There's something missing here ....
 

Usually, whenever there is a major natural disaster in the world, there is a thread on it .... the one on the Burmese event is on page 2 .... but I see that no one has mentioned what is going on in China:confused: Leaves me wondering why? Surely you have all heard of it or read of it or seen it on the boob tube. And it is certainly a disaster of major proportions, makes Katrina look like a flesh wound. Is it because of what's going on in Tibet? I realize that a lot of people have no sympathy for the govt in Bejing, but they are sweethearts compared to the crew running Burma. The loss of life in China, not to mention the thousands buried alive, deserves some expression of sympathy.

Eric..I started the Burma thread.
My father was killed there and I have friends who are Burmese.
Some clown asked would the collections tins come out again.
I was in China for three years and still communicate with friends there.
Starting a thread about anything other than local issues is frowned upon and for my pains the same clown and two of his fellow clowns left me bad Karma.
I will put the link on and see how people feel:

Thanx for the link Royboy ... I hate to think that sympathy for those suffering unbelievable loss ... families, whole schools full of children .... should be qualified by dislike of the government of the victims. These are human beings, just like us ... and it is appropriate, I believe, to express some sympathy, even in passing. "No man is an island ....

Course you are Eric:p

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

Perhaps it may be a good idea to give your thoughts on the current situation in China instead of lurking in 'Who's on line' ready to pounce.

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

Perhaps it might be a good idea for you to wind your neck in, go pick on somebody else!!!!

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

My neck may be long but my brain is still functioning very well thankyou.
Please get back on subject and either give your input to the subject or if that is beyond your ken.........back off. :p

Is it your turn tonight Bernie ? To be fair he tries to pick a different person each day to have an argument with. Maybe he hasn't got a mirror :D

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

I notice that you haven't the balls to comment on China either.

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

People like this don't bother me, think it is sad that all he can do is have a go:(

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

And still we don't get back to the topic of China :mad:

Re: There's something missing here ....
 

Ok if you want to know my feelings on China, I feel terribly sorry for what has happened there. The thing is my worrying about it isn't going to make things better:(
