THE INTERNET VS CHINA

I don't understand all there is to know about Hong Kong.
I do know that the internet hates China and that China couldn't care less.


This was written in Hong Kong by young protestors.
 What do you think would happen if a city that the US rented to another country wanted their independence after the lease ran out?

Don't get me wrong. I'm on the side of the protestors.
FUCK THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT!!!!
I just think it is a little hard to think any other country would let part of their country go.


But I don't even know what Winnie-The-Pooh has to do with it.



 ^^A1^^

I remember these things...






I think the difference between China and the US is that a Communist can run for office in America, but no opposition party is permitted in China.

Here is a random assortment of internet finds on the subject.

















But before you get all high and mighty about how many citizens China throws in prison, consider this:

Jimmy Carter fell and cut his head and a day later is back to helping build homes with Habitat for Humanity.
At first, I observed that the guy handing him the screws could have finished three of those while Carter if fucking around with one. But the man isn't there to work quickly. The man is there to raise awareness.

"Education in Scotland, like many European countries, is completely free. So, in theory, you could get a Ph.D. in any subject and it will cost you absolutely nothing.  Of course, education comes out of your taxes but that's something I'm willing to live with.  Free healthcare, prescriptions, education and many other things for 20% out of my paycheck is absolutely worth it to me. 
The man pictured here is Alex Salmond who wrote/said the quote. He was Scotland's prime minister until 2014 when he resigned.

Sometimes you just need to put things into perspective."

Many years ago I had a job of running art classes in city parks. They had a warehouse full of crap for me to use, most of it useless. I did salvage a large box of fabric and used it to teach the kids how to tie sting to the corners and attach a rock or stick to make a crude parachute.
Years later the person who took over that job from me told me that the kids still demanded to make one every summer.

Being nice to someone you hate does not make you two-faced. It makes you a mature adult who knows when to pick their battles and when to just let it go and tolerate someone's shortcomings.

Is this rape training or self-defense training?

Pikes Peak, Evo Corner
The corner is named after that crash. They lived.

GET LEARNT

Meat Has Been Grown in Space For The First Time, Hundreds of Miles Above Earth
They start by extracting cells from a cow through a small biopsy. The cells are then placed in a "broth" of nutrients that simulates the environment inside a cow's body. From there, they grow into a thin piece of steak.

Most of the young people I know would have no idea who Zeus and Hera were or why it is funny.
But that doesn't keep them from having strong opinions on just about everything.
