Karajorma on news Update: Changsha Jerk Used His 17 Girlfriends As Personal ATM (24 comments)

Apr 12,2015 11:19 comment|58449|86810

I take great comfort in the fact that Karma doesn't exist. Imagine if you actually deserved every shitty thing that has happened to you throughout your life. That said, you don't need to believe in Karma to believe you will get caught if you try to have 17 girlfriends at the same time. Full Comment>>

I agree it's over simplified but there is a core of truth there and the tone is generally not negative so much as highlighting the differences. If they'd taken the time to expand on most of those points I don't think we'd disagree with them too much. Full Comment>>

Mar 24,2015 22:05 comment|57441|86810

As pointed out in the article, many foreigners can serve their sentence in their own country. Would you prefer to spend 10 years in a Chinese jail? I've seen quite a few articles on this particular site that do show occasions when foreigners have gotten off spectacularly lightly for crimes. I do doubt a Chinese ... Full Comment>>

I just can't understand how he expected this plan to work. How did he plan to explain why his fiancee was bound and gagged? Was he perhaps going to claim she was training to be an escapologist? Or was he just hoping Stockholm Syndrome would do all the work for him? So much left unexplained. Full Comment>>

Jan 04,2015 12:08 comment|54072|86810

The problem I have with most of these Chinese snack foods (apart from the taste) is that they all look incredibly messy to eat when on the go (which is when I'd probably be eating snack food). Even when I find something I don't mind (like latiao) I can't be bothered to buy it over a packet of crisps simply because I ... Full Comment>>

Not only that, but it's pretty stupid when you think about it. Which one sounds better to you "I got my new son-in-law to give me X Thousand yuan" or "We told our son-in-law to forget about paying a bride price. We don't need the money". To be honest it's pretty easy to kill this tradition, just ... Full Comment>>

It should be called the Microsoft business model. That's what we all did in the 90's with operating systems (Those of us using Windows at least). At least in the 90's you had a choice.

He was nine actually. I don't know. At the age of nine I knew enough to never try feeding a bear at the zoo. I was well aware that it might try to eat me. Would a Chinese kid aged nine know this, I don't know but it's definitely a failing of the parents if he didn't. Did he deserve to lose an arm, absolutely not. I ... Full Comment>>

Let me just ask you this. How many child molesters does your country execute every year? My guess is zero.
