I lived in China for a short time...I just couldn't take it! I was forced to eat a soup made of snake, chicken and cat. CAT!!! I really like cats (as pets)! I do know they beat dogs to tenderise them in Korea before killing them..and...(gulp) eating them:(

Kudlow has always done that. If the Nazi's had won power he would spin his support of them too!

I have a Cat. I have trained him to be like a dog! To come when I whistle, to fetch, to shake hands etc When I go hunting he even scares up game! His name? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"Fido"<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Good Dog!

One of the downsides of glabalisation.... The older I get human stupidity surprises me less and less...

I play in one or two chess tournaments every year here in Australia when I have nothing else to do on weekends. However you encounter a particularly wierd species :- "THE CHESS GEEK" ...will turn you off the game.

I lived in Japan for 7 years and have never heard of whale sperm being a delicacy. This does not mean it is not, however. I sked my wife who is a Japanese national and she doesn't know it either, which, again, does not mean it doesn't exist. Anything is possible in Japan. It's like living on...

I only trade large cap NYSE or NASDAQ stocks. Have traded some Japanese and Hong Kong stocks occasionally. Haven't had much luck picking currencies, I thought the Aussie dollar would fall by now a few years ago. I didn't pick this commodities cycle

I live in Elsternwick which is close to St Kilda. I remember St Kilda when it was a haven for prostitutes, drug addicts and corrupt cops.......(err actually what's changed?) Melbourne is a nice place, a very civilised place, multicultural. Sydney is a frantic trashpit IMHO Brisbane is full of...

I'm in Melbourne too! Born and bred here. Best city in Australia (NOT Austria Barnaclehead!)

The average age of the nearly 3,000 young American men killed in Iraq is 25.5 years of age. This is an absolute tragedy. There were no WMD's, the mass destruction is the death of these young men.

Looks like Steve Irwin created a lot of enemies in the animal kingdom!

Yep, Kiwi's (New Zealanders) are rather fond of amphetamine abuse. They have a reputation for it indeed! This is why you should stay away from Sydney where they essentially congregate. Now you should stay away from the Gold Coast as well, apparently! The Gold Coast has had a seriously...

The last poster suggesting speed use is a fruitcake IMHO! There is much to be said for sobriety and you will be a better trader. It is untrue that if you want to trade US equities stay home. 90% of my trades are US Equities! There are lots of broker/dealers who offer 'International Equities'...

I'm in Australia as we speak. I've been to Sydney (Why one would want to go to THAT crime ridden town is beyond me!) but Melbourne is the Financial capital of Australia. Of course there is a "Wall St" type of strip in Sydney! There is one in Melbourne as well which is bigger and better...

Amanda Drury is my favourite. Followed closely by Betty Liu.

Assuming we indeed do "pay" for this "weed", you guys DO accept guns as payment rather than what the rest of the world accepts...namely..MONEY. Incidentally I am an Australian NOT an American however I have some sympathies for the U.S.A. they get alot of bad press because of the Republican...

I have to admit I have not heard the Laura Bush killing her high school "sweetheart" hypothesis before. Does anyone have more information regarding this event? She does have a certain look about her, I have to admit, and wasn't Laura Bush a teacher? Hmmm interesting.

Needs no more explanation does it? A Canadian Speaks! Perhaps I was wrong Canada and Russia may be on the same level of sad and dangerous places. Isn't cannabis Canada's biggest export to the U.S.A.?

T Boone Pickens last night said that it was an 'Oklahoma Promise' that we would see $70 before $50 per barrel. Ah yes I'm sure that southern drawl of his will suck a lot of people in. We will definately see $50 oil before $70 oil. I know what an 'Oklahoma Promise' is!

I woke up this morning and watched the Russian News (I own a lot of shares in Rosneft) lo and behold ANOTHER RUSSIAN BANKER GUNNED DOWN! That place is worse than Canada!
