the other guy's car overheated due to a radiator hose failure yesterday... so he took urgent leave..
he was explaining to the boss that the car was overheated so he got a tow truck to tow it to the workshop..
you know what the idiot boss said?
"can't you wind down the window then drive to the workshop, so no need to pay so much for towing"
*ruptures more innards surpressing laughter*

Why did I even major in mechanical engineering to begin with?
It seems that any half-witted monkey can just go into management these days.

same thing happened to Tibet..
PRC is falling apart from the ethnic tensions from the institutionalised discrimination and surpression against the ethnic minorities.. which the communist bastards call "separatist elements" even when it's just them speaking in their own language or worshipping their own gods without the thought of separating from PRC...
after the surpression, PRC has sown its own seeds...
be careful whenever you are travelling to a place in PRC where the Han Chinese went and insinuated themselves and pushed the local ethnic groups out... because it's like a powder keg, primed to blow up at any time..
erh.. not so bad lah..
when i was at the tibetian area in sichuan (the riot area of chengdu and other ulu places)
... the PRC police treated us very well and make sure we are alright at every place we go to (maybe tracking us too, we hold huge cameras stuff), while the Tibetian-locals are really really nice to us, hosting us at their place while we blend into their culture, chatting and telling us about their lives and history..
they understood that we are just tourists from singapore and were there for photography. That's why they displayed their warm hospitality to us :)
(we get invited into houses for tea, even we just pass by the villages...)
...
but yeah... the only thing is that when there are clashes, just dun walk into it..
when pple fight, they just see bodies and not your ID..
same anywhere... in china, in Bangkok (the recent riot), anywhere...

yes yes yes !!
we were suppose to go via Kathamandu but it seems there were strikes very often so that's why via chengdu. hope all these problems will be cleared by then. It took us one year to plan for this
when is the next power duck?

Originally posted by SevenEleven:power of internet and racial disharmony. Anyway, it was because 2 ethnic minorities raped a han woman was what started these.
yeah.. but the simmering anger erupted..
the 2 Uighurs were arrested for raping the Han woman.. in another province.. and they were beaten to death? and this was from a bigass brawl between hundreds of factory workers in a toy factory.. where there was supposedly a Han woman being accosted by a Uighur.. and it escalated into the Han mob breaking into the Uighur dorm to attack the sleeping Uighurs who fought back..
thing is, the pressure keeps increasing.. the commies keep pressing it down.. until the inevitable happens, it explodes..

it also have to do with the extremies fanning the suitation. I suppose this would be the thing to do to prevent the country from breaking up and lawlessness to prevail

yup.. they'll be able to mismanage everything to hell.. it happens in about 20 year cycles.. about the time for each generation to forget the lessons of the past...
we're living through one crash right now.. caused by those who forgot the 1987 crash...
