    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.
    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
    if you download bbc iplayer i think you might be able to watch it

    Them chinese must be incredibly healthy, like.

    Here's a another one: how many deaf japanese people have you seen?

    Only ones I've seen, fictional or real, were in that movie Babel.

    I'd not thunk about deaf japanese people until then, but it's like they hide them or something.

    (For that matter you don't really see many japanese disabled nationals either in mainstream media, at all. I supposed there's still that mental sense of shame attached to it.)

    Durrr, of course! Ok, I will. Will make a change to see something
    positive about China. I went to a free Tibet rally recently and that
    made me look up some more stuff about it. Seems China's government
    has got this naive view whereby it wants to improve the lives of all
    under Chinese dominion while exercising an iron fist over them and
    turning a blind eye to corruption and human rights abuses. Seems
    like an interesting way of doing things....yin and yang and all that :/

    I saw some of that Chinese School thing - it was a bit scary! They get up before they go to bed and study for 23 hours after the school day. One girl complained about the queues in the dinning room. The teacher said "don't queue, study more then go down later when it is quieter"

    Can't see it catching on over here.

    They're breeding automatons aren't they? Recreation is irrelevant.
