I wouldn't be too certain about that one ------------- Britain is like the overpowering strict daddy who has had their way for all the boys life - and, now - daddy is older, weaker and still trying his arm - whereas the boy has grown into a big strong teenager with money and muscle

I wouldn't be trying the arm too much - in case the hormones outdo the respect

I dont think the chinese respect anyone, they just have relationships (good or bad) based on what the government percieves as its desired outcomes.

They dont hold back out of respect.

they just arent that stupid
