Made in China: Peace in the Middle East

[khazalid]

holy f*ck, was that bishop brennan?

I know China's not perfect, I just think it gets a lot of unfair criticism from people who don't really understand what they're talking about.

Unfortunately, the saxitoxin method of deliberate obfuscation education doesn't help clear up issues.

Maldives is one of the most depressing countries. They finally get political parties and free elections, but it's a first past the post system. For now, they have an ideal FPTP (nice representation from a variety of parties), being only a few elections old. However, within my lifetime it is going to switch to a 2- or 3-party system (as all FPTP systems do). It's kind of like watching 4-year olds being locked in a room and raped slowly. You would have to pretty sick to find something good there.

Who cares about electoral systems when you're eating spicy fish balls and drinking tea in a wooden hut on a tropical beach?

Who cares about imperialism when you are watching Nascar drinking Miller Lite and eating microwaved samosas?

NASCAR, lite beer and a microwave meal. I wonder what would kill you first: heart disease or depression.

Depression. Who in their right minds drinks lite beer.
