I have seen them new and 2nd hand in several weight classes 6-20kg at the secondhand market zhangguanying. The market is right at the 2nd ring on Puji road - get off bus 1 at the stop Yunnan Jiaotong College, cross the road and go down any alleyway (they all lead to the market). You can get anything there.
Geezer - the Harlem example does not fall short of establishing a proven fact. It is documented how the SOME OF THE blacks and the whites in Harlem conducted their separate economies in harmony. I was'nt around at the time, and you may say that one or a few examples don't make a case, but on a long enough timeline everyones survival rate drops to zero. This is not a case of defining the environment to suit the condition, but you're right in that I could have used slightly milder terms - it is not a universally proven fact. Neither is your or my existence, nor Schrödingers cat, if you want to stretch it. Though Smith does not specifically talk about free markets, he does talk extensively about subventionalism (i.e. the opposite), and one can subtract 1 from 11 and get...10 or 1 :) The liberties I take in my interpretations of Smith are no more liberal than the "flavour" added by the translation of Marx's work, I refer specifically to the negative intonation associated with the word "exploitation". I in no way blame capitalism "for the universally human propensity to stereotype and pigeonhole other humans"" - its the LACK of it that I blame! Take the case of the discriminated black/yellow/red teachers. I would say, if the boss wants a white face - Great! Let him have it! The reason he wants a white face is not relevant to my theory, which is that pretty soon some mom will say to her neighbour, "hey, guess what, I was kinda broke last semester so I was forced to hire a black/red/yellow tutor, and my kid got A grades!". The market in my hypo case, moms, will soon come to realise as a group that black/red/yellow teachers are just as good as whites/blues/greens, causing prices, conditions, and respect to approach equilibruim. Another theory, this time a bit more far-fetched, is that by forcing the employer to consider other races than the one he actually wants, he may get the idea that the white face is harder to get hold of, thus it must be someway better. I say let folks do what they want, and soon enough they will learn from their mistakes, if they are indeed mistakes.

Ive smoked pure tobacco in a villiage in turkey. I was drunk at the time but thats not why i puked.
the farmers take it in from the fields in cars, tuktuks, bikes, lorries, horseback, whatever. The schoolyard is covered with black plastic and the raw tobacco is spread out on it. Some sections are mixed with fruit, to be used for shisha pipesmoking. Anyhow, its not really dry before all the kids come and walk all over it. Up and down they walk, all day long, trampling and mixing the tobacco. An utterly disgusting stench rises and its everywhere. I think, it must be possible to smell this shit from miles away. Well, many of the 'real men', myself included, smoked it while its still moist. Using bits of coal to keep it burning. The coal enters the lungs as vapour but inside it crystallizes - after a few years smoking arabic pipes i had to quit, HAD to, because of the coal in my lungs. Well, i only saw the harvesting process once but the one thing that sticks in my mind is the kids feet. Surely they must be discoloured for the rest of their lives. Maybe even stinking raw tobacco for a lifetime, i dont know.
Then there's the social element. disclose.tv had a great show about a drug called crocodile which is methodically destroying some russian border towns, and everyone in them. Even in that case I could'nt distinguish any justification for legal OR SOCIAL persecution of the users. In the russian case, they were their own dealers, manufacturing the drug themselves according to recipies found on facebook and ingredients bought OTC at 24 hour pharmacies. So indeed, what to do? Suggest to start by seeing the users, ALL of them, as victims. ?
Hfcampo over and over tries to insinuate that being addicted to something is a choice that an individual makes. And a further implication is that the addict continues to decide to be addicted on an ongoing basis.
I dont think thats correct at all. Nobody ever decided 'im gonna try to be a junkie/chainsmoker/alco/obese'. Nobody. But how to formulate another counterargument escapes me at the minute. There are various opinons on whether the tendency to be addicted is genetic. However i think hfcampos post adequately describes why nicotine addiction is not (just) genetic, but also chemical. So on the one hand we have the chemical element (treat all drugs as poisons, and the addicts as victims) and on the other hand we have the physiological/psychological element (treat addicts as mentally/physically allergic to a 'harmless' substance). In neither of these arguments can i see a case for legal OR SOCIAL persecution of users. Dealers, however, including cigarette companies, knowingly expose substances to the public, in full knowledge that their profits generate hardship yet contribute absoloutely nothing to society. Except tax dollars and a need for rehabilitation.
american gothic was a fantastic tv show, 90's i think. great fun and entertainment, as well as a latent, intelligent philosophical proposal. sheriff calebs proposal was, more or less, everyone is guilty.
yapp, agreed. can't force someone to be free. i think id need to be high before i could continue down that line of thought :)

Nice atmosphere and cosy but the western food is bad. I think they deep-fry the burgers. As a cafe - 4 stars (service is a little bit lacking at times), coffee and cakes etc are good. As a restaurant, 2 stars (western food is too bad, asian food is mamahuhu).
"All the Meat" only had about 3 slices of salami on it, so maybe i got the wrong order. Anyway, leaving that aside - soggy bread, ketchup as tomatosauce, and cheese was probably from a tube.
Potato wedges soggy as well.
I left half my meal, the only thing up to scratch was the coke and the service. Will not be back.
If the name of the shop is written in english then they should speak english, yes! A pokey shithole trying to give the impression of a quaint li'l ole bookshop. Pig-ignorant staff, never been greeted with a smile there, nor even greeted. If you must shop here, bring your own bag. 1 star earned for selection and the (for me) convenient location.
