I think its rather silly to think that constant profit driven growth will continue, it is also a silly stupid misuse of the Australia because it promotes pollution, greed, and self interest at the expensive of others, including the wildlife. Profits inevitably winged up in the hands of a few, if you watched the recent TV program, relating to the experience of Cambodian refugee family that settled here. The family lost all there properties (a number of them)after following advice and trusting the Australian system, they had no idea the country is run by a bunch of thieves constantly making profits at the expensive of others
first interest today was finding shrivelling-willy, we had a really good frost touring along back country roads, mountain roads, exploring old gold fields, following bush tracks, taking-in mountain views, taking photos of wildlife, my web and computer, if i could would again grow avocado and other subtropical fruit trees
Another bunch of sheep, on TV last night they showed lots of prominent signs promoting Islam placing inferring they were JC above Allah that had been put up by Moslem's to improve community relations between Moslem and Christians in Australia. Indonesia is teaching in all of its schools that northern Australia is part of Indonesia, and it has done that for many years. Then Prime Minister John Howard accepted a copy of the Koran from Susilo Bambang Yudhoyonoto to read and stated he would. I personally think Howard was completely mad in putting its contents on his mind-stream. They are both a bunch of loose canons as best as i can tell, to my mind the Burka symbolizes ownership of a women by a man, my understanding is its worm to hide the beauty or otherwise of some ones women, and symbolises acceptance of the flawed teachings of Allah.
The world will decide whether they gunner bow down to the nine clowns ruling China. Jaffery Pakistan is on a very slippery slope, the Taliban has its roots in Pakistan not Afghanistan, the reasons myself and others see China as a threat is i think in part expressed herein. You should read what's been said
Pakistans northern neighbour before 1962 was the peaceful Tibetans, who indeed provided a peaceful buffer zone between the views of West and Eastern nations. Tibet was illegally invaded by communist China, Tibet had never been part of China. In that regard please visit this thread
I could not agree with either of the assumptions you make, Phillippines have every right to international norm and can called the sea within its jurisdiction whatever it likes.
Exclusive economic zones (EEZs) These extend from the edge of the territorial sea out to 200 nautical miles from the baseline. Within this area, the coastal nation has sole exploitation rights over all natural resources. In casual use, the term may include the territorial sea and even the continental shelf. The EEZs were introduced to halt the increasingly heated clashes over fishing rights, although oil was also becoming important. The success of an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947 was soon repeated elsewhere in the world, and by 1970 it was technically feasible to operate in waters 4000 metres deep. Foreign nations have the freedom of navigation and overflight, subject to the regulation of the coastal states. Foreign states may also lay submarine pipes and cables. An American intrupretation can also be found here:
In relation to Tibet: It is an out and out lie to claim Tibet has never been part of China, both China and the British invaded Tibet, China in 1910 again in 1954 and yet again in 1962. Tibet has never ever been a part of China, Tibet shared a relationship with the Mongolian Khan during the time the Khan ruled China, at no other time was Tibet ever in any way what so ever a part of China, its just blatant lies told by the communist party to suggest otherwise, Tibet has never been part of China. You seemed to ignored content of my first post in this thread, perhaps you might refresh your mind on all the subject matter i raised and include the millions staving in North Korea and the millions Pal Pot killed, both of those fully franked and fully supported by China. Do you honestly believe the Pope and Protestants and others are going to fold there cards and submit to a bunch of lairs, do you really think the (so called) free world is gunner bow down to a bunch of dishonest morons running a dictatorship depriving free speech, religion, freedom of thought, association etc etc the Human Rights Charter proclaims, get serious mate, prepare yourself for a very big shock
Regarding the build up of military in the Seas around China,most of this stems from repeated aggression by the Philippines and by Japan, remember that historically, China and Japan hate each other due to Japans constant aggression and, more importantly, its (Japans)refusal to admit to the attacks, even changing history books to deny the atrocities carried out on China mainland in the past. Having lived and learnt just a fraction of real Chinese history, it has completely changed my western view on this passive and non aggressive country, populated by some of the worlds kindest and friendliest people.
The Philippines own just one old second world war frigate, how you see the Philippines offering China repeated aggression begger's disbelief. Passive and non aggressive hehehehe what rubbish... Illegally attacking Tibet the seat of the Dalai Lamas non violent sovereign nation and killing more than a million, including Monks and Nuns, indicates to me your buying there blatant lies, wearing rose coloured glasses, though i would agree every day Chinese people are good people the lunatic peoples party certainly isn't.
Do yourself a favour and build a really good bomb shelter as your gunner need it...
