Articles : ironman510 commented on news Charity in China: The Low Down on Street Begging

Beggars here I found out were a business, some even made 15,000 a month. It became an acting job after police exposed the truth, so now there is really no way to know who is really poor or just an actor & actress. Full Comment>>

I'm a B (score 68.) This will really make it hard for about 2 years for China to attract new teachers. We'll have to wait for them to suck it up and do all the paper work themselves than apply for the Z visa. Full Comment>>

I laugh at this threat. I have never felt more safe in my last 13 years than I have in China.

I'll take agruing and spitting fools over people with guns any day. Full Comment>>
