That is only one of the reasons but it is also due to how the business is run and how they respond to changing market situations and trends. Book stores like Barnes & Noble seem to be doing OK. Nearer home, Kinokuniya and Page One seems OK. "That CD Shop" is still around long after Virgin...

Happy to hear that. All's well that ends well but it sure gave you some stressful moments. In future, ask for Cashier's Order!

I would be very careful taking advice from forums where people give their own personal opinion which may or may not be accurate or is only half correct. If a person issues you a cheque and it bounced because he made a mistake in writing it or has insufficient funds but he then quickly sends you...

Rebuke or rebut? But never mind. Next time, waste no time . . dont just sit on your butt . . get things done pronto or else, see, now you lost that chance!;) Still, it was a pity you didnt get your apologies despite your threats! :) Never mind la, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win...

So, back to the topic of exploitation of women, you are now saying that because the lingerie company is competing, so it is resorting to exploitation? Now I ask you, just because exploitation exists, will you just accept it or ignore it? Or you put your foot down and say "no, I cannot accept...

Some of you may think I am crazy, argumentative or whatever but since this is a discussion forum, I must rebutt any comments against mine if I dont agree. But that does not mean I do not respect your opinions . . we live in a society where different views result in an ever changing world or...

Not just OT but I think you are very confused about the meaning of competition and exploitation. Why should competition lead to exploitation? If someone strives to be better, he will have to work harder, work smarter, etc. If he 'competes' by 'looking for ways to exploit other channels', you...

I summise that you come from Indonesia where there is also "law" but does law necessarily lead to "just", especially now that you are in Singapore and experiencing our 'law' environment? Well, we shall not talk politics nor get out of point here and I am not saying anything about the law in...

Actually re-reading this gave me the impression that you have already judged me as wrong for 'living in a static world' and looking thru a glass eye' - a negative connotation because you disagree with my opinion. So therefore, it would be interesting if you can elaborate in case I misunderstood...

So, please correct me if I understood you wrongly but if, say, a paedophile sought out a 12 year old girl from a poor family in Cambodia, have sex with her and then paid her, that is NOT exploitation because she was paid? Now this discussion is out of the point of this topic but I am merely...

I went to the beginning of this thread and read thus: I saw a big lingerie advertisement near a bus stop along Pasir Ris Drive 1. It shows frontal view of a bigger-than-life semi-nude model, wearing only panties, her bare chest covered by her arms. It is strategically located where there...

I read and re-read the relevant postings and I cannot see how I offended you . . so please elaborate. Hint : read the way my sentence was constructed. In my profession, I will never allow myself to be in a position where I am sued for libel. Having said that, I now take umbrage at your...

The topic is "XZ-1 Where and how much" If starting a new thread is a waste of time, then it is also a waste of time to those who are looking for info on how where and how much is the ZX-1, agree? New topic, new thread - it is good organisational practice or else just lump everything under...

I am not a religious person, fear of God doesnt mean I am religious but just a personal value of doing the right thing not to exploit others. Having said that, I am very clued to the world, open-minded and well-travelled. I cant change the world. I have to accept that there are people with...

That being the case, that ad should be in lad magazines like FHM! I have nothing against that. I have nothing against those young women posing semi-naked in FHM . . that is their choice. But I wonder if they would show those magazine pictures to their fathers? :) Having said that, I have...
