The off topic thread

[Cooldude]

What the ****. That was insane even for this board.

This is why talking politics is bad, kinda said that two pages ago

Say one thing and some other people jump in and bang it goes, false premise and stereotypes and generalizations and bad analogies get thrown everywhere then it descends into a slugfest

Oh wait that's just a normal interaction with SM, my mistake

I would say one more thing though, the generalization that international students come from rich families is absolutely untrue, but hey us asians are rich nowadays don't you know

I'm sorry I said anything

So I've just finished writing my 20,000 word University paper on the history of the Chinese civil legal system and Patent law system and comparing Chinese Contract law with Australian Contract law.....

and it still wasn't as painful as the last 3 pages of this thread.

****ers.

You don't get rich by sharing

Masters Cert in Chinese Business Law haha.

Anyone remember the Vengaboys? Just came on my iTunes, still think the lead singer is smoking hot

Aren't Chinese business law and contract law simply suggestions? They kinda just do whatever they want how they want anyway

In a nutshell yes.

It's messed up actually trying to deal with enforcing international business contracts because of that.

 

[Cooldude]

Wow you must be good at typing a lot of words if you can make 20k words outta something we just summed up in 10

You're a smart lad then. Good work.

Not something you should be admitting publicly

Just came here expecting to read some Adelaide-Collingwood discussion.
Then I realised. There's no Collingwood fans on this board.
Can they even afford foxtel to watch international football?

Just saw Godzilla. Pretty decent. It didnt suck. I recommend.

The trailers looked fantastic, didn't know much about this film but seeing Bryan Cranston in it got me very interested.

Was thinking that myself. Would be interesting to see our breakdown by AFL club, to highlight which don't seem to have any football supporters.

Pies jumps to mind as the only obvious one.

A couple of the Chelsea supporters are Collingwood

Think it was on the main board (?) that asked people to analyse their footy teams and their teams in other sports to see if they could spot any trends, was actually pretty interesting.

E.g. for me both of mine exist in Rugby League heartland, have had long barren periods starved of success and are currently experiencing their best results in their history.

Is it actually set in the US though?
