oakland county

A county in southeast Michigan that is supposedly the second richest county in America, and is reknowned for being overly snobby and preppy.

I can almost sympathize with this definition, that is, if it was entirely true, as I live in the NOT so preppy part, a.k.a the nearly shitty ghetto area thats on the edge of East Detroit.

Other than the MAJOR demographic differences of the county (closer you get to Detroit, the population of Caucasians decreases) and economics (the closer you get to Detroit, the shittier the environment gets), everything about the sex and drugs is pretty much the same.
Take it from someone who lives in one of the crappier areas of Oakland County: it not what it's all cracked up to be. No pun intended.

Tourette Syndrome

America's latest example of a double negative, along with Islam.
We can all laugh at HIV, AIDS, cancer, and a legion of other STDs and mental disorders, but - God forbid - we can't ever get away with making fun of some kid saying "FUCKING ASS LICKER" 20 times in twelve minutes.

That's Tourette Syndrome for ya.

Sino-Japanese Wars

Sino meaning "China".

There were actually two wars: The First Sino-Japanese War was from 1894 to 1895. The Second Sino-Japanese War overlapped World war II from 1931 to 1945.

The First Sino-Japanese war was between Qing Dynasty China and Meiji Japan over the control of Korea. Because of the newly modernized Japan after the end of the three hundred year Tokugawa (Edo) Period, and the deterioation of the Qing Dynasty and its government, China lost to Japan and recognized the independence of Korea, and the last dynasty of China ended in 1912.

From there, China and Korea were under Japanese control, and so would begin many years of oppression and forced cultural assimilation from the Japanese.

The Second Sino-Japanese War began much later, between the Rupublic of China and the Empire of Japan, and was commonly known in China as "The War of Resistance Against Japan", because by this time, the Chinese were fed up with the Japanese in their country and wanted to rid China of foreign rule because of a rise in nationalism and self determination. The Second Sino-Japanese War was the largest asiatic war of the twentieth century.

Foreign aide, much from the United States, came to help China after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

Many plans were suppose to be put to action to secure regions of resistance in China, but after the droppings of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan finally surrender.

The Chinese victory of the Second Sino-Japanese War strengthen communist and socialist views, and the People's Republic of China was formed soon after. However, because of years of oppression that were brought upon China and Korea by Japanese imperialist policy, and several war crimes committed by the Japanese Imperial Army (including mass killings, experimentation, starvation, rape and sexual slavery (see comfort women), forced labor, cannibalism, chemical weapons, looting, and torture) many Chinese and Koreans (as well as denizens of countries that were occupied by Japan such as Indonesia, the Phillipines, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Dutch East Indies, etc.) harbor bitter resentments toward the Japanese to this day, and no amount of compensation or apologies will ever cleanse the wounds entirely...
The Sino-Japanese Wars brought about some of the most drastic changes to Far East Asia. Following the wars, many countries became communist, some split, some united, some rose from poverty to become some of the most powerful nations in the world, while others are still developing, and whole lot of them still hate the Japanese
with a passion. What makes a lot of people - many of whom have experienced the horrors of the wars - angry is the fact that many Japanese textbooks refuse to mention any of this important and incriminating history.

Now what do you think about that, you Wapanese morons?

tamahome

the most goregous anime guy ever! was brought to life by talented shoujo manga artist, yuu watase.

tamahome is the main male character in the anime/manga Fushigi Yugi and is one of the Suzaku Seven, one who must protect the preistess of suzaku, Miaka. He has the "oni" or "ogre" symbol on his forehead and he has the special power of possessing all martial art skills and throwing "chi blasts". after all the shit that the enemy put Miaka and Tamahome through, Tamahome is reincarnated into miaka's world as "taka".
Unfortunately for me, Tamahome and Miaka have the hots for each other so my anime self has no chance with him. but thats just creatively speaking. -_-

aids

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

a very serious STD caused by the retrovirus HIV. it can be transmitted by semen, breastmilk, blood and vaginal fluid. u cannot get it from huggin or kissin or shakin hands. AIDS eventually kills of ur white blood cells and when they go, ur immune system goes. technically, AIDS doesnt kill u. its the sickness u get when ur immune system is destroyed (like the cold or the flu. in the 80s and early 90s when the disease was first discovered (i think), ppl thought is was only transmitted through homosexuals and that it was a curse on them. its not though. it can be transmitted to homos, straight ppl and even lil babies...

although new medicine and technology help expand the life span for AIDS patients, there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS.
i still have hope that man will find the cure for AIDS and all of these diseases. in the meantime, u shouldnt discriminate against ppl who have it. its hard enough for them as it is so lay off!
