<description>&lt;p&gt;Eastman, no one ever has any fucking idea what you&apos;re talking about.  

Here&apos;s a quick template for of all your comments:

a) Insult either author or commenter
b) Add non-English nonsense, perhaps touch on your thesis
c) Write something bad about the US that is unrelated and illogical
d) (OPTIONAL) Add a link &quot;supporting&quot; your unrelated and illogical claim
e) &quot;LOL, LMFAO, etc.&quot;
f) Fill out one of several receipts that will later entitle you to collect payment from troll overlord

And remember to misspell intentionally and frequently.

Repeat ad infinitum.

Are you a real person, or just a creation of nanhe to make him seem more reasonable?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;you are too dumb to realize china&apos;s economy was the first to fall and will be first to rebound. not to mention enviable 9% gdp in 2008, ISM published on monday show a rise to 35 from 32 at bottom in December and stock market gained a 25% since then. in 1-2 year, china will, to your frustration, re-emerge as leading economic power, while you will still worry of your debt in your broken car on your old highway across rotten bridges or in dark nyc subway that only reminds me of coal mine.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;

Something to consider...is it possible the man disagreed with Wen&apos;s statement that only 8 million jobs had been lost in China, since Chen Xiwen had said a day earlier that the figure was 20 million?

That&apos;s a big difference; if the man has connections with China--worked there, has a Chinese wife, whatever--he might have been outraged at Wen painting a rosy picture. Economic issues are pretty fraught with emotion, after all.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi lamb shaslik, too bad your limey friend was such a poor thrower. If it was a bag of feces, it would land on his own pathetic face. LOL! He sure throws like a weak armed pussy! I&apos;d say if the Iraqi had a bag of feces, he&apos;d turn Bushie into a sh1thead in a spectacular manner. Down with neocons! LMAO!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;hu please, good-natured taihanasie!
i guess the man just called wen the same boring way as you. 
meanwhile i think he would&apos;ve sure hit the &apos;hu&apos;s face with his shoe, if he&apos;d  tossed only few more granades in basra.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;To Larboard: 

&quot;This shameful act would never happen in China because the Chinese treat their guest with respect even they didn&apos;t like him/her.&quot;

Never?

A better point would be ,in China, that these type of people would not even get near the site of said speech location. Local police would have quarantined the site off like a small pox break out and only certain people let in. 

 &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;To Bumix

It is not absurd, half of whom other than the Chinese students I see at the forum were white skin professors, interlectuals, foreign students, except an ignorant scumbag who stood up to protest. He probably get paid to do that. This shameful act would never happen in China because the Chinese treat their guest with respect even they didn&apos;t like him/her. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think this protestor should be given the maximum penalty, not because he threw the shew but because he was so unoriginal with his form of protest. As for Hu, his response had nothing on the good-natured grin of Bush. Hu is such a boring target.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
