I was listening to CCTV News just this morning with my wife who ia a nurse and a Chinese too, (Sunday 22nd July 2007 at 6 34am )when the lady said Chinese nurses from Beijing went to Africa to work. She continued that out of every 10 (ten) patients over there, 8 (eight) had AIDS. She perceived Africa as a country. l wonder why many Chinese perceive Africa as a country and Asia as a continent. May l know if that is what they are taught in school? l will definately try to know where those nurses are working and also try to see if it is really true that out of every 10 patients in Arica ,8 have AIDS. Your facts will do me a big favour. Thank you in advance.

I loved her on Today, and I always loved her interviews on Dateline. But, there is just something wrong when she's delivering the news. I have to turn it over and watch Brian Williams on NBC.

I mean come on...they chase all the Talaban into Pakistan after 9/11 that was a no brainer to see...then they do a 180 and exit stage left into Iraq...totally forgetting about Afghanistan and all those who fled into Pakistan.

So what now, are they saying they are surprised to find out that all these years they have been plotting and planning within Pakistans borders undisturbed?

Give me a break...

Many people knew from the beginning that the tribal people of Iraq could not sustain a democracy. They do not have the civil infrastructure to support an open society, and are controlled by religious and tribal prejudices.
If the US will stay in Iraq for several more years, there is a small chance that civil society can be strengthened. But it's not likely. When the US does leave, next year or in 5 years, Iraq will break into full civil war. Either Iraq will be divided into 2 or 3 countries, or a strong military leader will come to power.

Should we avoid the interim period of bloodshed, and find a strong military leader to take control of Iraq? Bush's liberal idealism got us into this mess, hoping futilely to move medieval people into modernity in a few years. A strong leader could unite the country, and provide the stability required. The only viable option seems ot be dividing Iraq, like India/Pakistan or the former Yugoslavia.

From todays Express.

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/14230

"POLICE have uncovered details of the escape route taken by missing Madeleine McCann’s abductor, it was revealed yesterday."

"A new witness has reported seeing a man rushing past the tiny Nossa Senhora church in Praia da Luz towards the seafront at around 9.30pm"

A 'new' witness?? Where has he been for the past 3 months?
And suddenly he remembers a night from 3 months ago and the specific time?? WTF?

Anyways it goes on before finishing with a gem from Gerry.

"We hope our efforts will help make the world a little bit safer for all children. Kate and I believe there is a strong, public feeling that crimes against children, wherever they may occur, are totally unacceptable."

Uh Gerry, you tend to make the world LESS safe by handing kids to paedo's on a plate. Don't you dare lecture me on the good you are doing in the world. And yes that last sentence of yours, well Duh Friggen Duh, we never knew that till you told us!!

Much of what one hears on the news in the United States is what occurs in Iraq and Israel; yet, seldom does the general population in the United States hear of what happens within Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, Uruguay, Equador, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, etc.

What's more, our school systems in the United States rarely teach the basic social and geographic fundamentals of these numerous countries. So why is so little news reported on what occurs within the entire western hemisphere?

Come on Yahoo...you can do better than that. They weren't ever that funny.

It is a fact that the world's cattle produces 18% of the carbon emissions which are introduced into the atmosphere.

This is a much higher contributor to global warming than planes, cars and all other forms of transport put together.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2007/02/meet_daisy_the_cow_global_climates_enemy_number_on.html

However, while politicians are keen to highlight the damage which planes and light bulbs make with regard to global warming they are loathe to highlight the main contributor towards this environmental degradation, ie. the meat trade.

Is it therefore true that meat eaters who are keen to do something positive with regard to global warming are in fact just hypocrites?
