Why do I always hear negative stuff from Americans trying to criticise the Chinese government, when our country has been peaceful and developing at a very fast pace all these years, whereas the US is having wars and trouble everywhere?

I just don't understand.
Why do they call us axis of evil, when the government is trying to develop good relationship with most countries now.

Why do they call us bad human right? when we didn't have any invasion against other countries, and most citizens in mainland, China are happy with the laws and regulative system?

Why do they say we are a threat, when we don't spend more than half of our budget like some country into our military expense? and when we haven't invaded anyone all these years?

Why do they say communism is bad, when it is working very well in China, and the overall development of China is thriving under the communist system?

Why do they say communism never works, when any idealism can't be 100% achieved, includin democ.

Forgiveness is making room in your heart for people and leaving space for their mistakes, as you realise that no-one is perfect. It is a simple concept - the more room you allow in your heart for each and every person, the larger your heart grows to be.

However, forgiveness works on the principle of seeing the good in every one of god's creation. Should you work on the principal of focusing on negativities, you will only gain a heavy heart.

I wrote this myself :)
Comments please?
Open to constructive criticism.

Victims of a shipwreck were lost at sea. Due to strong waves they were all soon separated. Search parties quickly went out to find them. On the first day 1/6 of the survivors were found. The next day 1/5 of those still lost were found. On the third day 1/4 of those still lost were found. On the fourth day 1/3 of those still lost were found. 1/2 of those still lost were found on the fifth day, and on the sixth and last day the remaining 3 boatmen were found. How many people were originally lost at sea?

why or why not choose wikipedia as a reliable source of information related to history.
Is it correct to assume the most of the information on Wikipedia is true and unbiased.

They keep deleting my account, even though, and I know that it may be hard to understand, I love them. They touched me, sometimes privately, and sometimes, just on the internet. But, I have to have some place to go, where irreverance and lust for life have a meaning outside of "coke or pepsi?" If I write a poem about any subject you come up with, will you accept me into this community?


i wrote a lyric one time
for a girl
named carrie
she, makes it hard
for me to think.
and with her every
twist and turn
i find her
irresistable.

I use an HP R717 Photosmart Camera and I love it. I love to take pictures and I love taking pictures of mostly nature because the animals, trees and clouds don't object about having me photograph them or need to stop to dress up, comb their hair or put on make-up. I would like to take more professional looking pictures. How do I improve on my photographing?

The colors don't go where I want them to go, and the shapes don't follow what I try to do. When I try to paint a curve nice and smooth, it comes out all crooked. When I try to make the lines turn a particular way, they don't go where I try to go.

The picture paints itself, and it's not what I wanted to paint. Is it still art?

The topic of 'paradigm' was being taught the other day in class. I still wasnt exactly clear on what it was/did/ type of situations it could occur in. From how I understood it, I thought the bible would be a good comparison to a paradigm. the teacher just looked at me like i was nuts.

But even after reading definitions of what a paradigm is, I can still see things such as: religion, the bible, media, and our associates for ex., as paradigms.
So... am i getting this or am i nuts ?

What exactly is a paradigm? Can the Bible stand for a substantial paradigm?

did Rome still use the aqueducts to get fresh water?
did they still use the toilets and sewers?

I have always signed my art work on the bottom right hand side. But I've have been told that I should be signing them on the bottom left hand side. So which is it? Thanks.
