  1. Re:Taiwan != China on Foxconn Sees New Source of Cheap Labor: The United States · · Score: 2
    In a way correct but a bit oversimplified. Though Hong Kong and Macau (part of the PRC) do have a rather high GDP per capita as well, just saying.

    You are right in that it has a political system of it's own without direct interference from Beijing, but it's status as a nation IS controversial and not many nations recognize them as such nor maintain official diplomatic relations with them. Also, some Taiwanese nationalists would agree that they are the same nation (but of course they think China should not be ruled by the CPC).

    Last time I went there, the official name of Taiwan was something like the Republic of China and I think it still is.

    How can i make a first post if i have nothing insightful nor informative to say. Saying something funny would no doubt get me labeled as some kind of pervert.

    So does he have a written report of it, or are you suggesting that he merely has a written report of it? I mean it, as in the report of it, perhaps of the report. Of it, if you follow.

  9. Re:Time Travelling Tomatoes! on Singapore Builds First Vertical Vegetable Farm · · Score: 1

    What would happen if the capitalists would do if they got their hands on time-travel? When you realize what interests someone is going to have, you could go back and bombard them with related advertising from their birth! I'm sure the lobbyists would persuade the governments to make it possible charge you for purchases you haven't even thought of yet! Apple could at least go back and change the world so it's more similar to the maps, best solution they could hope for at least. Most likely that way they could copyright the world and set Google back for decades!

    I have no doubt that their products are grown unsustainably. Most people wash Chinese vegetables with soap for fear of the chemicals that may remain on them.

    THEY HAVE TO EAT CHINESE VEGETABLES ZOMG THATS SO HORRIBLE!

    Meanwhile in China 1,4 billion people are chewing away on domestic produce. Though there have been some food safety scandals, I don't see anyone over here using soap that way at least.

  14. Re:Why be happy? on Researchers Crown Buddhist Monk the World's Happiest Man · · Score: 1
    So with this strict and quite agreeable definition, would it be so that only a person with a complete lack of empathy could ever be acing unselfishly in doing good for others?

    Any person who feels better from seeing others be happy, or at least other's not suffering, could be considered selfish if they act with the purpose to make others feel this way. While a psychopath who do not gain anything from others joy, could be considered unselfish if he acts the same way.

    Somehow I still feel there could be a more useful definition of the word, even though I'm sure this thought is horribly selfish in it's own.

    Your comment is pretty hilarious if you actually read the article or know anything about custody or prison in Sweden. Would it be better if he was thrown in a cage with other, no doubt, rather more hardened criminals?

    And with Ryanair you need to add a lot of costs like:
