Just a thought.

[Phats]

I never realized how much of a problem it is there. Goes to show how informed we are over here. It's a very scary thought

[rsxrsx]

Shocking, holy somkes, that really, really makes a person think. man we are so uninformed over hear, I guess that's what they call scared reality:dunno:

[Ekliptix]

damn, that's brutal

i think this is what Canadians, Americans, British, and other more advanced nations should show to young people and everyone. Everyone stresses "oh HIV and AIDS in africa needs a lot of help!" but no one looks towards asia. World War II, people looked at europe, but looked away at asia.

In a way, i'm not suprised by all this, i heard and seen a lot of this among those countries. One of the worst things i seen was at taiwan i saw these chained beggars at night street markets and they were told to beg for money from their "masters". Everyone just walked over them and ignored them like ants.

Humanity isn't cruel, humanity is just blind to see what itself is.

haven't gone in a while. but i know taiwan is pretty much f--ked up. unemployment down the drain, young girls becomming escorts (i saw this on taiwan news this year) and a lot of ppl running to the states, and canada just to get jobs, theres like a suddenly flush of kids from taiwan i noticed... thats bad cuz more competition for college, and being that i'm about ready to switch to college, i'm saying "go back you fobs!" even though i'm one of them but i was born here.

i dont like going to taiwan because:
1. The heat during summer is freaking hot and so much humidity
2. There always seems to be a plague during summer.
3. Too dirty, you go there most foods are dirty.
4. Traffic is hell, worse than Los Angeles and New York City combined.
5. Government is very corrupt and sometimes they have something against American citizens.
yes i know this still applies to today...

AIDS isn't only in some faraway country, two of my good friends (and a few of their friends) right here in calg are suffering from it right now. Very upsetting because when you contract it you feel fine for a long time, but when it begins the sickness becomes horrible and you know it's a guaranteed death sentence.

Very sad

well~is not that f--ked up~most countries' unemployment down the drain~and young girls~i know this one~well~is bad~just some underage school girl having sex for money~but this one is not only Taiwan~Japan started it~and HK, , China,TW, JP, Korean~are all doing it~ha ha~what u expect~u live in California~so i guess you should just choose some colloege outside California~and you were born in American~shouldn't you be an ABC??

ha ha~those reason i might not agree with u if i never come to Canada~since i live in Taiwan for 3/4 of my life~i barely noticed~but when i went back last summer~i totally agree with u~but i don't have problem with #5 though~~actually this go way back~American was the one help China got into UN~so Taiwan forfeited its seat in UN~plus US charge TW for Animal right and human right~that why they are kind of against american citizens~I guess u probably u know all this~~
but seriously~man~if u got any chance~try to go to China~i went there last summer too~and i actually got very scare~most f--ked up countries i have ever been~~!!

That stuff about japan in WWII was soo true. I find it very strange that north america only condems germany for the shit they were into then. I have not seen 1 movie or documentry about the equally ruthless and terrible japanese treatment of the chinese. I cant count the number of times there has been some sort of media special on the holocaust, and i also cannot count the amout of times there has been some sort of media special on the japanese, but both for very different reasons. The shit they did freaks the hell out of me. Its hard to believe that people could actually do that to other people.............

I don't think it was quite as bad as the holocaust.... Did the Japanese kill 6 million chinese over the period of 4 years??? For ethnic cleansing?? Did they have thousands line up in front of specially made death chambers? (Acid showers, etc)

It's funny how China was refusing to quarantine SARS victims...
Especially since it can be transferred via coughing... (Unlike AIDS), and how quickly it kills....
Canada already has over 160 confirmed cases, including the infectious disease expert at Mount Sinai hospital...


It's too bad China won't get off their lazy asses (from what I've read) and take effective measures to stop the spread... Remember, SARS cases will grow exponentially...

yea i'm a ABC, but my parents r both from taiwan and china so i listen to what they say, and my relatives come to visit from both countries so i know the situations. yes the government is corrupt and pretty much fucked up, recently the entire administration for the current "president" resigned, the entire administration, because they didn't like the president's actions. Yea i been to china, and some parts in china is bad, but at least its cleaner than taiwan. they dont have mad plagues killing tons of children every summer, from foot and mouth to the plague from the mosquitos...
