Quote from: "Mr Crowley"Only women who have as much chance of being hit on as an ISIS stronghold describe men as shallow. Put another way...just cos men give you as much eye as brussel sprouts doesn't mean THEY are at fault.



Just be grateful God gave us beer to give every woman a shot at getting laid.



And of course, WOMEN aren't drawn to attractive men. Oh, noooooo....that's why I get hit on all the time.



How about you?

QuoteThe Islamic State has already attracted an angry response  from China after it executed a Chinese captive last week. Now the militant group, known as IS or ISIS, has managed to rile Beijing again, this time by recognizing Taiwan as an independent nation.



In its latest propaganda video, ISIS lists the flags of countries it says are part of a global coalition against it. Among these is the Taiwanese flag.



Taiwan's Central News Agency linked ISIS's sudden recognition of Taiwan to a statement made by U.S. President Barack Obama at an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Malaysia last week. Obama said that Taiwan was one of the Asia-Pacific countries in a coalition against ISIS.



The Hong Kong Standard reported that SWAT teams were patrolling the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on Thursday after video prompted the Taiwanese government to step up security measures. Meanwhile, President Ma Ying-jeou urged the public not to panic.



Here is a screenshot from the video, which was posted on Wednesday.



China views Taiwan as a renegade province that may be reclaimed by force if necessary. The United Nations also recognizes the People's Republic of China as the only lawful representative of China and has rejected calls in the past to make Taiwan a member.





The list of countries that have diplomatic relations with Taiwan is also pitifully small.



The video comes just weeks after Ma met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Singapore, for what were the first talks between leaders of the neighboring countries in more than six decades.





The historic event was seen as a breakthrough for a relationship that has been strained since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949 when the Nationalist Party (KMT) was forced by Communist Party of China to retreat to Taiwan. No armistice or peace treaty has ever been signed to mark the end of the conflict.



Indeed, the issue of sovereignty is so fraught that at the Singapore meeting neither leader referred to the other as "president," addressing each other as "Mr" instead. They also split the dinner bill, according to reports.

Quote from: "Shen Li"While we are on the topic of Beijing getting miffed, check this out. Beijing is pissed that ISIS beheaded a Chinese national, but recognizing Taiwan as an independent country? This means war.

Quote from: "Renee"As for me, I get hit on far too much.

...I'm sure that women, whatever age, shape, race get hit on a lot more than men per hour than most men.  :wink:



...that is their nature...to be attractive to men.



And that is the nature of men...to hit on them.  ac_smile
