See post #37 -- two birds with one stone.
Chinese men will solve the male/female imbalance by mail ordering western and east Indian brides. My bet they will enjoy the company of the latter rather than the former when the box arrives.
Okay, I'll bite: what is or are lebensraum? I would guess that it is the German word for ladies, but there are many, many people here more knowledgable than I am about this stuff.
We're not all National Review subscribers, soooo..., we couldn't read your post. (and we all love Steyn!)
Here's a good link on it:
Looks like St. Q hit Abuse.
I know damn well I posted this as a full article.
check your FRmail
Thanks! Sometimes Steyn's command of all the nuances of language is so vast, even I (not generally considered a slouch at communication) am awestruck.
As to the emptiness, it might explain the astonishing growth of Christianity there, even in the face of prosecution. Most people need to believe in something. I think the impact of Christianity in China's future may be the wild card.
If I had to guess I'd say that was John Kenneth Galbraith.
Hope you enjoyed the Steyn article. I won't be posting another.
Lebensraum the German word for living space or room to live it was one of the excuses used by a certain nasty former Austrian army corporal to justify starting WWII.
Thats it. Thank you.
??????
I'll drop you a FRmail when I get a minute.
Oh yeah? Check out this.
Some stuff is so bizarre that
I'm too stunned to laugh:
"We have mentioned that the US Military revolted against Bush during the vacation month of August 2003, removing the 'football' from his control, the nuclear codes, and relaying that he was no longer considered their Commander-in-Chief. Gore, as the legitimately elected Commander-in-Chief, was whom they were reporting to, in the interim. All branches of the US Military except the Navy were so inclined, the Navy with their nuclear submarines and control of time keeping and observatories remaining loyal. Thus, we recently had an admiral assigned to NORTHCOM, the military arm of Homeland Security for defense of the entire North American Continent. We have also mentioned that recently the Navy was signaling a switch, the military altogether in revolt against the Bush cabal. Bush was not invited to go to NORTHCOM for the exercises during the busy weekend when Rita was slamming the coast and VP Cheney was in surgery, he was taken there, under arrest. The unmistakable change in his visage after being released a clue to what occurred. Scared, unable to smile. Wearing the same shirt for days, even when appearing in public. Cowed, brought to heel. What happened at NORTHCOM?"
ZetaTalk: Bush Counter-Coup
"By the time 2010 rolls around you're going to have 50,000,000-75,000,000 Chinese men aged 25-35 who will be facing the realization that they have nearly zero prospect of ever getting married."
Nothing like polyandry to raise the status of women in China.
I'm practically speechless.
me too! We have a Russian couple just moved in a few houses down. They have lived in different parts of Europe for the past several years. I can always count on the wife to parrot the latest socialist or Global Warming talking points.
