Andy9o8 3 #5 March 23, 2006 Hey, John, just yesterday I posted a similar item about the Chinese selling organs of executed prisoners for transplants. That article put the number of executions at about 8,000 yearly. The people who replied didn't seem to care much. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2138907;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Makes me a little suspicious of tofu...

JohnRich 4 #10 March 23, 2006 QuoteNext thing you know, they'll be making lamp-shades! I don't know about that - a lampshade requires a lot of skin, and they would have to increase the number of arrests, convictions and executions. It could overburden the police, "justice" and prison systems. And they would have to quit torturing the prisoners, too, as that leaves unsightly scars. I'm having an image of Ricardo Montelban doing automobile advertisements touting how they are upholstered in "rich Corinthian Chinese leather"...

'Corinthian leather', was something he came-up with. There is no such thing. He thought it 'sounded' better than to say 'leather upholstry'.

Since the state runs everything in Chinese government, the Chinese government is selling corpses to cosmetics companies?? We should DEFINITELY trust these guys with our weapons secrets... and there's NO QUESTION we can count on their ethics in defending Iran's nuke program...
