guys...

PMs are very very good things to straighten out differences...to talk below the water line so as not to upset some of our more gentle folk..and to use if you think you are going to lose your temper and wind up saying something you might regret later...

I highly reccomend them.


back to the topic...now why would anyone want to escape to the philippines? Does it offer a haven of some sort? this is interesting...i may need to run there sooner or later.

later

8) Yes, the Philippines is a good place to be... lots of sunshine and good beaches.

As for the possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the Chinese government seems to think that by removing the Taiwanese president Chen, then all is well. China's side has even thought of assassinating the Taiwanese president by missiles and so on and thinks to subdue Taiwan by 'beheading the Head' as China calls it. That is rather a terrorist way of doing things, it seems.

Contingency plans, of course have to be formulated to protect the elected Taiwanese president, in case of such underhand tactics are used against him.

im sorry,,,but it seems to me that being president of taiwan must be more messed up than any other job in the world.

he must have nerves of steel..that or some very good drugs...

It seems so... when 1.3 billion people seem to want his life...

SAINT, sir:
China and Singapore just like-- "North and South Korea"--------------This is the most ignorant comment I have ever heard for long time. SAINT, Have you ever heard about “reform and open policy” in China and that policy has been there for almost 30 years? have you ever heard China is pulling the largest investment from the world in 2003? Have you ever heard average Chinese life span is on the top class in the world? Have you ever heard more than 300,000 Chinese students coming back to China each year from westen world to change the China more rapidly. Have you ever heard USA thinks China is the most potential competitor in the world? Have you ever heard in next 20 years China might be leading economy entity in the world? Have you ever heard China is going setup its own space station soon? Yeah, SAINT, in your mind, most Chinese still starving to death and beg food from you and you are scared cause we might only look for you for food cause we will think you might have some “blood” relationship with you and we might still think you are “CHINESE”. WHAT A NARROW MIND WITH YOU—SAINT. And please do not even think about the word “Chinese”, cause you are just going to put stains on the word “Chinese” by just thinking about it. Let me tell you what word you deserve---“PUPPY”. 20 years huge changes and improvements in China (both in economy and society system) in your eyes is nothing. I call it “DISCIMINATION” cause we have some weirdo here think himself has evolved to ENGLISHMAN already after he has been "COLONIZED" by a drowning "empire" once upon a time.
SAINT, WAKE UP, it is 2004, not 1904

Mod edit: this was totally unacceptable by the rules of the forum: this portion of the post was edited due to abusive language.

"Singapore is a democratic society"--------------This is the most hilarious word I have ever heard for a long time. I am even reluctant to argue with you. Technically only one party is allowed and the son heritage the presidency from the father. What a great democracy!!! And people will be "OFFICIALLY" beat up in jail by government if he might just splits. Where is the human right? What a joke !!!!! Your Singapore is a WIEDO MIXTURE of dictator and your so called “Democracy” that you only learned and understood 0.1% from your old step father British!!! Beside, you know what, your so-called “proud heart” married a small piece of island that just generate a twisted soul for you. Everybody knows most pycho killers cover themselves with bright appearances. Go to see a doctor, SIANT, you are just one of them with twisted soul!!

I once was told some ignorant white people discriminate black people in America but same time some ignorant black people in America discriminate black people in Africa; I also was told Indian was discriminated by some stupid local people in England but same time some ignorant Indian in England discriminate Indian in India.

Now I realize there is ignorant "COLONIZED" Chinese discriminate Chinese in China.--------WHAT A SHAME ON YOU AND PATHETIC!!!

SAINT, remember, being a puppy is good, just do not bark, ---that is stupid. And especially when puppy barks towards a lion---that is more than stupid, that is disgusting. .

It's alright not to agree with each other, but please try to stay civil anyway!!

I wont tolerate any more violations of the forum rules:

And Protein, why don't you head over to the welcoming centre and introduce yourself??

Thanks.

Prostein:

Woah, your argument is simply great!

Well, like it or not, CSB will be gone after another 4 years, and Taiwan will not float to America continent, we are watching and monitoring on him day and night

The way CSB is going he may well be gone in less than 4 years

I read that story often but the reality is WHY? Taiwan poses no threat and we do have a protective treaty with Nationalist China. The PRC has expanded by taking back Hong Kong from the British. Their economy is growing without risking war.

They did not take it back, It was returned to them when the 99 years of the lease agrrement were over. Lets not accuse them of things they did not do.
