Anyway the Japanese are the only nationality that do not require a visa to China.

I figure in today's world that is the most valued passport.
Forget all the Euro hype.

Blue Magic: I remember traveling 2 Nigeria with my Nigerian passport. At the airport people with US passport were being given preferential treatment. Even in Nigeria they dont respect the nigerian passport. Never again will I use the nigerian passport.
NA LIE when was that?
Currently if you travel with with your Nigerian passport, you don't get to queue up.

What is this? angry
Private vocational university?
Must she put university behind?
She is simply opening a vocational centre.

Nigeria is yet to recover from the proliferation of substandard glorified secondary schools esp in the SW (like Tai Solarin, OOU etc)
Now she wants to add Iyalode vocational centre abi university.

She should focus on learning how to apply make up in a less scary manner, not something over her head.

I have this urge to help corp members, whenever I meet them.
I hope she recovers soon.
Corp members should endeavor to have something on that easily identifies them.

shymexx: Fighting? - How? Pockets of dissidents with firecrackers when the Germans were all over France eating french fries. grin

I agree. The UK would've fallen but either intentionally (due to the German British royals), or the narcissistic attitude of the Germans, they left the UK for the Ruski's.

The bolded part cracked me up. Even the British royals were in the UK with the people sharing rations with them but Charles de Gaulle was in exile like the cowardly French blood in him - hysterical.
Lol!
Perhaps i stretched the Charles de Gaulle part, but he is considered a hero.
You really carry a red passport, which you are proud of.
Kudos.

Kingmojo: The British empire will most likely go down as greatest empire the world has ever seen. I am still amazed how a small island were able to take over most of the world. They took what they wanted. Remember most of the Americas was controlled by the French and Spanish. Look at it today. Britain has had more influence in the world than any other country.
No doubt,the British empire is one of the greatest.(don't know if they are greater than the Roman empire).

The world is in cycles

The Roman empire
The British empire

The American domination.
(Remember the French role in making America the supposed land of the free.)
Now CHINA.

shymexx: Brother, when it comes to defending homeland - everything else becomes irrelevant. They can always rebuild another Paris and Louvre, however, when you lose your freedom - there's no coming back from that. You've to make sacrifices. Imagine if the Hitler and the Nazi's had not gone on their ego trip and attacked Russia, France would be a German colony now. The Brits fought with everything they have got despite all the bombs the Germans were dropping on all the UK cities. Heck, Buckingham Palace got hit, but they kept on fighting like warriors. Russia gave everything it had to defend the homeland - sacrificing 20 million people is not a joke. However, they had to pay that price for freedom.

If the UK were to swap locations with the French, trust me, the Brits would have continued fighting.

"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." - Winston Churchill
There was Vichy France and the rest of France.
France continued fighting.
They also sacrificed a lot
Charles de Gaulle kept on fighting from exile.
Trust me Britain would have fallen to the Germans.
The same Brits have fallen to the French several times and vice versa.

shymexx: After what happened during world war 2 and how the French didn't put up any resistance - I doubt their image would ever recover from that. Subsequently, they have been smacked around in almost every other country except militarily weak sub-saharan African countries.

As for the Libya fiasco, Sarkozy was just trying to get his mini napoleon complex on - and market the French Dassault Rafale jets at the same time. Don't forget the Dassault Rafale jets were also part of the fighter jets vying for the Indian fighter jets contract at that time. And what other way is better to show off those jets than defying the Libyan air defense system before the tomahawk cruise missiles started dropping on the Libyans? Add Gaddafi's refusal to purchase those jets from the French to the equation and you would understand the mindset of Sarkozy and why they struck first.

However, that doesn't change the fact that Libya was the UK's war; the UK launched more than 2 dozens of tomahawk missiles on the Libyans; and the RAF did more sorties than the French airforce.
The French did put up a resistance, Free French movement, fought throughout.
I agree WW2 will remain an indelible embarrassment, but come to think of it, perhaps if a proper battle was fought, the world would have lost the priceless treasures of Paris including the Louvre.
A large chunk of European history and civilisation would have been erased.
In any case, do you think if Britain and France were to swap locations, the same fate would not have befallen the Brits?

Lol at mini Napoleon complex. Sounds good.

Then they took on America,the most powerful state on earth,with zero chances of winning the war.But they came on too!Mind you,vietnam is a small country with just about 60 millions of people.

It is not enough to have big mouths.You have to back them up when the going get tough!
In other words, you are saying that Vietnam is stronger than America and France?
I don't know how to help you really.

shymexx: Come on, now. I doubt Hitler really wanted to defeat the UK, to be honest. I believe he just wanted to bring the country to its kneels, but everything was more of a game than anything else. The Royal Family is German - and best believe they had direct communication with the Germans during the war. Heck, all of Germany's best military assets were deployed against the Russians in lieu of the UK.

That said, the yanks did help by selling weapons to the UK. However, without the brave Russians - there was absolutely no way the Americans would have defeated the Germans, trust me. Hence why most historians still question why Hitler attacked Russia. The Russians won the war.

Anyway, yes, the French used to great fighters, but since world war 2, they have been puzzies. Smashed in Algeria. Disgraced in Vietnam. Chickened out in Egypt during the Suez Canal crisis when the Soviets gave them a stern warning. France is puzzy! undecided
You are mostly right about the Russians, but I can see your sentiment lies with the Brits(The Brits are notorious for calling the French pu***).
Even the Americans were disgraced by the Vietnamese not just the French.
Was it not the French that struck the first blow against Libya while UK was still waiting for their American masters to give them a go ahead?
Truth is France has sworn never to lick anyone's buttt after WW2.
They have been testing their nuclear weapons since the 80s in the midst of controversies.
The French have had very embarrassing war records in the past just like every other world power.
It's just that the Brits make it a point of duty to rub it in their faces and being a former British colony, that's what we see.

[quote author=daz_york]"Advice" is also a plural noun so it is grammatically incorrect to attach the singular "a" or "an" to "advice". You should have said "I gave some candid advice" instead of adding "a".
Perhaps those Eastern schools did not do much for you.

Ask yourself, how come the pilot and those in the cockpit were arguing over the air worthiness of the plane without the passengers noticing? Is the cockpit that enclosed that the passengers in the front role could not hear the "argument?"
