Kid Rock was born Robert James Ritchie on January
17th, 1971. He was the third of 4 childern.
At the age of 6 Bob’s parents liked to
throw parties and hayrides. After the whole party was druck off their ass, they would ask Bob to come and entertain them.
He grew up in Romeo, Michigan. A small town with not much to do, so he got in trouble a lot.
He ran away from home when he was 17. He was also raised in a catholic home where he was expected to go to church every Sunday.
Some of his chores when he was young included taking care of the horses and cutting the grass.
He signed his first contract with Jive
Records in 1990 with the release of Grits Sandwiches For Breakfast. Soon after he got an opening act on a 40 city national tour
of Ice-Cube and Too Short.
In 1993 he singned on with Continuum Records. Where he produced The Polyfuze Method. And then in 1994 Fire It Up.
In 1996 he produced Early Morning Stoned Pimp under his own label Top Dog. And the went on to produce The Polyfuze Method Revisited in 1997. He was picked up by Atlantic Records in 1998 and produced Devil Without A Cause.
He has just released his 6th CD under the Atlantic label History Of Rock. In my oppinion this man has worked his ass off to get where he is today and he deserves all of recognition he is receiving.
If you have ever seen him live and watched him play every instrument on stage like I have, you would agree that he is 100% True Blooded, Raw Boned, American Talent.
We all are
hoping for History Of Rock to go Diamond!
We love ya Bob....Goodluck!!!

fuck fuck fuck... fuck fuck
you!
In the report you are about to read,
you will learn about Taiwan, a country
currently under the rule of the Republic of
China. Taiwan, even under rule of the ROC,
has had a big influence on many countries
across the world. While reading this report
you will learn how Taiwan influences other
countries and also about the history of
Taiwan.
First, let me tell you about Taiwan’s
government. Their constitution was written
in 1946. Their government is made up of five
sections, or branches. The five branches are
the executive, legislative, judicial, control
and examination branches. Taiwan’s most
important government official is their
president, who serves a six -year term. The
National Assembly elects the president. The
president selects the prime minister, who
runs the executive branch/council. Taiwan’s
National Assembly is made up of 405 members
who serve to make new laws for Taiwan. The
members each serve a six-year term. Taiwan’s
“National Peoples’ Party” controls the Nansha
island groups of Kinmen, Matsu and Tungsha.
The provinces of Taipei and Kaoshiung both
govern themselves. The provincial assembly is
the highest type of self-government in
Taiwan. The citizens of Taiwan elected the
leaders of their provinces and cities.
Taiwan was originally settled by
people of Malay-Polynesian descent. They
ruled the coastal plains of Taiwan. They then
named their island Pakan. In the seventeenth
century a Dutch ship came to Taiwan, and the
people settled in Taiwan from 1624 to 1661.
Koxinga, a Ming dynasty government official,
kicked the Dutch out of Taiwan. Later some
Manchu soldiers from China kicked Koxinga out
of Taiwan in 1683. The new Manchu had called
themselves “inland people,” because they had
little knowledge of offshore lands and even
less skill at naval warfare. The Manchu, the
ruling group of China, controlled Taiwan
until the 1880’s. In these years, migration
from China to Taiwan rose dramatically. By
the nineteenth century China hardly had
influence in Taiwan. An example of that is
that in the 1870’s, the Taiwanese pirates
captured American, French, and Japanese
ships. The government of Mainland China
protested to Pakan (Taiwan), but the Manchu
emperor of Pakan would not listen to the
Mainland Chinese government. From 1895 to
1945 Japan controlled Taiwan. In 1945 Japan
was defeated by China and other nations in
World War II. China was now in control of
Taiwan. Then in 1949 Chiang-Kai-Shek, Chinese
communists who took control of Mainland
China, forcing him to move to Taiwan,
defeated the leader of the Chinese
Nationalists Party. Today, Taiwan is still
controlled by the Chinese Nationalists, and
Mainland China is still controlled by the
Chinese communists.
Taiwan’s average rainfall is above 100
inches per year. The average temperature in
the summer is 80 degrees. In the winter, the
average temperature is 65 degrees. Monsoons
in the summer bring strong winds, but
monsoons during the winter bring rain and
cooler weather. Typhoons hit Taiwan almost
every year.
The population of Taiwan in 1985 was
19, 113, 093- larger than the populations of
Australia and New Zealand combined. The
Chinese population of Taiwan in 1985 covered
98.5% of the whole population. Most of the
residents of Taiwan speak Chinese, but some
residents speak English.
Taiwan has a variety of plants on its
island. In Taiwan’s past, much of the island
was covered with trees. This island has over
200 varieties of trees, which people can use.
Now, that’s a lot of trees! Two of the most
popular trees on the island are bamboo and
acacia trees. Taiwan’s people also grow
varieties of fungi, which they use for
medical purposes.
There are many different types of
animals on the island, too. You can find
deer, wild pigs, monkeys and many other
animals. There are 37 varieties of snakes on
the island of Taiwan, ten of which are
poisonous. If you absolutely love
butterflies, visit Taiwan. They have many
beautiful types of butterflies on their
island. Many Taiwanese people make a living
by catching fish in the waters surrounding
Taiwan.
Taiwan and Pescadores islands cover
13,000 square miles combined, not including
the Matsu and Quemoy island groups. The Matsu
and Quemoy island groups are part of the
mainland of China.
Taiwanese law requires that all
children must go to elementary school for six
years, and they must also go to a high school
for at least three years.
Just about half of all Taiwanese
people practice a religion that mixes
Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, a local
religion only. 42 percent of Taiwanese people
are Buddhists, and 8 percent are Christians.
Almost all of the Taiwanese people
live on the coastal plain that is the western
part of the island. About one fifth of the
Taiwanese people farm the land of the island.
Mostly all of the Taiwanese farmhouses are
made of brick, with tile roofs, and their
central courtyards are made of packed earth
or of cement. Most Taiwanese farmers wear
cone-shaped hats, which are made of straw.
The Taiwanese city residents speak
various Chinese dialects, but mostly all
Taiwanese city residents use Mandarin, the
official Chinese dialect. Most of Taiwan’s
city residents wear western-style clothing.
Downtown Taipei, Taiwan, has a park
and art museum. A large hotel tower rises
above modern office buildings. Taipei is the
capital and also the largest city in Taiwan.
Some of Taipei’s landmarks include
Chiang-Kai-Shek’s memorial hall, the Lung
Shan Temple, believed to be the biggest
Buddhist temple in Taipei, and the Grand
Hotel, which looks like an ancient Chinese
palace. Taipei has large department stores
and bazaars. There are many universities in
Taipei, including National Taiwan University,
National Taiwan Normal University and
National Chengchi University.
About 90 percent of all Taiwanese
residents can both read and write. Taiwan’s
literacy rate is one of the highest in the
world.
Taiwan’s economy depends mainly on
manufacturing and trade with other countries.
Taiwanese factories mainly produce
calculators, textiles, iron, steel, toys,
sugar, sporting equipment, televisions,
radios, and paper. Taiwan mostly trades with
The United States, Japan, Germany, and Hong
Kong.
Only about one fourth of Taiwan’s land
can be farmed. Farmers harvest two or three
crops in one year from only one field. Main
crops grown by Taiwan: asparagus, bananas,
citrus fruits, corn, mushrooms, peanuts,
pineapples, and more corn than anything else
is grown on the island of Taiwan in average
farm fields owned by Taiwanese farmers.
Taiwanese fishers mainly catch shrimp,
snapper, eel, tuna, carp and many other fish.
Carp and eel are usually caught in inland
China ponds.
Taiwan has plenty of good roads,
including an expressway that connects Taipei
and Kaosiung. Taiwan has an average of one
car per every thirty people. Taiwan has an
excellent bus service, and several railroad
lines, which are operated by the government.
About thirty newspapers are published daily
in Taiwan, and most Taiwanese families own a
television set and at least one radio, if not
more than one.

That I thought was some what obvious
Taiwan's history, most of which
intertwinded politically.
'Fucking politically minded

I would say more about this comment if I
could find some minute fragment of sense in
it.
'Quit posting all this

freaks.'
Demonstrative? That was a mear highly
educational insight into Taiwan's history.
I think that I just found the reason to the
lack of inteligence of isound; the highly
collective,seeming at times extremely
contagous abiltity, and fairly primitave
ability to, not take in knowledge serve
easily on a gold-coated platter.
'Str8upmenace'
Straightupmenace not very menacing at all. | i_stand_alone | | what the fuck this is some fucked up shit | sexy_babe451 | | | |
