Just wait until the Chinese become the new Soviets. And then lo mien becomes freedom noodles! Then we'll see who has the last laugh.Originally posted by Q Classic View PostNot our fault that we had better marketing and branding here. People think of us as kung-fu masters, mathemagicians, compuwhizzes, SCIENCE!-tists, and gold farmers. You're the guys who have those wonky new-agey weirdos, and bad tech support centers.

Law firms (and other business entities with no liability shield) have a practice known as "Chinese walls" to reduce their liability and to head off conflicts of interest before they occur.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View PostJust wait until the Chinese become the new Soviets.
