    downloaded another series called Chinese school which was about education in china and in one episode this kid had too illness about him to be accepted into school so he had to go back to his village where he will work in fields for the rest of his life

    /that was quite a serious post, possibly my first. it wont happen again, i assure you.

    Nice save!

    I gather China's government is quite progressive when it comes to health and education, despite massive corruption. It's an interesting country.

    their educations orsum if you can afford it, in the rural areas the parents tend to leave their kids with their grandparents and go an work in the city in factories and send money back to their villages to pay for their kids school but most only get to see their kids once a year! its really interesting watching their schools, in primary school they set aside an hour on a friday and make the kids stand up and admit to their faults or anything they've done wrong/naughty, then they all clap and forgive them. some of the kids live at the school too and they teach them how to dress them selves and wash their own pots and clothes, really remarkable considering their age.

    you should watch Chinese School, there's only 4 parts to it, it was on BBC4 not long ago but its on uknova and thebox.

    Another thing you never see (anymore)...

    White dog turds.

    I remember years ago when you walked down the street, chances were that you'd see a dog turd that was all dried up with an off-white colouration with a chalky look about it. Not no mores.

    Where have all the white dog turds gone?

    I bet they have to be really careful what they admit to . Can you see it anywhere online? I only have poor person's TV

    They changed dog food to remove carbonates.

    Oh. Well that explains it.

    The universe is getting less and less mysterious.

    You'd be surprised how many people that question has bothered....one of life's great questions it seems.
