 Bribes, yes, Tips yes, Tax evasion yes

 

But you cannot put tips into the same category as Bribes and Tax evasion and you have forgotten extortion.

Thank you.You are right.

But some people is considered bribe as tip unfortunately.Because bribe is a crime, and tip is legal and so they put pribe into same category.

 

Extortion is a illegal job, concerned with the detection of crime, detective  and judicial, theft, burglary, robbery, larceny.

Bribe is a crime.

Tip is a special mistake or generosity  according to traditional custom.

 Extortion is the act of using violence to get what you want, not to do with the detection of crimes - it is a crime and often people are seriously hurt in such instances.  I know of cases of extortion in China when factory owners are threatened by officials or others that if they do not pay a fee their factories will be burnt down.

 

Bribery is often associated with a criminal and officials and avoiding being arrested for something they have done wrong.

 

A tip is something you give a waiter for doing a good job!!! It is not a special "mistake" but it is an act of generosity and yes it can be cultural.  Some cultures do not tip at all.

 

Tax evasion is something we would all like to do!!!

 Thanks...I didn´t have the energy (or the inclination) to explain all that! And..probably wouldn´t have done it so well lol

 

I would add that the seriousness (and frequency) of tax evasion is also cultural....and far more frequent in some countries than others ...(not mentioning any in particular... lol )

Well... I would be mostly surprised if shown a country with none... What depends, is the degree in which tax evasion and black economy are present.

 No,you did not hit a nerve with me,so nothing to be sorry GG. You should have known so far that I like fooling around.

If you were having fun it makes 2 of us.To tell the truth I do not have a view on you.We do not know each other from real life and virtual reality is not enough to form a view in my case.If you are wounded in which I don´t believe think how Alameda may feel from time to time.

And I do not think there is wonderful friendship between me and Porto although I like her way of perceiving world,her softness and diplomatic skills ,which I definitely lack.

She is an intelligent woman and she has the right to be perceived like an individual not like my alter ego.She is not me .

I am an escapist ,especially when  I have the feeling( perhaps wrong) that somebody surrounds me too much and insists too much.

Thank you for reading this GG,have a nice day{#lang_emotions_smile}

I agree, and the same symphaty goes from my part to... Adana, the bird, because she is a very sensible, literary gifted, intelligent woman.

And I also coop in not being mistaken with Adana, she is definitely a person I love to have a talk with.

Girly Girl,

 

our roads are crossing from time to time, and i have to regretfully admit, that the things I enjoy most in my communication with you when crossroads, are my replies... and I was never narcissistic!

 

 

First of all I do not like your way of posting - I do not know you in real, so I will and can only resume to this - I have seen this slide, back-scratching (hope you do not mind me noticing the back-scratch, I am very sensitive, sometimes I cannot help feeling... comes from a very good masseur lady I know ) wit several times, and I found it not so conquering.

In fact, I find this empty temptous style little boring. But I am not the one to be entertained with, so until now I refreained remarking it.

 

Secondly, please stop being SOoo SMART about friendships involving me, you might get very surprised... By me coming at you, who could almost be my grandmother...

 

Thirdly, preferably keep your privacies as they are - especially if about me! Thank you in advance. If curious about me, you will be mostly welcomed to a private message - probably unresponsed.

 

PS 1: I do not melt in on your opinions and sticky remarks about personal correspondence in general, because I think it is everyone´s business... except when you will start cleaning the world by deversing huge amounts of dirty loundry in public, adding to this an emoticon like: {#lang_emotions_razz} this one!

 

PS 2: I found your attitude lightly superficially flubdub - maybe that is because of cultural differencies, after all, I am from eastern-central Europe and we ... THINK differently

 

My regards to your friends and your privacy.
