7. I think every day, people lamented the failure of the Obama administration |
|
Edited on Mon Dec-01-08 11:04 AM by NewJeffCT
in some very heated threads in GDP. Lots of anger and people losing their tempers, etc.
So, nothing unusual.
Welcome back, though!

32. China did that as well a while back |
|
Beijing used to be Peking, Nanjing used to be Nanking, Guangzhou used to be Canton, etc. Shanghai is still Shanghai, though.
and, they've become more Westernized there as well.
How have they become more Americanized in India?

37. I watched WALL•E twice yesterday and loved the anti-corporate, anti-consumerism theme |
|
as the root of all of our troubles (the obvious selfishness which allows it to prosper as well). Such things have created the Bush family. I hope that India may completely avoid the negativity inherent in capitalism/consumerism.
Glad you had a good trip.
BTW, Barack Obama spent some time at a food bank passing out food, asking people to simply call him "Barack". This alone, even before he gets into office, has given more to the people of the country and its new direction than Bush has done in his entire life. Barack is quietly leading by example...it's quite exciting as this -must- build into something wonderful.

41. Do you feel out of place at all? |
|
and, do you think you get noticed as different because you've lived in the US for a while now?
When we went to China last summer, my wife got complimented on her Chinese - I guess because she doesn't look like she grew up there anymore.

I was a tad worried there: didn't realize you were on the other side of India.
Same old/same old here. Oh yeah: Wal-Mart shoppers are animals who kill people :sarcasm:

49. So what's doing in Kolkata? |
|
I read a Nat'l Geo article on it a few months ago that, for once, actually focused on stuff other than the extreme poverty, for instance, its stature as an intellectual capital. Any thoughts?

51. China declared me mentally ill. |
|
Apparently, they now classify my extreme love for computers and the internet as an "addiction." Those Chinese and their attempts to thwart my bid to live IN the internet permanently. :eyes: What will they dream up next? Now, I must implement counter measures to make sure they never find me, put me in a straight jacket and keep me from my beloved internet. So far, so good. :yoiks:
Glad you are back safe and sound. :hug:
