    A comment on Talk: Tan Le: My immigration story

    Mar 28 2012: Hi Anna, you commented too much..
    Anyway, I hope the next Vietnamese generation will achieve much more! This story is more sad than inspiring to me. Just to say.

  • A reply on Talk: Van Jones: The economic injustice of plastic

    Feb 11 2011: First, I am very confused by the way you use the word "you". Seem like you are trying to lump me into somethings else for your argument. Also this comment showed that you haven't stop a minute to listen at all, just all the same bla bla bla ...I read all your comments, not just the original.

    Anyway, I love to try one last time. OK. There is nobody getting cancer by using plastic although some plastic products in developing country are actually poisonous due to their insufficient local regulation but that is not relevant in this talk now. Here is how people get cancer that associate with plastic. It is when they are living near production plant or recycling plant that release chemicals in the process. And those people are in China or some even poorer country. And those chemicals hit those people better than when they have to travel an ocean to hit others. It is that simple.

    Feb 11 2011: @ Adam J.

    I love talking with you only if you stop being so political loaded. Capitalism is great, I know that. But it does not mean it is perfect. And if someone are trying to fix it, also doesn't mean he is communist.

    You are entitled to your opinion. I think I am done with your political mindset.

    One advice for you. Stop assuming that you know more than other like me. I am just not interested in arguing with you.

    Feb 11 2011: I totally don't understand your first paragraph. It was such a poor paragraph.

    About the later point you made. It just showed that you actually agree with Van Jones in your everyday life and that is great. The only thing that suck is that you try to deny his argument because of political reasons. If you guys are unable of logical reasoning, poor you!

    A reply on Talk: Van Jones: The economic injustice of plastic

    Feb 10 2011: The kind of background attack was clearly classified in my Critical Thinking textbook as Ad hominem attack, one of very dirty cheap attack. Make a search and see it yourself. I am not yet mentioning the fact you guys pointed out about his belief is true or not. Was it distorted ..or what ever.. but in this talk he does not seem "way ..out.......there" as you said. Stop being cheap!

    Feb 10 2011: Well, do we have a TED standard? Or it is your standard?

    Yup, it is not technology, not entertainment, not design. But it is an idea worth spreading!
