True, but I wasn't considering US Law.

Note: 230-1 is defamation
Article 230-2(1)When an act prescribed under paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is found to relate to matters of public interest and to have been conducted solely for the benefit of the public, the truth or falsity of the alleged facts shall be examined, and punishment shall not be imposed if they are proven to be true.

That said, were the clinic to lose the defamation suit, I'd like to see a full public apology to the two reviewers, the reviews reinstated, and admission there is truth in the review. Only fair.

Depends. If it's pursuant to a defamation lawsuit... and slander and libel are things untrue... how is that review of lies helping your personal decision?

Not entirely germane, but were the reviews involved not anonymous I'd be more inclined to side with them: their reputation versus the reputation that feels slandered. By hiding behind anonymity, they aren't really feeling the burden an unsubstantiated declaration should entail.

I've seen people call in managers are 'big ticket' items and get price cuts that way (things with prices over 1,000) while at WalMart, at Sears, etc. Rather pissed me off to be honest, after having repeatedly told them we cannot negotiate the price, a manager comes in and blames us for being rigid but he will 'help them out'.

Another job in an electrical warehouse, prices were negotiated all the time. Losses were just taken out on clients with less ability or that bought less overall. Remember that smirk on the one guys face as he sold a lamp fixture at triple normal price, all because the old lady took it at face value that was its worth. Eventually that place went under. Good riddance.

So what you're making excuses for is 'women are inferior negotiators', 'because reasons'.

Why do you think there is such dread and menace in that whispery interrogative: "Do you know, the Muffin Man" . Medieval crime lords, worse than any yak.

Just to throw it out there for you: my retired grandparents did. Just as mine are doing so for my sibling's spawns.

It isn't unusual in some cultures for an extended family to care for children, thus allowing both parents to work.

May or may not result in kids with more emotional ties to the grandparents but, what can you do.

Well if there is no victim, then there isn't a problem is there? If everyone is a happy consenting adult...

You're right. It's sexist. It implies men can only be drawn in by sexual attraction. It implies men cannot be hired at the booths because the jobs are preferentially given to women. It implies women hold a power over men just by existing that reduces men to simmering hormonal idiots that then cannot make a rational decision because their libido trumps their common sense.

Oh wait, you were going for the women being the victim here. My mistake. Misuse of 'literal' should have been the flag.

Because a highly attractive suave man working a both scares off male customers, making them feel inferior, intimidated and oppressed, afraid to ask questions or draw a..

When that water falls from its vertical movement, how much horizontal movement is there compared to the initial wave? i.e. is it still going to devastate inland nearly as far?

*ahem*

You're assuming we used the same fake names multiple times. I know I've bought maybe a dozen things over the years from there, and never gave the same name twice.

It's kinda like an online petition that way

We tried to ban being cold, but when that failed, we regulated it instead.
