    Poll: Can Taiwanese be considered as Chinese

    And it wasn't the communist against the non-communist. It was more the KMT (kaomintang) against the Taiwanese. I'm using Taiwanese in this instance for the people who emigrated to Taiwan during the Ming dynasty, not the aboriginal people.

    Do u take multivitamins?

    Yes. I take a vitamin almost daily. All women who are of child-bearing age, sexually active and not using child prevention should be taking a vitamin. If not that at least something that gives them the required folic acid dosage.

    Why Is Punctuality So Ambiguous For Women?

    I'm female and I hate being late for anything and am usually 5min early. Altho, it came from my mom always being late when I grew up.

    When you were in HS...

    POLL: Should the US step up if Taiwan gets attacked?

    Legally the US has to defend Taiwan if China attacks. It was enacted 10 April 1979, Taiwan Relations Act. This was passed when US moved official recognition of "China" from Taipei to Beijing (Peking). As to whether China has legit "rights" to claim Taiwan as a province or not is debatable...

    Did dual monitors feel weird when you first tried it out?

    Don't you hate it when the car behind you honks at you to make a turn...

    Not sure the laws where you live. But here if you have a red light and want to turn right, you need to come to a complete stop. Same is true if you have a stop sign. Only time you don't have to come to a complete stop is if you have a yield sign. I've known plenty of people who got ticketed...

    Don't you hate it when the car behind you honks at you to make a turn...

    timezone confusion: on which day and on what time will the new president be elected?

    Sorta like how some newspapers printed and released their copy with headlines of Dewey wins and in truth Truman won the election. ;-)
