DSC Posted August 16, 2004 at 10:12 PM Report Posted August 16, 2004 at 10:12 PM I have a friend leaving for Iraq soon. I want to get her a ring, with a good proverb engraved in Chinese. Something like "Dark clouds cover blue skies, but light shines down on those brave enough to find it." (And if somebody could translate that for me ) Thx. Quote
skylee Posted August 16, 2004 at 10:51 PM Report Posted August 16, 2004 at 10:51 PM Consider - 撥開雲霧見青天 - part the clouds and fog and you will see the blue sky Quote

pazu Posted August 17, 2004 at 06:31 AM Report Posted August 17, 2004 at 06:31 AM Just a bit curious, what's your friend going to do in IraQ? Quote
DSC Posted August 19, 2004 at 04:29 AM Author Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 04:29 AM Shes in the Army National Guard. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE FACT THAT SHES GOING. Its bullsh!t. But she has no choice. She'll be gone for at least a year, 18 months tops. I love her very much, but this is the hand fate has dealt me. Yea it sucks. Quote
Quest Posted August 19, 2004 at 04:38 AM Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 04:38 AM Bush's fault, but I seem to hate Rumsfeld more. I can't stand that face of his: http://images.google.com/images?q=rumsfeld&ie=UTF-8&hl=en Quote
xuechengfeng Posted August 19, 2004 at 05:41 AM Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 05:41 AM Why does he always have some kind of claw going on with his hands? I don't get it? Each and every person associated with Bush, who is in the public eye makes me absolutely sick to hear them speak. They are armchair generals, who would never send their own children to fight this war on "terrorism." Too bad John Kerry sucks too, our country is doomed regardless for the next 4 years. Quote
bhchao Posted August 19, 2004 at 06:03 AM Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 06:03 AM Anyone but Dumbya in November. I don't like Kerry either, but at least he will provide rational leadership. Quote
Claw Posted August 19, 2004 at 07:38 AM Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 07:38 AM Why does he always have some kind of claw going on with his hands? I don't get it? Speaking of Rumsfeld's hands... http://www.poe-news.com/features.php?feat=31845 Quote
bhchao Posted August 19, 2004 at 08:09 AM Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 08:09 AM Bush's fault, but I seem to hate Rumsfeld more.I can't stand that face of his: Quest, actually I can stand Rumsfield (even though I dislike his policies). Those pictures of Rumsfield are nothing. Check out these pictures of Bush. http://www.geocities.com/pearly9000/htmls/bush-faces.html Quote
skylee Posted August 19, 2004 at 09:50 AM Report Posted August 19, 2004 at 09:50 AM But she has no choice. Why? She is not drafted, is she? Quote
DSC Posted August 20, 2004 at 01:31 AM Author Report Posted August 20, 2004 at 01:31 AM No, but shes in the military so she does not have a real "choice". If she decides not to go, then she can be put in jail for up to 5 years. Its sad really. She signed up in the Spring of 01, then in the Fall September 11 happens. She never anticipated going off to war, but I think no one does. And since that time, I have grown to love her. Why is it when two Chinese people fall in love, it is doomed to failure? Maybe thats just in the movies. Thx for the replies. Quote
DSC Posted August 21, 2004 at 08:45 AM Author Report Posted August 21, 2004 at 08:45 AM Also can someone translate this into characters;"Smile when you think of me". Thx. Quote
