2cents said:Your example is very interesting and makes sense. Actually it is a perfect example. Thanks.
My point: "Durian is more expensive than banana" is a fact, can be verified by price check. But Hcyong's point "Durian is very delicious" is arguable, because some people may not think it's delicious at all. I, personally, feel it smells very bad.![]()
Thanks for your good example.

...and yes let's get back to discussing the topic at hand...as we don't want this thread to veer off topic..alfa2 said:yeah, i hate durian too......but to alot of ppl in MAS (ppl like my granny), they would say it's kinda stupid not to love durian, coz to them it's very tasty and delicious. Are we in a Fruit Selling Forum by the way???![]()
2cents said:I fully understood what you mean. But I have to remind you that those data are corrected by atlas methods to reflect the purchasing power parity. That's not the exact money people get.
If mining more details, we will find for the workers at the same skilled level, China is the least paid place to work. That's the reason China economy's booming. Nevertheless, Chinese personal income is still among the poorest,
That's a bigger topic than badminton, let's back to the badminton issues.![]()
2cents said:In badminton countries, Indonesia is another one of the poorest, I've mentioned that before. I even said the expenses for new comers beginning from lower tournaments will hurt Indonesia much more than the Chinese new stars.
Badminton is an interesting sports. Unlike most other sports, badminton power houses are either the wealthiest countries, like Denmark, or the poorest countries, like Indonesia.

From what i've just read quickly, it looks like Taufik is again, putting the "blame" on PBSI. It's also quite ironic when he said(in the 2nd half of the article) that he wants PBSI to confirm in advance players who will go to tournaments overseas. Thing is, isn't he on the list and have gotten his airplane tickets/accommodation booked for the AE?? What is he worried abt?? What is he waiting for?? I really don't understand what is he trying to accomplish by protesting and not going to the AE?? Further, what's his business anyway, in trying to be concerned abt the well being of the other players?? Can't he just behave like any other Pelatnas players and follow order??..Maybe i need to go back and re-read the whole article again and try to get a much clearer picture of what is he trying to say or what his point is...![]()

what you said here is true, butfabcargo said:
- We are not Taufik Hidayat so we cannot judge him or guess what he thinks...
- He is protesting PBSI and withdrew from AE...SO WHAT? Life goes on.
- Why are we all so upset and thinks that Taufik owes us something and must go to AE and play??
- Taufik does not owe anyone anything and he is free to do whatever he wants. PERIOD
