Its the best thing you can do. Iphones are way much better than Androids...and you can sell them at a good price whenever you dont wnt it anymore. Enjoy it!

Agree 1 sextillion percent!




Ok. Libertarian rant /off

Rwanda is a good example. My country went through the same a long time ago, the scars still can be seen. After that we became a country of education (liberty) because we put our money towards making sure we don't go at it again.


Because everyone values education, it has made our women free also. We don't need to be pretty to get what we want, and we don't need a man to support our offspring, if life takes a bad turn.

So much of world's problems would be solved if more women had this privilege to say fuck you asshole, I am raising my kids, making sure they can prosper, instead of having to send them to work for a dime so there would be food on the floor(tables are a luxury).

Rwanda is a tragedy because it served no economic or political purpose for anyone. Sad all around.

However, like every single nation, America's socioeconomic dynamic and cultural history is unique and as such, to compare what works and what doesn't work or to say that Americans should do like (insert country of choice) because it works there is no different than pointing out how imperialistic America unilaterally exports it's brand of capitalism and democracy to unwilling countries.

Yep yep yep. Agree again. Pop culture will say otherwise, though, and the vapid spokespersons of a generation (Kardashian, West, Hilton, Ghallichi, Bieber, etc...) is the tide you swim against.

You're closer to England than America. You know that, right?

Yes.

I still remember reading aamulehti (a newspaper) and looking at a picture. Too bad all skulls are white, otherwise we might pay attention earlier. I think I was 12 or something when this happened, and now, a few years later I still can not believe nobody did anything.

I object to the Bieber. I have found him useful once in my life.

The rest I had to google. All I can say is that I'm happy I don't have the ass or the personality, or the dogs to be one of them.

I'm here to help prep your English for your interview.

You can help stimulate the local economy and provide summer jobs to teens. As for the fingers, no worries. Just keep some ice in a ziploc bag and a full tank of gas at the ready.

We won't get rid of terrorists or famine before we give people real options to improve their lives. Despair is the best way to insure we and our kids are reading shitty news all the time.

(I'll stop hippie shit now)

Some good debate here.





Won't write where I stand. (As both knows already).

It seems reasonable people, even if in opposite ends of the hopefulness chart can talk about issues without turning it into a fight. For a dct driver, I find mr C5 (which is btw my all time most hated Citroen model) an extremely wise man.

There I've complimented a member! You can take screen shots to commemorate this moment.

Indeed C5 is actually a Citroen model .

And now, social activism has been reduced to a convenient hashtag from their iPhone while sipping their Venti Frapp at the nail salon. Nothing against iPhones, Frapps, or nail salons, but perspective and substance is not necessarily mutually exclusive. It's always a choice.

I'm also glad I don't suffer from baboon ass. Please don't use the word "dogs" in any sentence with them...it's an insult to the dogs.

Hahaha, noted!

Bieber saved the day after we had just moved here.

My son woke up from a nap with an inflammation in his throat (I ran out of vocabulary, sorry), a virus, but if the kiddo panics it is scary as hell. The best known cure for this uncomfortable but not dangerous disease is cold air.

Well, Seattle was one bloody sunshine state that day again, it was over 60F. I had to find our medical insurance information which was still in the moving boxes, while trying to keep the less than two year old from panicking.

I put my eldest to read to him, and sadly I had been reading a Finnish news paper online, and she asked me what a bong is because some funny looking boy had gotten himself in trouble because of one.

Well, I build the tiny kid a bong of a sort. An empty coke bottle, filled with ice, a hole in the other end. He breath through it for 5 minutes, and all symptoms went away.

Justin Bieber saved the day.

My fiancee and I sat at a communal dining table once...at a B&B on the Mendocino coast. It was a private dinner with 3 other couples from SFO. Topics never to be discussed in polite conversation are gun control, politics, and abortion, but somehow we managed to hit all 3 in what would be considered a very stimulating and equally respectful discussion, especially considering our diverse backgrounds (law, education, healthcare, and ??).

BATNA is neither limited to negotiation, nor should it be used as a tool for influence. The common ground should always be established, and during that evening, 2 more polar opposite perspectives on the philosophical and political scale (ie. hopefulness chart) were given and received without knives or poo being flung at each other.

See...if you find a nice pond with clean water and lillies and stuff, you'll find the nice fish.

Bitch please, this never happened.

I think it's funny how we adults still can't have conversations without them turning into fights. We truly should stop respecting stupid rules that ban these topics and use the effort to realize nothing will ever change if we can't even talk about things.

Batna? No clue what that was.
