I apologize in advance for this thread not being about Obama and/or Reagan. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...h-girlfriend-insisted-going-clothes-shop.html A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop. CCTV shows Tao Hsiao, 38, escorting his girlfriend around a shopping mall in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, east China. After five hours Tao finally had enough and demanded to go home. Eyewitnesses say he could be heard saying they already had more bags than they could carry, but she insisted on going into one more shop where the was a special offer on shoes. An eyewitness said: 'He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime and it was pointless buying any more. 'She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.' The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the floor seven storeys below causing shocked shoppers to flee in panic. Emergency services arrived at the scene but Tao was killed immediately from the impact of the fall. A shopping spokesman said: 'His body was removed fairly quickly. 'He actually landed on one of the stalls below and then fell to the floor so although the store was damaged it meant he didn't hit anybody. 'This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people.'
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin Not even "wife"? Girlfriend? "Uh, I think it's time we see other people. It's not me, it's you." vs. Instantaneous death at 38.
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin Or you push her over, not yourself.
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin It may well be a hoax but I'm not seeing any articles debunking it (yet).
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin This feels like something straight out of The Onion.
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin That should teach her
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin There have been quite a few stories like this coming from China that we just hoaxes. *IF* someone fell, I doubt the reason the story describes is the reason why.
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin How is this not about Obama? You liberals will find any excuse not to blame Obama for something that is obviously his fault. Also, skinflint is going in my vocabulary starting today. an ungenerous or *****rdly person; miser
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin Really? N.i.g.g.a.rdly is edited out? EDIT: Oh nevermind, I didn't account for the slang usage of that one word
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin N-i-g-g-a-r-d-l-y is edited out....Seriously? It doesn't even have the same fucking meaning.....It's not even spelled the same. Seriously, WTF?

Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin Word filters are rarely smart.
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin A mall of at least 7 stories full of Christmas shoppers in a formerly Confucianist nation. China is steered by Western intelligence.
Re: Chinese man jumps to his death rather than spend another minute Christmas shoppin See, this was my main takeaway here. A 7-story shopping mall? Then again, I think Pioneer Place is technically 4 stories, and that's here in Podunk Portland...
