if we never had wars again?
If there were no natural disasters?
As cruel as it sounds, maybe this is all necessary!
Just wondering.......your views?

How far, in your opinion, can you go before generalising the population of a country/ creed becomes second nature.

For instance, whilst on holiday I met a large contingent of other tourists from another country. They were, without exception, acting like as*holes, but I told myself, 'these guys are just bad ambassadors for their country- it's bound to be a nice place in reality,'. Them some months later, I visited their country (well, only one city) and, as before everyone I met had the same intolerant, anti-social traits. So I said, 'no, they aren't all like this- I'm just biased because of my previous encounter,'.

Then I get back home, and this country is on the news, and everyone around me is saying, 'what as*holes!'

So my question is, even though it might not be ethical, can you reach a stage where it is understandable to categorise an entire country, even though there might still be 1 or 2 good souls there?

I've always wondered that. Would you celebrate on the 28th or on March 1st?

Many people who's families come from different races and countries refer to themselves and others like them as "mutts". As you may know, mutts are generally mixed-breed dogs. Would you be offended if someone called you this? Do you call yourself this?

I consider myself a "mutt"...

My mother, brothers, teachers, schoolmates and others think I am schizophreric. Because I am always aloof and have less interest. I do not speak much.

...put flyers underneath people's car screen wipers? A friend of mine has printed off five hundred flyers specifically for Chelsea Tractor drivers, offering a service to convert their 4x4s in to scrap metal free of charge.

I thought it was hilarious but am going to watch from a safe distance- a lot of these tractor drivers have vicious lap-dogs, you know!

If you could travel, from country to country, anyplace you want, via transporter, what would life be like?

Good idea?

Bad idea?

Your opinions.

Like a gaseous gradiometer?

'Oh, that's a veggie/ red meat mix!'

'Good Lord...that's at least a grade five on the Egg scale,'

'Looks like we have a whole new category here people!'

And so forth. Yes, I'm bored.

Are 4x4 drivers all mighty tosspots? I'm not talking about people who need a 4x4, such as farmers, foresters etc etc (besides, dirt-streaked Land Rovers are the boll*cks), but the middle-class drones who cruise around in their Porsche Cayennes, BMW X5s etc etc. Why on earth would you need one if you're just running the kids to school and calling in on the Polo club?

They guzzle fuel, kill the environment, are almost entirely driven by people who can barely navigate, take up two spaces at the supermarket, and, if you are a male driver, shout 'Look at me- I have a tiny penis so I bought this monstrosity!'. If you are a woman it says, 'Look! I can drive and put on my lip gloss while chatting on the mobile- and still have room to read Tattler!'

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!

And...breathe...

...to want to get with Bruce Willis' daughter just so I can tell everyone that my father-in-law is the coolest white guy in the world? She is attractive but I think he might be a bit hard to impress...I'd have to turn the British charm up to Overkill...and maybe wear a grubby white vest...

I think it's do-able, don't you?

You risk putting yourself in a disagreeable position based on your views and always ends up in an argument. Yet, people persist. Why? Are they just stupid?
