After all, there are forty four million Chinese men who will never find brides--unless they leave China, and how likely is that, given the shitty wages they make?
If he can do it at high end resorts in protected enclaves, why not cut it down to the basics and shop it overseas in China? Hell, that's where all our jobs have gone--gotta keep the workforce happy if you're not going to pay them a living wage...and it's a way to get a little money back that's been paid out in wages!
for the irony impaired....but hey, it COULD happen! Nothing would surprise me with that bunch.

(3,596 posts)Sheldon is, by physical appearance, a slimy, reptilian ick. For him money is everything because he will never enjoy love, respect or admiration other than the faux expressions of those nouns because of his wealth.
Keep in mind that Republicans claim to be such moral individuals but that only applies, maybe (Ted Haggart is an example), in their personal lives. In their professional lives if they can make money on selling grandma to a Mexican street peddler, go at it Jose. Just pay me.
They are all about the money. Jesus will not know them on judgment day. I only wish I could be assured a "fly on the wall" view. Does anyone know how they will queue us up? Will it be by when you were born, died, the nature of your sins, etc.? I am an inquiring type and really wants to know.

All Democrats has to say that Republicans support offshore and cheap labor - that will enrage the Americans who has been struggling to make ends meet.

But seriously, is this just another falling out among thieves? Or will DOJ pick it up and then we will have months of argument over whether it's a political witch hunt or not?

(50,254 posts)Way to revive one of the BIGGEST grudges China rightfully holds against the "barbarian" world(other than Britain deliberately causing a massive increase in opium addiction in the late 19th Century)...foreigners forcing Chinese women to be sex workers.
You stay classy, Shel.

Adelson and these actions are a microcosmic example of the GOP's basic beliefs; we are all here for their nefarious and exploitative purposes.

(1,981 posts)It's long past time Democrats start using the same tactics Republicans use against Republicans and their against large, corrupt donors like Adelson. Demand an investigation and hang that bastard Adelson by his balls.
Same goes for Rupert Murdoch and family. Send a loud and clear message to all those corporate persons out there and the persons who own them.

And of course:
The Republicans and the rich are of the opinion that all of us are just another planetary resource to be used and abused by the rich and powerful for their own selfish needs and perverse desires and any attempt to stop them is seen as amusing. They see us the same way a kid sees an ant burning under a magnifying glass.

(1,214 posts)pimp, noun.
1. a person, especially a man, who solicits customers for a prostitute or a brothel, usually in return for a share of the earnings; pander; procurer.
2. a despicable person.
I'd go with either definition here. In fact I'd go with both.

(429 posts)Grandfather, why must I work in a Chinese brothel when I grow up?
"Because of the excesses of the republican fascist government, now called RepubliCorp."
Grandfather, why did they let them take over like that?
"Because they had the backing of the greedy multinational corporations, the wealthy elite and claimed to be the party of God"
Grandfather, isn't the head of RepubliCorp called the Supreme Court?
"No, that wasn't the God they were talking about but money and power is what they really worshiped."
Grandfather, why was daddy sent to prison?
"Your daddy was labeled a terrorist."
What did daddy do?
"He posted online that our government was corrupt and out of control, His China made iPad turned him in with the help of megasoft."
Grandfather, that is terrible, he shouldn't say things like that!
"I know child but back in my day the constitution protected free speech."
Grandfather, I have read the constitution and it says China has the final authority and that the people must obey corporate authority.
"I know, it was changed during the second great depression under president Romney. The elections were flooded with money from China with the help of their corporate puppets, the Supreme Court"
Grandfather, didn't the tea party help the people?
"No Granddaughter, the tea party movement, bought and paid for by the wealthy elite, helped China by spreading lies about the party of the people, the Democrats.
GRANDFATHER! You know you can't say the "D" word out loud!
"That is why they murdered your mother, she spoke out against the fascist government, she died in the forced labor camp down the road where a walmart use to be"
Is that where Billy, Joe and Aunt Betty are working?
"Yes, your brothers and Aunt Betty are there."
Grandfather, why are you so thin?
"Because they cut my food rations, I am too old to work the 16hr days at china camp 12."
Grandfather, will I have to go to a china labor camp someday?
"Granddaughter, if you do as you are told in the brothel, dye your hair blond, then you will become a republican. You will then be able to work for one of the news networks or maybe even the government."

Maybe just a poster of a young girl, waving goodbye to her grandfather as she walked toward a mega brothel, down a street lined with call-girls, con-men, mega casinos, mega loan offices, mega pharmacies, mega factories and mega shanties/apartment complexes. Can you see it?
