They were holding up a piece of concrete, supposedly reinforced. What the builder had used for reinforcement was a joke. Instead of rebar, it looked like he had used that very light steel-mesh material (approx. 6"x6" square) that we use to support a concrete slab in a garage floor that is laid over 6" of compacted gravel. Instead of using rebar, which you or I wouldn't be able to bend with our bare hands, he used material a four year old could twist out of shape. Don't tell me what I saw fool, I'll tell you. cheers....Jeff Look you twerp. When a US army squad in Iraq murders a family there Listen "Who Flung Poo", we are talking about murderously criminal building practices in _Communist China_! Do try to keep on track. Ergo when a single building disintegrates in a humongous earthquake you can point fingers and sacrifice a few goats to satisfy public outrage. When more than 300 schools disintegrated the same way you are going to prosecute anyone and everyone who had a hand in building those schools? You are certainly very naive in the ways things work. Naive me? Not at all, business as usual, corrupt as usual. it's the Communist Chinese way. I'll tell you one remarkable example how the Chinese system works. When DXP came back to power the Cultural Revolution was still alive until they arrested the Gang of Four. With the devastation that the CR and the GLF (Great Leap Forward) and other Mao inspired disasters there was a tremendous amount of damage to be made good. So DXP decreed that there were far too many injustices and far too many interconnected crimes ever to sort out. Getting China back on track was of paramount importance. So there was to be no recriminationsw, no boards of inquiries, no investigations into what had gone on before. He (DXP) himself was treated very badly. His eldest son (a physics undergrad then)was thrown from or had leapt from an upper storey and crippled. The son was denied medical attention and is now a quadripelgic. If DXP did not seek revenge no one else could and the bad blood that would have flowed and poisoned everything never did. Translation: thing's were so bad, corruption was so commonplace and systemic, there would have no no hierarchy left. So it will be with this earthquake. The first order of things is to get back the countryside in order and the people housed and gainfully employed. Before the end of the year is out the debris will have been cleared and reconstruction begun. Premier Wen has declared that within three years all the roads, bridges and infrastructures will be repaired. They will be finished ahead of schedule. In that three years will arise new cities, towns and residential areas as if they seemed to have sprouted from the ground overnight. All we'll see, are the thousands of grave markers, all bearing the same date. I sure hope they build them a lot better than they did last time. I bet the people do too. But meantime screw your CNN attempts to paint a fumbling and dysfuntional picture of Chinese people. It must really *frost your ass* seeing the truth of your communist regime being held up for the world's scrutiny. The Chinese Communist's don't need help from anyone or anything, "to paint a fumbling and dysfuntional picture of Chinese people", for the world to observe. They manage perfectly all by themselves. If the Chinese people are really lucky, one day they will be able to watch the likes of CNN and decide for themselves whether or not they find the reporting to their taste. That would of course entail a lot more freedom of choice, than is currently allowed in your *pariah* nation. cheers....Jeff |

They watch CNN alright. Jack Cafferty found that out the last time he made a slur and had to apologize. However, to really influence the mass of oppressed Chinese CNN and other western media will have to broadcast in Chinese. There's a 1.3 billion x 2 eyeballs there to catch. Its a worthwhile investment to mess up their minds. As for the rest of your rant if that's what you want to believe in good luck to you. It makes an interesting world. Do keep chewing on it when you eat your meals. Good for your ulcers. |

I see the BBC, in it's usual understated way, is running the Chinese government shills back at them and making them look bad. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/7313998.stm Oh dear, China is playing with the big boys now, and is about to find out the very nasty truth: "Big boy's game, big boy's rules"... The liberal intellectual thugs who run the BBC are about to make mincemeat of your beloved propaganda apparatus. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

The US, because of its size, will always be in the top league. But with their political and military establishments in disarray not an effective one. |

You may not know that it's much more likely for a Chinese to be pro-government and anti-West after he/she is exposed to freedom of expression. |

You may not know that it's much more likely for a Chinese to be pro-government and anti-West after he/she is exposed to freedom of expression. Quite possible and if you are so sure of the Chinese people's preference for the one-party Communist system, then it should be relatively easy to determine if democracy is more to their taste . Should it not ? cheers....Jeff |

"eatfastnoodle" wrote in message cheers....Jeff You are too ideological, Am I indeed ? Yes, since you look at this problem solely through the perspective of a westerner. You are talking about Chinese, billions of average zhangs or wangs living and working in China their whole lives, not the kind of Chinese you usually met in Canada or the US (even they don't tell you what they really think, trust me) as long as the Communists do a reasonable good job, Collapsing schools send a horrible message to the masses. Define *reasonable job*. Not really a big deal, again, don't just read news on New York Time. Talk to Chinese, average Chinese. I personally feel jobs done by propaganda department of Communist Party this time isn't as tacky as before, still, it's way way way over the top. Nevertheless, if you talk to real CHINESE, you will know Chinese government's response to the earthquake won them big praise and greatly increased their popularity. its hold on power, Chinese people, whatever, will be just fine. Without *freedom* how would we ever know ? Well, you first need to learn to accept not all people think "freedom" is the most important thing. Plus, as far as I know, most Chinese believe they have ample freedom already. (personal freedom, not political freedom to be sure, but most people simply don't give a damn about which party is in power) You may not know that it's much more likely for a Chinese to be pro-government and anti-West after he/she is exposed to freedom of expression. Quite possible and if you are so sure of the Chinese people's preference for the one-party Communist system, then it should be relatively easy to determine if democracy is *more to their taste . Should it not ? *cheers....Jeff They don't prefer Communist System, they just don't give a damn what the system is as long as they make good money and they marry hot girls. Is it that hard to understand? Sure, if Democracy could give them more money and better lives, I'm sure they will choose Democracy in a heartbeat. But beside Democracies in Western Europe and North America (most of these countries because rich and powerful when they weren't exactly the best example of freedom and democracy), there aren't many success stories for Democracy, on the other hand, there are plenty of screw-ups, right? The much promoted (by US media at least, I don't know about what Canadian media says)Indian economic miracle is seen as a joke by Chinese, especially by those who have traveled to India. If you had gone to the two countries, you would know comparing to an average Chinese city, India's best and most beautiful city is a dirty dump. If you want to promote democracy, at the very least, you should give your audience a success story, Chinese people so far haven't seen a success story. BTW, there is also a "our *******" factor. In the mind of Chinese people, Democracy may or may not be good, but the people who simply can not shut up about how China should adopt democracy most definitely have ulterior motives. Western Democracy preachers, if they really want to promote Democracy in China, the best they could do is to shut the hell up and just let Chinese history run its own course. They are like Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the more they talk, the more damage they will do to their cause. |

Do something useful. Go start a defense fund to help those poor Chinese parents who lost their chil]dren. That will give you a concrete means (pun intended) to get at those corrupt chicom school criminal contractors you hate so much. With more than 300 schools destoryed you can hardly miss finding one to get them corrupt commies on. Do it now and do it quick and you may even have time to watch the show "Bush 'Plans Iran Air Strike by August'" in case you don't know that is the track you really should be on. |
