I might be surprised if you said "Canada" but China....not so much. I suppose they will be some of the only people speaking from experience when they taste something and comment that it "tastes like cardboard."
I'm not surprised with anything about China, their government is all about production and economics. They are so incredibly polluted over their, much of their water is completely toxic from the constant dumping of chemicals/sh*t/poo whatever, their standards of safety are like something from the middle ages. Lead is in everything. My mom's friend brought home these little replicas of the Terracotta Warriors, and I was suspicious because of the color, so I tried to write with them, and they wrote. So, yeah, lead. I'm surprised that street vendors arent trying to sell steamed cellophane, or sauteed thistle, the standards are so lax.
China is like a cult with their country as their god. Information control, behaviour control, all of it. Just look at the way they use their people as commodoties, no inherent value to an individual except for what it contributes to the group, the whole.
Sorry, got me going, I was going to start a thread about China.

beautiful is beautiful, not just new or trendy,,,, Orlando is very pleasing to the eye. I'd say he has more masculine than feminine. Most men who are really beautiful got a little woman to 'em, like David Beckham for instance. Just free your mind and your androgyny.
I think some beautiful girls are a little masculine, Gisele Bundchen for instance. -

P.S. to Mincan...I meant to write this to you, but that thread disappeared. Probably because I was being a little to profound, that can happen sometimes when my synapse fires once annually. Anyways, so you didn't get into A college??? I haven't been to college, and by gum I will get the GVT to pay for it. That said, to remind you you are young, there are colleges that are terrific where you just enroll and don't have to go through a thorough examination by who knows who. Einstein didn't even finish college!! Neither did Gates, neither one I suppose had potential to be successful or intelligent. Oh wait, everyone has a different experience.
Now, just keep trying, you'll get accepted, and if your not, just start your own record label, then of course if you start a record label you must start a clothing line, and naturally if you are dressing people, you must also perfume them with 70% alcohol by volume eau de toilette. Then you'll get your HONORARY degree from NYU and be golden. You'll have a degree and not even have had to spend an hour of your time dissecting the characters of the haunting novella "Beloved." It's kinda like if you give a mouse a cookie, but more lucrative. Trust me, I'm part Irish.
In the immortal words of Thom Yorke "Personally in my head, I understand the sounds of big white shipping metals, all glass and white and chrome and stuff." And you can take that to the bank. -

I'm a mix between Bruce Valanche and Roseanne Barr. That's right, all of you who thought you were the hottest of them all just had all your deluded little fantasies wither...all that woefully misguided self-esteem just burst into flames. I know it's rough, but chin up, people weren't looking at you anyways. They were looking at ME. Because I'm hot enough to be on Hollywood Squares, OR have my very own sitcom. But I choose instead to arbitrate multilateral negotiations to open more markets for the indigenous downtrodden peoples of Peru. And I breed ferrets. That's what real beauty is, taking care of the poor and the ferrets. (smile) *ting*

Orlando Bloom *good Lord, lovely british accent and outrageously good looks..yum yum chocolate chip, honey dip, let me get some a dat...
Rodrigo Santoro *he makes my busoms heave? Is that how they put it in romantic novels?
Gabriel Aubry *The only blondie on my list. He's got the face Sculptors labored to create. He's goooooorrrrrgeous.

purps,
if you put it on the grass, the grass will die!! I was just swimming in ours, you just inflate the top ring. Alas, ours is deflated due to a cat jumping up on it and scratching it a couple years back. The surface must be flat, ours is just on the gravel. Make sure to put chlorine in it otherwise it will get slimy...fast! -

Dateline predators will NOT be prosecuted
by candidlynuts intexas da won't prosecute any pedophiles nabbed in nbc 'predator' showthursday, june 28, 2007. .
murphy, texas a sting in which police teamed up with "dateline nbc" to catch online pedophiles was supposed to send a flinty-eyed, texas-style warning about this dallas suburb: don't mess with murphy.. instead, it has turned into a fiasco.. one of the 25 men caught in the sting a prosecutor from a neighboring county committed suicide when police came to arrest him.
the murphy city manager who approved the operation lost his job in the ensuing furor.. and the district attorney is refusing to prosecute any of the men, saying many of the cases were tainted by the involvement of amateurs.. "certainly these people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but the fact that this was all done for television cameras raises some questions," said mayor bret baldwin.. it is the first time in nine "dateline nbc: to catch a predator" stings across the country in the past year and a half that prosecutors did not pursue charges.. "dateline" has made prime-time entertainment out of contacting would-be child molesters over the internet, luring them to a meeting place, and videotaping their humiliating confrontations with reporter chris hansen.. (story continues below).

I wouldn't use the word "taboo" to describe the "thrill" of soliciting a minor. I would describe it as evil. Taboo is more of a word to describe topics that are sensitive in a way that isn't complete depravity. Like it was taboo to talk about sex, now it isn't. Sexual abuse isn't sex, it's violence and violently evil. The only thing that a person shouldn't feel like they ought not to touch on the subject is the people who've been abused and need to seek help and justice.
I disagree completely that people are universally perverts. None of my family or friends are perverts in the slightest degree. It's a choice.
Taboo is a horrid word for child torture, usually taboo's are things that eventually are broken and we all breathe a sigh of a relief that we can finally practice the formerly "taboo" behaviour or talk about it. If taboo were a good word to describe it, that would mean that it was just an embarassing private thing to bring into the public. It's not embarrassing, it's vile.
