Why do the youth in Asia kill old and sick people?
I heard on a PBS special that the youth in Asia are killing (mostly old) people. Why is it the responsibility of the Asian youth to kill the patients. Surely that should be between the doctor and the patient? And why do they get Asian youth to do there bidding?

You think people don't kill old and sick people here?
2 :
wow your stupid.... its because the asian youth are natural born killers... they also know how to murder someone without getting caught so they hire them to kill the sick and the old to put them out of their misery...
3 :
Oh I didn't know that.
4 :
China, and just Asia in general has mostly communist countries. So nothing is between 2 people what ever the government says goes.
5 :
It's better than being stashed in a home for 30 years until they become vegetables.

What is the distance between Asia and Alaska?
What is the distance between Asia and Alaska?
I was just wondering. They actually look awfully close to each other. Also wondering if both of the two islands between Asia and Alaska belong to Alaska.

Russia is closer to Alaska. The Bearing streats are only 55 miles wide, and there are two islands in the middle, only 2.5 miles apart.....Big Diomede in Russian territory, and Little Diomede in Alaska. Asia is a huge continent with many countries, were in Alaska and Where in Asia would you like the distance measured from?

The previous answerer is correct am just gonna add a little trivia about the cold war since the was an 'ice curtain" type of relationship between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in fact U.S.S.R. as the previous answer said were only 2.5 miles apart During the Cold War, that gap constituted the border between the USA and the USSR, and became known as the "Ice Curtain". In 1987, however, Lynne Cox swam from one island to the other, and was congratulated by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan The U.S. island of Little Diomede or in its native language, Ignaluk (it is also known as Krusenstern Island, though this may also refer to other places), and The Russian island of Big Diomede (part of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug), also known as Imaqliq, Inaliq, Nunarbuk or Ratmanov Island. The Diomede Islands are located in the middle of the Bering Strait between mainland Alaska and Siberia, with the Chukchi Sea to the north and the Bering Sea to the south. 9.3 mi (15 km) to the southeast is Fairway Rock, which is generally not considered part of the Diomede Islands. The islands are sometimes called Tomorrow Island (Big Diomede) and Yesterday Isle (Little Diomede) because the time in Big Diomede is 20 hours (approximately a day) ahead of Little Diomede Big Diomede Island was traditionally the easternmost landmass before the International Date Line, and the first landmass to ring in a new year, if using local solar time. When using official time, a large area in eastern Russia, as well as New Zealand, shares the same time zone. New Zealand also has Daylight Saving time in effect during late December, but Russia does not (see time in New Zealand and time in Russia). Starting in 1995 however, the IDL was moved to the east of Kiribati and that country's easternmost time zone (GMT+14) is now the world's earliest. The native population of Big Diomede Island was relocated by the Soviet government to mainland Russia and the island is currently home to a small Russian military presence. Little Diomede has an Inupiat Inuit population of 170, mostly in the city of Diomede. This village has a school and a store. Some Inuit residents are famous for their ivory carving. Passenger travel and mail delivery is by helicopter, weather permitting

Are Canadians no different from Americans to people in Europe and Asia?
Are Canadians no different from Americans to people in Europe and Asia?
I'm a 17-year old from Canada, and some of my friends who have traveled through both Europe and Asia have told me that they are treated like uneducated hicks and called stupid Americans, even though they would prove they're Canadian. And these friends I'm talking about are some of the smartest people I know. Straight-A students in Canada's strong educational system. Do Euros and Asian's think the same of Canadians as they do Americans?

When Bush was president of USA, many people around the world thought all americans were as dumb as Bush and company. Obama, with Mrs Clinton's help has reversed much of that fuzzy thinking. Some young people are clannish and rude and the fact that your friends proved their nationality didn't change the closed minds of those people. When you start traveling the world on your own, you will discover that most people in most countries are friendly and courteous
2 :
Not necessarily. I'm European and to be honest, I know very little about Canada, other than it it next to America. I think the problem is that (and I know you will disagree) many people cannot tell the difference between the Canadian and American accent. Most people wouldn't judge you as a stupid American because not all Americans are stupid. I wouldn't worry, because most people are polite and well.mannered, and would not be so rude
