The Bill Of Right is written by people so it can change by people if necessary. I bet if the gun law is to put in a popular vote come November, it'll be eliminated. Of course it won't be in the ballot because, as you said, it'll suicidal for any politician to even suggest it except those in the...

Disgusting! Someone should torch the NRA headquarter! RIP to the deceases and my condolences to their love ones.

@ hello-10 It was a sarcasm that the defense industry is about the only bright spot in the US economy due to the tireless efforts of Hilary Clinton to stir up scare mongering sentiments in the western Pacific to boost up the sale of military hardware.

That's about the only bright spot in our economy and the credit goes to Hilary. Too bad she's retiring because we sure can use her verbal skills on the behalves of our arm merchants.

(sign) Anybody knows how much money that is? If one can change 16 trillion dollars into single dollar bills and line them up the long way toward the moon, they can travel from the earth to moon and back round trips more than 3,000 times. Some kind of number we're talking about here.

Was it only 7 years ago? It seemed like ages. I hope Mother Nature will have mercies this time around, poor New Orleans.

More if you count the 'after spending' which is still ongoing in the forms of security precautions. I wouldn't blame that on Bush and company though, however, they clearly made judgement mistakes on the revenge methods.

Now we can really use those trillions of dollars Bush and companies wasted on wars and tax cut for the riches to revitalize our economies. It's just amaze how ignorant and short sighted these so called elect officials are in Washington are. With costs of living so high in America, I'm afraid...

My bad, I misunderstood the roles of churches and NGOs play in China in your post. For some segment of the society, I guess, China is doing better than the US then. See post #1239 (thanks)

Perhaps in China where they have hidden agendas, but not in NYC. No NGOs operate here and churches don't have programs to help middle age poors. 'Soup Kitchens' are funded by private donations.

Not all poors are qualified for food stamps. If you're in the 40s, with or without degrees, you're stuck. Whatever odd end jobs you can find, which is not easy, you still don't make enough to pay rent and food. Forget about health insurances. Some phenomenons in New York City are: You can see...

At least in China, where the cost of living is relative low, you still have a chance. In America if you're over 40 and lost your job it's going to be real tough if you have no nested eggs.

Ah, that's more like it. Chinese people, away from motherland, can not survived well without Chinatowns. There we meet and gossip with our compatriots about nostalgia and news tidbits from home over breakfast of dim sums and bring home weekly supplies of Chinese groceries. There also where we...

I'm all for it if Unicor sells it's product at market competitive price and the profits go back to the prison system to lower the cost of operations in the prison systems and thus saving tax payers' subsidies. It's about time prisoners too earn their keeps instead of leeching on the society, in...

This has huge potentials when one province trying to out invest the others for bragging right. Looks like Sri Lanka is going to be the favorite destination for Chinese investors, tourists and even immigrants very soon. Now it's time for Sri Lankan government to train the next generation to...

When I was looking at some old pictures of Shanghai of the early eighties all I saw were bicycles everywhere and no cars around. The few bridges that were around packed with two wheelers in the morning commutes. People, men and women alike, dressed in dull blue grey and they didn't look...

I just gave you a promotional 'thanks' and the rest is up yo you.

They must've hold dual US India citizenship and believe in the rights to bear arms.

LOL The pot calling the kettle black! Politicians are jokes these days.

Sometimes a picture tells a (thousand) story(s) but sometimes words alone is all it need to send a message. No need to be too graphic here.
