The scary part is that babyhood is about as late as you can start learning this mess of a language, apparently. Anyone older could spend decades on it and still speak like an infant.

And thanks to Bush, people are embracing China as the global 'good guy', so students in other countries are choosing Chinese over English too.

We're well past the beginning of the end, folks. The real question is, where will our decline end? I don't know of any precedent in the modern world. Russia's collapse was of a different kind of nation.

Yep.

And here I am wasting my time on the Japanese language.

'And thanks to Bush, people are embracing China as the global 'good guy', so students in other countries are choosing Chinese over English too.'

No. Dude. Bush is fine. Don't you read the new republic? You have no idea what he's doing for global american leadership and freedom.

'The real question is, where will our decline end'

In 2075 the sand worms will come. Stand ready, motherfuckers.

I heard puberty was the latest age, but that's just for learnin' in general.

I think Bush is not really the problem but the symptom--take a disease like syphillis, you don't wake up with sores on your pharoh all of a sudden, it takes a few nights at the rent-a-ho to get it.

Wallmart is our rent-a-ho and the addiction of cheap goods has driven the fatties to blow themselves out of jobs.

How long till the end? someone in 1960 would claim hippie youth, 1970's the death of disco--I think the time of nationalistic death is over. We are all beholden to the gloabalised economy, but at least we got nukes!

The Aztec calendar mapped out the phases of the moon thousands of years into the future...and stops in 2012. That's when we're all dead, probably. So who cares.

No true nocal!
er.. entirely..

December 21st, 2012 (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count) therefore represents an extremely close conjunction of the winter solstice sun with the crossing point of Galactic Equator and the ecliptic, what the ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree

--THE HOW AND WHY OF THE MAYAN END DATE IN 2012 A.D.

[it's got starcharts!]

I hat texts of this kind.
The mayans started with the 21. december and counted backwards to decide where the calandar would begin, our cycle ends on exactly this date, astrologically were swapping from the age of pisces to the age of aquarius.

What better time to let them chinese people do all the organizing and producing stuff, while marketing and designing stuff belongs to the ego-centred western world.
Come on, they are two different to do the same work.
Asian people submit for their culture, while we, the western people want to be free, express and stuff.

Thanks for the insight. See ya screamin on the Solstice in 2012, folks.

In 2075 the sand worms will come. Stand ready, motherfuckers.
Shit. I'll be like 101. :(

I had my Toto mixtape ready and evaytin.

I think they'll reschedule for a cool guy like you. 2040 ok?
