Comments on "Good point, China."

considering the recent spate of poisonous consumer goods from china, the headline should have read "is CHINESE water medicine or poison?"

is medicine water or poison? that would be more accurate when considering the crap that passes as medicine in china.

For the average Chinese urbanite, it depends: Do you have two filters on your tap and boil all your water? If yes, the former. If no, the latter.

This reminds me of a full-of-crap- TA for one of my philosophy classes who insisted that PURE unadulterated water was poisonous. I still sometimes wonder where he came up with that.

philosophy majors are dumb to begin with.

In China, even the pencil erasers are made out of lead.

kunming is a beautiful city in an amazing province.
and they have really good chou dofu (stinky tofu) which shouldn't make hester quite as squeamish.
