| 2009/4/21-23 [Politics/Foreign/MiddleEast/Israel] UID:52884 Activity:kinda low | 4/20 Ok, I am not a Jew hater. In fact, most of my so-called "white"
friends turned out to be Jews. And I am fortunate to have
opportunity to work with whole bunch Israelis and working with them
has been an absolute pleasure. HOWEVER, I just failed to understand
why people got offended by the speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In my
relatively neutral point of view (I am an Asian), most of what he

and then you only need a couple of destroyers to perform

there. For example, everything has a 3-tier pricing. If you're
a Caucasian, you get a special bi-ren price. If you're an outsider
like Taiwanese, Singaporean, Mayasian, etc, you get a special
hua-chiaw price. If you're a mainlander, you get the original
price. There are exceptions of course (e.g. Caucasian who speaks

\_ Dated a TAIWANESE Republican. Great sex, but some side effects.
Always thinks she's right. Very stubborn. She's never wrong, and
you're always wrong. Materialistic. Always talks about money.
Complains about job all the time. Wants more money. Plays stocks
a lot. Talks about stocks all the time. Great sex. Always talks

"If the Chinese are wrong to hold on to their province of
Tibet, then Lincoln was wrong to insist that the South stay in

Is there any difference between Mainland China and Taiwan? Thanks.

\_ Chinese New Year Day Off!
