silverfox Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sad to see the last Shuttle mission launching today. Budget cuts, yes. Russians to supply the International space station for the next two, if not three years. Unthinkable a few years ago.The first black president has inherited a poisonous chalice. Spend billions on space or on welfare? Keep being the protector of the free world or withdraw into isolationalism? The world is sitting on a fulcrum. Don't delude yourself that China will ride to the rescue. The future prosperity of the world hangs in the balance Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18313-is-the-us-now-a-eunuch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfox Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sorry Pafio, explain that to me again?As I understand it Mandarin is the official language of China, in a country with hundreds of different dialects. To have multiple variations of a language where different provinces can't understand each other is difficult for me. I suppose, for me, it's like being in converastion with some Glaswegians or Geordies, even though they're speaking the same language.

Thomas Micklewright Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 So you think the Chinese will keep with English?Yes I think American should run a policy of isolationism, their foreign policy has caused enormous problems. They need to concentrate on issues at home like health, business and crime.
