As I joke, I asked my boyfriend, "Dahling, the soldiers assume the task this time is a holiday to Africa ... or what?"
He did not answer but instead he laughed harder. "What did you say? Holidays? While carrying a gun? ahahaha ... "
I did not answer him but instead looked at him with a quizzical expression, as I feel he has addressed two issues in one of my questions. Perhaps because he felt awkward for laughing alone, then he stopped laughing and stared back at me. I tried to wink, but you know ... I can not do it. What happens was my eyes blink both. Felt so idiot. Finally, I laughed. I laughed because he stopped laughing.
If you come from the military, then you have a gun is like having your lover when you are away from your wife. There is no awkwardness if you enjoy the atmosphere of a vacation in your military duty. But if you are not a member of the military and you go on vacation while you carry a gun, ... ehehehhee .... What did you say? Vacation? Do you really want to vacation? Want to really relax? Do you know that what's in your hands can make your holiday mood will be not be relaxed but scary? By always carry a gun with you, you make your holiday mood into the atmosphere on the battlefield.

I wonder.If the answerer answers the questions from the interviewer, then the answerer sentenced. Meanwhile, the questioner was not sentenced. ... ehehehhe ... and they proclaim that the person who has been questioned has been sentenced. Dang! .... Without the plea of the asker at all? He answered their questions because he was asked, didn't he? Why they ask in such a way as to make him get caught? eheheh.... can you feel that sometimes the question has provided its own answer before you ask it to others?

► 101 East - Down and Under. Published on Feb 7, 2013 :: Australia is one of the richest nations in the world. Yet there is a growing poverty gap which can be seen in suburbs like Claymore. The New South Wales government built this public housing estate in the 1970s and filled it with people from Sydney's poorest families, creating a welfare ghetto. Today, Claymore is one of the most disadvantaged suburbs in Australia with the highest proportion of young children anywhere in the country. But poverty in wealthy Australia is not limited to Claymore. According to surveys and reports, 2.2 million Australians live below the poverty line, while more than 600,000 children under 15 live in households where no one has a job. 101 East hears the heart-wrenching stories of the economically disadvantaged children from modern Australia and asks why the cycle of poverty has not been cracked in this rich nation.

► Listening Post - News media: The new frontline. Published on Feb 9, 2013 :: Hacking is nothing new. Some do it for profit, others for secrets. Self-styled "hacktivist" groups such as Anonymous do it for causes they believe in. But what if the target is a newspaper and the hackers have a grudge? On January 30, the New York Times revealed that hackers based in China had waged a four-month-long cyber onslaught against the paper soon after it published an article exposing the fortune amassed by the family of outgoing premier Wen Jiabao, a fortune that for the Chinese Communist Party has turned out to be -- quite literally -- an embarrassment of riches. Soon after the Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post admitted that they too had been attacked. Bloomberg News and Associated Press are also on the list of media outlets targeted by China-based hackers, raising the spectre of a new front in the global cyber war -- one that puts journalists and their sources in the firing line.
