Disgusting if true.

Acquiring wealth is not a good reason for getting a PhD anyway, and in Religious Studies and many other fields it is a particularly absurd one.
I'm about ready for that Smirnov test, better way to spend my time.
@redjon: I don't know of anywhere in Kunming that I would describe as not being 'foreigner friendly'. And there are lots of bars where 'foreigners' (i.e., westerners) go other than O'Reilly's (which is okay - lots of sports coverage), and other restaurants than Wicker Basket (which is indeed a good place to buy bread, and they have a nice salad bar).
Can't get ExpressVPN to work - when I try to load it, my server cuts off before it can load.
Saw an article on Xinjiang, from Al Jazeera, on yahoo news - wanted to comment, couldn't; tried to load ExpressVPN, couldn't; shut down computer, restarted without VPN, looked for article on Yahoo news - it was no longer there.
In the long run this sort of petty batshit controlfreakery will not work - twinky electronics will win the day. Meanwhile, I've got better things to do than jump through the twinky electronic hoops that are set for me.
No results found.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Posted by@dolphin: The fact is you don't have a convincing alternative to the evolutionary explanation of fossils embedded in limestone strata that is tens and hundreds of millions of years old. Has there been nonsense thanks to the profit motive and the entertainment industry? Of course.
Now tell us what the lufengosaurus remains represent, and how you know, or anyway why you think so.

Posted by@cloudtrapezer: For some reason I imagined it was the tourists who started it, after being 'rightfully admonished' - anyway, I'm not necessarily endorsing oar-swinging by anybody, but it sounds to me like the tourists are the problem that needs to be worked on, not the local vendors.

Posted byI believe the statement that "museums do not have any actual dinosaurs" is simply false - true of SOME 'museums', I'm sure.
Since dinosaurs were only 'discovered' in 1840 and since those who built the Great Wall should have, according to you, come across dinosaurs fossils, then who is it that you think put the fossils in the rock between the building of the Great Wall and 1840?
I base my belief (willing to be corrected, though, by any further data) that lufengosaurus lived on a trust in the findings of people in a scientific field the basic principles of which I understand, and I have no reason to think that they might be either liars or dupes. Since you don't recommend the web site and don't think the article is completely reliable and don't give a reason for doubting the reliability of tens of thousands of geologists and paleontologists, then what do you base your distrust of the authenticity of lufengosaurus on?
Dolphin: Would you consider that you might simply be mistaken about lufengosaurus? If not, why not?

Posted byIn this dispute, I'm with the local vendors. Tourists often act like a-holes away from home, and relatively well-off hotel and business- owners who provide them with their tourist experiences are much to blame as well. Tossing sunflower seeds is pretty minor, but I'm with the local vendors, and the incident seems to demonstrate the very real growth of environmental consciousness in China over the past 15 years or so... well, among some, anyway.
