Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).

I don’t actually live in China, but I’m from a Chinese background and visit Hong Kong quite regularly. I don’t know how accurate it is in reflecting China, but it does resonate a lot with what my mother said to me almost exactly a year ago: “We [Chinese] might seem to be less accepting, but I think we sometimes try harder [to understand/accept/cope].”
It was just after we came home from a formal dinner with the elementary graduating class, who were predominantly caucasian, and perhaps more specifically with WASP-y influences. For all the rights that queer communities have won in Canada, the systemic alienation that entire night was rather suffocating. I had never mentioned anything either - it was just that I had worn a tux.
Well we have to respect people regardless of their
race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender etc
They are also human beings, so human right & freedom
