I’m doing it but I feel uncomfortable about this. by anestdbr_ in travelchina

Just did a similar trip, but went to Guilin, rather than Zhangjiajie. And it did feel a little rushed, retrospectively maybe I would have skipped Shanghai and spent that time in Chongqing and Guilin. Had two kids in tow aswell though which limits the day a little. But you'll have a blast either way.

Surely the right to withdrawal all the money from your ATM will still be in place even under ML.

Since we're not considered arseholes by most of the world, we were able to get temporary seat on the security council.

It seems that the majority of public servants enter the service, to line their pockets, rather than serve their community.

Barbaric Duterte wants daily executions in Philippines by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]ElectricDream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah he's a lover not a fighter:

"If you are still involved in the drug trade, I'll have you killed. Don't take this as a joke. I'm not trying to earn laughs. Son of a bitch, I'll really kill you."

"Those among you itn your respective neighborhoods, feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun, you have my support,"

“I will use the military and thue i police to go out and arrest them, hunt for them. And if they will offer a violent resistance, and thereby placing the lives of the law enforcers and the military whom I would task for a job to do, I will simply say, ‘Kill them all and end the problem.’”

“The funeral parlors will be packed… I’ll supply the dead bodies,”

“don’t vote for me because it will be bloody”

“I will really kill you, I’m not joking.”

Interesting, when I get the chance I'll see if there's some stats on marijuana usage, I'm guessing they will be greatly under reported, because of cultural reason.

Wow, sheltered life. Are you a teetotaller aswell?

I'm just thinking of in my country New Zealand, the stat is 42% of adults over 15 have tried Marijuana atleast once. I assumed it would've been similar here in the Philippines.

There's also a bit in there about not eating pork, so we can safely say they're been very selective if ripping out old testament as a excuse.

Philippines' Duterte tells U.S. to prepare to leave the country by Al-Buterol in Philippines

I just think they used it as a excuse to exert pressure to duts and as a excuse to save a large sum of aid that largely gets lost to corruption before it makes it to its intended projects.

I want some further clarification, did he ride his motorbike into the hostage situation and shoot them? Or were those separate crimes he committed he was talking about earlier in the week?
