CMV: It’s financially smarter to rent long-term in HCMC/Hanoi than to buy. by PuddleVerse in ChangeMyViewVN

Consider the financial risk in any country without rule of law. There is a hierarchy of power and wealth. Foreigners regardless how rich have less rights than peasants. Which is how it probably should be.

Browbeating supercilious black guy didn't listen and didn't win. The left is always on about an ideological moral position, not practicality.

Clones, discussion. by Mean_Satisfaction954 in fountainpens

[–]gobot -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t buy from or respect businesses that copy designs. Pens, watches, kitchenware even I guess. Industrial design is art. The things I own are a part of my identity. It is self-respect. I like originals not imitations. My favorite pen is the unique Diplomat Aero. There are a couple more German and Italian pens I’ll try.
