This is a quick note. <<Try to generalize it again>> ... yes, to keep matters simple. <<Please show me the facts that I wrote those lines which make you connect those two dots together>> ... could not be bothered, and if not true, than you agree that the WWII Japanese invaders were scum of the earth, and that your kin said/believe so as much. <<Was your proud Hong Kong "free" sytem not a result of British political systems?>> ... no clue, and not exactly important. The fact is, HK is the freeest there is on this planet, bar none, right now, right here. <<Why are you so proud of it while others can not say good things about Japanese nice and clean in those days>> ... because it is not true, like those newly published textbooks. <<My mom can feel "just is">> ... so, what exactly does she feel "just is" about? Something about the Japanese invaders during WWII? And do you agree? <<Did you fight those British people? No?>> ... I wasn't around for most of the time, and when I was, I made a point being extra and deliciously nasty to the colonists, but if and only when any of them try to cut in front of me at the taxi queue. <<Do I have Chinese racism against Mulan while she could claim kill all Taiwan Independence separatists>> ... Mulan said that? Mulan was of course a classic Chinese hero, believing much in homeland defense. Do you have a problem with homeland defense? <<... telling me she is only a patriortic>> ... how would you like me to describe her instead. She who believes in homeland defense. <<Jay to claim "neutral" and "just is" by>> ... I am in fact just that, neutral, because I believe the situation will be resolved without much fuss, and certainly no war, and that as long as 50% of the folks on Taiwan do not wish for independence declaration, it will simply not happen, whatever the other 50% hopes to do. It just is, and very extremely realistic. No? <<I was drawn by you and Mulan to provide a balanced view>> ... I hope you great success against Mulan. As for myself, I hold my own views, to balance the both of you. <<I was bored as usual>> ... excellent. Good news. I am pleased. <<I am not good at no brain investing>> ... hmmnnnn, interesting, is that because for lack of practice, or same of success? Chugs, TJ P.S. I think we have settled the matters under discussion sufficiently now, and can get back to BBR.
