I have lived in the U.S for some 20 years and have come in contact with Americans from the super rich to down right poor.
Most super rich Americans know that there is no such place as the best and the very poor also know that people from other countries are far better off than they are. But majority of the so called middle class who have hardly ever set foot in a foreign country believe that the U.S is the best. To be fair don't they have to have visited and actually lived in other industrialised nations before making comparism.

I made a comment because we have 4 office that it's crazy that we all have different holidays off.... like today we get done early at 2:00, NY 3:00, Canada 12:00 and NC 12:00- makes no sense!!! I also mention that I was insulted that they only offered the African American girl off Martin Luther King Day!! Because you know I don’t have any civil rights! Anyways the people I was talking to are white and said well, we don’t have any “of those” here, who cares about that holiday…. We should have Presidents’ Day off because George Washington did more for us then Martin Luther King.
What the hell is wrong with Americans?

Each year my little girl scout comes close to being the top cookie seller in her troop but falls just short of the top prize. This mainly happens as the rich parents in the troop buy hundred boxes for themselves so their daughters have high sales. This is very unfair to my daughter as I'm not going to buy hundreds of boxes.

However, this year I pulled it off. I put in a fake order for over 1,500 boxes under the name of a neighbor that I knew would decease before the arrival of the cookies. So when the prizes where handed out all I had to say was my top buyer had deceased. Through a loophole in the girl scout cookie selling manual my daughter was declared top seller. I was so proud to see my daughter take that top prize.

My wife is very angry about this as she did not know what was going out till it was over. Demands our daughter returns the top prize. There is NO WAY I'm returning this prize after all that hard work. How can I tell my wife nicely to sit back and be quiet?

they grow up in places where multiple languages are spoken and it is easily picked up from the people around them. Growing up in a place like Africa, where there are so many languages, I know people that speak 2 or 3 languages, and I won't consider them smart. It depends on the languages spoken in your household.

I see it almost everyday. It started in church during a mass, Christ reached out to me from the Cross on the wall behind the priest. I went and took communion then, not before, I wasn't going to.

Anyway, I keep having a vision of an arm reaching down to me out of the heavens. What do you think it means???

Please no obvious answers. (i.e. God is trying to speak to you.)

I'm looking for insight.

I probably should mention I was in the church for a funeral, and I thought I saw my friend who had died standing in front of the coffin.

Once in an interview, the
famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the
streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?

In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan ..
an indian citizen will not do this.... and i dont understand why..?

I'm doing a little of my own research because this was an issue for my ageing mother. I would like to hear a few more stories and opinions about whether an ageing person is better off staying in their own home for as long as possible (using all the community resources such as nurses, meals etc.)
My concern is for someone on their own who e.g. cannot get out in a car, has stairs and cannot cook well for themselves.
I have been taught as a trained nurse that people should be encouraged to stay in their own homes with care from local services. I guess boils down to the actual person's own wishes but most people DO want avoid moving into a retirement home, especially a nursing home!
My opinion is that if their own home is safe and they can function well they should stay there. However, I just wonder how I'd feel going to ANY new environment, with no familiar faces and without my own items, furniture, pet/s and garden around me. How awful for an old person!

What is the one thing ALL poor nations have in common? Two things: Poverty and lack of jobs. It is also true that the smaller the country, the higher percentage of poverty and lack of jobs.
The United Nations and other countries donate BILLIONS of dollars every year to aid in the problem, but it continues to get worse. Why? Because throwing money at the problem does not solve anything. It does not teach family planning, it does not educate, it does not create jobs. (Okay, it may help a little, but not nearly enough the make any difference)
It does not seem to me to be rocket science that continually having 4,5,6 or even 10 children per woman only compounds the problem in these countries.
While I do not mind some of my tax dollars going to help on occation, we are now encouraging dependancy of the poor nations on us and the UN. The problem will only get worse.

How should we go about correcting this problem? Throwing money at it will not work indefinately.

Not that it means its any better for you but its compleatly natural.

Cocaine is an alkaloid found in the leaves of the coca plant... end of story.

They use Chemicals to *EXTRACT* the cocaine out of the coca leaf because theres only about 1 miligram of cocaine per 1 gram of leafe, its far to hard to snort 60 grams of leafe to get a single dose.

The end product is 100% cocaine (if extracted properly) from 1% cocaine when it was still in the leafe. All they do is remove the plant matter and other alkoliods from the leafe.

The chemicals they use to extract the cocaine are man made however none of them are in the final product and do anything but basicly "drag" the cocaine out of the leafe and is then filterd out.

So again why are people refuse to belive this?
