Suppose she had said , " My God and my upbringing does not recognize Jews, they have no place in my world or the world I wish to live in ?"
Suppose she said that " Islam is the root of all that is evil in the world today and must be wiped out ? "
Supposed she said that the millions dying in Darfur, from ethnic cleansing, starvation and civil war was " My God's way of eliminating the unneeded and unwanted from the civilized world? "
Should she still be able to use her public stage to spew hate and racism as " It's just my opinion, and I have a right " Or is it just alright because it was " only gay people"

Perhaps YOU should stop being hateful and narrow minded and actually pay attention to what she actually said:
Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage, and you know what, in my country and in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman.

She shares her beliefs with the vast majority of Americans. Gays need to get over the fact that they are a minority, and stop expecting the rest of the world to bend to their wishes.
At the risk of turning this into a political debate that has no place on XDA, I will say this and then I promise ( Mods ) to shut up and let sleeping dogs lie.
Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose if black people should be able to use the same water fountains as white people. We live in a land that you can choose an all white school or an integrated school., and you know what, in my country and in my family I think that water fountains should be white only and black only.

Yes it's lame, because what purpose does it serve now? It gives a legitimate excuse to drink excessively party till the break of dawn and light **** on fire. So yes it's original purpose/intent was to honor our independence, but today in this society, it means nothing even remotely relevant to the original meaning to most of the new generations.

Well I wanna talk about the stupidity of American "football".
You see, most of the time, American "football" is being thrown and then held with the hand, and only perhaps 3% of the time it is being kicked.
On top of that the "ball" is not round. Ask any child to draw a ball and the poor child will be hard pressed (or an American idiot) to draw something that resembles that egg.
Thirdly, there is that issue of machismo that the Americans like to push. Yeah, you run around bashing people in a full contact sport. Ever heard of rugby? Those guys only wear groin protectors and tooth protectors. Not a padding more.
Suck it, American "Football"!
/This does not, in any way, bash Americans, only their version of football
//The rest of the world would like the word football back.
///Call it Handegg if you want to, otherwise you are just as asinine with your language as the Brits, who like to add an "o" in colour. (Yes, I'm Brit Eng educated. Blame the basterds who conquered us)

The game of football is any of several similar team sports, of similar origins which involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot in an attempt to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer". Unqualified, the word football applies to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears, including American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby league, rugby union and other related games. These variations are known as "codes."

Ok, so I need some opinions here...We had a discussion at work today where someone said that they pay you TO live in Alaska but someone else said they pay you BECAUSE you live there...And then the first person said that there's no difference in "Because" and "To"...
So, I will give you some info from Wikipedia and you let me know which one yall think is correct...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska
"Starting in 1982, dividends from the fund's annual growth have been paid out each year to eligible Alaskans, ranging from an initial $1,000.00 in 1982 (equal to three years' payout, as the distribution of payments was held up in a lawsuit over the distribution scheme) to $3,269.00 in 2008 (which included a one-time $1,200.00 "Resource Rebate"). Every year, the state legislature takes out 8 percent from the earnings, puts 3 percent back into the principal for inflation proofing, and the remaining 5 percent is distributed to all qualifying Alaskans. To qualify for the Permanent Fund Dividend, one must have lived in the state for a minimum of 12 months, maintain constant residency subject to allowable absences, and not be subject to court judgments or criminal convictions which fall under various disqualifying classifications or may subject the payment amount to civil garnishment."
'Because' is correct, if you qualify of course. 'To' suggests paying people to move there, in which case under the rules they wouldn't qualify anyway having not been a resident.
I want to live in Alaska. It is the most most beautiful corner of the world. Anybody remember the series 'Northern Exposure'?. Best setting for a TV show ever.
The problem with this idea is that you aren't the first one to have it. There are a ****ton of government leaches living in alaska. It also has the highest percentage of rapes and pedophilia per capita of any other state.

I love Alaska, I have been there many times. But I currently live in Washington state, where Northern Exposure was filmed.
And the Permanent Resident Dividend Fund is just for the people that live there, as previously stated. The best part of Alaska (besides the fishing and hunting) is how backwards the whole state still is. They have open carry laws (meaning no permits needed to carry a firearm) and it is still common for people in the winter to leave their vehicles running while they grocery shop. Nobody steals them.

And the Permanent Resident Dividend Fund is just for the people that live there, as previously stated. The best part of Alaska (besides the fishing and hunting) is how backwards the whole state still is. They have open carry laws (meaning no permits needed to carry a firearm) and it is still common for people in the winter to leave their vehicles running while they grocery shop. Nobody steals them.

Where should i build my log cabin? (Think 'Grizzly Adams' if you're old enough). It has to be near a fresh water river or lake and far enough into the wilderness so that i never have to encounter another person for the rest of my days.
No internet, no phone, just a knife, gun and a blissful hunter/gatherer life.

You want to see some SERIOUS spiders, you should be around those freakin Camel Spiders in Iraq. GAWD! Ya, I know everyone's seen the pics of them on the interwebs. But when I was there they scared the hell out of me, cuz they are really, really freakin fast. Walking a post at night, you would see a good sized shadow "flying" across the ground. Saw one once, run up another Marine's leg, and before he even knew it was on him, it was in between his shoulder blades, whoa!

Haha, so this is an honest question.
Can I say "cheers" at the end of an email/post/or whatever, even if I'm not from the UK or Australia/New Zealand?
Or will people from around those parts judge me...? LOL.
I say yes! It can be used as 'Thank you' or 'Toast your health'.
Others could be Slante or even Bottoms Up, (as long as the person you're talking to isn't likely to think you're giving them an order).

My good chap, if there's anything worth doing, it's worth doing right. And if there's anything worth doing, then it should be speaking the Queen's English like it should be spoken, not like some buffoon that can barely utter a simple sentence without butchering grammar, spelling and structure.
Cheers.

You're Canadian, as part of the British Commonwealth of course you can say "Cheers" in fact you should use it as often as possible, along with "crickey" "crivens" and "bloody"
In return we will fit "Son of a gun" into as many conversations as possible (my great uncle moved to Canada and it did him the world of good, at 86 he had a heart attack so they fitted a pacemaker but I think they set it to turbo! He came over when he was 91, didn't look a day over 61, and didn't act a day over 21! Though all Canadian women I've met have been nutty as a fruitcake!)
I remember trading some stock through a US company, and the chap I was speaking with, from Texas I think, gingerly said "Cheers" at the end of the conversation, so it's not true that all Americans don't speak English

My cousin in Canada is probably as 'nutty' as you suggest, but had the good sense to leave the UK, marry a developers son and now lives in a bespoke, hand-crafted and beautiful home on the side of a mountain that they own, overlooking an amazing lake and away from the urban rat-race! I take the mickey out of her accent but to be honest, she pwned me, big-time!
(Her brother btw is the town doctor in a nice rural village where he keeps his own hours, goes skiing whenever he feels like it, has a home provided by the state, and whenever he meets one of the townsfolk in the street they invite him to dinner!
Am i jealous though....?
You betcha ass i am! Good luck to them them though they deserve it all!*
*At least i speak English proper. Ahem, proper English..Cough, errr, the Queen English...? (Let me know when i get it right...)

Haha, Juzz, it's funny because I do say "eh" a lot. Although I've never, ever, heard someone say "aboot". I've always wondered where that rumor ever came from... Nobody says it. Haha.

That's weird, I just stumbled on an article a couple days ago about the study of accents and their development (now I wish I saved that link). Apparently the current british accent didn't evolve into what we know of it now until after the american revolution. So the american accent is how the british spoke before that change...
No! Because Apple has a patent on the British and won't allow them to patent words. But Apple did patent "cheers".

My dad showed me these pictures and stories this morning, I thought it was very interesting. Nobody knows why China is building these gigantic empty cities. They aren't just building them in China either, one in Africa is designed to hold up to a half million people and features 750 eight-story apartment buildings, 12 schools and more than 100 retail units. This one ghost city cost $3.5 billion and covers 12,355 acres. Apparently China is building 20 of these cities a year, and nobody really knows why.

Some speculation that I have read is that China has always been known to be very patient, and that they dont plan by the year or decade but by the generation. Apparently they are told that if they work hard their grandchildren will reap the benefits of their labor. Could they be planning on lifting the one child ban? If so, speculation suggest their population could quadruple in one generation. But why cities in Africa? This is all new to me and very confusing. Anybody else seen this or want to speculate?

Why would the thread be closed? This is an off topic discussion of the ghost cities with hopefully some critical thinking and speculation as to their purpose. Where I live people are so ethnocentric that nobody has even heard of them, I was hoping by asking a broad audience that maybe someone has heard something that I haven't. I think its very interesting. If threads about "rooting toasters" and "taking over Australia" can stay open I dont see why a serious thread with plenty of potential for discussion should be closed. Besides this IS off topic, I was told by mods that just about anything goes here with the exception of the F word.
Also those are Cyclopes, or mutants, but not aliens. Haven't you seen Futurama? lol.

I'm thinking China wants to show to the world they have the workforce to build something great, and these cities would detract from the farm lands and poverty in China. One day some one might move in there.
this reminds me of a city built near the 38th parallel in North Korea. It was built to looks lik another city there, but its empty and they have speakers announcing "good" propaganda loud enough for the South Koreans to hear on the border.
I thought about these and posted when I saw the pictures of the city in the images thread. But that turned out to be an old Russian Ghetto.
Speculation of these ghost cities is widespread. I do know one thing, the massive building campaign in the past has caused a shortage of both concrete and steel world wide.
A few winters ago, steel was so crazy in price that some factories would not take and order at a specified price. They would take the order and quote a price to the customer when the product was available to ship. This was in winter stoves.
Like I said there are several theories for these buildings. Places for people to move off the farms.
Personally I think they are for us Americans. China is going to call in the debt that we owe them and we citizens will have to go into indentured servitude. LOL J/K.... Really Obama has sold many citizens to China as part of the New World Order.
Actually, the most prevalent theory is that China has so much extra cash they are simply investing in infrastructure. They can always find occupants. There are billions of those little ****ers over there.
And it wouldn't be the first time a country built buildings without actual occupants. Saudi Arabia built the Khobar Towers complex for housing of the Bedouins. The tent people would not move in to them. Rumor has it they didn't like living below someone else. A whole cultural thing having to do with the unclenliness of the bottom of feet. May be bull****. Don't know. But they do have a feet thing in that part of the world. And the apartment complexes were gorgeous. Marble everywhere. I lived in one for several months when the complexes were used for housing the US military during Desert Storm.

Interesting. But they sure ain't building 'em for nothing. Might have something to do with power plants(building cities for workers, just like Chernobyl), or just new cities that will be "opened" later.
E: 85Gallon made a good point. Maybe they are investing money in physical structures, since money's price is decreasing all the time, but estates prices aren't...

I agree that the cities could be a good investment for them. I've also been reading that China is profiting by extracting natural resources from these lands and shipping them back home. And also that by building in these other countries, China is also nurturing better relationships with other governments and their citizens in the process and providing jobs. China looks to be stepping it up to (if they aren't already) become a/the world power.
Obviously they're for shelter after the aliens wipe out all inhabited cities. The Chinese knew all along... :silly:

I was thinking it's a shelter for the time when The Virus is unleashed, and zombies are everywhere. Now there are "chosen ones" that will live on those cities all around China, and after every living person is dead, they will start reproducing, and China will conquer the earth, and become the real super power. Of course the Virus is created by Chinese government.

china wants to unleash horror to the world through Apple's Sh*t
all ipads, iphones, ipods and all ish*ts will kill all humans!!!!
most of apple's products are produced by china, they knew it all along!
and the safest place on earth would be china
So, after reading up on the subject a little. I wonder if it's to create jobs and foreign (trade) relations since at least one of these "cities" has been built on the African Continent??
Whatever the reason, these "ghost cities" are fascinating.
