Yeah - I wasn't sure about that one either. Besides I heard that in Queensland at least, and possibly other Eastern states, they're called Bevans. (Aug 15, 2009 | post #17)
Congratulations to China for making the NOT Free country list

Despite your much vaunted English skills you evidently haven't been able to discern between a column and a news article. (Aug 15, 2009 | post #166)
China Trade Ruling Helps US, but Piracy a Problem
If China wasn't ripping them off - it would just be some other country, and they all do Korea, Thailand, Taiwan. I've been on the streets and seen the bootlegs for movies that are currently screening - before the DVD has been released. How do the get to make them BEFORE the DVD comes out?

Congratulations to China for making the NOT Free country list
And China was 82. I thought you Chinese were supposed to be good at math. (Aug 15, 2009 | post #67)

Congratulations to China for making the NOT Free country list
I may suck at math, but I'm better than you, mate. The top 30% is rankings 1-30. By the figures you provide China is in the top 40% - and even then only barely. (Aug 14, 2009 | post #61)

No. He's wrong - and so are you. (Aug 14, 2009 | post #152)
And they've had a good run, but now we've got science and rational thought religion serves no good purpose. BAN ALL GODS!! (Aug 14, 2009 | post #97)

The low 80s out of 200 equals the top 30%?? I suck at math, but even I know that doesn't add up. (Aug 14, 2009 | post #54)
Morgellon's Wiring our Consciousness
You're quoting a B grade sci-fi film as evidence?? This is even more ludicrous than some of the usual conspiracy garbage paraded on this forum - and that's saying something. (Aug 14, 2009 | post #3)

Being Chinese language newspapers it doesn't mean anything to me - I'll just have to take your word for the quality of their contents. But considering your quite ludicrous assesment of English [language] papers as, "clearly well controlled, filtered and monitored by their editors (Not much different to the communist ways of control and censorship). I don't think their journalists would remain on the job if they dare to write something favourable to China". I doubt you have any kind of objective basis worth trusting. Are you being hyperbolic, or do you mean that literally? (Aug 14, 2009 | post #139)
Racist leaflets target African refugees | Breaking News
This was a tactic of the Australian Nationalist Movement as well. They'd paste up their little hate sheets all over town targetting Asians, Africans, and Aboriginals. Step Two - was a crime spree to finance their 'race war'. Step Three - was fire bombing Asian restaraunts. Step Four - was murdering people. (Aug 14, 2009 | post #6)
'Let him die' decision sane - not a lot of suffering: doctor
So, you're saying he should be allowed to have the choice of ways to die - rather than dragging it out? (Aug 14, 2009 | post #5)
