The exchange rate for the Yuan is about 8 per US dollar, which means
your fillings cost about 160 Yuan. How much does a loaf of bread cost in
China in Yuan?

So the cost your fillings is 32 times the cost of a loaf of bread,
comparable to the cost in western countries.

The cost for *my* 2 fillings is 160 yuan, which enables the purchase of
32 loafs of bread.  Thus one filling enables the purchase of 16 loafs
of bread.

How many loafs of bread does it take to have a filling done in affluent
America?

I'm not sure, but since someone in your financial bracket would have
dental insurance, the cost would be much less than 32 loaves of bread, I
would think.

And in America, dentists have to pay for their offices and equipment.
They also have to buy malpractice insurance.

Why did you have to replace the filling?

This is enough of an answer from you.  The rest of your reply is a
waste of time and space in socialist Norway.

Gosh, that's rich coming from you. No, Norway is not a socialist
country. Norway is a capitalist country.

You, on the other hand, are bragging about how cheap dental work is in
your communist country, where the state pays all major expenses for the
dentist.

Look up ironic in the dictionary. I bet you will find your picture there.

Yikes. I see "Pine." You're using a bozo software package, forget filters.

Yeah, I know.  I like my bozo sofware, tho.  I learned on this software
ancient years ago, and I still like it better than what is offered by my
former employer.  Part of my retirement benefit is free e-mail for life,
y'see.  So it's either Pine or Mulberry.  I don't like Mulberry very much,
but I use it occasionally when I want to send or open an attachment.  Pine
is almost the same as the original Berkeley mail.

Well, eliminating tinnitus probably requires change. Switching to
Firefox or Opera could be the first step.

ooops! That's a scam, isn't it.

No, they're both free. Wheeew!. That was close.

Y'know what?  I'll do as I please.  Your sarcasm is uncalled for.  Let me
know when you've "eliminated" your tinnitus.  I've habituated to mine.
Arguing with me about which software programs I choose to use is a sign to
me that you just like to argue.  Now I understand why you go doggedly back
and forth with fypoon.

"Well, eliminating tinnitus probably requires change" -- sounds sarcastic
to me.

Maybe you aren't as habituated as you thought.

This is a total non sequitur meant only to insult.  Habituating to my
tinnitus doesn't mean I've lost my spine or my ability to tell someone
like you that I'll do as I please.  I will not play word games with you.
You can do that with fypoon.  You are a troll just like he is -- have fun
trolling each other.  I'll not respond to you again.

Maybe you're right. Maybe you had no sense of humor to begin with.

That you and others have been lurking and reading is a clear reflection
that whatever goes on between myself and Martin has more value beyond
what 'bozo' filter can handle.

I have not had one done in decades (but I've had several gols caps
installed.

Today, I expect a filling to be about US$100, whcih converts to between
50 nd 200 loaves of brad, depnding on bread elegance.

Mine typically come in at $150-$225 Canuck for plastic fillings. These
are usually slightly more expensive than the mercury amalgam ones.

I don't buy bread so I cannot say. I think $1.29-$3.49 a loaf

Martin, why bother???????

(But if you really want a juicy topic then you oughta compare the
mortality rates at chinese hospitals and dentist offices with the US.
Are these numbers even available in China?)

I believe they are but I doubt how reliable they are. By the way, has
there been a noticeable amount of death in US dental offices?  You are
joking, arent' you?
