I agree in part. Having said that, I don't think the chance of Asads ending up in a Qaddafi scenario is high up the probability scale by any stretch of imagination. One, he is not out. Two, even if he is, he is far from down, for Bashar and Co will more than likely carve out their own...

Truth be told, there is hardly any "pro-asad propaganda" anywhere. I couldn't even see any real pro-asad pieces on Sina.com. But there is a ton, a definite "flurry" of anti-intervention "propaganda" - in Germany, too, I am sure, though I can't vouch for it. Of course all "players" say one...

In fairness, there is courage in Chinese trying to adopt some Chinglish ... entertaining, in a not-so-self-conscious sort of way. After all, they ain't got the head start next to Macaulay's bastards. Granted, this "KFG" is pitiful. But "OFC"? This could be a classic!

Give it a rest ... Just take a deep breath. Go back to your PhD thesis. I really do mean it in sincere friendliness. There is more to life than this, even though I am up at this hour doing some work and browsing, too. Insecurity is not beautiful ... Model something else ... create...

Now you both are "Asian-Canadians", I presume. Why would you insist on disgracing each other by pissing on yourselves? And why would you bring your sh!t with each other to Canada? Or Canada into your sh!t with each other? Well as long as you both are having fun then p!ss and cr@p away...

Give it a rest people, give it a rest. Indian companies are selling bicycles and tractors. Well good on the companies for making an honest living by selling honest goods. May they prosper. Now stop pissing. What a waste of time as usual ...

Just a random shot from me as I haven't really the time to follow this thread: this instinct of yours, if it could be called such, seems sound. But your rambling on the "redemptive quality" of "gutter oil"? I wouldn't take it nearly as far as you did even next to "arsenic and mad cow" ...

Must say I am starting to pick up the vibe of a "false flag" ... Time to bail. It's up to the mods to look into this.

Yeah HongWu you superpower kid! Don't stop ... you are on a roll. Uncle Sam needs you and you are doing good. Tell you what, after reading you for a bit, even I want Uncle's Navy and Air Force to stick around the neighbourhood. Uncle is the insurance and you are their insurance broker. I do...

You don't disappoint and reported to duty after all. Just not as diligently as I expected. O well, better late than never ...

It's true Bahrain just doesn't get any TV or Newspaper time. In truth, I really don't believe the Custodian wants Assad and associates to fall. Once that happens, they will be the only game that attracts the attention. For the same token, Russia and PRC probably also have much unspoken...

Honest to goodness, I don't know that. It's conceivable if such women you speak about don't speak English, or are disadvantaged by less-than-ideal VISA situations. Even there, all she has is to find out about the Family Law court. The man, especially anyone who's "done hitting", will be...

I see. Perhaps I was just needlessly "jumpy". I also agree that in the context of India things do get more complex not the least because of "reservation" implications when people convert ...

I don't disagree that "preaching by deeds" is far more effective than by words. However, attempted conversion in a secular society, without coercion, means neither "disrespect", nor "insecurity" to me.

The reasons, as I speculate, are "Third World outreach" (which I "approve of" as an individual), and religious "management" (which I by necessity find suspect, though understand the desire). I also agree that with the spread of various dodgy schools of end-times eschatology masquerading as...

Actually interestingly, I have come across quite a few of these "New Women" (of course not just "New Men" anymore) who couldn't care less about this "face issue". A husband that beats them? That said hubby is in for it ... not just from the said "New Women", but from the good ol' family court...

Let me ask you Nothing: did you lose anything in this process? Did the said American lady tell you to get off the bus and call you an infidel if you turned down the tract? If yes I would be just as outraged as you. If not then isn't it just fretting over nothing?

That bit of the history of Islam I do know a little. Thank you. I came across this "rumour" that Sassanid nobles came to the Tangs as well. As far as I am concerned it's all historical hearsay and likely revisionist "elaboration". We can continue along this "revisionist" history since the...

No they are not synonymous, that I realize. I recall reading a thread a while back where a "passionate" Hui netizen "proved" that the Hui lineage stretched all the way back to pre-Islamic Zoroastrian times ... Then I got lost.

Thanks indeed! I just googled the Wikipedia entry, and learned something. Wish they taught us about such an interesting character in school textbooks. Of course, either because of his connections to the "five mas", or because of his religious affiliation, or both, he wasn't mentioned in my...
