How many fights can the Chinese Government pick at a time before they realize they bit more than they can handle?

[Leatherneck 693]

I agree. We don't want unneeded bannings.

I have at last count 3 million safe miles so far. I get certificates yearly saying how awesome I am along with a hat pin. I am looking for local work now. I get calls constantly from recruiters begging me to come work for so and so company. I will not work for the drilling fluid companies as I value my life too much nowadays for some odd reason. I have 6 houses in the area I live in and want to be home and not far away. I was going to retire in a few years anyway.

That is precisely why I asked for some clarity -- to avoid a ban.

With 3 million accident free miles, that is impressive. I see your point, besides those 6 properties can do some heavy lifting for you.

Keep the shiny side up and the rubber on the pavement -- be safe man.

I see you have all been having a bit of fun since I was here last night .

Ok, for clarification purposes - it is not the use of abbreviations or initials that is the problem; it is the use of a word as a label that has a derogatory or offensive meaning. Chicom, while used to identify Chinese Communists, has also taken on a separate life in today's society that refers to something that is considered worthless, cheap, shoddy and poor quality. We have members from China on this forum and we have members associated with China on this forum. The reports complained that all Chinese were being labled as part of an offensive regime, when that is not the case, and that the word itself has become offensive for its reference to cheap, poor quality. We received more than one report finding the use of this word offensive, especially in the context in which it was used. Reviewing the original post and poll, it was also apparent that the word was meant to be taken offensively - thus the edits.

I'll let it go once, AJ, but not twice. I have removed your comment as it is a personal attack. You have the right to disagree with what I wrote but you can do it without resorting to name calling and insults.

MSM and Glucosamine Chondroitin are really good for arthritis fingers, LuckyTxn - and thanks.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Thanks. The doctor has prescribed Naproxen and it helps some. I tried those you mentioned and it helped to a point. I think your clarification will help most of all.

OK everyone our fun time is over in this thread.
