RE: Anne frank....

@crown well they have the freedom to explore and read what they want by and large. Dream of Red Chamber is a famous Chinese novel. Genji Monogatari is a Japanese novel written over 1000 years ago by a woman. Hard read, but worth the effort. Don't extol your 'democratic freedom' too much. Of course I have no North Korean but I certainly do have south Korean students. Fundamentally people are not different.

RE: Anne frank....

@crown well yes, so far two of my Chinese and one Vietnamese students have read it - strange question. Literature is literature and reading is reading. Have you read Dream of Red Chamber or Genji Monogatari?

RE: Rishi Sunak.. British politician....

... and is Rishi Sunak either revered or respected in England? I think not, nor is his opponent who likens herself to and emulates Margaret Thatcher it would appear. As with American elections, a bitter and futile choice. Who will be the best of a bad lot then?

RE: What's Your Favorite Music Video?

that one doesn't play here - another might:

different video, same recording

RE: What's Your Favorite Music Video?

Oh and one more - Chinese pop song from a BJ TV Series; simple song! The name (dida dida) of course means 'tick-tock'

The performer's name is Kan Kan - a name which just means assured, open, fervent

RE: What's Your Favorite Music Video?

The Last Waltz - the whole movie 1978 - Scorsese
Here's just one track

I see Robbie Robertson is still composing and working with Scorsese in a 2019 and an upcoming movie.

RE: Rudy's stents...

there is news about the stents, but no connection with the 'assault'

@Rizla don't forget the quaint custom of spitting the bones on the floor!

RE: Yep, never seen this exorbitant price of fuel during Trump's time

@riz electric car? Nah! the queue for the rare earth metals used in EV batteries is years long!

RE: Yep, never seen this exorbitant price of fuel during Trump's time

@op and you attribute that to the administration? That is absurd. America has never determined the oil price, wittingly or otherwise. Silly idea, don't you agree. America might be marginally the largest exporter, but they are also the largest consumer, by 50% over a country 3350% larger? Does that too reflect on the Administration? Oil price is not a result of which president is in power. When you cut off a major oil producer and exporter like russian, what would you predict as the outcome? This is Biden? Come off it!

RE: The price of gas has dropped sharply. SOME PLACES HAVE DROPPED MORE THAN A DOLLAR A GALLON...

@chancer do you see the US administration as responsible for the price of petrol then? And specifically Biden? Remember when Russia and Saudi took the barrel price down to $40 or less (briefly -40!)? So that was some genius move of the then US President or UK PM was it - come off it, guffaw guffaw.

just below AUD$2 per litre here. Aren't the Americans peculiar refusing the metric change!? 3.8 litres roundabout per gallon. I'll stick to the bicycle and Shank's pony.

RE: Touched a nerve...

Not a one! And certainly not the sciatic nerve. Maybe a bit of Nancy Sinatra boots on the lumbar would do the trick

RE: Touched a nerve...

@OP what's up? Got a dose of blogging bug today? First six blog threads all feature @chat

RE: STEVE BANNON ON FIRE! Video Recaps from Days 1 and 2 of Political Show Trial

@OP reminds one of a famous quote from T S Eliot's aptly named 'The Hollow Men' or should that be 'The Hollering Men'?
This is the way the world ends (repeat X 3) not with a bang but a whimper'

So Boris has gone - a little fun at his expense

The grinning car salesman who used to be our prime-minister has gone too, without a whimper - not a word heard from him since! What a delight.

RE: Sciatica...

My sciatica spread all the way down to my foot, left foot. They told me the further down it goes, the worse it is. Just hope it stays in the butt'ock as Forest Gump might have said.

RE: Sciatica...

try a physio - they can tailor the exercise to suit your flavour of problem. Mine helped me find a prone position that was not too excruciating.

RE: Sciatica...

Sciatica can be dreadful! 30 odd years ago. Rising from bed, getting up from a chair, brushing the teeth. I solved it with physio and 30 or so half-body pushups from the waist every waking hour for a few weeks. There were times I felt like I was walking on a broken leg. Sometimes the arm muscles were just as sore.

An interesting aside - the book has not yet been published in USA

Do you remember the mask haters? Have you ever seen one say 'perhaps I was wrong'?

Perhaps you severally mean 'due' rather than 'do' I cannot be sure.

@mic would you like to explain how your words are relevant to this thread?

@starg what don't you understand? The bible IS a fairy story. The Greek myths carry equal weight for me. This is my view. There may be other values gleanable from the bible, but that is up to the reader and believer.

RE: Aotearoa

I heard stories of the moriori preceding the maoris and being more or less exterminated by them, but these have been somewhat discredited by modern archarologists and historians who assert there was no pre-existing species when they arrived. People cleave to their beliefs even in the face of evidence to the contrary, so what else can I say. For some reason the moriori have been assigned to the Chathams.

RE: Marxist Ideologues Exploit Climate Change Cult To Destroy Societies & Kill People -

Idiot! Marxists? Sri Lankans have no petrol, unsurprising they impose law over access. You subscribe to Bolt and Sky News? That nitwit? It figures! So if you use "Marxists" should I not label you "McCarthyist"?

Do you remember the mask haters? Have you ever seen one say 'perhaps I was wrong'?

Spent too much time with communists? Well of my time in China, I never met one. You on the other hand, it would seem, have spent too much time with sheep.

And as for 'enough evidence' none of the courts or prosecutors think so. Speculation and wishful thinking do not amount to evidence, except for those perhaps who believe in things like the bible. Of course historically the Inquisition did not need such evidence but we have progressed just a little.

Do you wear a seat-belt when driving, or exert personal choice? Do you smoke in public buildings or express personal choice? Do you spit in the street - I remember days when there were street signs saying 'no spitting' - so much for personal choice. Swear or drink in public? What you do at home is your business. Try thinking below the surface.
