Guest ShaQuaNew Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Given the ongoing cyclical debate about bringing Western methods and ideology, or however it's done in the West to China, I thought it might be interesting to see how our members complete the following sentence. Please try to confine your response to no more than a short sentence or two. Here's the question: "China needs to learn more Western ways of doing things, like:" China needs to learn more Western ways of doing things like, not letting people drive on the sidewalk. Then, just to be fair, America needs to learn more Chinese ways of doing things like: America needs to learn more Chinese ways of doing things like, keeping their nose out of other countries politics and taking care of their own people....

Chinese need to learn more Western ways of doing things like, including the s trap in plumbing to create a liquid block to rising sewer odors. Americans need to learn more ways of doing things like wasting less such as carrying collapsable utensils to reduce waste Link to comment

Americans need to learn more ways of doing things like wasting less such as carrying collapsable utensils to reduce waste Man, don't you know it. Seems like a very simple and effective idea; I mean putting an s-curve in the pipe to keep the sewer gas from coming in. We often keep our bathroom window open....

Richard & Li Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 China could learn from America, mattress technology. America could learn from China, criminal justice. BTW: The S trap has my vote for the best idea so far. Link to comment

carl.hops Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) China, can learn a bit of pedestrian right of way (sorry I'm from Portland) **EDIT** Lao Po doesn't agree, because there are many many Chinese compared to america walking around, so I nix what I said and change it to " China, can learn a bit of pedestrian right of way for Lao Wai" America, can learn to relax and enjoy family life instead of neglecting it for work Edited January 26, 2009 by carl.hops (see edit history) Link to comment

IllinoisDave Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 China could learn from America: How to form AND maintain a damn queue!
