I am living here in America. If not for something important to tackle here, I wouldn't behere for long . I want to go home to my own country. Not only I feel alienated and discriminated here, but I encountered the rudest people on earth which are the Americans. And I keep wondering their media is so infused with character building like courtesy and respect and still the American populace don't get it. Are they stupid not to understand it? Or just too stubborn? Or just naturally and inherently rude?
If ever they give someone a courtesy or respect, they do it with so much hypocrisy and fakeness. I encountered a lot of miserable experiences here in the US which involved Americans being so nasty, arrogant, proud, rude but hypocritical and fake. At the firs encounter, you would tthink they are nice and then when something upsets or bothers them or you can't give in to their demands, they try so hard to be polite but it comes out fake and in the end, it comes out really rude. Why?

As one of the takeout people in our restaurant I am dependent on tips for additional income just as a server would be, yet guests in general, do not tip the takeout person, why? Think about it, a server greets you at the table, takes your order, places the order, picks it up from the service line (galley) and brings it to you. They refill your drinks, check on you and then after completion of your experience, you tip the server. Now, the takeout person greets you, on the phone and in person, they take your order, place the order and many times, prepare your order, they package it and bring it to you, accept your payment, offer you refills if indicated, and thank you. What did the server do that is so much different then the takeout person did? Shorter exposure and time maybe, but not much other difference, so why did you not tip them? Ok, why not at least 10%?

I drive a bright yellow coupe. (Chevy Cobalt). As I sat at the traffic light this evening, I overheard the guy in the SUV next to me making fun of me for driving a yellow car. His girlfriend in the passenger seat laughed at his remarks. This is not the first
time I encountered this type of situation.
I wonder if on some level these guys
feel threatened by me. Maybe that's why they
feel the need to put me down in front of their girlfriends. I'm secure enough to drive a yellow coupe at age 46, yet I am
admittedly bothered by treatment nonetheless.
(I'm also guy for the record). I could easily respond back to them and escalate the
situation. But I think if I could
understand the reasoning behind their behavior it would help me deal with it better.
Thanks for your help.

Please tell me how to get pharmaceutical reps to use our catering business for their lunches? How do we get our name out there? Drs. offices that we call, don't give us any information as to who their drug reps are. Hope you can help! Thank you.

I had a betta and 3 danios in my tank. One danio was nipped to death by another, and my last friendly danio is being pushed around by the larger one. Its fins and tail are really battered, and I'm not sure if it'll live. On the other hand, I don't want to leave the aggressive danio in with my betta if it's going to kill my betta too. I need to get rid of one; which one?

Why is it, only under cold weather conditions to you have to rub a fluorescent bulb, perhaps with a moist cloth for it to become lit; whereas in warm conditions they light as soon as you turn on the switch? I think it has something to do with the flow of charges.

A Connecticut church as booked The Hartford Funny Bone Comedy Cafe & Restaurant in The Shoppes at Buckland Hills mall for the months of August & September to hold their services in.

The mall has squashed the plan because it violates the clubs lease but the church is apealing.

Do you find this a bit odd?

People sometimes positively argue that there are lots of reasons Great Britain should leave the EU and become a new State in the USA.

The EU is doing pretty well at the moment... should we invite a few of the states of the USA to leave and join the EU instead? I think the blue flag with a circle of gold stars flying over shops, house, and businesses in somewhere like Texas would be positively welcomed.

I sort of remember seeing a trailor for an episode where County General is flooded. I saw the trailor several years ago. I'd like to know the name of the episode or at least what season the episode was in.

I know it is not the episodes entitled "The Storm"!!!

Thanks in advance!

Think about it... A-Theist. That means without God! How can you be religious without God? You can't call atheism a religion because you don't believe in religion, fools!

You don't even believe in God, or an afterlife, or anything supernatural like that! It's silly! How can it be a proper religion if you don't have any of that?!

You atheists might as well NOT HAVE any religion.

The only book you have is The God Delusion, and that isn't a proper religious book, because the bible is thousands of years old, and that makes it a proper religious book. Richard Dawkins wasn't inspired by God to write it, heck, he doesn't even believe in God, so how could it be religious ???

Why don't you guys get a real religion?
Become Christians, which is a real religion.

One final word to all our atheist friends, the christian god is a loving god, join our religion, as your religion has no god, which is silly.

IT DOESN'T EVEN RESEMBLE A RELIGION!
It's like u people are ANTI RELIGION
