Do you know, that the combined number of nuclear weapons the United States and Russia have is enough to destroy the Earth six times over? That means that if US and Russia released their nuclear weapons, the force is enough to destroy 6 Earths. Dangerous isn't it?

If a bus breaks down in Singapore, the Singaporean passengers will get out and wait for another bus.

If a bus breaks down in US, the American passengers will get out, push the bus excitedly, and talk about it as they push. Once they get back on the bus, they continue to talk about it, even though they may be complete strangers.

If a bus breaks down in Taiwan, the Taiwanese passengers will get out and push the bus, but they will keep complaining,, They will start cursing everyone they think is responsible - the bus company, the traffic Police, even the bus. Once it is over, they will call up the news and report the incident.

If a bus breaks down in France, the French passengers will get out and start a riot.

If a bus breaks down in China, the adults will remain seated while the children go out and push the bus. When the children have finished pushing and have come back on the bus, the adults will occupy all the seats, so the children will not be able to seat. When the children become adults, they will do the same thing. The whole thing repeats itself.

This only shows - different people, different reactions!
