Really I'd rather not, but people having a variety of extremely violent crimes committed against them being ignored by police/security. I don't know how many ended in death but I'd guess at least one. The police deliberately didn't come several times, while security just literally turns the other way and pretends not to see so they don't have to do anything. Also, **** is basically not a crime. The girl shouldn't have been such a whore if she didn't want to get fucked, etc.


Everybody Kung Fu fighting!

Really? You're going to play the card that this sort of **** happens everywhere at some point in time, so it's OK? No worries about frequency/prevalence?

Read in the news today that the Chinese police authorities have decided to crack down on the open secret that is 'black jails', basically private illegal jails run by security firms who are in the employ of local councils. People who travel from rural areas to urban centres to protest are 'arrested' illegally by these private security forces on the orders of local councils, and then thrown into these black jails where all bets are off as to what happens.


this sounds like a movie i've seen...oh yea! Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky! Bad ass!

While we are still on the hate China bandwagon I will post some pro-American propaganda: http://www.thefryecompany.com/leather-and-craftsmanship/
No doubt some of you will enjoy the above video, of course there is absolutely no reason why such boots cannot be made in China and still be of excellent quality.
So far on the American hate list we got: Black people, then Muslims, now the Chinese, so what is gonna be the next big thing?

don't forget the mexicans!

With me, when it comes to Made in China clothes, I don't really care. But electronics...that's a different story...


I guess you won't be buying much electronics then. Do you know where your PC or Mac was made?

I am foaming at the mouth. We've already had threads like this one and I have ranted in those threads.
First the Great American Sell-Out...now the Great American Give-away. Treasonous corporations everywhere.
Dark days are already upon North America. My crystal ball sees Mandarin as the new official international language.
Can you imagine Billy-Bob Baboon and his kinfolk learning Mandarin? It is coming. The sleeping giant has awoken in the land where life is cheap.

I love Chinese people and Chinese food. It is North American out-sourcing I object to.

What subject would that be?


I study economics and growth. Part of my work has been on how advanced industrial economies can stay competitive, especially in the face of a rising China.


I knew you were going to type something like this ^.
I won't waste my time trying to convince you of anything but I will tell you this...You'll get a job being part of the problem and you'll be well paid for it.
The books you read from are safe books. On your spare time search out the books that their authors were killed or punished for writing. There you will find the ugly truth.
They don't teach such things in schools. Ask your professor. He will either admit it -or- react with nervous laughter and deny it.
If he admits it he may caution you not to apply such information if you wish to pass the grade. If he denies it, he would be protecting his job.
Keep us updated.

Well that'll put me out of a job, fortunately I've probably got a head start on the new lingo though.
