Don't talk nonsense, our cook pales in comparison to this!

The progress achieved still pales in comparison with the epidemic's spread and impact, especially on children and young people.

Yet each pales to insignificance with the completion of that magnificent accomplishment of twenty first century technology, the Digital Superhighway.

Yet, the international community allows poverty to destroy lives on a scale before which the impact of all of the world's natural disasters pales into insignificance.

When viewed through a human and global prism, we can see that the prosperity of the North pales in the shadow of the poverty of the South.

Productivity growth is not about working longer it is about generating more output per unit of labor input. Any undercounting of output pales in comparison with the IT assisted undercounting of working hours.

It is estimated that meeting the World Health Organization s interim standards could reduce damages by 80 per capita. But that pales in comparison to the 600 increase in per capita income in 2013.

Brazil and Indonesia also contribute a significant number of new cases. Compared to the numbers who fall ill with diseases such as HIV AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, however, leprosy almost pales into insignificance.

And to realize that this is just the tip of an iceberg that when you compare everything here to South Africa, it just pales, because in South Africa, each year 300,000 mothers with HIV give birth to children.

So oft it chances in particular men that for some vicious mole of nature in them, by the o'ergrowth of some complexion, oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason, or by some habit grown too much

The last thing China needs is more fiscal stimulus. Today s cyclical disruption pales in comparison to that of 2008 2009, and, unlike the fiscally reckless developed economies, China recognizes excessive government nbsp debt as a legitimate nbsp threat to sustainable growth and development.

NEW YORK The financial crisis has been uppermost in the minds of most world leaders. Yet, however high the price of a global bail out, we know one thing it pales next to the enormous costs and profound human consequences of delaying action on climate change.

But the importance of the distribution of seats pales in comparison to that of the longer term changes in Israeli politics implied by Kadima s victory.

Of course, with the Syrian regime s massacres of its own citizens, some in Israel say that the suffering of Gaza s inhabitants pales in comparison, and thus fails to attract the same sympathy as it did last year. But this should not obscure the overall diplomatic picture for Israel, which remains essentially negative.

Bush has tried to scare America about the magnitude of the problem, and he has tried to fool America about how privatization would solve it. The Social Security deficit pales by comparison with the deficits created by Bush s huge tax cuts for upper income Americans or in comparison with the deficit in Medicare, which provides health care for the aged.

It might have once, but the amount now pales in significance next to the 12 billion in economic assistance recently rushed to the generals by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. Certainly, the regime would resent withdrawal of this aid, as would most of the Brotherhood s civilian opponents but that matters less than the impact on American credibility, in the Middle East and the rest of the world, of not doing so.
