He sure does, Sharpie. It does take some will power for me to just leave these posts be ... on a day when I have a wee bit of time on my hands. But I still think he has the quality of being "大事不糊涂" ... but sometimes I am not so sure. I am not even so sure...

Right on ... North Koreans are so pure and unspoiled that they even cleaned out ALL Chinese characters from their language ... yet they still hopelessly retain the pronunciation of various Chinese "loan words". I think North Koreans could get even "purer" by adopting sign language only. As for...

Exactly, backed by the potent "wanna-jees", I don't understand myself why the Izzies are dithering ... What's there to be afraid of? After all, who needs "old Europe" when the #### got your back? Now tongue out of cheek ...

:what:? I see ... :azn:

Hehe, looks like another thread ruined by the "wanna-jees" and "thumping-chans". It probably generates revenue for the site ... but only to a point I suspect. These mods really ought to be paid. Bottom line is that you speak the truth ... peacefullllllllllllll! But incomplete. I have said...

Are Arabs not people just like yourself? Do all Arabs have to bear the sins of "Custodians" for what the "Custodians" wanted for the "Persians"? Right about now you have stooped down to a lower rung than the ubiquitous "Wanna-jees" and the few "Citizen Chans" around here ... Why squander the...

There is always a difference between the colloquial, spoken language, and the more literary expressions - among all languages with any self-respecting "literary traditions". "有 (with/possessing) 喜 (happiness/luck/fortune)" is most definitely still used in a more formal, literary...

I have met a small number of Asian Americans/Canadians like yourself. Most of their counterparts are more interested in Karaoke (at least when I was in college) and in casinos than in history. Indeed you strike me as "thoughtful". While I agree with you that race, culture, or even one's...

Lookie ... yanky ... leaky ... regime changie ... What is this "Manmohanjee" thinking? His recent stunts clearly bordered on an insurrection against my Great Unclejee. They say India sent a high-level "reconciliation letter" of sort to the Irani. And India did not sign on to the "no...

Let alone this "Shia vs Sunni" bag of cats ... I haven't even gotten myself an adequate handle on the historical "Protestant vs Catholic" going-at-each-other ... and I shamelessly call myself a Christian. There are people in my own family the Government of PRC spent a lot of dough (which they...

It's interesting you should say that ... I asked my mom which pavilion was most popular with "average folks" after they came back from Shanghai from their visit last year. My dad was still thinking, but my mom immediately blurted out "the Saudi Pavilion". I asked why ... and she answered...

We asked you not to bring IQ into everything ... especially where it doesn't belong. Forget Germany, what the h*ll do you know about history of Jews in Russia and the Soviet Union? Tell me which Jews from Germany fled en masse to USSR? If you don't have a clue can you at least try to grow...

Peace may come to the Middle East when (Israeli) Jews love their children more than they love (Jerusalem) real-estate. In honesty it applies not only to you, but also to Asians in places such as Taiwan and Kashmir. It's not that these plots of real-estate have no value. Not at all. They are...

It's hard to believe this generally sensible post is from the same dude who just recommended Americans to cover up war crimes to "win" (in the other thread) ... Well maybe I got a little "emotional" myself indeed - in response to your Gaza rocket outburst there. Still, your out-of-context rant...

You are not wrong there buddy. But you don't know Muslims. I mean that sincerely. As a group - as any "group", they are not without faults. I once sat across a group late at night ... and one of them pounded the table with pride, and said, "... xxxxx, we used to make them (Copts) ride...

Next time I'll make sure I get my psychiatrist's permission before I compare criminals. O wait, what did I write again? "... both Likud and Bin Laden wanted sumthin' sumthin' ..." Now if I said both iPakman and donkey wanted air, water, and food, I must be comparing iPakdude to a jack@ss...

You have a point, ePhone ... but only superficially. And sorely lacking context. When the conflict was still "Israeli-Palestinian" (i.e., prior to 1967), lip-servicing was free for everyone as long as oil flowed and the show went on between the "super-powers". Then it became an Israeli-Arab...

Pls let this particular subject drop and respect the "mandate" of this place where you are I are guests. People here get hard-ons about J-xx and F-yys. Others like me are here for the "politics" and "exchange" (with whatever little time we have). Maybe you know or you just think you know ...

As tragic as how things are unfolding ... "whose boy" was this Gaddafi? Was he a "useful" boy? :what:

Your fallacy # 1: China faces a Muslim Uighur insurgency in Xinjiang / "East Turkestan", and Israel faces a Muslim-dominated Palestinian resistance. Therefore China should side with Israel on all things. The number of people in China who hold this view, especially among the "superficially...
