...*ahem*, "socially disabled".
Resume counts mean nothing if your job requirement is 5 years experience adminstering Windows XP.

That's the target audience for Dragonball, certainly, by his own admission.
Oh, come on...you might as well cite Wikipedia as a source as cite the New York Times. At least with Wikipedia, the errors can be corrected.

That's child abuse. Somehow, I don't see that as being a problem for flyover territory redstate mouthbreathers like yourself.
