Welllllllllllll, I once saw a cool photo of the gold covered mass damper ball. But I can't find it tonight. Guess the above is the best I can do. Cheers.
have you ever delt with Samsung construction group? Gain some experience before whitewashing with a broad humanitarian brush.
We'd all appreciate it if you'd keep your religious views to yourself...remember: lead by example! Quietly!
I find the hypocrisy in your demand/request to be rather thunderous.
No I haven't.
I'm sure, however, that the money folks at the site have the foresight to put in place some heavy duty project heads and inspectors.
In some contexts--I'm told even in the USA--every load of cement has to be inspected.
I just don't think blackwashing a race of people is all that fitting. There can be cultural differences in terms of what's routinely sanctioned etc. But mostly, people are pretty much the same around the world.
I find it exceedingly cheeky that you demand the privilege of sharing whatever you feel like sharing with whatever comments, implications, wording, references, flavors, embelishments, asides etc. out of your value system that you feel the least bit fitting--
while insisting that I must not have the same privilege.
Cheeky, indeed.
