You'd be shocked at how many people get really offended if you tell them to stop using Gmail. It's like telling someone who likes to bitch about how crap TV is to stop watching - it's just utterly out of the question. You'd think it would be easy to search for "free email provider", go to page 17 of results, and pick some random one. You would also be dead wrong.

You're talking about *being* in China. It is entirely different when Chinese people visit your home country on business. They will deal with your country's Chinese population (the only part of your people that matter). Foreigners that speak Chinese? That is a wonderful diversion, to be sure. It's like a performing seal being brought to the meeting. But for serious business, get the barbarian out of here and let's talk amongst civilized people.

Our fucked-up civilization is why diabetes is so prevalent in the first place. If we all went back to a natural diet diabetes would be greatly decreased. You know the movie "Idiocracy"? That's what happens to a society that abandons natural selection and lets low IQs breed out of control.

I disagree - it does. If only in retrospect. "Pocketwatch" has the insinuation of "those morons were too dumb to figure out the wristwatch." Our current culture is really really bad about 20/20 hindsight. Anything that was thought of ten minutes ago should have been thought of ten years ago and those people who didn't think of it are stupid. I wish I was wrong, but sadly this attitude is quite common.
