http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/china.50/asian.superpower/three.gorges/

The Three Gorges Dam is a topic I want to discuss. How would you feel if you were a farmer along the Yangtze River?

How about a Chinese citizen in the flood plain of the Yangtze River?

A city-dwelling citizen?

I would like to hear your opinions.

Is a brand name beach cruiser that much better than one from Walmart?

February 8, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Question by kkwongusc: Is a brand name beach cruiser that much better than one from Walmart?
I want to get a beach cruiser and have been looking at brand name ones like Electra, Nirve etc. I noticed that they have beach cruisers at Walmart which appeared very similar and weighed about the same. Heck they’re all made in China. I was just wondering whether the name brand ones are necessarily better at 2-3 times the price of the Walmart cheepies. This especially since I’m using it for flat pavement cruising.

Best answer:

Answer by awaken_now
Go for the Walmart version.
The pavement makes it an easy choice.
Get the extended warranty if available and be smart with the rust protection.

Q&A: Where is a good place to go on vacation?

February 7, 2012 / / 5 Comments

Question by psychosolodiver: Where is a good place to go on vacation?
I want to go on vacation, but can’t decide. I am single, so I want to get lucky. I also like diving, cage fighting and adventure. I have ruled out Compton, Somalia, Libya and Afghanistan due to extreme danger.

I am seriously thinking about going to North Korea, but I hear it’s tough for an American to get a visa without bribing the embassy in China.

Maybe Northern Iraq?

Antarctica is too expensive.

Any ideas? Please give me some good ideas! No cruises! They’re too boring.

The system is perfect, the flaw is human. Discuss in a philosophical aspects.?

February 4, 2012 / / 5 Comments

Question by lakaria_2000: The system is perfect, the flaw is human. Discuss in a philosophical aspects.?
Every legal system, government system, ideal or religion can be perfect however the people who implementing it or in control is the one who is flaw. E.g. communism, it a perfect system if the one who is in control really work for the society however look what happen to Russia and China, a group of selfish people exploiting the pooor. Religion, if use for the better of society, can save millions of souls however if use for the worse like incitment of religious war could cause death of millions too. Too many religious leader involve in politic that they should not such as the Pope and the Buddhism leader in Taiwan. Whatever perfect ideals, religion, system will always be tinted as the human who use them is flaw themselves already.
This is show in the movie of Minority Report by Tom Cruise and in real life of how religion can be misuse, ideal can be misuse, law can be misuse etc.
Some answer I got is unsatisfactory, if you cannot answer my question please kindly do not attempt to reply
I start to get some real good answer, thanks and hope to get more.

Answer by tkquestion
The system is perfect, the flaw is human.

This is a flawed statement in my opinion. The system exists in the human society and to serve/better human lives. If the system didn’t anticipate and incorporate human variables, how can it be called a perfect system?

A perfect system must be resilient enough to anticipate, incorporate, and recover from participants varying behaviors.

Are human the flaw? You have to go back to the definition of perfect. What is a perfect human? One with no flaw? Is that really a perfect human when human are the ones with emotions and variable reactions to the same stimuli?

By the way, where is the question in this?

February 2, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Question by cancersucks: Isn’t it in China and India’s best interest to clean up the Yangtze and Ganges rivers?
Someone once pointed out that the healthcare costs of premature babies is skyrocketing out of control. Well, we have to pay it! What do we want, the human species to die out? Same with the rivers. We cannot live without water. So isn’t it in China and India’s governments interest to clean up the rivers and prevent their pollution so that you don’t have people dying? You have to find a way!!

Best answer:

Answer by Millie C
Despite the fact that U.S. is still the leader in pollution, China will soon surpass us as they continue to industrialize. It’s not just the rivers that are worrisome…you have air pollution, depleting vital resources, endangering species…especially in our oceans. They economy has improved and their population is stabilizing, which is good, but at what cost?
