Isn't yelling loudly at someone "assault" in the UK?
SuspenseSmith - 12/15/2011, 5:41 PM
I live with four Chinese exchange students and they all hate their government more than anything. Give it a generation, and China might turn around for the better.

It's not the people, it's the [frick]ed up system.

@Teabag
He didn't beat his mother. She wanted to charge him with "Verbal assault". Essentially, he just yelled at her.
OptimusBurgundyMaximus - 12/15/2011, 5:43 PM
i think so @greengo we do not permit Yelling in Westcheshire

in that case....he must get charged assualt every day

InFamouslyCool - 12/15/2011, 5:44 PM
That's crazy. That would be pretty scary for anyone, huge balls.
kman - 12/15/2011, 5:45 PM
See, now that's method acting......he's obviously just trying to get locked up in a Chinese prison like Bruce Wayne.




Just kidding......good for him. Pretty cool of him.

Lau had something to do with this. I knew The Joker didn't burn him on that stack of money.

The GCPD is still after Batman again.
headlopper - 12/15/2011, 5:53 PM
What sucks is the world goes to these Communists dogs to get their crap made. It's just funding their dogmatic beliefs and international ambitions while the Chinese people are murdered if the government considers any of them a threat to 'business as usual'.

A guy can't even visit somebody at their house obviously.Something we all take for granted.

It's sickening.
finalattack - 12/15/2011, 5:53 PM
it"s weird hearing him in his real voice.
krooklyndodger - 12/15/2011, 5:55 PM

I guess the Chinese haven't forgiven him for this little stunt he pulled on them.
