To think they used to be one of the most civilised people around during ancient timesOriginally posted by the Bear:yeah.. the removal of all teachings of the past and the communists discrediting them all with lies, threw the whole country into a moral vacuum of which it has not seemed to have recovered..
Hmmm....might be a good idea to suggest my brother in law to migrate to Thailand to set up investigative task force against such manufacturers.Originally posted by the Bear:fake base syrup for cough mixture has killed thousands of people, mainly children because children make up the majority of people taking cough syrup...
latest victims, the people in some South American country, i think Ecuador
Sigh.....Originally posted by elindra:To think they used to be one of the most civilised people around during ancient times
it's that and more perhaps .... communism stripped away the individual's sense of self ... and with that, any sense of morality and scruples ... one becomes just another digit in a billion .... so you do what you can to survive .... their society is a lot more darwainian than ours .....Originally posted by Wanda:I think the cultural revolution can explain a lot for what the mainland Chinese are now.
5000 yrs of history and culture reduced to nolt...Originally posted by the Bear:yeah.. the removal of all teachings of the past and the communists discrediting them all with lies, threw the whole country into a moral vacuum of which it has not seemed to have recovered..


Yeah, they used to be one of the most advanced civilisations on this planet, and they were at one point ahead of the Swiss in the making of clocks and timepieces even!!!Originally posted by elindra:To think they used to be one of the most civilised people around during ancient times

Sigh.....Originally posted by elindra:yeah
I mean put it this way
When the Europeans were still plundering and fighting like barbarians (Vikings) and just boiling meat in salt water, the chinese were writing poems and admiring art and eating with utensils!
that is already happening ....Originally posted by elindra:Yeah
Very soon they might be like Bush and try to plunder the Middle East for Oil
Its more like demand for raw materials and fossil fuels will increase (are increasing now actually) as they develop, and these 2 huge countries wil need ALOT. In the meantime, prices of raw materials are skyrocketing. Just look at the price for copper alone!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:middle east for oil?
ehhhh.....china discovered oil recently?
err why all the sighsOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:Sigh.....
Originally posted by Fatum:that is already happening ....
they are trying to elbow into alberta ... and they are flipping the finger at the world by sucking oil up from sudan while the janjaweeds are exterminating some inconvenient "wretched savages" .....
and in 15 years time ... they'll move into the spratleys ..... and not us, not any nation in south east asia, and not the US 7th fleet, can stop that from happening ......
happy thoughts ...![]()
