re: The Asian Invasion
On the topic of population - if Chinese are sooooo smart, then why do they enact laws that limit the number of children couples can have andpunish those that exceed these numbers?

Actually I believe they have. The US, interestingly enough, wants to withhold funds from international agencies that do birth control counseling in China. Go figure.

re: The Asian Invasion My administrative assistant is Chinese. I will say here, actually this law makes a lot of sense for the Chinese. About 95% of the population there lives well below what we would call the poverty level. When you have a billion people, you limit your population growth. Period.

Maybe during these Dubya days we are getting our policy positions from Monty Python lyrics? Such as:

For every sperm is sacred, and every sperm is great. For every sperm that's wasted, God becomes irate.

re: The Asian Invasion Laser,
Why do you have to defend something that is so obvious? Although you see some radical post here and there, but I believe most of immigrants think the U.S. is the dream land.

Yes, sometimes I jump out to defend China a little bit, only because on this baord there are some so ignorant people. They don't know anything in the rest of the world. (sometime I even doubt weather they really know the U.S.).

For example, I am one of those who appreciate the U.S..
1. The U.S. is one the the best, if not the best country in the world.
2. The U.S does not come this far for no reason. It has great people.
3. Americans are also the luckest people in the world. The natural resources are just unlimited.
......

The list can go on, but I am not going to list them all.

Of course, the U.S. is not perfect. I am not going to list them here either. I guess most of people here do not like to see them anyway.

BTW, the comment on chopstick, I don't know if it is true. I don't see fork is necessarily more convenient than chopsticks. For asian food, chopstick is much easier. (are you gonna pick up each grain by a fork?). For steak, no doubt, knives and forks will do.

Man oh man, I love this banter going back and forth. I think we have some great race relations here. Here is some more fuel for the fire. A few questions for all the Asians slamming the US:

1) Why are you waisting time here in the US at all? (Outside of raping the country for all its wealth.)

2) If all intelligence comes from the knowledge mecca of the Asian continent - why was the telecom revolution not conceived and fostered in Asia? The vast intelligencia of educated engineers with business acumen could surely manipulate world telcom/datacom practices from Asia.

3) Why do you still use chopsticks? The fork is vastly better - except for maybe cooking bacon.

re: The Asian Invasion My point exactly. I was being sarcastic and wanted to show just how trivial this thread really is. There are a lot of great things about Asia and the US. I have been to Asia many times and think the culture, capabilitities of the people, and business environment are great. Likewise, contrary to some people's opinion on this massage board, the US has a few great qualities also! I am just tired of all the polarized opinions on this message board and narrow minded viewpoints of supposedly educated individuals.
