Firstly, congrats on yet another great post.

I think I fall a bit short on this one, I am pretty much a stereotypical “stiff-upper-lipped” Englishman who tends not to complain about anything, just ends up apologising on other peoples behalf.

Anywayz, wave that flag with pride!!!

Best wishes, Graham :D

As for “serious” politics, I respect the need for them since in most countries (including mine) a lot of peopled died and were tortured so that I have the right to be a free political animal and not a forcibly apolitical one…

It is funny though how, in my country at least, people blame politicians for everything… like those politicians are elected by some bunch of aliens and not active citizens:) It is truely hilarious how detached one is from politicians until the next big election comes and all become one ‘big happy family”, lol!

Hi Zhu.…first I want to thank you for stopping by at my blog, I truly appreciate it :)

I read about politics alot — local & international and yes, it does make me think why can’t there be peace.

It was amusing at the parlimentary system in Taiwan whereby politicans make a fool of themselves in the House.….about the numerous protests you mentioned, in Singapore it is illegal to have street protests so when I was in Helsinki last year during the ASEM Summit, I was ‘soaked’ in the atmosphere and totally new experience for me.

Great post Zhu and I’ll be back :D Have a nice day.

As a Canadian, I like the fact that we are known as a 'peaceful country', while still being aware of serious issues and working to change them. Sometimes I admit, that I do wish we got a bit more... riled up over topics, but overall I'm pretty happy with how we operate. I liked this post.
