A little Fri. afternoon fun: A personals ad from the London Review of Books guaranteed to bag someone, not that the prize would be worth the trouble: lrb.co.uk Summarily ejected from the NLP course entitled ‘How to Build a Better Girlfriend’, thanks to turning up with the Ikea catalogue, allen keys, amyl nitrate, a blowtorch, a blow-up doll, a picture of the Queen Mummy and a gallon of vodka, I find myself standing here with singed eyebrows and my face covered with bits of latex, the fact I am unable to sit perhaps connected with the disappearance of those damn allen keys. Or maybe the blowtorch. Will you be my girlfriend? Drunk, drugged and deluded M, 38, covered in fragments of burnt latex with allen keys stuck up his arse. Or perhaps its a blowtorch.

in the ten years that the Tibetans invaded China during the 8th century, the population of the country plunged from 52 million to 16 million. That's MILLION, now! During the 13th century Mongol invasion, the decrease in population was from 100 million to less than 60 million. A million people died during the siege of just one city

<<political? and i thought genes had more to do with race and culture. tell me, which racial/culture groups declined in numbers in china in any remotely systematic way?>> You cannot skip over the political part of it because your original comment here - Message 26244095 - was on the Chinese political system. From the start of the Chinese communists fight to impose their political system on China until today, untold millions of Chinese have died as a direct result of this political system and its policies. And given your family's experiences, your question above about cultural groups is astonishing. The Cultural Revolution. started by the leader of the Chinese political system, resulted in millions being killed, hung, shot, mutilated, stabbed, exiled, tortured and driven mad. Correct? In summary, the Chinese communist political system is responsible for an enormous number of dead human beings.
