@oldeguy The One Child policy actually started in 1980, and was replaced by a two-child policy in 2016., so I cannot guess where you got 2013 from It was responsible for creating a huge gender imbalance in the young population, wealth in the following generation, and lack of carers in an aging population. The so-called 'left-over women' phenomenon in China is consequently a nonsense since there is an excess of 45m marriageable males, and graduate females far outnumber the males, so like it or not, they'll have to marry better educated and better qualified women.
Pak-ah-pu by the way: Pakapoo (pinyin baigepiao 'white dove ticket' sometimes spelt pak-ah-pu) is a Chinese lottery game popular in Oceania in the 19th century, including on the Victorian Goldfields. The master ticket is kept hidden and is marked by the organiser of the game.
Australia also interned British nationals of German ancestry in World War I, and German Italian and Japanese ancestry in World War II. The numbers were of course much less, 7,000 in WWI, 12,000 in WWII. The infamous White Australia Policy of 1901-1966 restricted non-white immigration and deported undesirable residents.
Testing does not reduce deaths, on the contrary it reduces deaths to confirmed ratio, and that's good coz it shows what a great health system 'we' have. Globally that's looking like 5% and that's about what US confirms - doesn't matter how you dice them, it's converging thereabouts.
when finding a rhyme for the Pelican? I never eat more than my belly can accommodate. I abominate Being stuffed full of fish And wish To return as an albatross
A sad sob story of Wirth's circus, perhaps about 1950. I used to catch the bus to Narrabeen alone, aged 5, going to the pre-school there - and there alongside Narrabeen lake I saw the circus tent pitched. I begged begged, piteously begged mum to take me there for my birthday, and she sick and burnt from the deep-ray treatment agreed. My father in hospital, war wounds and cancer. (Both survived the big C by the way). "But mum you have to take me to the Circus, you promised." One day, deadly ill she dragged herself out of bed, and we caught the bus to Narrabeen lakes... no circus, it had gone. So that wet grey day, she hired a rowboat and took me rowing under the grey grey sky. Her arms ached for weeks, poor mum. And no circus, poor me!
Do not get bitten By that mercedes kitten For kitten she's not And sharp claws she's got Don't rub 'er up the wrong way And dare not go astray Nor goose her you goose Or do anything gauche well what rhymes with goose? can we perhaps try caboose Well that's my lot, And you can see I've just lost the plot.
FourCheeses Should you happen to look back at what you just wrote, stepping outside yourself, so to speak, what would you think? A genius? Or a demented incoherent idiot? No need to ask me what I think, of course, 'blathering idiot' comes to mind.
@GeneralBeak Why on earth do you claim TikTok as communist? - communist obsessed you guys are. It is owned and developed by a mainland Chinese company.
This give me a perfect example for my lessons on simple past tense, past perfect and present perfect tense. It worked for Bobbitt too - up to a point, the point being when his wife grabbed a knife. So of course has worked will be the focus. Worked is the tense someone delivering the eulogy will use. All the dangers in my life have been self made. The sports car on an icy mountain road. Up a tall ladder with a chainsaw. Climbing a snow mountain on a sunny day with no gear. Riding downhill in the dark after a liquid party. As I say self-made madness
@lcbr see, here's the problem with your logic. Like Bush saying about 20 years ago 'if you are not with us, you are agin us' ... Pointing out again and again that your arguments for Epoch Times anti-China arguments are gullible, is not supporting China or its government at all. It is just saying that Epoch Times lies and creates seemingly credible videos to spread its lies. I have never said anything FOR China's government, in fact. I do detest the Abbott government deceased, and the current Australian government, but how on earth can you conclude I prefer China's government. Feeble logic, feller.
The left-leaning toad thinks by claiming he plants misspellings and other clever contrivances he can thus evade scrutiny... No doubt he thinks Vanilla sounds like Manila so of course both have two 'L's? Nicht wahr ol' fella? Like, if he was a surgeon, now, vas ist das? two kidneys, vitch vun should I remove? Oh who cares, anyvun ist genug!
Interesting to note the cicadas, akubra hat and unmistakable Australian bush about 10-12 mins into the video. At that point the presenter's voice became instantly Australian too ... some element of perception had kicked in
