Default You want to see a politician bleed?



this distinguished gentleman used to be the embassador of the ROC (Republic of China, aka Taiwan) to the US. he opposes the former Taiwanese president Lee, whom he perceives as a danger to the people of Taiwan, so he cut himself with a blade in front of the media in order to make his issue clear to the people. ouch!

dedication to one's political views like this is not often seen, is it? i hope he's ok.

Neither is Louis Farrakhan but surely you would get pulled up for bringing him up as a subject of a post??

Does this mean that only American politics are banned??

Are do you mean that only American politics count??
