Sometimes i think they just try it on, to get em off the hook.

Bipolar disorder is a real, diagnosable disease. You can't just 'try it on' like a dress to get off the hook.

I've had it for a few years now but thankfully I'm pretty good at keeping my own head in check so it's not a huge deal for me. I just get days of endless creative energy where I won't sleep at all, usually followed by a few days of thinking sleep is the only thing worth doing at all.

He was diagnosed before he went, heard about this about 4 or 5 months ago.

Same Stu, Well done on how your dealing with it.

[Stu]

Cheers.

He wanted to be a pop star, he went to China to seek it.. Even a music video was made.

I would rather have the justice of Darth Vader than the Chinese government..

The unknown deaths by the Chinese will be very high.

Eletric Chair?

Gass Him?

Last thing we want to do is get in a war of words with China

[Stu]

True. Translators cost a fortune.

[Okay, that was a bad one].

[Stu]

That's the problem - in this case we'll never know, because they killed him before it could be judged.

Agree

[Sticks]

It is not for us to comment on the internal judical afairs of another sovereign state.

We do business every day with China, and injudicious words should not be allowed to put that at risk.

China does its own Corrupt Mental Checking.
Your Computer and TV is made in China
or parts of it,
so even though they are not western in thinking
they are the World Leader in Cheap Trade.


One Eyed Scottish Brown
told the World that China wrecked the Climate Debate.
So it not like the UK is in a good way with China.

He could have gone on a Flight out there to stop this
would have been a Vote winner,
but he is No Good as a Leader.

Yes Sticks that is the Official way
but our Media keeps it up high.

It will not stop the Shipping of Computers
Trade is not at Risk
this is Political
and One Eyed Scottish Brown
has Punched China in the Face
a few weeks back at the Climate Event.

Drugs isnt death worthy imo

I'm in the business of free speech, myself. I realise China doesn't have surplus stocks of that, but I'm sure they talk about us quiet a bit too. What a fucked up world you live in.

I'm inclined to believe that the 'mentally ill' claim was just an attempt to get him off - especially bearing in mind that the family also claimed that the drugs were planted on him. Which is it - mentally ill and not knowing what he was doing or the drugs were planted?

Agree with posters that said if he did do it - then more fool him, no good whining about it when you get caught. He didn't even have the excuse of being young and ignorant - he was in his fifties. If he decided to take the risk, but the odds went against him - then that is the price he has to pay! People should know by now that you can't mess around and abuse other countries' laws.

God forbid it's possible to be old and ignorant.

Of course - but the older you get the more you learn - called life experience - it isn't a fallacy!

[Stu]

I don't buy that one bit. Intelligence is not directly linked to age. Life is more complex than that. Some people stay in front of the telly collecting welfare cheques for all eternity, some don't absorb knowledge, some do but never capatalise on it, some people just seem to get thicker as they go along, some people start out fine and become born again at the age of 42.

You can't just say older instantly = wiser.

Taking your logic a 42 year old will always be smarter and in a better position to make judgements than a 22 year old.

I never said it was! I'm not talking about intelligence - that is genetically determined. I am talking about knowledge - and a lot of that comes over time - as I said before - life experience!
