Charlie Sheen is not filial - Bejing global times

Yeah, freedom and free speech. Double-edged swords. People have the freedom to be stupid. That's just part of the territory.

the authorities would have taken firm steps to make sure someone like Sheen did not make a public spectacle of himself.

I sure believe that, but somehow, I'm not comfortable with that as a tradeoff. Clamp down so the ChazMan can't shoot himself in the foot? I don't think so. Let Charlie "win" all he wants. It's no skin off my onion and I'm sure not embarrassed by it. I'll accept responsibility for my own actions, but anyone trying to project the antics of the latest spoiled, over indulged Hollywood brat onto me is wasting their time if they expect me to care.
