Or we could just not sink to their level. Full Comment>>

That's surely a great argument for exactly why they shouldn't do it then, right? Full Comment>>

Driving at 237km/hour and then posting evidence of your crime on social media is a pretty special kind of stupid. If you make it really easy to convict you, then you are going to get prosecuted. Full Comment>>

Any idiot knows you don't put all your eggs in one basket. While I might not disagree with your conclusion that the rich want to get out of China, the argument you made to get there is pretty weak. Full Comment>>

Cause you never hear people complaining about how unfair and ridiculous that is in China, right? Full Comment>>

"Wang Xin, a male commenter in his 30s, wrote that a woman breastfeeding in public is “unsightly.” “I definitely do not want to take a picture of that!”" How's about not using your phone for once in your life! Full Comment>>

The woman later stated that she was just sitting on the side of the bridge when some guy rugby tackled her to the ground. Seriously though, well done that man! Full Comment>>

This is the story that keeps on giving. Bet you in 20 years or so the kid does something that makes them famous and this all comes back up again. Full Comment>>

The forum software automatically edits out paragraphs. It's a complete pain in the arse. Watch, I'll put a paragraph here. Did it appear? Nope. What about this one? Nope. This sucks! Let me try some HTML instead. <P> Or <BR> Nope. Full Comment>>

This is quite a good idea. It doesn't cover the money a scammer would get from winning a court case (which might encourage more people to try it) but instead covers legal costs which makes victims more likely to take the issue to court (at which point the scammer has to perjure himself and basically give all the ...

I can't believe they forgot tai ma fan. Full Comment>>

Actually he was threatened with a stick, called the police and they said that he had to pay. I suspect that's part of the reason the guy in charge of the market got fired. As for the price difference, surely you can see that he might have eaten something other than the plate of shrimp? I saw the bill elsewhere on ... Full Comment>>

Hang on a sec. Your friend is complaining at being taxed at a 18% tax rate? Where the hell is he from that this is excessive? While I agree with most of the complaints in the article, I pay less tax here than I ever paid back home. Full Comment>>

Depends on how much stuff you're bringing with you. I can understand why someone might be willing to pay money to avoid the inconvenience of having to do that. And it's not like checking the apartment out makes you impervious to being scammed. That's kinda the whole point of going through an agency. And since we ... Full Comment>>

People moving to a foreign country frequently do that. You don't want to move with all your stuff and then stay in a hotel while you try to find an apartment. That's exactly why you go through an agency. Full Comment>>

Someone else has been watching Bill Hicks I see. Saved me from having to quote him. Full Comment>>

I don't get why he wants to demolish and then rebuild it? But since he does, why can't they just photoshop in some rubble and send him the pic (along with a large bill) and then a year later send him a picture of the same building and say it's finished (along with a larger bill). Full Comment>>

"From the Chinese point of view, the greatest danger is corruption in Africa." --------- You'd think they'd be used to it. Sounds like the danger is corruption when you don't have guanxi Full Comment>>

I heard elsewhere he was from Xinjiang. Full Comment>>

Yeah, but at least in China where porn is illegal it makes a tiny bit more sense. It was a work computer so the company might also be held liable. In the West where the porn is legal, it's a lot harsher. Full Comment>>

It said she bought it while travelling. I assume that means at the duty free shop in the airport. Yeah, if you have a connecting flight, you're sometimes screwed when that happens. Full Comment>>
