Er... I believe in Science too. (And Literature
)
It's not "someone up there" - much likely something, a physical balance... but I already stated this thought of mine in another thread.
(I believe you must be posting here more often if he's not around?)

Because as ProfCrash said, I'm living in a country run by Communist Party and have a very different view. Life is alright. Still a mess some decades after war, but acceptable IMO.
The USSR, as well as my country in 1970s-1980s, has made many mistakes. People from that time say it was like living in hell. From the fall of the USSR, our government realized their fatal mistakes and changed the policies. Living condition has been greatly improved. There is no terrorism in Vietnam. The people in our country believe strongly in government. Patriotism. Nationalism.

I think that someone who has been raised in Vietnam is likely to have a different take on the matter for a wide variety of reasons. I like Ahn and would love to discuss Communism in the politics thread, I just don't think this is the place for that discussion. I don't think it hurts those of us from more open systems to remember that people can get in trouble in other parts of the world for reading the very simple statements that we have made here.
I guess, I am saying, that there is the possibility that this could be a more sensitive topic of conversation then just discussing politics outside of the politics thread and it would not hurt is to be sensitive to that fact.

You're right. Should drop this sensitive topic now.
But somehow I don't feel easy discussing in P&R. People there are strangers. You guys here are friends.
So, back on topic, I have milk and corn milk and water. Long time no tea...
