    If Joe Jamail was our “national lawyer”, China would have surrendered to us 6 months ago. And, by God, there’d be none of that “Bay-jsheng” pronunciation anymore; it would change back to “PEE-king” like it should have always been!

    Bess. You are *INSANE*

    the story is about “Chinese-made toys recalled for containing date-rape drug” so no, she’s not insane. definitely hilarious though.

    Bess–Insane, you are on occasion, but criminal, you are NOT. Do us all a favor and tone down the headline. Date rape is disturbing enough, date-raping children?? Jeesh! Where are your legal advisors and editors? Gone home after a 3-hour siesta??

    Rumo Herown,
    here-here. date-rape of children is a lil bit too much.

    sounds like a great gift for my pages.

    idiots– read the article: the toys contained the date rape drug.

    Hey, 5:10? Well aware of the article, but this headline is ALL WRONG. Bess is far more clever/funny than this… I’d hate to put words in his mouth (but maybe his writer is on strike?). Had his writer been on the watch, the headline would have read more like “China: You let us date-rape your daughters…” which would have been more in line with his cyber persona.

    um, newcomer? bess is a girl. and you should really leave the headline writing up to the funny people, i.e. not you.

    My only question: when did the point of origin of salmon become a sufficiently crucial issue to warrant this endless poll?

    Don’t like it, don’t read it.

    What was this Bess guy thinking? He must be an insane criminal.

    I know that the value of dollar hit record low compared to other currencies but is that enough to cause famine in the U.S that even toys were fed to children? What the hell! Those are toys NOT foods!!!
    It must have been that in China they are not aware that that chemical is used by Americans as “date-rape” It’s only in America! It’s a shame?
    And, BTW, I don’t blame China (I’m not Chinese) but those irresponsible and negligent parents.They aren’t supposed to let those todlers play with those small beads.
    Bess what’s your IQ score? Just curious.

    everytime China angers U.S expect recalls.when PetroChina hit 1 trillion, I bet with my 3 co-workers, a dinner at The Chops, that there will be recalls within a week. and I was goddamn right!!!This is the 3rd time around.

    Uhm, really 11:41? The US was angry when Petro hit 1 trillion?
    And what is the ever astute reasoning behind that?
    I assume from your food winning theories that the CIA must be out adding lead and date rape drug chemical derivatives to toys around the world in advance so that our response of a recall can be perfectly timed to our anger over future Chinese actions?
    So if China suddenly invades Taiwan, I suppose we are gonna what? Go full throttle and do an extra massive recall of Christmas ornaments (that we secretly precoated with cooties)?
    Your conspiracy delusion is messing with my Happy Christmas filled with Chinese made goods.
    I wonder if your 3 friends would take the bet that every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings.
