...on the label?
Products such as alcohol and cigarettes must contain exact details of their nutritional content, their additives as well as display clear warnings of potential threats to health.
Examples:
Not to be sold to minors.
Can lead to disease and premature death.
Please use this product responsibly; recommended daily units are...
Contains nuts.
I can't find any of these on the M-C packaging. Can you explain why?
I intend to offer rewards to the best posters in each of three categories: Humour,Best of Breed and Lucid Analysis.
In the event of the last one being unclaimed I will make a donation of £50 to Médecins sans Frontières.

UK Border Agency queried the same thing, namely that there weren't any filter tips.

The trouble with ag's analogy is that in real life it is the white cells that produce antibodies to foreign antigens...
... and how can one label a concept, especially one that means different things to different people.

".. and how can one label a concept, especially one that means different things to different people?"
Yes, indeed, Slaney. There's Sandy's definition, for instance: he thinks it's all about Indian restaurants. Well, amen to that say I.
But culture is more than what you like to eat, or what you choose to wear. Culture is belief, custom and moral attitude. Include these factors in the definition then multi-culturalism is self-evidently a nonsense. To suggest otherwise (as many in the chattering classes and their numerous allies on AB do) and, worse, to conflate opposition to the nonsense with racism/Islamophobia or whatever is a sign of mental and moral confusion.

v_e; It appears what you are saying in a veiled manner, is that you profoundly despise the religion of Islam, but multi-culturism has gone on for centuries, we 'hosts' are all related to the Norman conquerors and MC includes hundreds of other groups; Australians, Italians, Greeks, Asians of all description have made an enormous contribution to what is British, N.J. is quite correct though to point out the unevenness of distribution, but the total numbers are not as high as you may fear.

Hello, Khandro. About to order takeaway from our newest Indian. Will confirm my credentials as good European by washing it down with Chablis. (yes, we're back on that: wife complained about the Moldovan)

And I do apologise to those of lexical sensitivities for my coinage "multi-culturism"; I do know the word is multi-culturalism.

[Khandro]

wasn't sure, my spellchecker rejected both, so I used your version. :0)
