Americans may be uppity. But they've contributed greatly to innovations used by the world.

The West is always busy fulminating its earthly cohabiting nations.

Where do the Western countries' strengths come from? It seems to be that their justice systems are always upheld and trusted by common people.

Where's all that dodgy Chinese money? In Switzerland?

Southern Asia is inflicted by high rates of acid attacks.

What a tragedy.

Acid throwing victim, Cambodia 

These attacks are most common in Cambodia,[8] Afghanistan,[9] India,[10] Bangladesh,[5][6] Pakistan[5] and other nearby countries.[7] Globally, at least 1500 people in 20 countries are attacked in this way yearly,

It's lucky for a working person to have a shopping district in her backyard.

Down with the way Google's treating consumers nowadays.

Google Reader's shutting down. The party's over. Google's offering public service no more.
