AI Thread Summary
The phrase "Insurance is a subject matter of solicitation" appears in insurance advertisements primarily due to regulatory requirements in the Indian insurance market. This disclaimer aims to clarify that the content is an advertisement, potentially reflecting a concern that consumers might not recognize it as such. The discussion highlights a perception that this requirement is demeaning, suggesting that it underestimates consumer intelligence. Comparisons are drawn to small print in loan advertisements, which serve to inform consumers about risks associated with financial products. Overall, the conversation critiques the necessity of such disclaimers and their implications for consumer awareness.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
