Etiquette - December 2006

I was out with a friend and she gave me a $100 bill to hold for her, because she said she was too drunk and would spend it on more drinks.

I tried to return the money (exact saem $100 bill) on Thanksgiving, but she said she didn't have any pockets and she'd get it from me at the end of the night. She forgot, and so did I.

About 2 weeks later, the $100 bill was stolen from my purse - I'm pretty sure by a guy who was in my apartment with my roommate. Either way, the money is gone. Do I still owe her $100?

I've never given birth before (for obvious reasons), but I've heard that when you're giving birth, you can push hard enough to fart. Is it considered rule if you accidently squeak out a fart? I mean, after all, this guy/gal has his/her face all in your business and they're telling you to push. Not to mention, for the past eight or nine months, he/she has been putting his/her hands in places that only your husband is permitted to mess with. I think that after nine months of humiliation, one would be justified in "letting one fly" in the face of this lucky person!!!

Do you think your doctor think it's rule to be farted at?

My pat response is, "It's ok"; but most times it isn't. What do you say when the apology seems sincere, but you still don't condone/or are hurt by what someone did?

So when you fart it sounds like someone else did it.

In this video game, society has perfected genetic engineering and computer technology. They take every human being and perfect them genetically. They are super strong, fast, intelligent, eternal, and can survive in almost any environment in the universe. They then implant a computer chip into every persons brain that connects them to a huge super computer that contains all human knowledge. This super computer acts as the government and can read the mind of every last human being and makes the fairest governmental choices based on every persons thoughts. It is never ending peace. They assume in this game that the super computer is not being corrupted by human greed. Ultimate freedom, or ultimate slavery???

My gf and I and another couple of our friends went to France, While in paris we had planned on going to Monets house which is about a 45 min train ride outside of Paris and we'd been talking bout this for awhile now. These friends of ours Deanna (wears the pants and makes the decisions) and Chris decide 5mins before we were going to leave that she didnt want to go and went up to my gf and I and said do you mind if i dont come. So she doenst come and doesnt even say I'm sorry or give any reason or anything. Just so she and her bf could go roaming around and do nothing all day. This was the last day of the trip and we had 11 days of this trip already and we were all planning on going to Monet's house. Whats your take on the way she went about this, was it rude?

My mum didn't go to the end of term night out at a local pub with her colleagues - she didn't pay a deposit - but the pub charged her and another lady £7.50p each for not turning up- another lady paid over them but surely if she had not paid a deposit then there was no "contract"- if she had paid a deposit and not turned up then I understand she would lose the deposit but to be charged when no binding agreement was made surely this is out of order?

I don't feel like leaving a good tip for bad service, but is it worse to leave a really small tip, or is it better to leave nothing?

When Saddam Hussein was captured, everyone cheered. Approporiate. When the big statue came down everyone celebrated. Appropriate.

People stood right there at the death gallows and yelled and screamed there jubilance as Saddam swung in the breeze. Is that appropriate? Maybe I just don't understand because I didn't go through all that those people did.

Does the sanctity and respect for the dead ever take over? I realize that Saddam never had much respect for the dead. But are we no better?

Seems to me that a quiet and very sobering finality would have been the mood. Do you have any thoughts on this????

Why wont people Live and Let live? Everyone has different types of humour - why dont we accept this? Yet these are the people that complain why the world is in the state it is in...

I always smile - no matter who you are. I laugh at jokes even if they are not funny because I dont like to offend. I like being me and being happy!

Those that live life too seriously are the ones with issues...

Some people tend to confuse respect with common courtesy. The two are not necessarily the same.

Common courtesy is something you would give to just about anyone. Even total strangers should be granted common courtesy and politeness.

Respect is something that should be earned with regards to positive deeds, accomplishments, etc.. Furthermore, someone who fits into that category should not treat others with disdain or rudeness in spite of said deeds and accomplishments.

So what do you think?

For everyone who says its "beautiful" please explain to me what makes it "so beautiful" I fully understand the child needs to eat, so if you know you are going to be out, cant you pump and feed the baby from a bottle? Dont wanna do that? Can you not cover up or excuse yourself and go to a mothers room (thats why they are there!
