Sounds like typical "Remove brain, become animal rights activist" behaviour to me. While I'm sure there are plenty of normal, sane people working in animal rights, so many of them are basically just crazy cat ladies who have decided to remain in contact with other people. Full Comment>>

I don't quite get the scam here. Why would he pay them money just because they have photos of his work? Unless the photos were meant to be proof that he'd been cheating on his wife or something I can't see why they'd be worth money. Full Comment>>

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like the start of an episode of The A-Team? A bunch of thugs turn up at a work site, beat a bunch of people up, hospitalise at least one, and it turns out to all be because a corrupt businessman wants them to stop working for his own nefarious reasons.

Risk of bad storms was one of the reasons why Guangzhou scored so highly. I'm not surprised it was in the top 10.

Even if I accepted coineineagh's scenario, you walk over and slap the parents. You never slap a 6 year old child. As for the losing a tooth, we are dealing with a kid at the right age to be losing their milk teeth. A slap could dislodge one that was about ready to drop on its own. Full Comment>>

And yet you address absolutely nothing I said. Even the story you found says it was an accident that the kid bumped into the foreigner. There's nothing that says the kid was harassing the lady, most likely the kid was playing the trolley, (You know, like kids do) and accidentally hit her. She responded like a child ...

I love the way you're so judgemental about the Chinese while complaining that the Chinese are too judgemental about foreigners. It comes down to the simple fact that she is an adult and the other party is 6 years old. Even if the child deliberately ran a trolley into her (and nothing says that's what happened) she ...

I'll take that bet. Bring the money, you'll be needing it. As for the whole issue of questionable food.
