Nursing abroad (Health & Medicine, 6 Aug, 2008)
wish Nurses in the United States could just get pregnant and leave the job. Doesn't work that way over here, you have a child, you pay for it. No social leverage with a child.

Klaus takes views on U.S. tour (News, 8 Oct, 2008)
You said "Klaus called it an ?incredible question? and said the real cause of the crisis was over-regulation of the market ? a conclusion almost no one in this country has drawn."

That is a PATENTLY BIASED view. There are many, many, Americans.... if not not the majority.... who believe that Government regulation by creating the Community Reinvestment Act REQUIRING banks to make loans to ill-suited borrowers, was in fact, the proximate cause of this meltdown.

Your reporting is less than objective and shows the bias of the U.S. West Coast has infected your reporting !!!

And what is a point of this inane sophistry?

The author obviously likes Vaclav Havel(not hard thing to do)and dislikes unorthodox(in today's politically correct world)views of Vaclav Klaus.The author has right to his "impeccable superiority complex",yet,is mired in smallmindness.

Locals protest metro station closure (News, 1 Oct, 2008)
I work near the station. While I understand it will disrupt the public and their daily commution. I strongly believe this station needs to be completely refurbished. It will also be a good opportunity to stop the homeless people from loitering around the station and dirtying the area. The smell of urine goes right up to the entrance of Tesco and the station is in delapidation.

I think people should survive 16 months without the station if we consider these points. Surely people don't want to have to smell urine as they pass the station.

I think the city should make this public area more green. I don't think the city needs another shopping/office/residential centre.

Amid the crises, a time for reconsideration (Opinion, 1 Oct, 2008)
When and if the Czech Parliament ratifies the missile defense agreement the pact should receive the same consideration that the US Senate's quite recent September 26 ratification of the NATO treaty making Albania and Croatia NATO members received.

The Czech Parliament considers the "missile defense pact" a treaty and as such are debating it in October and have announced that they will not vote on it until after the US elections.
Of course, anything can change.
The issue is even more pertinent at the moment in view of the meltdown of the US financial infrastructure as well as the deteriorating physical infrastructure in the US. The two cannot be separated and in my view are integrally connected to US national security.
The issue of the missile defense system and the Bush administration doing an end-run around the US Constitution's advise and consent provisions is yet another indication of the Bush administration's total disregard for the US Constitution.

American citizens need to be aware that as soon as the "missile defense pact" passes the Czech Parliament it could be enacted into law unless the US Senate objects
and American citizens object.

Of course, things have changed. The US economy is now the wild card in this whole equation and the possibility of the missile defense system appears increasingly irrelevant in view of the shrinking US economy.

Voices from the darkness (News, 1 Oct, 2008)
Pakistan should quit this war immidiatly as it is resulting in domestic voilence & unrest. No matter it is Zardari or any other Army General all have the same agenda to protect amercian interests at the cost of national security. Marriot incident shows how weak this so called democratic potical setup is & will collapse in near future!!

Amid the crises, a time for reconsideration (Opinion, 1 Oct, 2008)
The PP ascribes to "luck" the fact that the CR enjoys "a strong crown" and a stable stock market. Apparently, the PP hasn't considered the possibility that it isn't luck, but rather free-market policies that the PP has been deploring since, well, 1992.

Of course, anytime a government does something with which the PP disagrees, the PP ascribes it to a failure of "leadership." Hey, I was always told that "leadership" often meant doing the unpopular thing. What happened?

Defending the dead (News, 21 May, 2008)
In trying to learn of my own heritage and in doing a lot of reading I discovered a lot of sickening facts. To further my astonishment I discovered it is still going on today. It should never be referred to "as the Romani problem" but rather the
the "problem of the Czech mentality". If any knows where to obtain a list of victims of Lety / Aushwitz please let me know. I wish to see if any family members were on that list.

Locals protest metro station closure (News, 1 Oct, 2008)
The place next to the station was kept in bad condition in order to provide a reason for another bad project. This area needs some green space, perhaps including a water feature, very badly. Definitely not another commercial project, with all its corporate drones and parking spaces. Pollution is just as bad for the children of ODS politicians as it is for anyone else.

Developing crisis (Business, 24 Sep, 2008)
Thanks, Stephan.

I was thinking about wheter it is profitable to buy property in Prague. Many sources say "yes". So this article was the perfect opportunity to check it out.

This article is very helpful both for businessmen and ordinary buyers, like me :)

Cheers!

Let my people go (Opinion, 1 Oct, 2008)
This is the most biased and chauvinist article I had the misfortune to read! Not only does it promote racism towards the Serbs (Russians, Chinese etc) but also marginalizes the role of international law and standards. I would like to remind you that 50% of the current population of Kosovo has immigrated into the province after WWII because their own country- Albania, the least developed state of Europe and the northern hemisphere- could not provide them with dignifying life. You also forgot to mention that Kosovo Albanians have evicted 200,000 Serbs (60%!!!) from the province during the last decade! m.p.

Let my people go (Opinion, 1 Oct, 2008)
In reference to your last paragraph: Imagine this... A couple, John and Susan. They have been together for a few years and now Susan wants to leave John. Except Susan has been living in John's house and hasn't paid any rent! Meanwhile, next door to them are Susan's family, where she came from! Are you telling me that John should leave his own house and give it up to Susan? I sincerely believe that Susan should go back to her family and get out of John's house! Remember, no one is holding Susan back and making her stay in John's house! By her staying, does not mean that she should be able to take John's home.

Let my people go (Opinion, 1 Oct, 2008)
It is painfully obvious that the writer knows little about Tibet. The Dalai Lama has explicitly stated that he is not interested in a political position, and the TGIE has a democratic constitution providing for an elected government that could be implemented in a free Tibet in the future. Tibet has a long history of independence, a distinct culture (not just in terms of religion) from China, and has endured more than its fair share of suffering at the hands of the Beijing regime. Tibet is NOT ruled as if it were just another province, it is under the most oppressive rule within China, save perhaps for Xinjiang. The TGIE asks for autonomy within China at this point, because it is the only practical option as China is a much more populous and stronger nation. However, young Tibetans and many within Tibet are growing more restless, and rejecting the moderate approach of the TGIE. China's rise would not be affected if Tibet were independent, China is a populous and strong nation, and although Tibet is large in terms of territory, it is not (nor could ever be) military threat to China. Nor does Tibet contain anything critical for the Chinese economy, and in fact appears to cost China more to occupy than the profits China does get from exploiting Tibet's resources. Most of us who support Tibet's rightful quest for freedom are not interested in seeing China weakened as a nation nor as a society. It is clearly in the interests of the world that China become more open minded and integrated with the rest of the world, and that won't happen if Chinese living standards don't improve and more of its people escape from poverty. So to confuse the widespread support for Tibet with the rather limited opposition to China's rise is a mistake.

Let my people go (Opinion, 1 Oct, 2008)
The author barely has any ideas why Tibet should be independent? Why do Tibetans demand Independence? Why do Tibetans sacrifice for their independence? The author barely has minimium understanding about China's present colonial rule in Tibet. Here I want to shed some light on this issue so the author could able to understand his own prejudices and ignorance about the subject he is supposed to have some basic understanding and fair judgement as he himself portray as an expert or academic (maybe phd is just a title where stupid people use as a credential to lie more...who know? just check the reality!).

The author argued that Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile is fighting for their own power and return to theocracy. This is not true and the author's information is from Chinese propaganda machine and western leftists view of Tibet. The future of Tibet should be decided by all Tibetans, no one else, forget armchair revolutionaries like this author.
Dalai Lama did not think himself reincarnated, however it is true that Tibetans think he is a reincarnate being of Bodhisattva of limitless compassion, chen-re-sig. Again, to understand this concept, one must be educated or at least should have a basic understanding of Tibetan Buddhism. You cannot make a jugdement when you are ignorant about the subject you study.

Other thing that the author argued about Tibet is, how Tibet will function and how the economy will work out. We Tibetans will not come to your door and ask you to empty your wallet for us. To you, maybe the question of Tibet is a scoring of geo-political points, for us, it is matter of facts, survival, and justice.

The author also argumed that China imposed bureacracy in Tibet as rest of China. This is a total false and showcase the writer's ignorance on the issue. Bureaucracy is everywhere, in any countries. Yes, there is bureacracy in China, however, in Tibet, East Turkistan, and Inner Mongolia, it is not just an imposition of China's enlightened bureacracy (which the author assumes), rather a colonial rule where inhabitants are oppressed in day to day life.
