Magnifico, great, I thoroughly agree. In fact, in "The art of speaking and writing", Olof Lagercrantz argues that that is the whole reason for the development of the corporation: to become a psychopathical moneymaking machine, devoid of morals and ethics. Hence the success of stockmarkets as a medium for financial transactions.
In every transaction, including the sale of labour to an employer, two parties must (in a free market) agree on price and conditions. Indeed as misfit points out, sometimes one party is in a better bargaining position that the other. I suppose this might be down to culture, legislation, and other stuff.
:) I'm not prepared to fast. I am however prepared to do just about anything else. The strongest patches work for about 29 hours, then its over. There is no cure in patches, only temporary relief, and thats good enough for me at the moment. No cure exists - if it did, i believe that that cure would spread through the world in a matter of months, like a virus, albeit a good one.
Theres an old movie called "the man who stopped smoking". In the end je quits, but summarizes: the sum of vices is constant. I.e. stop with one vice means starting with another. Food for thought? :)
My experience: been using patches on and off for about 8 years. Stopping with patches leads to relapse. Basically, its one or the other - but not neither.
So what do y'all think are the chances of Britain benefitting from these events? What works for/against them? Certainly looks like the Great Britain events are being boycotted by the local britons...seems to me a bad sign if they cant even try to build relations with their own landsmen and women.
Well if it tastes good and might even do you some good, why not? The soup in the picture looks pretty tasty to me.
About tcm vs western drugs. Have any of you seen the VOLUME of tcm drugs people get? People are literally filling shopping bags at the tcm pharmacies.
As for western meds - i saw a docu which showed that for several drugs, the capsule itself was more beneficial tjan the actual drug inside :) Point 2 about western drugs: theres up to 6000% difference between the cost to produce and the price on the shelf. Whacked out.
Excellent. Everything you want is here, almost..new and used. Plenty of curiosity items, nostalgia, fakes, practical household items, bikes and e-bikes, tools, clothing, furniture etc. I was looking for a cheap portable DVD player but though there were plenty available, they were at best "last years model" ie too bulky.
Easy to spend a half day here, i dont feel like i got treated as a rich laowai i.e. first prices quoted were not outlandish, and the only problem was a lack of food options. Also - little or no putonghua here.
I disagree with the article on two points: 1. Its very taxi-friendly, or at least not worse than anyplace else i've been. Lots of empty taxis pass by (if you walk to the road, of course) 2.i thought it very easy to find and is on google maps.
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.

New taxi placards target 'civility'
Posted byHm ok banning cars won't work. How about a toll? Many countries and cities have done it - and by the way a discount for eco-friendly cars.
