Wings and Beer
An old but true story: I saw a sign outside a neighborhood pub. It said, " $4.99 wings with beer ". I thought, "Wow, that's a good deal", so I went in and asked about it. A bar maid came and said, " If you buy a beer from us, we'll sell you half pound of chicken wings for $4.99." I asked, " How much is the beer ?" She replied, "$7.00 for a pint". I said "thank you" and left.
I couldn't help but laugh. I wouldn't say it was false advertising, because the sign didn't say " $4.99 for wings and beer." What it really meant was " $4.99 for wings with the purchase of a glass of beer for $7.00, in total $12.00 ".
Again, I wouldn't call it false advertising, but certainly it was very tricky. Thanks for making me laugh !!!

John McCain on Russia
In retaliation for U.S. action against Moscow, Russia had imposed sanctions against John McCain and eight other American officials. John McCain must be very upset. He made an insulting statement against Russia. He said,"Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country." This false statement is not only insulting; it is very stupid. Bet you Putin loves Russia more than McCain loves America. No wonder someone by the name of Socialist Slayer said,"Go away John McCain. America hates you more than Russia."

Politicians
What politicians do not tell lies or make false promises ? What
politicians always tell the truth, nothing but the truth ? The
politicians' position is that their opponents are bad and wrong, and
they are good and right. What if the voters have a free choice of a few
apples, but they are all bad apples ? Want to look for hypocrites ? Go
to the religious and political worlds. I guarantee you will find a few
if not many hypocrites there.
........................................................................................................
P.S. To a friend Mary,whose husband was a politician: Hi Mary ... I know your family. A general truth is not an absolute truth. I'm sure there are some politicians who have a high level of integrity and sincerity. Indeed it is a challenge to be a politician working in a dirty pond of muddy water and be able to come out all clean and dandy. Canada is not too bad, but sadly, we are catching up with the world in corruption. To name a few: the senators, the mayors, the police, etc. etc. Cheers !

Love and Respect
Love yourself, before complaining that you are not loved by others.
Respect yourself, before complaining that you are not respected by others.
If you don't love others,why do you expect that they must love you ?

Who Discovered America ?
Zheng He (Cheng Ho) the Chinese Admiral
discovered the New World some 70 years before Columbus. Westerners don't
know about this, or refuse to accept this to be true, but controversial British historian Gavin Menzies confirmed the Chinese
indeed came to America long before Columbus arrived.
Evidence was found in the Asian genetic make up of aboriginal people, and for example, in both old Chinese and Peruvian maps. The names of some places in Peru have a Chinese origin. For example, Churin or Chulin in Peru is Chinese, which means the forest or jungle.
Going by sea from China to America (North and South) is not as difficult as people think, even at Cheng Ho's time (1371-1433). Cheng Ho's majestic fleet of Chinese ships was quite advanced. It would take only a few weeks or months to cross the oceans from China to reach America, not years.
All said, it's up to yourself to do your own studies and decide what is true and what isn't. Please be open-minded and consider the facts, speculations and possibilities.

Cancer
An easy way to get cancer: after a hot meal, you drink ice-cold water.
Please don't do that. Cut down the consumption of red meat. Eat more
fruits and vegetables. Wish you all healthy and happy !

Ukraine
I'm not an expert in Ukraine politics, but here are my thoughts and comments anyway:
To understand the deep-rooted problems and issues, you can't just look at Ukraine from the perspectives of USA and the West. You must also look at this whole mess from the Russian perspectives.
The current Ukraine Government was created, only after the elected president Viktor Yanukovych ran for his life, left Ukraine and went to Moscow for protection. It was a forced exile. He still considers himself the president of Ukraine. There was agreement signed between Yanukovych and the opposition party, which is no longer honored, so from the Russian perspectives, it was a coup or forced exile. Russia doesn't recognize the current Ukraine Government as legitimate.
Especially about Crimea, you need to know its history and current strategic importance to Russia, etc. etc., before you should completely take side with USA and the West. Every coin has 2 sides. To be a referee and fair judge, you need to look at both sides of the coin. There is no way Russia will "give up" Crimea.
American and Western media only showed Ukrainian people died, but they didn't show the death of ethnic Russian people and police. There was violence on both sides.
Ukraine is a divisive country: some are pro-West, some are pro-Russia, and everyone needs money and wants peace. The mess is all international dirty politics.
Regarding invasion and occupation of a sovereign country, USA and the West broke the UN rules themselves many times over, so they have no moral authority to lecture and accuse Russia of occupation or invasion of Ukraine. Man, don't tell me Ukraine will split into two: pro-west West Ukraine, and pro-Russia East Ukraine and Crimea. Interference of internal affairs of Ukraine ? Both USA and the West on one side, and Russia on the other side, have been doing so for years. All a mess !!!!
