anonymoose_auSo I'm watching Behind the News on ABC at the moment, which explains the nuances of the news for kiddies.
Anyway, poor Taiwan...only 25 countries recognise its sovergnity, in fact (and this surprises me!) the only thing that keeps China from going in hard is the US! Well kiss my butt, that's nice of the US. Although this is a question for us all, what's so important about Taiwan? I mean why does China want it so bad, it's just a little island, is it one of those "I just wanna have this piece of Land, ha ha ha!" things? Same with Tibet actually, which reminds me did you hear about the Dhali Lama doing a back flip over the whole 'Free Tibet' issue! I wonder, was he misquoted, and if not the Tibetan Freedom Fighters must be wondering "What the Hell?!"
Ah well.
Another point of interest: A few days ago, a family of four were found dead in a murder-sucide and the person who committed the murders was the mother! Which brings up the whole Domestic Violence thing, but what I found interesting was the following story on Domestic Violence was focussed on how the perp is always a man, which you know seems a bit ironic in this case! Also there's all these questions about what would drive a woman to do this etc. etc. which seems kind of interesting since if it was the man they'd probably just say "Asshole". Weird stuff.
Hmmm...did you know that when you buy laptops, games consoles, mobile phones etc you may well be contributing to the hunting of endeangered gorillas in the Republic of Congo! Because that's where they mine one of the materials needed for the above, so the miners eat the gorillas while they're out there. Oh dear...poor gorillas! But weird no...who'd have thought that?
Damn, feeling sleepy... I blame my mother who woke me up early this morning to drive her to the Church to drop off the laptop, no respect I tell you. She's told me I can't lie around all day long, despite the fact that she used to say unless I did I couldn't possibly be sick enough to stay home. Hmpf! Confusion!
