Question context:
--
I wouldn't mind if the services we paid for were decent, good transport, health care, schools etc, but in my neck of the woods (i.e. North London) they're at best mediocre.
-
I frequently correspond with my local MP, I vote at all elections, I often go to rallys and demos when I feel things are injust, but whilst doing that I think 2/3 of this country just doesn't give a s**t and just accepts whatever's put its plate.
-
Why can't we take it upon ourselves, at least once in a while, to stick it to policy makers, institutions and corporations and say no we're not going to accept 3 quid for a zone one ticket or no I'm not going to wait 6 months for my operation...you nkow take a piece of the old French spirit and have some bloody back bone!

Number of fatalities in Air Accidents (the entire world - pop est 6.6 billion people)
year 2001 - 1752 (including the 11/09/01 passengers)

Number of fatalities in Accidental falls in the UK alone (pop est 60 million)
year 2000 - 4281

Think about it, you are far more likely to die by accidentally falling over than by being the victim of terrorism.

Are you STILL scared?

Can we call off this stupid, futile and counter productive, terrorism fuelling war on terror now?

i am a girl studying abroad alone in one of the universities when i met a guy from my country who seems to like my talking. he is so willing to give up his breaks so that he can talk with me. my problem is that i think that i mistake his behavior. why would he come and talk with me when he is surrounded by many beautiful girls. besides i think he misses our home country so he talks with me since we are from the same country and that is it. i feel i am attracted to him. he is 12 year older than me but we get along very well. i would like to hear your comments and advices please.

In this country we take in so many immigrants that we have run out of space,
Before all the idiots start screaming I am a racist look at the sevices in this country , Health is at a stand still, Cant get a dentist for love or money, Education is going back wards, Law and order......where.
Any public service is saved for helping out all the immigrants .
Why not give them a laon when they arrive and after 12 months they pay it back , If not then we send them home.

Either that or should we all pack up and leave. Its bad enough that when they come over we house them and set them up with enough cash to live comfy on and then they turn around and ***** how they are not welcome, Well newsflash after the incidents in the news lately your not.

Right rant over , Dont care about idiots that will tell me I am a racist , Unless you have a sensible answer then keep quiet

I've never seen a smoker smoke whilst eating, but they happily light up when they've finished and force you to breathe and taste their smoke while you are.
And before you say go to another place to eat, its not always possible and in any case your days are numbered so ha ha ha.

Firstly, I don't think they're all that. Why are they such an "inspiration" to young girls -- because they're stick thin and tiny? Have you people seen the number of "ana (anorexia) diaries on Xanga? And I've noticed that most of their inspiration comes from the Olsen twins. "Mary-kate Thinspiration" -- what the heck?

We've heard of a home where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play. But seldom is heard of an encouraging word from hospitable dinosaurs suggesting where to stay. Tell us what highway is overrun by these reptiles.

I mean more specifically on the Internet. I've been trying to strike friendship with people around the world of both sexes, and of all ages but it seems my being 50 something turns most everybody off. What's wrong with being old?
