I think you’re supposed to say “I think you Wing the Wong number”.
my answering machine says “you’ve reached the hwang number. please leave a message.”
nice jonathan woss impersonation there swiss.
How immature and retarded can you get? I feel ashamed that you are a fellow human because idiots like you keep pulling the human race to a new low.
Then again, we cant really expect anything out of a obvious loser who feels the need to leave his own country and reside in the third world, can we?
hmmmmmmmmm …
quite funny and quite a pun
Just kidding ! :)
China has never been “third world,” – the construct of first and second and third worlds is a Cold War phenomenon, now mostly discarded, however, First World Nations were NATO alligned nations, with modern infrastructure and somewhat democratic governments. Second World Nations were those aligned with the Soviet Bloc, and while there was massive fall-out between those in Moscow and those in Beijing, for the purposes of arbitrary naming techniques, China was still very much Second World. Third World were those nations which were unaligned.
If you are referring to the current status of China as a developing world economy, the Third World nation moniker is still inaccurate – developmental studies majors nowadays prefer the terms developed, developing and underdeveloped, and China, most obviously belongs in the developing column.
I say to you, Good Day, Sir.
T: i thought *they* were using “lesser developed” instead of “under-developed” . . . you know referring to national economies as LDC’s and what not.
In “The Economist” they cut straight to the chase and use the terms “rich countries” and “poor countries”.
At least that’s what Emma tells me, I can’t read that magazine personally- duller than All Bran.
lets be honest. there’s 2 categories of country: Great Britain and countries that are not Great Britain.
Let’s keep it rambunctious chaps.
Man, does the MS IM interface really look like that? It’s a train wreck. By the way, I’m not trolling.
Seriously funny conversation though. Sometimes things like this are proof of “fate.”
Baltic- up the Queen
Nik- this is a third party product by Message Labs, it’s more secure than MS so we can talk about important software secrets on it.
