We've already been ragging on Chinese ghost cities for a while, so ghost railways and shipping ports aren't that hard to accept.

I was talking to a guy yesterday who dropped "USSR had 5 year plans, China has 500 year plans" and I had to work real hard to keep from asking how poisoning their own farmland fits into that.

Sean Penn thinks this thread should be closed down, I think:

quote:

In the battle within Bob’s brain, media sources created a chaos of overload. A marketed, manipulated assault on retention. History books did the same. All heirs to Herodotus.16 The Western developed world, considered so rich in pride and possibility, more often than not kills beautiful things in the human heart. Pride, he believed a pleasure better suited to Orientals and peasants than to those of the West, who’d come to so commonly detach love from infinity, while ubiquitously clinging with cowardice to the fearful fabricated prides and prejudices of yesteryear. How is it possible for a white American to calculate positive or negative impacts on Middle Eastern matters? One could either passively advocate medievalism and intellectual poverty or at best bow to moderate governments that tolerate a measure of both. The only remaining option: intervention. There didn’t seem much room to maneuver in the cradle of civilization, and our senses now so systematically suppose savagery. Hence, Orientalism17 is most probably a topic best observed by Orientals.

I guess I was being too obscure. Chinese girls in university are crammed in dorms with 3-7 other girls and share everything and see each other naked and tend to develop crushes on each other or other girls that help them out, etc. I know another goon has mentioned this. Most of the women I have talked to have that fond memory of a girl-crush from university.

Chaoshan Girl is still in love with her university crush, and she sees her at least once a week since they are both Chaoshan people and work in Shenzhen. I'm always joking about it. When her girl broke up with her boyfriend (that was a typical Chaoshan guy and having two girlfriends at once and rubbing it in her face and she was okay with it), I prodded to CG to go stake her claim and get some action, and she worried the girl would not understand and tell everyone they knew. However, if she we able to have her a girlfriend, she would.

quote:

David Simon, the Korean Basketball League’s leading scorer this season with 25.7 points per game for Anyang KGC, is 6-foot-9. But KBL officials, trying to shake up a game that’s stagnating in attendance and ratings, have made the curious decision to restrict the height of foreign-born players to no more than two meters, or about six feet, six inches. Simon, unfortunately, is out of luck.

...

It’s worth noting that the ban doesn’t apply to Korean-born players, so 7-foot-3 Ha Seung-jin gets a pass. Each team can have two foreign players, one of whom can’t be taller than 6-6, the other, no taller than 6 feet.

American basketball player banned in Korean league because he's too tall

Why do people always try to act like the ancient Greeks started a western versus orient pattern that corresponds to modern ones.
The ancient Greeks didn't just think the east were barbarians, they thought literally everyone around them in every single direction was a barbarian.

I think that was me about 2 threads ago. My wife had a girl or two crush on her really hard in her dorm, and occasionally came back to the room to find some of her roommates lezzing out under the sheets. Apparently shower time was a free-for-all grope-fest that was akin to 70's women's prison movies.
