China learns a lesson from Japan in pornography

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

Japan has been rising its power as the world domination on technology, and also productions in porn contents. It hits hard on Japanese culture.

As porn is widely popular in Japan, it leads to high rate of divorce giving way to personal crisis and increase of crime. The government of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is out of the game. It has no right to intervene to this profitable but harmful industry. Since culture is the foundation of a civilization, the breakdown of good traditions may lead to chaos of a nation.

China takes it shrewdly. From the begin of 2009, the Communist party is launching a Internet porn crusade aiming to purify online content. Again, this is what I like about the Communist. Although the leaders may have the access to stuff that are banned wisely, but for the whole society, citizens don’t have to right to own and use harmful items. The party also has the power to halt any activity that can damages the society and the cultural traditions.

Without pornography, personal stability and family structure can be put in order preventing the rise of crime rate and psychological abandon on children.

I give my applause for the Communist efforts so that one they we have to practice this action from China.

What can the $300b tax cut do?

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

Obama has just proposed a $300b tax cut on individuals and businesses aiming to stimulate the economy.

What can it do?

Presidents have been spending government budget to cut tax just to win vote and trust from citizens. Ronald Reagan was an example; while back to 8 years ago, Mr. Bush enact an $1.35 trillions tax cut plan for 10 years, which became the largest amount in the history. While, these leaders have been put America more and more in debt. Although, people have more money to spend and to enjoy, the whole America is totally in debt and loosing its power to other nations. To be honest, we are in $10 trillions debt with no solution to end it. It is growing more and more.

To me, the tax cut doesn’t solve the problem, while worsen it. It is the consumerism of Americans that creates more and more debt. We do have problem with spending. We do buy stuff we don’t need. And we do buy properties that we can’t afford. Thanks to the credit system that has been making our lives easier; but, the whole nation is going down with our recognitions. Guess what, with the cash left out from the tax cut, we don’t save but spend it. That means, no matter how much we own, we spend it all. Therefore, the tax cut might stimulate the nation for a while, but as a whole, it just creates more and more debts. Because, America doesn’t produce products, but China and India do. The more we buy, the more we gonna owe them.

All we can do it using propaganda and education to urge Americans not to spend profligately but to save and to live more spiritually.

This depression - a sad story of my family

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

My uncle has just been laid off.

Although as a man I am, I couldn’t keep my tear from falling for the sad story.

His family has four gorgeous daughters, and his wife is extremely beautiful. He works for the airplane company designing stuff, his wife owns a jewelry store. He has lost his job, and his wife sells none everyday comparing with hundreds per day last year.

I, writing this blog, have to eat package noodle every day, as nobody can support me and I couldn’t support myself.

This time, the come back of 1930 Depression with the very same reason is going to submerge Americans in starvation and lead to the dispossession of its power.

Is capitalism the answer to the wealth or just a few temporary lucks that has been leading America to the former glory? I doubt.

How the world celebrate New Year

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

It is pretty funny that the Western culture is always a reverse of the Eastern one.

To prove this, I take an example of New Year and Christmas. As you know, in here, America, we spend Christmas time for family that most at home, while New Year to go out on the street. It is different with Eastern culture. There, they celebrate Christmas with friends on the crowded avenues while stay at home with family during the Lunar New Year.

It all can be explained by taking a look on religion. In the West, we worship Jesus, there for the birth of Jesus is important. While in the East, they worship the physical sun (God) and new year is a fresh new start of the earth round, it is meaningful to the East.

And everything significant will be celebrated with families.

The crisis of American shallow knowledge but arrogance

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

I have just stumbled on the Internet and found this sh*t. Many thoughts mix in my opinion.

First of all, our society really has some problems with education. As Asians worship educators and learners, we tend to worship businessmen and entertainers followed by consumerism. Therefore, we don’t like to have fun rather than understand the world and functions of mind. Americans are weak in this side.

Take a look as this statistic:
Income comparision by race

That is what I’m talking about. With the underestimation of education, white American is beginning to lack behind and let Asian to rise with their wisdom. And yet, without knowledge of human mind, we can’t teach and guide our own children. Let’s go back to school guys, don’t enjoy more fun and spend more money on sh*t we don’t need, man. It is all going down if we don’t have deep understanding about the world and ourselves.

The second thought is that, not all Americans are stupid like in the video. I felt insulted, thou. But, after all, we do have problems with this side of the topic. And the whole country is going down with it.

The world is still transforming

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

I have just got the Sony PRS-700 today, and I am absolutely excited having it. Thus, it strike on my mind alarming that our physical world is step-by-step transforming into a digital one.

Nowadays, everything is possible as our tasks are all packed in small little devices that we call “gadgets.” Work has been being brought into small mobile laptops and delivered to mobile phones. In the very close future, tons of books and papers will be compressed into a little device so call “ebook readers.” The one I’m having is quite impressive. You can touch on the screen and do many tasks as you wish such as turn the page, highlight or even search words and terms. The Reader also has backlight so that you can read in a dark room. Worthily, this $400 reader, which sounds kinda expensive, but can be balanced up with free newspaper download on the internet.

As natural, new device begins new battles on the market. 30 years ago, Microsoft and Apple was fighting with small firms to dominate the consumers. Today, many reading devices with e-ink technology are being produced include Amazon Kindle, Irex Iliad and Plastic Reading from Logic Plastic coming this January. No one seems to dominate this chaos game yet, as the Green Revolution is quite new, Amazon and Kindle is leading but meeting many threats.

Last word, I’m very happy to see these stuff coming out to the market in which way can save forests and space.

My impression on Obama keeping his eyes on Gaza

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

Announcing “there is only one president at a time,” and he is now George Bush, Obama still has his own responsibility for the nation and his later president seat.

It is the tension in the messy Middle East that has been catching attention of this elect-president. Although, there is nothing he can do with the conflict at this time, but Obama is still monitoring this area and keeping track death tolls and stories from Gaza. Last Saturday, he had a meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about the violence the Gaza strips. Thus, he usually initiated call to this lady to ask for information of the tension.

Obama’s purpose on this is that he want to get the full image of the issue by the time he get into the White House on 20 January. The more I hear about Obama, the more I feel impressive and trust in this man. He always has plan, he always look further and he is always sober. That is the man who we need for this going down state of our nation.

However, I’m seeking to understand why conflicts locate at Gaza. Anyone who knows please reply a comment. Thanks.

This is a sad Christmas

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

Christmas Eve, I smiled, though. As family got together, I was happy. But I worry for my uncles, my parents and other people out there on the street submerged in layers of snow, too.

Yes, it is a sad Christmas to the whole America. Oregon is facing the peak of quicked weather with the first time snow storm since 1800s, thus cities in this state suffered electricity cut for weeks. Imagine how you live, eat and work with this situation. It is exactly like living in prison cells.

But, the ones I worry the most are my uncles and parents. During the time we cheer for the holiday (a little bit disappointed with less valuable gifts,) they have to smile with a tacit irritation of paying debt and seeking for jobs. Some say this Christmas is a spirtual one as family member give each other a romantic massage rather than an expensive ring set; that sounds good, but harm the economy. Christmas sell this year dropped from $556 million last year down to  $485 million this year. Those who has invested stock in these retail companies have lost part of their investment. Thus, failure in sell might lead to greater unemployment in order to cut expense.

Well, this Christmas is cold and dim, but I hope everyone seek for a gift in their heart healing for the crisis they have been suffered. Let’s love unconditionally.

Merry Christmas to who need Happiness

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

As Christmas is coming in couple of hours, there will be families open gifts and sing carol songs. I’m glad for them, but this greet is to thousands of people who have lost their jobs and houses during the last several quicked months.

80,000 employees were jobless in March as the Labor Department stated. Nov 17, Citigroup announced a news that schocked the media stating a 53,000 job cut to reduce expense for thecompany. AIA, Wamu, Lehman Brothers were out of business letting thousands of people suffer the same thing. Furthermore, stocks fell, houses market went down and several giant banks collapsed; this led a crisis that many lost their investment transforming them from wealthy stock owners to debt payers.

And yet, Christmas can’t be fun without gift. That is how people show love to each other. Well, hold that thought. This Christmas, there will be more spiritual presents than material ones. Husbands will give their wives massages, while the ladies will spend time at home to cook good meals. We ran out of cash to buy expensive gifts. An even more dangerous threat is that the words “Made in China” appears from toys, dress to even home decoration. This phrase has become the symbol of the US losing power and shifting jobs to China, which action promotes more job cut.

This will be still a cold Christmas, but darker than ever; and the red of the holiday will blend into the red of Communist China product. The green color represents the Green Revolution that the US is facing a hard time to catch up giving way to the failure of the Big Three. Overall, this is a simple and sad Christmas for the United States of America.

As I am sad and everybody else, I wish you all having a holiday that love engulves ourselves rather than material goods, and I hope that Obama have the ability to be Santa Clause for this long depressed holiday (as many people can’t go to work)

My love,
Tuaninside

China won the war on sex?

Published by tuannguyen under Opinion Edit This

http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE4BK0B820081221

Providing human indulgence is a big profit, therefore porn provides a big income everywhere it comes. To the East, it against the culture.

There is reasons for the argument that porn is bad. As scientist says, practicing sex is a part of relieving stress; however, freedom of sex ruin a culture, which is the foundation for a civilization. Pornography is the part of freedom of sex. It leads to family divorces, which factor leads to the formation of crimes and the decrease in human motivation in an economy. Porn destroys a culture, which case gives way to the collapse of an economy.

I have two examples. The first is the Rome civilization; the collapse of it was because of the break down in family values and the freedom of practicing sex. The second comes from my roommate, he has divorced twice due to watching Internet porn too much. Now, he is as poor and depressed as hell.

However, did the Communist won the game. Porns are unofficially sold everywhere on the China market. What the government has done is just the surface of the issue. The core is still there and seems inevitable. Who can control the flow of its. The war is still going until the control on the flow is better with the future reduction on corruption and future development in technology.
