  friend who was posted to taiwan during his NS for 6 months, loved the parliament...
  
  sometimes, they would yell hokkien abuse at each other... and their all-in brawls are world-infamous

  I will probably be shot down for being indiscrimately biased for saying this
  
  But I absolutely hate and have no respect for taiwanese telly programs, and this includes most of their stars / B-C-D list celebrities in the circle.
  
  I'll never understand how programs that feature wet t-shirts, women in bikinis, boob infatuation and tireless feeding of big brothers' ego count as prime-time entertainment. Pure crass.

  I can't help but agree with you Choco. That is exactly what I feel about Taiwanese programs.

  yeah .... and it's rather comical to see local artistes and comperes trying to ape them ....
  
  but then ... the taiwanese themselves are only aping their cultural colonizers, the Japanese, neh ? .....

  BUT in their defence. I do like how open and fiesty their political discussion can be in the media. Brings politics and social issues to the masses (Of course, with resulting pros and cons ).

  i tell mom.. "if you keep watching the taiwanese shows, your brains will slowly rot and dribble out of your ears sooner or later"
  
  going to watch Extreme Japan tonight..
  
  the guest, Daphne, seems to slur her words when she speaks.. wonder why?

  open politics is good... open discussion is good..
  
  however, throwing chairs and punches is not the way to go about it
  
  but.. what do you guys think? i think ah-bian staged the whole shooting thing..

  More than likely. The guy seemed too heck-care about the incident and it was swept under the carpet like nothing. I mean ... A MAN WAS SHOT for goodness sake!

  i don't think i want politics in Singapore to ever descend to that level ......
  
  it becomes a circus then .... too much drama .... no body will take politics seriously then .... and with china breathing down on them, i say they are being suicidally silly .... llike that clown with the surname chee .....
  i wonder if it's his antics were caused by the too much time he spent in taiwan ....

  they have become the biggest J-pop thing in the US because of the cartoon

  the cynicism is amazing..
  
  i guess the country's gone to heck.. nothing matters anymore except winning the elections.. why they want to win or the reasons have become immaterial
