If not for capitalism we'd all be queueing up for hours in the public hospitals. Now we have choices. Capitalism says if you want a different service you have to pay for it. That it brings society into lust for money is the unsurprising consequence however.

Finding hospital for birth is a personal choice for a significant life event. Good idea to be informed of different options.
I wasn't suggesting that any listener would be persuaded to change their views, i just meant it to get them off your back, showing it's a cultural difference. "You guys are afraid of getting cold, us guys are not."
The fact that many Chinese people 'fear getting cold' presumably remains from a time when there was less medicine available, and getting sick was potentially more serious. Perhaps a method could be to reassure a concerned local that you do not fear the cold, and on such a warm day there is no need to fear the cold!
I have been one of those annoyed parents, i can sympathise. But what do you think is the motivation of those locals who comment about lack of sufficient clothes? Medically accurate or not, they sincerely believe the child could get sick, so what do they do? Maybe a Westerner would ignore the situation ("if they don't know how to care for their child, serves them right when the baby gets sick"). But the Chinese person speaks up with concern. Perhaps annoying, but quite sweet when you reflect about it.

Posted byI think creationists also claim some scientific proof for their position (presumably making different interpretations than evolutionists), but also relying upon more than science alone. Existence does not derive or consist of intellect alone, but also of the heart and the soul. Evolutionists usually do not comprehensively address existence in this way. Thus the theories have different purposes, so try and contrast them on a scientific basis alone (even when one cannot fully disprove the other anyway) is only looking at part of the picture. Apples and oranges.

Posted byEvolutionism is not fully proven, yet many people still believe it. Belief without full proof is also faith! Just a thought.

Posted byBeing tongue-in-cheek I used the emotive term propaganda. If there were ulterior motives of evolutionists, it would be to claim they have through science "disproved" an alternative explanation of origins such as creationism, proponents of which do not usually purport to rely on science alone anyway. However as you agreed, even science has not proven evolutionism. Thus to claim that it has, doesn't that seem something like propaganda?

Posted byMy comment was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, following on from the discussion on the other thread recently about evolutionism. I was just saying, like Alien indicated above, that this is a theory not beyond doubt as to its validity, and open to revision and reinterpretation. Other forms of science are verified through experimentation and observation, but that does not apply to evolutionism, for which those methods are not available. Despite all of this, pronouncements by evolutionists seem to be treated unquestionedly as fact rather than speculation and interpretation.
