the Chinese have been negotiating with the French and Germans to set up a large Airbus manufacturing facility in mainland China. Once China gets its Airbus manufacturing plant, then it can build Super Jumbo Water Airbuses to carry millions of gallons of water daily from Nepal to China. your little country is in jeopardy of becoming China's next *watering hole*. |

the Chinese are already desperately in need of more fresh water. The entire southwestern region of China has been in drought. The Yangztze River is way down and large boats can't even travel down it. In addition, the river is horribly polluted just like all the rest of the main rivers in China. it's going tp take more than Nepalese prayer wheels to stop the Chinese from coming for your water. |

I would like very much to see the results of a study such as that, or maybe male vs female. I stop for all that need help. I take no payment even when it is offered. I leave them with one request though and that is the next time they see someone in need of help that they stop. What goes around comes back around. |

truck drivers are usually particularly good at stopping for motorists in distress. |

Coming from a large city, I will say I was shocked at how racist Dubuque is. Not just with their racist codewords (Those people from Chicago = blacks for example) but outright hostility towards non whites. And yes I am white, and no I am not from Chicago.
By the way, the fact that people here openly use Guinea Grinder as a sandwich name, an ethnic slur as a sandwich name, shows me how painfully unsophisticated and racist Dubuquers are. And only in Dubuque would I be asked "do all those kids have the same dad"? For such a judgmental bunch, they sure have lax morals when it comes to childbearing. My daughter was told we live in a ghetto because we live near blacks. We live in a nice home on a nice block in a decent neighborhood but kids on the west end call it a ghetto. They also make fun of her disabled little brother. One kid on the bus worships Hitler and hates Jews. Going to the administration just got her in more trouble. There are good things about Dubuque but tolerance isn't one of them. It is unbelievably racist and bigoted. |

sorry to hear that some of your experiences in Dubuque have not been pleasant. In your opinion, what should be done to help teach Dubuquers better racial tolerance? |

they came pretty close to getting it right but I believe they still held back from backing it a 10+ hot. Guess they're afraid of potential liability problems for burning up an American customer. |
