But, just...I agree with both Abdullah and Jimsarno. But, just one point.<br /><br /> Newspapers anywhere in the world are a valid source. Any Citizen has right to good health. <br /><br />So, if trusted newspapers write stories like the one mentioned. A person who has fair income but no internet connection what is he supposed to do??? She will believe the article given in newspaper. And may feel that even if it is expensive she should go for it, because it protects you from so many diseases.<br /> So, please newspapers, don't say that we don't have any responsibility, it's always personal responsibility.<br /><br />Or you mean to say that people should not trust newspaper. They should consider the news as "may be true" then check and then believe...Shamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-44620608908088152052010-02-09T16:30:43.292+04:002010-02-09T16:30:43.292+04:00Hmm, that is true, which is why I didn't take ...Hmm, that is true, which is why I didn't take it in the US.

A misleading newspaper front page advertorial misrepresenting claims, a good Doctor mis-stating the facts on a product, and a private hospital charging exorbitant prices. But this type of camel sh*t is not exclusive to Oman, and remember the universal rule- 'let the buyer beware.' In this day of the internet and google, it is so easy to check facts, but then so few Omanis have access to the internet.Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596118994410731450noreply@blogger.com
