Re: interesting
Be careful what you look at on that fancy new Internet in China, you might end up in one of these...
»www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006···an_x.htm
Quoted from the linked article...
"The country that executed more than four times as many convicts as the rest of the world combined last year.."
"Sixty-eight different crimes — more than half non-violent offenses such as tax evasion and drug smuggling — are punishable by death in China. That means the death vans are likely to keep rolling."
Ya know what, for all the bitching and moaning we do about such things as the Patriot act, electronic monitoring, and the like. I'll take my 3 MB DSL connection knowing I'm probably not going to take a ride in one of these puppies next time I screw up my taxes....

Sounds like a great idea, should do that here. |

I am on the internet all the time when I am there. You will not end up executed but I would not mess with child porn because you will not be released and put back in neighborhoods like they do here in the U.S. to rape and murder again.
Very low crime rate there.
You will not take a ride in that vehicle if you screw up your taxes.
A lot of U.S. citizens retired there.

| Is this really news? Except for leading in new Walmart openings (so as to bring in more imports from China) do we really "LEAD" at anything any more? Well anything "positive" and emerging? |

Just to keep things in perspective. China executes about 1 out of every 382,000 of it's citizens. Texas( home of GW Bush ) executes 1 out of every 500,000. Not too much difference if you ask me. |

Mobile execution van, between 15,000 and 18,000 a year are either lethally injected in the van, or bullet to the head in a park, where the person is put in a circle and executed. Then afterwards if the family wants to claim the body they have to pay the Chinese Govt. for the injection or the price of the bullet.
But man do they sure do have sum fast internet and all, see ya'll later got sum shopping to do, got to get to my Walmart store before it dun closes, wait whats the hurry they be open 24hrs now. |
