[Cliffy]

Is it great or does she just have a properly fitting bra?

Well, she thinks she does, so that is all that matters.

Sarah thinks Bra Sale is a country in South America

That's prolly cause at her age, her rack has gone south of the border.

Wonder how Palin would have handled Kim?

I wasn't sure she was totally sober in that piece.

 

[damngrumpy]

She is a real life space cadet

 

[petros]

Yop, but she is a hacky mam. Fer sure.

 

[Nuggler]

Public sector pays better.

Them pesky unions at it again ?

 

[petros]

GEICO is Union.

Did you know media is Union? How can you trust a Union run media? You'll never see a TV show or movie that slams Unions because they are made by Unions.

Azzholes in Unions slamming Unions?

Wanna bet the slamming is a benefit rather than a hindrance?

We can make funny jokes about N. Korea and their leaders but I think we should take them
as the serious threat they are. I don't know how many nuclear weapons they have but they've
proven they can build them. Would China go to war in defense of N.Korea? I don't know but
N.K. is probably the most dangerous place in the world right now.

She can't see a Seoul from her house.

But can Tina Fey?

Well if you listened to NPR last night the NK "experts" said at this point we need to give Kim Jong Il a way to save face. They suggested we assist them with economic measures. In other words once again giving into the NK government and their standard blackmailing strategy. As long as we keep propping up their government they won't go bonkers. Geez.

 

[Spade]

But can Tina Fey?

Maybe not Seoul, but certainly a Second City.

Don't get me wrong Eagle. The N.Koreans should get nothing until they back off the stupid, aggressive, course they are on.
Kim Jong can bluster all he wants, and he can save his own damn face.

Oh I was just adding to the thread. This is typical NK strategy. Even when they were going through a famine that rivaled any famine in Africa do they ask for help?

Heck no!

"You better F*ing Feed us or we will start nuking everyone!"

Let them bluster and if they step up they're finished.

 

[lone wolf]

He can always ride Rodman off into the sunset....


...oh wait! That's in China....

 

[petros]

N Korea's nukes are NO THREAT AT ALL. To bomb Seoul, they'd literally have to drive it there by truck even if they did have a missle capable.

I think the NKs will be restrained before any actual damage is done. I also think we in the enlightened west are being fed the usual rubbish for news. Al the oil to run China and N Korea and the rest of the east must come through the Caspian through to the India Ocean.

You didn't finish them then you won't finish them this time. Famine starts with US aid. Nobody blusters like that old pervert Uncle Sham.

Give him a way to save face? Human rights for free trade? Maybe we could agree behind closed doors that we'll give free trade for human rights in NK, and publicly keep our mouths shut while they gloat about how they strong armed us into such an agreement? I could go with that.

I say we stop giving food as governments and simply allow NGOs to do what they want. If NK turns down their help, tough. All we should offer is free trade, and nothing but.

How many rights demonstrations turned into riots in China last year?

Would getting together and sending them a virtual warm hug and pat on the back for fighting opression make everyone here feel better about themselves?

Only the Chinese people can give the Chinese people rights, we can't but they are starting to rise up and go for it.

10's of thousand would be a reasonable guess on violent riots. Not limited to Human Rights-

Lots are over worker's rights and safety, land living conditions etc.

Protests and Demonstrations Numbers in China

The number of reported "mass incidents" rose from 8,700 in 1993 to more than 90,000 in 2006, according to the Chinese Police Academy. There were about 180,000 in 2010, according to Sun Liping, a Tsinghua University sociologist. According to the New York Times authorities recorded 127,000 so-called mass incidents in 2010 but most were too small to gain wide notice. According to figures from the China Academy of Social Sciences fights over land account for 65 percent of rural “mass conflicts” and is also a serious problem in cities.

The Guardian reported: "To some extent, the exponential increase is because of improved reporting of incidents that once would have been buried by the state press. Nowadays, the minute a window is smashed, somebody will whip out a cellphone camera and shoot a video that quickly is posted on a blog. The surge also reflects a public that is better informed and more active in seeking redress for grievances. [Source: The Guardian, December 23, 2011]

According to official statistics, there were 74,000 mass incidents in 2004 with a total of 3.7 million citizens taking part. In 2005, the number of mass incidents with at least 15 participants totaled 87,000. more than 200 a day, involving over four million Chinese. They included protests over unpaid wages, taxes, lay offs, land seizures, factory closings, poor working conditions, environmental damages, corruption, misuse of funds, ethnic tensions, use of natural resources, forced immigration and police abuse. Some of them have been quite large and violent. In addition to the mass incidents, lone individuals are increasingly adding to protest incidents.

China saw almost 90,000 such “mass incidents” of riots, protests, mass petitions and other acts of unrest in 2009, according to a 2011 study by two scholars from Nankai University in north China. Some estimates go even higher. That is an increase from 2007, when China had over 80,000 mass incidents, up from over 60,000 in 2006, according to an earlier report from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. There were 120,000 mass incidents in 2008, according to China’s Public Security Ministry.[Source: AFP, August 13, 2011]

The number of mass incidents rose from 10,000 with 730,000 participants in 1994 to 74,000 with 3.8 million participants in 2004. In 2000, there were about 40,000 protests, including 230 incidents of mobs laying siege to Communist Party offices in 82 cities, resulting in 5,500 casualties. In 2003 the government admitted to 58,000 incidents. The number of "incidents” was around 23,000 in 2006.
