  by Simon in

  david blaine has been in his box for two weeks now.

  during that time it's become a daily event for people to go and throw eggs and other food at the box, people have also fired golf-balls at him and other objects and someone has even tried to cut the cables holding the box from the crane.

  people have also tried to shine lasers into his eyes and othe 'clever' tricks.. it's disgusting but typical of the yobbish, mindless behavior that is becoming too common in the uk.. i'm ashamed to be british.

  Same type of thing happens here.....mindless behavior is everywhere.

  I see a lot of hopelessness and cynicism now. Are you actually happier now than when you were a Jehovah's Witness?

  Yes.... I am not hopeless. Though I am cynical. I was cynical as a witness.....armageddon and 1975 and all.....

  finished my trip to interview the guys that came back from the war...some of the interviews were pretty intense.

  most of these guys came back in mid july so most of their comments about what's going on in iraq are dated...but, they said as a whole the iraqis were glad we took out saddam.. .

  i met and interviewed a chaplain assistant with three confirmed kills...makes me take my job a bit more seriously.. say "welcome home"

  More from Bush on Saddam's lack of involvement on Sept. 11th

  sept. 18 president bush took the unusual step of denying categorically that his administration has evidence that connects saddam hussein with the attacks of sept. 11, 2001. weve had no evidence that saddam hussein was involved with september the 11th, bush said.

  but critics say the damage is already done and that the administration deliberately kept the theory alive.

  I'm just so frustrated with the way they imply things and then say..."We never actually said that." Damn beaurocrats!!!

  Az, they all lie....honesty and politics don't go together. Talking out of both sides of their mouths is how they get elected and how they remain in office. Hence, GW won't be in office much longer. He is not a master of it.

  It is serious. Problem is all we can do is vote. Very few of us are prepared to do that....That is a major problem. Sorry, I did not mean to insult you. I apologize.

  China 'Open-Crotch Pants' Face Extinction Mon Sep 15, 2:19 PM ET By AUDRA ANG, Associated Press Writer BEIJING - With a look of intense concentration on his face, 21-month-old Zhang Xueyang explores the playground, ducking under swings and slides as fast as his legs can carry him. His head is shaved. His red-and-yellow T-shirt proclaims "Cute Girl!" His loose, white-cotton shorts are grimy with dirt. Suddenly, he stops in mid-stride and squats, the seam of his pants parting smoothly to allow a stream of urine to pool onto the concrete. "Good boy!" his 25-year-old mother, Wu Chunhua, shouts encouragingly as he speeds back to play. The startlingly revealing "kaidangku" (literally "open-crotch pants") have made such posterior peek-a-boo a common sight in China for decades — rain, shine or, in a specially padded form, snow. The principle is clear: no-fuss waste disposal. They're split down the middle — in front and back — and provide what many parents say is maximum convenience with minimum coverage. But in recent years, with China's experiment in capitalism creating a growing middle class, rising incomes and more sophisticated lifestyles have pushed many parents, particularly those in big cities, toward disposable diapers. While the origins of the slit pants are murky, they have been around at least since the establishment of communist China in 1949. In the late 1970s, when Mao-suit grays and dark blues were the norm for adults, children's vividly hued kaidangku were the only splashes of color on Beijing's drab streets. But in Beijing these days, bare baby bottoms are an increasingly rare sight — even on sultry summer afternoons, when kaidangku used to be almost a uniform for toddlers. "They're so uncivilized," says Su Shaojuan, a cashier from the southern city of Guangzhou who has a 2 1/2-year-old son. "People nowadays have more money, so they use diapers. It's more convenient and healthier for the child and parents." Part of it is undoubtedly purely hygienic, a byproduct of the Chinese government's years long effort to spruce up its urban areas and, it says, steer people away from unclean practices. Many cities have outlawed indiscriminate garbage dumping, public urination by adults and street spitting. And a country that's inviting the world in for the Olympics in 2008 hardly wants visitors to see public spaces used as toilets. Zhao Zhongxin, a professor at Beijing Normal University's Education Science Research Institute, goes even further: The split pants, he says, have become a social indicator of sorts. "Children in the cities do not wear kaidangku anymore. But children in the countryside still do," Zhao says. "This is the difference between the minds and living conditions of rural people and urban people." "In the past, people did not have a strong sense of hygiene," he says. "Now parents are usually very busy and do not have time to help the children to relieve themselves." Diaper sales have risen sharply in China in recent years, says Yvonne Pei, a Guangzhou-based spokeswoman for Procter & Gamble. Pei says sales of Pampers have grown by 50 percent every year since 1999. The two main reasons she cites: "Economic development and education level." At a branch of the Jingkelong supermarket chain in Beijing, hundreds of multihued diaper packages are piled atop each other in one aisle and brightly patterned samples are on display. Prices range from about $1.80 for a package of 20, to $12 for 60. "They're more popular in winter because it's too hot in summer," says a sales assistant who would give only her family name, Li. "They may not be as comfortable as kaidangku, but the standard of life is rising and sales are rising with it." Yu Min, who has a 2-month-old daughter, sees the benefits of both — convenience vs. cost. "But I use mostly diapers for convenience," says the 32-year-old from the southern coastal city of Xiamen. At the New Mommy Post-Delivery Care Center in Beijing, new mothers are advised to use diapers regardless of cost, says Zhang Yue, head nurse of the facility. "They're cleaner, healthier and disposable," Zhang says. More than 90 percent of the mothers use diapers, she said. But Wu, whose son was playing at the Beijing park, remains unconvinced. "Even if people don't think it looks good, that's a minority opinion," she says. "This is a Chinese tradition."
