    • Remarkable ending! I'm surprised your buddy got such a good result without a payoff!

      ... or maybe the school came through with a neat stack of 100 notes?

        In fact, I'm trying to become a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

              • I liked Smiley's post, too!

                First, the legal systems in those countries is much more about social stability than justice. As what we call corruption is considered normal behavior, and is considered the proper system to reward those who support you in power.


                Personally, I think all legal systems are more about social stability than justice. The courts in the USA and Canada are hugely weighted towards those with power and wealth. The police are predisposed to believe those with power and wealth, and/or those who are local.

                Derek Whilby was in a New Orleans bar, and basically being extorted for money by the owner. They got the bouncer to put him in a hold of some sort, and called the police, who beat on him and told him they would lock him up if he didn't pay a trumped up $500 fee to the bar owner.

                China, Louisiana, it doesn't matter.
