You mean "Chinese Doctors". It's not like the country invented the procedure.

What exactly are you trying to get at? You sound so butthurt. Can't just enjoy the article for the miracle that it is?

Thats fucking great. In response, I think they should give China back all the shit they pillaged from the palaces during the invasions. First and foremost those two statues from Yves Saint Laurent's estate auction.

Just cause the guy who bought them before is dead, doesn't mean they go back to China by default, unless it was in his will. But yes, I was being sarcastic, seeing how you cry like a bitch about it in every thread.

China's claim to the artifacts has just as much validity as claims to loot stolen by the Nazis in WW2. If a thief stole your car and then sold it to someone else with fake VINs, is that person the legal owner? of course not!
Cry like a bitch over buying them back? the heck are you talking about??

Way to go Off topic....
I fully support Stem Cell research, and wish it would expand at a very rapid pace.

It's wrong for a country to claim credit where no credit is due.

I'm just surprised ZhangFei hasn't jumped in yet.

This reminds me of when "China" won the Oscar for best director (you should have seen the publicity) when Ang Lee won for Brokeback Mountain. Except the small fact that Lee is Taiwanese, and the movie itself was banned in the country that claimed to have won  | |

If you know nothing of this type of topic, I suggest you just don't reply to comments like mine. | your argument over semantics is simply pathetic. "america" didn't invade iraq, the soldiers did. see what i did there? by your logic, nothing should be attributed to a country, only its citizens. so no nation has ever accomplished anything, right?
i suggest you don't post comments like yours if you don't want to called out on your failed anal retentiveness. highbrowing over the internet is even worse than e-thugging.
