    How does national ID help finding troll Lau Chen on the internet?

    As for "where you gonna run to?", Douglas Adams has the answer (well I only had to change one word)

    China is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to China.

    85 percent of the billion plus people populace uses one of a hundred surnames, and for common given names there's a couple dozen popular ones for male and for female........LOTS of people have the same name. "Hi I'm Tang Li!" "how about that, we've ten other ones in the class this year!"

    I don't think the nutbars are the most dangerous part of our new Republicans, rather being bitches of big corporate interests. Back when I was young it started, the "Rockefeller Republicans". That kind of shit causes wars of choice and police state.

    Republicans have evolved over the years. At one time, they were the party pushing the Civil Rights act through, while many Democrats opposed it! At one time, they were for Constitutional limitations on federal government. But now they're against those things. Oh wait, that's devolving?

    As far as a first through second language, English is #1 on the planet. They study it in school in most places, including China, India, South America, Europe, etc. In Africa many countries have English as official language.

    Local news is full of those, but major news outlets in big cities have journalists with your mind set; it doesn't go with their agenda.

    Consider this: Crime rate in USA has plummeted in last 15 years as concealed carry adopted by all 50 states. That's fact, so your point of view is bullshit. Guess fearing Constitutional right lowers IQ, eh?

    Do you read your links? "This course has not yet been updated to work with the Raspberry Pi models B+ and A+. Some elements may not work, in particular the first few lessons about the LED.

    No, try peppermint tea the next time you have a runny nose, natural antihistimine that works for a awhile...but pseudophed works better.
    Try wintergreen tea (steep for 10 minutes from boiling, it's in a bark not leaves) instead of aspirin or advil, also a natural aspirin, contains chemical similar to it. Of course, aspirin works better....
    Oil of oregano is also natural antihistamine.

    I can buy tea and coffee and coca cola without limit or oversight or papers...what's your point in bringing up caffeine, same as the others
