Out of Your Mind Series 2

I do not mind to pay $15 USD first and receive a rebate in my Paypal account a couple of weeks later. But I do mind to enable my account with unlimited sending and withdrawals ability. In addition, what’s the point for a US company to check my HK bill for any kind of verification? Oops, I have forgotten that I have entered a US phone number during registration, for Paypal expects everybody to have a US phone number (format) while Paypal is doing business worldwide. LOL.

It is pretty logical if you think as a 17 century people.

“羅馬大學教授聯署 拒教宗到訪 2008年1月17日

【明報專訊】意大利羅馬薩皮恩察(La Sapienza) 大學物理系逾60名教授，不滿教廷對伽利略和科學精神的看法，聯署拒絕教宗本篤十六世(Pope Benedict XVI)周四到該校發表演講，並獲一批左派學生響應，結果惹起爭議。教宗昨罕有決定取消演講。有支持教宗的人士質疑師生「不尊重言論自由」，教廷更呼籲教徒出席周日的祈禱會，表態支持教宗。

教宗棄訪問 教廷籲信徒聲援

抗議本篤十六世到訪的師生，指他出任教宗前，曾發表演說，公開說17世紀教廷對伽利略的審訊是公平恰當。伽利略因主張地球繞日運行，遭當年的教會施壓。”
