Ah The Chinese Pollution is All a Devious Plot

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 7, 2011


I must admit that I had China all wrong. All the time I thought their polluting of the land was due to greedy, soul less, money grubbing country with no morals, but I must admit I am wrong. There is a reason for this wanton pollution of their peeps.

from here
– There is a correlation between the amount of zinc and copper found in people’s hair and their level of intelligence. Those with higher IQ have more of both metals.

Check this out and file it under “Holy Shit Im glad
I was born anywhere but in China!
Check out the guy on the right, he is a “village doctor”- ie a guy who has access to sharp sticks, bailing twine and needles and is certified to use them. This man is going to visit sick people in some remote area of China. I have documented my travails at the local ‘hospital’, and am lucky to still possess all my limbs. I shutter to think what this man, equipped with sharp tools, would do to my anatomy….

China daily excerpt:
“BEIJING – Health authorities have urged the inclusion of more village doctors in the social welfare system to improve their livelihoods. Unlike their urban counterparts, village doctors are not paid with public funding, and receive neither pensions nor social insurance.

“Village doctors are classified as members of the rural population and hence excluded from the social welfare system,” Ministry of Health department of rural health management official Yao Jianhong said.

Public Pisser in China- How Many Chinese Does it Take to Watch a Baby Piss?

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 7, 2011


This shot could be my piece de resistance, my Mona Lisa. I caught these people leaving the subway and knew what they were up to- take their baby to piss in public. I actually videoed the beginning of the festivities and then got these photos of them as well. I took three so will eventually upload them all.
oh btw, whats up with the lady on the right? If I were the guy I’d be like “hey back away from the kid’s junk. Dont you think you’re a little close? ” then I’d walk off to get some Chongqing lai ze Zhi (sp?)

Time To Give The Devil/Dragon Its Due

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 7, 2011


Time To Give The Dragon Its Due

Ok we need to slow this blog down and spread the love- give the dragon/devil its due. China’s rise is incredible. When else in the history of mankind has 1 300 000 000 people been moved from stuffing their gullets with tree bark and swamp grass, to running over innocent bystanders in BMW’S. Mercedes , Audi’s, and pissing away tens of millions on golden toilets?
The rise of this place is nothing less than stellar. I salute the world for chipping in and pouring cash into the hands of those who produce toxic trinkets and milk for us to consume. Will we ever see the rise of another country such as China in our lives you ask…
Well sadly enough, I have to say I have my doubts. In this age of enlightenment, who would have the balls to do what the rising dragon has done? Its not every country that enslaves the feeble minded and force them to work in brick kilns, or to utilize prisoners as slave labor, what other place posses such vision and love for their fellow man, all so that we can wobble down to wal-mart in order to buy products at the lowest prices?
To your humble author and servant, I think it will be many many a moon till we experience that which we are experiencing with the rising of China that we see today.

China, I salute your impact on the world!!

Watching My Diet in China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 7, 2011


Can anyone help me with this. I have taken to drinking a protein powder that I mix with milk. As I am attempting to be more health conscious, I am trying to cut down on the toxins that are poured into my body on a daily basis. As I cannot cease to breathe, I will have to accept the fact that like sucking on an exhaust pipe, I will be inhaling a toxic mixture of car exhaust and “rise of China poiosons’ from local manufacturers and coal plants that will render my lungs swiss cheese, by the end of the year.
But, irrespective of this, I am trying to cut down where I can. So can anyone help me. This is a carton of milk I purchased but i want to ensure it contains only the finest ingredients. So, does it contain any of the following:
铅,镉,三聚氰胺

I really think my spirits will improve by curbing my intake of , lead, cadmium and melamine…..

WTF?? In China- Government to STOP USE of Pirated Software? You Mean They Didnt Do This Before?

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 7, 2011


File this one under “you dirty thieving chicom thugs”.
In the snippet below, which only a country with the moral fortitude of China would even think of printing, the chinadaily says that uncle chicom (communist party/big brother/evil torturer ) will enforce a ban of the Chinese Government utilizing illegal software in government offices!

WTF are they thinking? Its 2011 and they finally decide to enforce this law? And think of the level of IPR infringement if the governing body of this country admittedly utilizes pirated software in their offices!

Think of it this way. All of the documents that the fearful leaders of this dry rock bash out on a daily basis potentially could be written utilizing pirated software from big firms who invested a lot of cash in their development.

Dont get me wrong, if you have a good kindle book you’d like to share…… then I may be enticed into taking a peek, and vice-versa, but I’m a little guy , not the man with his hand on the switch to our formidable arsenal of weapons, i would hope they would be more lawful. Somehow when I think of our leaders (hope) that after the BO man, plays a game of basketball, gets his lip busted, then watches his ‘shorty’ shake her massive ‘groove thing’.. I would like to think he sits down to pen a missive on a legitimate copy of Microsoft Windows…or maybe its just me…

excerpt china muzzle, chinadaily:
” BEIJING – China will strictly enforce the ban of unauthorized software in government offices in 2011, authorities have said.
Central government offices have until the end of May, while local offices have until the end of October, to ensure all software installed in their offices is licensed, State Intellectual Property Office spokesman Wang Ziqiang told a news conference in Beijing on Thursday.”
