Appalling (or not) Scenes in the Legislative Yuan

In Ukraine, the pro-Russia folks actually take up arms and carve up Ukraine.

In Taiwan, the pro-China folks can fight DPP in the Parliament. I’d say the situation is contained. I’d say the Taiwanese Parliament has done its job. Better than having ANTIFA youth throwing molotov cocktails on the streets or burning down Japanese cars.

Also in the Euro Maidan revolution Yanukovych’s government actually fired shots and killed the other side. Whereas in Taiwan MYJ’s armed police (the Bao 1, Bao2, Bao3 etc ) merely swung the baton and used non lethal forces on the Sun Flower revolutionists.

I’m so done with this place. When I leave. . . .[/quote]

I thought you were planning on getting your license here:

Getting a license (which isn’t guaranteed in any way because the exam is not easy) doesn’t mean I want to actually use it.

I understand that, but if you do get it, I think it can be a good thing, and it seems to me that just the process of preparing for that exam would make a person knowledgeable in a potentially useful way.

If you got it and decided to leave, I can’t imagine that it would hurt to be licensed in more than one country.

Anyway, if you doonnnnn’t liiiike it heeeeere :slight_smile: --why don’t you stick around and try to change things?

Now this is more like it!

Water balloons, chairs, the Speaker advising the Premier to vacate the premises… When are they going to turn this into a musical? :popcorn:

“Is that a blackhead?”

Hmm, maybe “I know it’s painful, but removing blackheads is part of the treatment. You don’t want to look ugly, do you?”

I’m still wondering about the guy in the upper left (covered by HS’s speech bubble).

I’ll show you what I mean the next time I see you.

Just mind meld me, man. :call_me_hand: :brain:

They have been practicing long enough. "In 1995, the Legislative Yuan was presented with the Ig Nobel Prize Peace Award, for “demonstrating that politicians gain more by punching, kicking and gouging each other than by waging war against other nations.”

And this is the kind of stuff that makes international news about Taiwan, and spreads like wildfire all over the world. Sigh.

I’m not that selfless.

And the process of preparing is in no way practical. It’s mostly about memorising stuff.

I’m thinking something about a dislocated shoulder, but I can’t quite get it to work.

More to come, they promise. :popcorn:

What’s all the hubbub over this infrastructure project?

The money is not going to their pockets as usual.

Plus it is tit for tat because the DPP is turning the screws on the illegal assets sales the KMT is getting on.

When water isn’t enough, and flour & eggs and stir! :man_cook: :woman_cook:

“Okay, just a bit tighter, and say cheese!”

“We beseech you, God of Rain, shower us with your divine nectar!” (The skeptics will have to concede that it couldn’t be by chance, being indoors and all that…)


Does anyone have pictures of the eggs & flour?

The right ingredients are all there, but the results are half-baked at best. :sunglasses:
