Q: This missing plane gets sadder and sadder.

Not really a question, but as more comes out about the missing plane it just gets sadder and sadder. Just read that one of the stolen passports was used by a 19yr old kid trying to make his way to Europe in the hopes of a better life. Breaks my heart.

Yup. Exactly what I thought. His family probably paid thousands for that document.

It does , indeed, make me sad too. I just can't wait to hear that something has been found and there is an answer, logical and material one to something that it turned a mysteriously mystery. I think of all the souls who've lost someone dear among the victims of this aircrash, I think of the despair of the mothers who've seen their sons dead and of the kids left orphans.

 

As you said, dreams broken for some, family broken for most of them, hearts broken for all of those alive who were waiting for them to go home. 

 

I travel a lot, I fly a lot, I know what it means reaching the destination you're headed for. I pray God for the people who now suffer the loss of their dear ones.

  I couldn't really care less about them, we all die, God knows how many die every day from malnutrition and starvation and a million other reasons, why should I care about a bunch of plane crash victims just because those are the ones the papers tell me to care about? Fuck 'em, they're dead. I'd care if they had my beer, but they don't, I have it, right here, so life is good:) My advice is turn your attention to those who are still alive and in need of help instead of jerking off on the emotional pornography peddled by the press. It's a crock. People who lose their families are paraded in front of us for our own indulgent, morbid fascination with suffering and death. It's sheer voyeurism.

This 'emotional pornography' has definitely come at just the right time for the CCP. Before this everyone was stirred up about the killings in Kunming. And now... smells like a conspiracy, eh?

And here I thought the Kunming incident was the seeds for conspiracy nuttery

It is sad for the families involved, so many questions unanswered

but i care more for my close friend whose mother has just died. 

Even though it was natural causes, every death is inexplicable for those involved. 

some would probably say that makes me a bad person caring more for one person, than for many.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
