Year of the dagron?

Everything's coming up Redskins!

Year of the dragon you say?

I will take a plane to China and impregnate as many Chinese woman as I can.

Year of the dagon?

Asia, Asia or China Asia

It's a rip off. One of my kids is a dragon baby and can't breath fire or anything. Total gip.

/the ram likes to run into things though, so I guess that one worked

Actually, given the shape of its population pyramid after so many years of the one-child policy, China might need those kids to take care of all the old people. China is going to be a very old country in 30 years.

Any asian woman who needs help creating little baby dragons can send me an email.

I have personally impregnated over 10,000 Asian women

Khaleesi!

and if your an endangered animal of any kind ... RUNNNNNNNNNN

The Great Hunt was amazing. After that the series became progressively more boring.
(Which sucks because I really liked the first two)

Read cliffnotes, then pick it back up at 11 (aka where Jordan figured out that he had to advance the plot) or 12(where Sanderson took over).

/Also, if anyone ever cares to do a "Just the bits with Matt" for books 4-10, that would totally be worth reading.

I was born in a dragon year and I can assure you that my peers and I are only slightly better than the rest of you. Do not panic, non dragon year babies can still grow up to be healthy, happy and productive adults.

Actually... it does.



China has a HUGE working population... now. BUT WHAT HAPPENS when they get old and it's time to retire? You have millions upon millions of chinese unable to work and getting benefits. And with the One Child policy reducing the number of the next generation, who's gonna pay for all those benefits?

30 years from now, the average chinese worker will be paying 70% of his income in taxes to support these old chinese, who will be literally filling the streets.

There is this weird thing about the chinese culture, they tend to save money compared to Americans. I wish out government helped encourage saving rather than this pyramid scheme.

Insert Asian fetish here

Heh. It's already happening here. There are a substantial number of pregnant ethnic Chinese women in my building ready to give birth after the end of the month.

I would tell you the term I was used in a GIS when I found this picture but I'm afraid I'd be branded "damaged goods".

Bah

For the sake of the country they will be painlessly and humanely put down.
Unless you are part of the ruling elite of course.

A Terrible Human: Giving birth to a dragon would seem painful.

My mom had to get a C-section, does that count?

Mugato: A recent poll conducted in Hong Kong revealed that 70% of couples desired "dragon babies,"

"We have dwagon baby! Oh it is girl. We throw in dumpster. Try Twy again."

/just to keep with the theme?

Bahamut last sighted over Beijing.

Dovahkiin?

They get turned into pork dumplings.

我本来打算让一个诙谐的评论，但后来我在膝盖中弹箭头

So, which one is the Dovakhiin?

Is there any shot in hell this could turn into a "hot Asian pics" thread?

/pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease!!!!

Yes and no. They'll have to figure out some way to support the oldies. And, seriously, if you think workplace discrimination is bad in the US, China has is beat. You can't be the insane 12-hour-on/12-hour-off robot the export sector needs past 40. You're a wrecked shaking shell of a person by then. And so you're expected to go back to your rural village (since you were never allowed to be an official residence of the coastal manufacturing centers in the first place).

But, there's no legally mandated safety net. Not through taxation. The oldsters get cared for by guilt-tripping the youngins. When the youngins stop sending money back? That's when it all goes to hell.

I was born in 1964, the year of the Wood Dragon. We're supposed to be innovative, creative and able to get along with everyone. I wish.

If they want a baby boom they better start building cheaper apartments over there...

"70% of [Chinese] women require house before marriage."

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2012-01/05/content_14386646.htm

And that "80 percent of single women believe only men who make more than 4,000 yuan($634) a month deserve to have a relationship with a woman" bit should be read with the understanding that the average college graduate in China won't be making that salary without a few years experience.

I really don't think their birth rate is going anywhere for quite a while.

The chinese are srsbznz about that stuff, man. I've had at least one girl who a (female) friend was trying to set me up with who was interested until she found out my chinese zodaic sign, and then it was story over because the combination was inauspicious.

/i know, I know, it was just an excuse etc etc

Mugato: WTF is a wood dragon? The first time he breathes fire, he's farked.

The Chinese Zodiac has 2 rotating phases. It rotates through the more well-known 12 animal signs every (duh) 12 years, but there's also 5 elements that it rotates through every time those 12 years rotate through. The elements, iirc, are wood, water, earth, metal and fire.

This means that your individual actual Chinese Zodaic animal sign only comes around once every 60 years.

Mugato: WTF is a wood dragon? The first time he breathes fire, he's farked.

The dragon breathes wood.

There's no such thing as dragon babies anymore. Everyone knows the last appearance of one was it the 80s.



/ hot like the glow
// who's the masta?

I don't know, he looks pretty bad ass to me.

So... China is Skyrim?
