There is also a kidnapper who comes here sometimes calling himself The One Who Cares.

OWC is a truly brainwashed, dense-as-a-black-hole, singularity of stupid, blinded by the bullshit true-blue programmie. Was programmed as a kid and now drags them into programs... I think just observing the 'interaction' between us and him would give a good idea of what programs do to people  :razz:

By the way, Three Springs Waygookin.. what is a waygookin?  

A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets.

Me and China would mix about as well as vinegar and baking soda, TSW :razz: thanks for the offer though!

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

I have no resume at all, started college about 2 years ago and Im studying for a science major... not much applicable to "being a cog in a communist machine and teaching english for the peoples republic of china"  :wink:

The public schools are...designed around the assumption that all of the participants are irresponsible and incompetent...The result is the creation of an organization which is incapable of change. Every member of the organization is concerned with keeping his superior happy.

Couple of former staffers drop in on CEDU once in awhile. And there was that whistle blower, Tim something or other, who pushed a pretty impressive publicity campaign after a short stint at Thayer.

Never in the history of any nation has an education system been so on the point of disintegration and decay as the education system in this country...We know that education in this country is as bad as it can be.  We know that it is old-fashioned, irrelevant, and not meaningful.

My boyfriend is from China, and he has been in the states for about 15 years, and he swears that China is not nearly as repressive as Americans think.  

For example, I read in the paper the other day that Disney stuff was banned for the last 40 years.  He says thats just not true, and he always watched Disney movies as a kid.

Shanghai is more modern than New York.  Today, they have a capitalist economy.  

Anyway, communism isn't all bad.  Chinese women were liberated by communism- my BF mom went to college and is a physicist, and the government paid for her education.  Women there don't even take their husbands name when they marry.  The communists also made polygamy illegal.  

My boyfriend went to school 6 days a week, as a child.  Their kids are so much better educated than US kids are.  Indian kids, too.  There's really no comparison.  At the hospital I work at, hardly any of the doctors are American.  You want your kids to have a competitive edge when they enter the workforce?  Have them learn Chinese.

Waygookin-   don't feel bad!  I also spent 6 years in college.  It's called the "extended plan".

Actually the medical system in China is not bad.  My BF is in his 3rd year of internal med. residency- last summer he did one-month rotation in Chinese hospital.  

First, the whole country receives healthcare, courtesy of the gvt.  Everyone has a little card, which gets scanned, and has all their medical info on it- history, meds, ect...  Though this system was probably entatcted because of the huge population, it is far superior to anything we have here.  

Oh, except we have now started electronically tagging bottles of oxycontin (I doubt China does this, or any other country)...not everyone here has healthcare, and most of our medical records are still on paper, but we are now able to electronically track narcotics.  We sure have come a long way.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't say that China is a dangerous place to live, at least not in the city (my BF says there is no danger in the city, but that we should not stray too far into the countryside alone).  

There are many Americans living in and traveling through China.  You shouldn't have any trouble making friends.  

+ BF says the food is so good, and you can eat out for a dollar.  Most Chinese who come to the states hate the food here.  I guess it's probably like that in Koreal also?

Bandit, what do you mean by electronically tracking narcotics?  They just scan the bottle?  Is it like a bar code?
