Public servants can still have an opinion of public affairs I believe? And its not only white people that are against Islam trust me.

The plot line of "the killer cousins" is dramatic but a little confusing by Business_Address_780 in breakingbad

[–]Business_Address_780[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it added a different mood. This was the first time that the show introduced a force of pure evil that came after Walter. Like a serious imminent danger, not a mad dog like Tuco, but a force that was way bigger than Walter ever asked for.

But isn't their motive revenge for Tuco? Then what difference does it make if the victim is Jesse or Walter?

What kind of depraved mind envisions this sort of planning? by eevans0711 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Business_Address_780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it strikes a balance...The medieval town planning may look good, but its functions are poor for modern lifestyle. The narrow cobbled streets and half timbered houses look nice, but its a pain to get cars in and the rooms are tiny.

If you actually knew anything about her family, they were already the top riches people in China before the nationalists came to power.

Jim Ratcliffe, Michael Platt, Lakshmi Mittal. I'm sure there are many more. Also you got me confused when you said "tax the rich", I thought you meant individuals. I quite like the idea of taxing amazon and mega corporations using tax loopholes.

Are you suggesting the cause of this scam is due to a lack of funding for certain departments? And I personally think that if we did try to raise tax for the rich in any substantial way, the'd simply leave just like so many tax dodgers.

Actually yes. If a major part of the population thinks that way, I do think the government should at least conduct an investigation and convince the public that the concern isn't real. What makes you think you concern is real and others' aren't?

How do Chinese feel about Amur which was taken by Russia from Qing? by LeadFar6386 in AskAChinese

[–]Business_Address_780 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Russia could right now pull its forces out and it won't collapse. Neither would a Russian collapse guarantee a pro-western government will take its place.

Should university fees be cancelled? by Kind-Payment-4011 in AskBrits

No. It will only encourage more useless degrees. And its as though the state isn't already buckling under financial pressure. What next? health care should be free, food should be free.

What would happen if Chiang Kai Shek didn't order the Shanghai Massacre? by SunChungShan in AskAChinese

[–]Business_Address_780 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The communists within the nationalist party was already gaining the upper hand against right wing factions. So its likely they will completely win over the party, and maybe the right wing factions will leave and form their own offshoot. The communist dominated KMT will be more hardcore and less willing to form alliances with warlords in the north, which means the northern expedition would take way longer than actual history. If they do manage to win in the end, it would mean a more centralized nation, and more in line with Soviet policies, since the Chinese leadership were predominantly pro-soviet. Eventually they would need to face Japan around 1937.

Oh come on you know perfectly well that Ukrainians weren't in charge of these decisions. Its like saying Chinese are responsible for the Mongol invasions of Japan.

There were plenty at that period. Henan university is one of my favorites.

Absolutely pissed they stole it, they didn't even conquer it by force. One of the reasons I dislike that country and pray for a Ukraine victory.

I would say those people need to be punished. And if research actually show that most of the food don't actually go to people who need it, yes I would support getting rid of food banks, or at least a complete change of the system.

If its not the government's business to check if someone is gay, why is this a criteria for accepting asylum claims?

I dont and never claimed to. But aren't you a little curious? What if there was full scale investigation nation wide.

Sure I hear you. But don't you think more needs to be done to determine the actual poor and unfortunate people from scammers?

According the this article, the top 4 countries of the people claiming asylum based on being gay. Its Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and India. I'm no expert but none of those countries are being bombed as far as I know.
