HRC lays down the china smack : "We have each stated our positions, but the important point of agreement coming out of my discussions with Minister Yang is that we must work hard in the future to avoid such incidents and to avoid this particular incident having consequences that are unforeseen."
My sources within the politburo tell me that the Chicoms have a slew of new fancy submarines just off the line that they're taking out for a spin and don't want those imperialist Americans learning their capabilities just yet.
Sam Fisher and King Cheetah, please keep it coming. I nearly spilled my drink a few times reading through the last couple of pages
Congrats chicken **** for pulling another stunt. You wouldn't in your wildest dream dare to spew "fried chicken" BS in a D&D topic involving African American. I can't wait to see your handler and the self-righteous neolib friends of yours come to your defense.
BWAHAHAHA, only a humorless bot like you could convert my extremely extremely clever double entendre regarding Hainan Chicken Rice to some sort of racist epithet/"stunt", which sends you into a frothy spiral of profanity (your last post should be edited, or else it may be moderated - you have been warned). I guess I was unaware of the Hainan Chicken-stigma that permeates popular culture and that is used to discriminate against Hainan Islanders (Ironic because it's most often found in the hawkers stalls of malaysia/singapore) Is there some reference to this stereotype somewhere on the internet? Please educate me so I won't be so culturally insensitive in the future. Also, please let me know which of the following dishes I can mention without getting on your bad side/"pulling a stunt": DanDan Noodles Double Cooked Pork Hokkien Mee Char Kway Teoh (sp?) Peking Duck Mapo Dofu Thousand-year old eggs Chengdu-style spicy dumplings Lanzhou beef noodles XIE XIE IN ADVANCE
LOL, Sammy the lawyer, if chicken **** is considered profanity, what would you say about "WTF"? Are you going to censor on moderators' behalf whoever used it as well? Your East Texas root never fails you.
Oh I am at home amongst the trees, much like a Great Panda at the Wolong reserve. Enter at your peril.
I find it the height of irony seeing you post "(I) can't wait to see your handler and the self-righteous neolib friends of yours come to your defense." When it come to a topic involving China, no one can beat you in the self-righteous department. And Sam scarcely needs anyone coming to his "defense." I'm still trying to figure out where you came up with the "penis" comment. I'd make a sarcastic remark about it, but I'm attempting to keep it civil.
This reminds me of the self-blowing Indian media "we are the biggest democracy and biggest English-speaking country in the world" stuff. Why do you feel obliged to threaten people's right of speak or insult their intelligence when your own credibility is on the line?
Without a scale I can't tell for certain. Although is that a map of territorial water or of EEZ? The EEZ is a subset of international waters and not territorial waters so while the country claiming the EEZ has some rights it doesn't have complete rights. For the sake of the discussion I am willing to concede that the ship was likely in PRC EEZ waters.
wnes' words constituted a very real threat to BBS morality, I did not request moderation, but it is definitely up for consideration. I may post a poll.
