Political and religion unrest/violence

Aint the above are what we are supposed to be sorting out than launching into a space era? I think we need to get our priorities right.

The official Xinhua news agency says it is the first time that a foreign buyer has purchased both a Chinese satellite and its launching service.

It's completely alien to our culture

That's a stupid thing to say when talking about homosexuality. Homosexuality will occur in any culture, regardless of outside influences. So it cannot be alien to a culture.

I think he might have a point (due to ignorance? Or awareness?). I dont know of any gay stuff until i got here. Now imagine those who have been there without having the chance to travel beyond the borders.

I feel like, more focus should be on domestic maters instead of trying out this current avenue.

Yes, seems very silly for that country to be going down the space avenue at the moment.

I do hope the Chinese did not accept a Western Union wire transfer as payment

As much as i dislike their aggressive form of capitalism, they are getting a very strong foothold in africa - they have link with places like Sudan e.tc. they supply their forces with chinese ak-47 version etc and chinese oriented businesses are booming in that part of africa.

I dont know about that but it could well be true. I saw it on a programme on some satellite channel "Inside africa" iirc. The thing is imo, I dont think the chinese really like them but since it is business and they need the energy to feed their aggressively growing economy they would play nice till they drain the oil.

I saw something about the Chinese overseeing the mining of minerals in Africa , it was a real throw back to the bad old days of child exploitation.
It does sadden me that the land known as the Cradle of Mankind is in such a state.

There are a lot of backwards views out there.

That just means it was kept in the closet. Whether people talk about it or not, homosexuality exists in any culture.

Sure get this....

It is down to Nigeria's capital and Edinburgh to who hosts the Commonwealth games (the one after next I think). If Nigeria get it I just dunno :mad:

Nickie Campbell interviewed the head of the deciding committee on 5 live the other morning and he couldnt answer the sharia laws and gay thing at all; just kept saying we are not a political organisation. :rolleyes:
