My example just serves the propose of denying the saying that our government is brutal, by some guys here...actually our government is people friendly.

Deep down, though, you really should feel sorry for someone who can write that and honestly believe it.
GZBILL, I agree with you on just about everything, except this. My question, How can somebody from another country think they know more then a native born and raised and educated from that country?
What do we really know about China and it's culture? Just what we read in books and see on TV News and documentaries? In my opinion, I think the person that grew up there knows the best.
When the person that grew up there shows, by what they post, that they have the grasp of a three year old, then you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be right. And it really isn't rocket science.
You see this a lot in the uneducated sector -- often with poor self-esteem -- of every country where they take a non-threatening factual comment and get defensive to the point where what little reality they do hold turns into steam. Next will come the "Foreigners should get out of China!" rant and then it just goes downhill from there.
Some people who grew up here never really grew up.
You need to PM me. We need to talk.

Yes, I did, am doing, will always believe in my country, not like your wife, two days after she went to America, she thought she was an American already.
I suppose if I were boxed into a corner and shown to have an IQ of your average gerbil I'd come out with that comment, too.
But the funny thing is that I do not have a Chinese wife.
This is a cheap shot too, don't you think?

What is "liberalism"? Tax and Spend?
Yep, complains anytime a comment is made using solid evidence that liberalism does not work.
As if that's a record.Well it only took you two three posts to turn another thread political. 
I just hate tax and spend solutions to problems, taxing one group in an attempt to provide welfare to another group just encourages people to stay on welfare.
My wife and I were talking about a Chinese restaurant owner she knew that was having problems keeping dishwashers, what the restaurant owner was willing to pay for a dishwasher could not compete with welfare. If welfare was "WorkFare" I suspect that illegal immigrations world be less of a problem, more US residents would be doing the jobs that illegals fill.
If so compare and contrast to the previous admin of No(Low) Tax and Spend. How'd that work out?
Much better than now and in future in the next few years.

Most of you have probably heard that China is dumping billions into building their infrastructure. I saw evidence of this first hand a couple weeks ago on a trip to Shanghai. While looking out the train window, I was memorized by thousands, tens of thousands, and probably well over one hundred thousand workers building a new railway line between Nanjing and Shanghai. On my previous trip a few weeks earlier, there was nothing going on. This time, mile after mile, and row after row of buildings and homes had been demolished.
Bridge supports were being built. Roads, trenches, wiring, and track were being laid. It's clear that China created over 100,000 jobs just in the few hundred miles of this area. I've never before seen a project of such scale and running virtually 7-days a week.
China is trying to keep it population busy by building the infrastructure and much needed public works projects that all can benefit by. Here in the US we have carefully planned rhetoric and are wasting over $3/4 of a trillion dollars. We are seeing the incompentance in this bailout blunder right now. The appointee that is in charge of this massive amount of tax payer debt does not bother to pay his taxes. His qualifications for this most important cabinet post: A person who knows how to cheat the system must know how to run the system. And everyone says China is the most corrupt nation on Earth.
Yeah, it's pretty sad reading the news out of the US these days. All this talk about stimulus packages, and hundreds of billions of dollars being given to a failed auto industry is enough to make anyone ill. Whatever happened to common sense?
I feel quite blessed to be living in China right now, as you don't hear the negativity from these people like you are hearing from the American people. This past weekend, I went out with several of my co-workers. One of the Chinese project managers asked me about the US economy, and I simply replied that I was glad to be living and working in China right now.
Jesse, You are a lucky man!

My wife said, it is common practice for the Chinese members of the family keeping secret of illness from other family members, mainly because they don't want the other family members to worry, especially the parents. They don't want them to worry at all.

As long as you at least eat some oranges you might be able to get thru life that way. I don't understand how anybody could dislike apples. Maybe you just don't like sweet fruit. Have you ever tried a green apple? Come on, you don't like strawberries? Blackberries fresh picked? You don't like mango? Papaya? Oh well, just make sure you get your vitamin C and potassium from oranges.
I don't like apples of any kind. I REALLY hate Strawberries or any berry of any kind. They just gross me out! Mango and Papaya no, hate them too.
Do you like tomatoes? They are fruits.
Really? I do eat tomatoes.
I thought tomatoes was a vegetable.The U.S. Supreme Court settled the controversy on May 10, 1893 by declaring that the tomato is a vegetable. Due to the scientific definition of a fruit, the tomato remains a fruit when not dealing with US tariffs.
So is a Tomato a fruit or a Vegetable?
This is confusing.

No 'Jack in the Box' in your area ? really? yikes ! it's a burger chain, has 'Jumbo Jack' as it's sandwich loss leader.
But I digress - it's da resturant with the guy with da 'ball' head. - is not any in your area ?

John, you are not doing so bad. You like orange juice, watermelon, and tomatoes. Watermelons and tomatoes are not exactly fruits, but they are like fruit. Do you like any other melons?
Maybe your system is on the acidic side. Fruits tend to make your system more acidic, and vegetables tend to make your system more alkaline. That could be why you like the veggies and not the fruit. Stick with the veggies, and don't worry about the fruit. Oh and take the vitamins.
I like the stuff that is in salads like cucumbers, radishes, letuce, etc...
-
I think I'm the opposite. I like most fruits (pineapple being the notable exception) and dislike most vegetables. Is it canned fruits you dislike, or fresh fruits as well? I don't like canned fruits.
Yes, tomatoes are fruits, as are cucumbers (and other gourds), pumpkins, watermelon, eggplants, etc.
I hate Fresh,Canned,mashed,grilled,fried, ect.........
-
You are the first person I ever heard of that hates all fruit. Perhaps you could make smoothies with orange juice then hold your nose and drink it fast.
I like Orange juice, so that would be the same as a smoothie, right?
Smoothies are great - can make with ice cream or milk or **gasp** yogurt... vodka optional, of course.
Start with the output of yer juicer, toss it in a blender, add milk , vodka, etc...
Maybe it's time to watch the Jack LaLaine Infomercial, the next time it's on?
If you want a cheap way of 'testing' - get to a bodega or a latino fresh fruit place, ask em to make you a fresh squeezed something - and add a pinch of raw chili pepper to it during the blend - (it won't burn your mouth, just kills the fruit taste) then see if you like it - thats only 5 bucks to waste, for a test.
If I seem pushy about it, well, sorry - but it's two fold, really -
1. you will live longer, over time and
2. you show her that yer listening to what she wants to do, she will be happy.
It sounds good, but I am wondering about the taste. RAW CHILI pepper?
that does even sound like it would work. Maybe I will try one of those 5 dollar things.Jack LaLaine, isn't he like a 100 now?

It's not Beijing or Shanghai, but my future wife was pretty happy with the market selection on her visit here to Tampa, Florida. Nearby St. Petersburg, Florida (20 miles/30km) and a trip to Orlando, Florida (80 miles/100km) have more Asian markets and places to shop. The nearby beaches, the sunny, warm climate (72 F or 22 C) and plenty of things to do (Disney World and 10 other theme parks are within 70 minutes drive), Kennedy Space Center, Art Museums) make this area a great place to live. The many parks, lakes, ponds, walking and bicycle trails, fresh air and local sea food, vegetables, strawberries oranges and other citrus fruit make this a truly wonderful place to live.
Here are the top 3 markets in Tampa, Florida.

Too many fruits in Florida. -
My house is filled with fruit, we go to the Hong Kong market and she fills the cart half filled with all types of fruit. She eats it all day long. YUK!!
Hope this is the worst of your problems
yea, she just laughs at me all day and night anyway. For some reason she thinks I am funny!

Eating fruits and veggies is eating healthy and eating healthy means increasing the odds that you and your wife will live long lives TOGETHER. I guarantee this is what is uppermost in her mind.
Your right Dave, she tells me that everyday!

Love most fruit, but by the end of the summer in China I was so sick of freaking watermelon after every meal.
Grapefruit is about the only fruit that I consistently avoid.
Grapefruit! YUK!!! that IS one of the worst! I would rather run in front of a train then eat that thing!!! YUKKKKK!!!!
Is watermelon a fruit?
I do like watermelon. -

I like Orange juice, so that would be the same as a smoothie, right?

Hey John, your wife just wants you to eat the fruit for the vitamins and minerals. You know, so that you will be healthy. Just take a multiple vitamin, and tell her it is fruit in a pill
Good idea but my wife is wise to that and believes I should just eat fruit.

Are there any other Satellite options in China? Is there anyway you can tap into like Dishnetwork or Directv?
