Good. Belt and Road was a scammy project deamt up by Xi. Xi has had his eye on dominating Africa for decades. Wake up before China, Xi's China, bleeds you dry. Xi is a psychopathic megalomaniac compared to Trump. If you want to live under a repressive authoritarian rule, then by all means, join up with Xi, and let him Take the BELT to thee...

What will this do, if the Canadians become angry, to the price of Molson beer? a. South of the border in USA? b. Overseas in Thailand?

As you say, it was his fault for exposing himself in/to these conditions.

You mean... It's in her kiss? Mercy!

I agree with you. Also, you are completely correct about the Chinese-American "reporter". Instead of thinking for herself, she sucked in the uni-pablum at one particular time in America, and she did this without first subjecting this garbage pablum to critical analysis. She was warped by taking the wrong courses at the wrong school, and doing so without the experience to see other sides to every tidbit her profs were feeding her. There have been many young families from China who emigrate to the USA with very young children. And then, the parents and children never again see eye-to-eye....and FILIAL PIETY is thrown out the window. I would NEVER take children the USA, if I were Chinese. Wait until the kids are at least at college age. Or, better yet, skip the undergad years and just go for the grad schools in the USA which are good. But the undergrad schools are a WASTE of money. Pure WASTE. You can get a good undergrad education in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and China....and then, maybe, go to the USA for grad work. The American Woman is full of rage, even if this American Woman is of Chinese ethnicity. America is worse than a Re-Education Camp for young Asian Women. Therefore, Chinese Parents.... Please beware of this trap.

I beg to differ. This is not how child development works. a. When I meet Chinese who have mostly grown up in the USA, or when I meet Chinese who were born in China, and only left china for high school and college, and then a few years of employment, they are completely different and exhibit culturally-influenced behaviors, compared to those that have not left China for the USA. b. It's easy to see the rage in this woman's face. This is a face that could only have been created in the USA, and not China. You have not lived in Asia or China long enough to pick up on certain important queues that allow you to see the differences between women in China and the American Woman. There is really a huge difference. c. This woman reporter was and still is quite an idiot, because she is attending the WH briefing in order to have a debate with the president. This is stupidity. I bet this was intentional just to try to quickly further her career, and do so by using distasteful, though not illegal, ways. She should have been banned. And, I believe she should have been sent BACK to China, where Xi could have beat some sense into her, though sending her to one of the Chinese re-education camps near QingHai Lake, or someplace in Qinghai province to be treated as any other political prisoner, until she can mend her ways, and act like a professional reporter. d. I am only telling you that it matters NOT what might be one's skin color. And, a woman of any color, if exposed to American culture, the NEW American culture, will quickly be converted and warped into an American Woman, if exposed at an early enough age. And, the most dangerous age for being converted and warped in this way is pre-junior high school. Normally, this process will take eight years. However, even worse is to arrive in the USA when one is TWO or less than two. When this happens, the muscles in the face will change a bit, and then we will see this kind of RAGE FACE that is so apparent on this reporter's face. Truly she IS a new American Woman. How can her parents even stand her? And, in truth, they probably cannot. If you still do not know what I am talking about. Just read Joy Luck Club and other books, real books.... I am not saying that you, or anyone, might understand it, if anyone had not spent a great deal of time in the families of Chinese in places like China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, especially Hong Kong in this case. If you have not become a part of Chinese families in these places, then you will just never get it, and you cannot. You do not understand Asia. You are a Tourist in Asia....ONLY. And then, you cannot possibly know much about this Topic. ================== "Many have done research on facial expressions and culture. An interesting topic, and there are differences. If one has not spent the time in both the USA and in Asia, then it's difficult to notice these differences. A Chinese woman born and raised in China, and a Chinese woman born in China and living in the USA since the age of TWO, is a completely different animal....believe me. There is much information concerning research on this available on the internet. Maybe we should start a Topic on TV, too......!!!!!!

Yes, a revamping is sorely needed.

So then. Please remind me to not come to you for references requested by future prospective employers. Or, do you think there might be any chance of my winning you over to my side?

I actually thought you were engaging in hyperbole when I first read your assertion. But then, I decided to check it out. Astoundingly, you are just about on target: a. I think it's all that corn. These youngsters are true Children of the Corn. Corn soft-drinks, corn burgers, cornbread, corn up the wazoo until they are too fat to be healthy, or too fat to go on dates. b. Of course this is not healthy. The diet must change, and it must change from the first weeks of life. Food preferences are developed early in life. Children were meant to drink water, and NOT sugar water. So then, what's with all this juice drinking? c. If I were younger, I would not date a woman so fat. I would not want my potential off-spring to learn from a fat woman about eating habits. Fat women should do other things like, maybe, work at the circus. d. This obesity did not begin on my watch in America. I left in 1979. America is on the wrong track. And, it is the women who are leading children in the wrong direction. This will not change until some catastrophe. Therefore, best to stay away for the next 50 yeears.

They're basically just kids, really. Arrested development. There ARE humans who refuse to grow up, you know. And, the best places to find these children. most male, are courts with balls. Anywhere you find a ball, you will find one of these types. And, to make it even worse, they get paid exorbitantly for not growing up. Those who pay them and idolize them wonder why they go off the rails, maybe punching a woman in the nose, or worse. They are basically psychiatric cases, such as Tyson and others, especially the American footballers and basketballers. As you say, despicable. And, they swing on hoops with one are just like..... You know what,... Those other related primates. This is the most important reason we need to either cut them off at the knees, or find player of average height, plus or minus about 5 centimeters.

Please just examine the algorithm. An algorithm, once written, is a mindless beast. Computers never do the wrong thing.

In centimeters? 218 centimeters.

These are actually ALL much needed improvements to the game, if only the government would mandate the changes. Only thing, though... Can we change the string-across-court to braided wire, or maybe even electrified-fence wire? And, what about having not just one basket, but two baskets on each side of the court (4 total, of course)? They could have one height for height-challenged people, and one for the super-tall people. And, right, NO SWINGING on hoops. I hate that.

You mean, 110 kilograms.

I am not the only one. Even Randy Newman. He never once sang about tall people.

Just curious: What is the deleted word in the headline of this Topic? Were you trying to say: Some British brute? Or, did you mean: Some Brutish british? Or, what, exactly?

What is a hangover?

Most garage sales in America are held at Walmart.

Dear Folks, Have you ever considered the height of most NBA players today? They are tall, right? Do you think it’s fair that the NBA is able to select such tall men, without giving due consideration to us shorter guys? Would it not be more “just” if the NBA were to set an average team height which is the same as the average height of the American male? In this way, more men would be able to have an equal chance to play pro ball, and to reap hugely oversized salaries. Here is the average height of present-day NBA players: And, here is the average height of American males: Can we not see a bias here in the present-day drafting of players for the NBA, just based on height, alone, and not on other equally admirable qualities, not to mention equal rights to play ball? Is this fair? Also, is this entertaining??? No, it is not fair. And, no, it is also not entertaining for most shorter sports fans. Obviously, it would be far more entertaining and equitable to set the maximum average-player’s height at 5 feet 9 inches..And to have some players shorter, or taller, at the coach’s discretion. Personally, I would love to see a team composed of 5 players, ranging in height from 7-feet tall down to 4.5-feet tall. This would make the dull game of pro-ball far more entertaining, and level the field a lot. Short guys would then enjoy watching NBA basketball…that much more. I realize that, these days, America is becoming far more merit-based. But still, short guys have merit too, and they surely can play ball, when they want to. Would you not prefer to see a much more heterogeneous population of "team players" on each team of the NBA, composed of both super-short guys, as well as super-tall guys, plus an average guy? I would. Would you be more interested in watching American basketball if this tallness-bias could be totally eradicated from pro-ball? Remember, back in the day, the great Harlem GlobeTrotters? They were not tall, but they were truly great. Also, they were true Americans. I just hope that Trump will look into this, and fix it, when he has time to do so. Super-tall is not a handicap. Therefore, why should the super-tall players receive this type of special consideration? Not Fair!!!!! Best regards, Gamma Note: This kind of height-based favoritism really makes one mad. Obviously, short/average guys have rights, and they want to play, too.

Then, we agree.

And even better to be a male in either country, IMHO. Although, there is something to be said for being able to look great in real silk stockings and a sheer negligee.

This is truly very good news. For some strange reason, Americans misconstrue Conspicuous Consumption with Patriotism. When the Twin-Towers were hit.... Little-Bush's message was: Buy Baby Buy Americans buy too much garbage. This is why American Homes require THREE GARAGES, these days. They don't park their cars in the three garages. They park their cars in their driveways, or on the street. The three garages are to house their excess garbage that they buy for patriotic reasons, and also to impress their patriotic neighbors. When import tariffs increase retail prices in America, then maybe this type of empty patriotism might stop.

And, I would have said... Anywhere dogging is not illegal.

No analysis required that is not free of charge... Just listen to this tune and have a re-think.... Can't hurt. Note: Maybe you will even hear a few helpful interpolations from The Chieftains in this one.... Note2: The Chieftains. One of the most Cherished of all Celtic Time.
