a couple years before these chinese food scandals came out, i saw this program on the life of chinese yuppies. the mom would go out and buy her vegis in the morning so she could soak them in water all day. when asked why she did this she said it to get rid of the chemicals and pesticides and was common practice in china. stopped buying chinese produce after that.

she can either: - suck it up and do her duty as princess i.e. attending all official events with her husband instead of just those that she wants to (i wanna go to spain but don't wanna go to brazil). she's smart enough to know what she was getting into. - try to change the system. she doesn't have to listen to kunaicho and actually they should be the ones listening to her so just do what you want and tell kunaicho to f-off. - get a divorce.

these shippers are trying to get off cheap. arming the ships would be cheaper than paying the ransomes.

too bad their "fuel surcharge" has no relation to their fuel cost as its not required by law. otherwise explain how the "fuel surcharge" for australia is less than for hawaii.

wouldn't a sign on the atm be sufficient? then the 58,000 could be put to actually catching some criminals.

there are places for them live but they choose not to live there. they build semi-permanent shelters on prime public land, denying public use and enjoyment of the land, but paying no taxes or rents. they only work when they need money for booze or cigarettes but are not willing to put their nose to the grindstone and save for the future. i'm sorry but i have no sympathy for that.

china is a nation of cheats.
they cheated with lip syncing this ode to the motherland they cheated with the olympic fireworks they cheated intellectual property rights owners of their rights they cheated the tibetians of their rights they cheated on their promised free internet access. they cheated using a 14 yr old gymnast. the question is what won't they cheat at.

what they really need to do is make obviously frivolous calls to police/emergency services a crime with mandatory jail time and/or fines. the problem is the police will enforce it for about a month and then forget about it.

at least jetblue is up front about it and you can keep the pillow. how come JAL's "fuel surcharge" is so much more than NWA's? why is there no fuel surcharge on domestic fares?

they are entitled to their free speech but my question is why the police don't stop them when they run stop lights which impunity. i mean these buses go barrelling thru redlights long after the light has changed and the police do nothing.
