  1. It did, no WWE film failed to make it's money back. It didn't make a whole hell of a lot though.
  2. Nothing major to be honest. Never got arrested let alone charged with a crime. The worst thing I did, never charged with let alone arrested, let me think. Probably the time I broke somebody's arm because I was jealous. I was young and stupid at the time.
  3. There have been cases recently of kids getting arrested for that too, and also getting charged with child pornography. The news over here has been saturated with paranoid doom-mongering stories about teenagers "sexting". American society and law have gotten more and more bizarrely obsessed with heavily punishing anything involving sex and a minor, regardless of how utterly harmless the act itself was. Like that 17-year-old kid a while back who was sentenced to 10 years in jail for getting a consensual blowjob from a girl two years younger than him. The weirdest thing is how some people act like these things are a sign that our culture is getting more depraved. If anything, children are kept more sheltered now than at almost any time in history. Even in the early 20th century, it wasn't uncommon for a middle-aged men to marry girls who were still in the middle of puberty. Chinese men like to marry Girls as young as possible. Well like to marry girls much younger would be more accurate maybe. Mostly they like their wife to be 15+ years younger. Actually I do have vauge memories of an (underage) girl getting arrested for putting nude photos as a picture text on a phone. Personally I am very against any kind of child porn. Sickens me. However in this case, the case of sending a boyfriend photos, is it really child porn? Only the also underage boyfriend saw the photos. In the case of a underage person posting them on myspace it clearly is child porn, but is it a criminal offence? If an adult posted of course, but an adult didn't post them.
  4. "Do you want fries with that" "Would you like to go large". Did I order Fries? Did I ask you for a large value meal? No. Then shut the fuck up and give me what I asked for. I don't blame the staff mind, nor get angry with them. It's what they have to say.
  5. To be honest I think it should be measured by both. How would that work? I don't know how it would work exactly, I was just trying to throw an idea around. Since China's economy pretty much effects the world, shouldn't China's economy be (one of) the yardstick(s) which to measure by? Explain, please? Surely the fact that the world's economy was so tied up in the US Dollar is the reason most of the world has been affected by this fucking 'credit crunch' bullshit. Fucking greedy Americans. Well monetary experts say that China's money is so tied up in the rest of the world, and so influential (or vice versa?) that if China's economy collapsed it would pretty much take the rest of the world's economy with it. So while the worlds economy may be tied up in the US dollar, well not may be it is, it is also tied up in the Chinese RMB. AKA Yuan. Point of fact For the first time in history, China contributed, and therefore effected, more to world economic growth in 2008 than the United States, the International Monetary Fund reported. So last year When the RMB was strong the economy was strong. This year the RMB has weakened. So it was that as well as, if not even more than, the US dollar's value which created the global economy crisis
  6. I loved the old wwf Attitude video game, where you could change the rope and mat colours.
  7. So she wanted to send nude pictures of herself to ger boyfriend? Bitch you never hear of a phone camera? Oh no instead you want to post on my space and let the whole world see you. Some people are just dumb.
  8. But if it doesn't enter the bloodstream, you don't get drunk. Exactly that is the whole idea! But if you want to get a little drunk you drink what you want first then take the herb.

  10. Just as well I live in the Eastern most of the time.
  11. As usual we Chinese have this wrapped up... There are 100 traditional Chinese medicines that are able to prevent alcohol toxicity. They work by "grabbing" the alcohol and routing it through the digestive system before it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. By far the best though is Bai Zhi / Angelica Root and Bark. If you take it before consuming drink the blood alcohol level will actually decrease with every drink not increase.
  12. hahaha, now that's just silly. I am not familiar with Mr Ming, is he a good or average player?
  13. Can't say I have ever noticed the colour connection before, now that you mention it though... ...It's actually true.

  15. It's just a song about a guy trying to pick a girl up, really that simple. The dialect is regional but easy enough to understand most of it. A style of Han Chinese It's a folk song actually, really popular this type a few years ago. Many similar types.
  16. Ok maybe imposing wasn't the best way to put it. Maybe it would be better to say we get noticed by doing so. Oh read this and look at the paper and then think about your view on Chinese goverment... It's a mock paper created by a well known Chinese newspaper and endorsed by the goverment, all be it endorsed as a joke. The main headline at the upper left, above the mushroom cloud, reads: “China Successfully Tests new Type of Nuclear Bomb on San Francisco.” Next to it in the top middle of the page: “United Nations HQ Moves to Beijing.”… At top right, the headline reads: “Premier Wen Jiabao accompanied by Gov. Ma Ying-jeou pays a visit to Taiwan.” (In other words, Taiwan has already been absorbed into China.) At lower right, under the NBA logo, is the headline: “Yao Ming recovers from injury, helps Rockets with championship.” Smaller headlines lower on the page read: “Chinese government Apologizes for Accidental Bombing of Pentagon.” “Dalai Lama is Shot and Killed.”
  17. We do impose ourselves, just in a different way. A good way, sort of. We impose ourselves and want to be noticed with our exports. Look at anything close to you and chances are it was made in China. Actually yes we do tend to be distant and do our own thing for the most part though. I agree with your views on Russia.
  18. I have no idea what the hell this is meant to mean. Also what is an igloo? What he really wants to know. Will you love him long time? Impossible, he could only last 60 seconds.
  19. Can't speak for the rest of Europe, but the UK gets less then 25% of its gas from Russia. So if Russia was to cut its supply, we'd still be 'ok' - though probably face a price hike in home heating prices. I think Russia will only use this tactic against Western Europe, where they still fear Russia, in an attempt to make them come crawling back. Is Russia regrowing its Army and Military Fist? More then likely. Over the last 5 years they've slowly become more promiment in the news for various things - Space Exploration, War, Public Shots of their Prime Minister guy, civil war, political unrest and upheaval. About 3 years ago they kept running fake 'bombing' runs towards the UK, prompting Norway and the RAF to send out Tornadoes to 'guide' the Russian Bombers back to Russian airspace. So I wouldn't be surprised if more political mind and war games happened. Last year had the Canada v Russia comedy 'war' over the oil under the ice caps. Russia want to be noticed again and with the way things are going it'll happen more and more. To address the very last line. Communist countries always want to be noticed, either in a good way or bad. I know that from living in one.
  20. Yeah but she looks taller than me, the taller you are the bigger tits you can support without back damage. People with bigger tits can actually easily suffer back damage.
  21. Yes and no. Both US and Chile acknowledged support the de facto pro-US Carmona government which breifly took over in the coup. As soon as they lost both US anc Chile retracted their views in record fast time. After the coup was defeated the US goverment condemned them.
  22. There is a reason why everywhere you go, well almost everywhere, America, the American goverment has a bad name. People view America as being the worlds Judge. Or the world's bully if they don't feel like phrasing it so nice. Is that being too harsh? Yes it is, and no it isn't. America has a habit of getting involved in other countries where there really isn't a reason. at the same time quite often it helps countries that it really didn't have to as well. I am possibly not the best person to talk about this as American culture really doesn't exist in mainland China. At least not outside of hollywood films. America has an image problem abroad it is that simple. Anti-American sentiment exists in almost every country and the goverment need to come up with ways to improve attitudes toward America. Me personally I have no beef with the US, but growing up I was told something along the lines of US is like a shady uncle with some past misdeeds. You love him anyway because he is part of your family, but you don't quite trust him. Are US policies regarding helping and or warring with other countries deeply flawed? Is current U.S. policy regarding militant Islam, the Middle East and the war in Iraq fundamentally flawed, and who bears responsibility if it is? These are questions I dn't have an answer for, but questions I thing about never the less.
  23. That is just the point, do people still buy into his role? I am seeing more audience aphaty to his role with every passing month. Sure he stayed over a long time, somehow, but It won't last forever.
  24. Well to be fair to the writers Kiz and Mord sucked, a month or so was all those characters deserved. I can see what you mean about cookie cutter heels and faces though. Something needs to change there.
  25. This is exactly what I was trying to say in the first place. Only you said it much, much better than me.
