Health Warning: Never eat food made in China.  


Too late. At least 1 ingredient is likely from China from everything you are eating.

   The "rice" is made by mixing potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic. The potatoes are first formed into the shape of rice grains. Industrial synthetic resins are then added to the mix. The rice reportedly stays hard even after being cooked.

"A Chinese Restaurant Association official said that eating three bowls of this fake rice would be like eating one plastic bag. Due to the seriousness of the matter, he added that there would be an investigation of factories alleged to be producing the rice," Very Vietnam noted.

 

why would anyone eat three bowls of rice that stay hard after you cook it?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Galaki as a Canadian your endorsing the death penalty?


Am I not allowed different opinion?


Of course lol. Its just odd to hear about a Canadian in favour of the dealth penalty. In my debate club the debate was issued for our school's to debate. But nobody wanted to support the death penalty, I ended up supporting the death penalty against like 30 students lol it was alot of fun. Even though I disagree with the death penalty I do see alot of reasons why someone would support it.

But here in Canada I rarely find a Canadian in favour of the death penalty!

4 star accomadations they get in Canada.


Much better than sleeping on the streets when you're out of job/luck/etc.

Heck the prison accomadation is almost as good as my apartment accomadations lol. Only difference is I get internet access and can own modern consoles and get games. I also get to choose what I eat but hell my cooking isn't as good as the cooking in prison lol!

Well, you could eat one plastic bag, which isn't very filling, or you could have 3 bowls of plastic rice, which is like 2-3 meals...I know which one I would be choosing.

I mean our prisons get cable , HDTV's , video games , gym's phone access. Many convicts get their own cells, three square meals a day sometimes even steak.

LOL, this reminds me of a cartoon I once saw, where criminals would commit crimes imediately after leaving jail because they wanted back in.


Actually as a security gaurd I protected a mall. Not just once but several times like 3 at least. Homeless people or people I thought were normal actually came up to me and asked me to arrest them and send them to jail. I actually had to explain to several people that security gaurd don't have the authority to just go and arrest people. I was like I can only carry out a citizens arrest.

One guy then asked me he's like "What do I need to do right now to get arrested, I want to go to jail". I was like Umm I dunno. He was then like "If I break that window or steal something from the store can you send me to jail" I told the guy again that I couldn't send him to jail. He then got confrontational and asked if he assualted me then would he go to jail. I ended up telling him if he assualted me I'd fight back and that might not be the best way to go. In the end I escorted him from the mall and never saw him again. (Probably in jail lol).

Holy crap, where's the punishment for doing the crime? Its like a resort I never saw TV's and video games but I'm betting if Canada has em that Norway probably does too. I mean seriously at least prison in Canada still has bars , cells and high walls (Fences) with barbed wire and stuff.

I mean I thought Canadian prisoners had it could, geeze lets all go commit crimes in Norway you get to live a better life then you would on the outside (In almost every country). Heck having coffee time and making your own breakfast, going swimming, sun tanning. Shit that prison is better then my normal life (No joke)!

It's not funny. The poor guy. Hope he didn't hurt anyone. It;s a sad world we live in if going to jail is better then being outside.

Yah I hope he wasn't dumb enough to hurt someone. Thinking abit about it heck you'd pretty much have to hurt someone or steal something big like a car or rob a house to see jail time here in Canada. Heck assualt only gets you in some cases a week or two.

That video clip of Norway shows just how twisted some countries system's can be. I think even American prisons are too good. I'd say Chinese or other prisons are the kind of prison's murderers should be kept in!

Don't underestimate what people would do when they're deperate.

And LOL@ the Norway prisons. When I first saw it I thought it was some sort of resort.

Trying to make people behave properly through fear is incredibly primitive. In Norway, we generally see it so that a prison isn't a way to punish the prisoners, but a way to keep them away from harming the rest of society.

Most criminals are really just people who have had tough experiences in life. To think that punishing them will make them better people is a very strange way of thinking, really. The Norwegian way is to gradually build them up as people again, gradually giving them more freedom and such, untill they're people who can survive in the outside world.

Prisons shouldn't be a place to punish people who have had a troubled life, but a place to rehabilitate them. And here in Norway, they are.
