LOL! there is no such thing as loyalty in gangs, only self-interest. police has more loyalty among themselves.<br /><br />secret societies are still v widespread. this is due to old ss members recruiting new members and school bullying. the victim had to join gangs for protection. need to re-detain all these old gangsters under criminal law. and crush the new gangs, especially with links to m'sial. they are a terror there cos m'sial police takes bribes and 'protection' money from these gangsters.<br /><br />so did the courts sentence these useless sam sengs to death? or just rioting etc which means 2-=4 years with caning. they should all be hanged, in public. force those anti-death penalty and human rights parasites to attend and watch.

Katanas are steel, and so with their craftsmanship I'd expect the best katanas to be superior to the Sword of Goujian, however, I don't know specifics of the strength of Goujian's Sword. This makes it hard for me to say how it would stack up against more average katanas, or other iron/steel swords, as the Sword of Goujian is clearly an exceptional example of a bronze sword. But, I would at least expect exceptional steel swords, such as the Ulfberht swords, fine katanas, and blades of Damascus steel.<br /><br />Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849906663819075542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249019585569184552.post-5117022011730833552016-08-29T09:46:13.215+08:002016-08-29T09:46:13.215+08:00Things happened for a reason so be thankful for ev...Things happened for a reason so be thankful for everything.<br />Thank you for your wonderful article.
