Based on your join date I can tell that you must be at least 2 and a half years old. This could explain how you went from "Chinese Traditional Medicine Sucks" to "No... its not what its all about, but animals are still dying because of it, being sold for it. I'm bitching about that part" but you...
I went to CHina for several months along and while I was out there I met a load of English students who were doing a similar thing to me -I was doing journalism with TPA- except with medicine. The stuff you are talking about is fairly marginal. The majority of chinese medicine isn't about...
As it's the English appreciation thread I figure you should be called out on your suggestion that the apostrophe in "don't" is diacritical. Diacritical is the same as accented. E.g. the little umlaut in naive - it's over the "i". So unless you can show me the error of my ways my new thing I hate...

I can't find anything about this brigade and I have been searching all day. Can someone help me please. Apart from the two articles, one on the sunday times website, one on fox, there's nothing that I can find.
I have the real solution, and because I like you people i'll tell you.
My first post held the secret: whiskey. Wrap yourself in several jumpers, consume a fair few glasses of preferred brand, drink some cheap supermarket cough medicine then get in bed and sweat the bugger out. The whiskey shall...
The source for this makes me dubious although they do claim to have received the word from "The Sunday Times" which must mean it's true.
If it is completely true then the answer is obvious, stop worrying about the whole nuclear thing and just eradicate every plastic explosive manufacturer we...
I realised that just as I came back to this thread. I would cover my intense shame at making such a stupid comment by editing the hell out of my original post but I think i'll let it stand as a testament to my chocolate-addled brain.
I still hate it being called gas. This changes nothing.

I have a facebook account I think. I don't really use the thing but if you can get in touch with reported bigots through it then I guess I called it all wrong. Please, oh god, please ask her what she meant by all of this, or something. Just help us peer into the mind of this creature.
