Dear Rich,

I will have in mind your interest in mind among the others

Your friend

Jacques

Dear John,

I agree with you. With the hight quality of our members, and perhaps of our users who are more numberous, we can make that Asia Observer THE reference for all Asia watchers.

Dear Sremmah,

I agree with you when you said that people have to live. But it's also important 'how we live too'. How about living in such a way that you do not become a big burden and your footprint will be small?

When you think about globalisation it's not just a matter of 'free trade' and 'profit' only. We also have to be aware that 'humankind as all linked together.' What's happening in 'one part' of the earth will also effect on the 'other parts' of the earth as well.

When leaders talk about not being able to put a break on businesses and manufacturing is because it can allegedly hurt the 'econiomic growth' of the country. Do they ever think about how harmful it would be if we keep on continuing letting Carbon emmissions into our atmosphere.

It's like President Johnson saying "It's better that the son-of-a-bitch is pissing outside rather than pissing inside." For us none of the son-of-a-bitch can afford to 'piss' into our atmosphere. It will come back and hit you sooner or later.

We definitely have to change our life style. Like Shumacher said "small is beautiful" we should find a way to satisfy our greed in a way that will have less impact on our environment.

The subject of this forum is not to have polemic on ecology, but to know what sunjects are the more interesting to share beetwen us

Hi Jacques,

Yes you're are absolutely correct...apologies for straying off topic.

To help us get back on track though, I was wondering if you could suggest (and share articles with us) on up-to-the-minute breaking Asian news.

Are there any particular news services/newspapers/TV/radio outlets that you specially recommend?

Cheers


Rich

Hi Rich,

Every day I watch around 20 agencies and other medias covering all Asia, someones in french. Can you read french language ? and when I worked on a country I watch national newspapers, official (governement) sites and political parties sites.

If you hit my shared articles, you can take note of the sources. If you want more send me a personnal message through my profile page.

Friendly yours

Jacques

Hello Jacques,

I've already picked up some ideas from your shared articles thanks - alas I don't understand French but I 've sent you a more detailed personal message as requested.

Cheers

Rich

Hi Linsi

I understand your concern of trafficking on whomen. I share it, but what wee wait from A.O. is fresh news, not 10 years old.

Hi Pokkha

You so active on A.O. Why did you not andwer to my question ?

Hi Linsi

I understand your concern of trafficking on whomen. I share it, but what wee wait from A.O. is fresh news, not 10 years old.

hello jacques

i also understand what you mean,one of the tabs says share an article..and articles about human trafficking is one of the horrible crimes being committed by criminals around the world up to the present, so i was prompted to share it.

no problem i would look for more updated write ups but with the same content as old itself about human trafficking prostitutions, mail to order brides etc... if that's what you mean

On with Asia Observer, i just wander where john is right now?
