Why don't people cook their own family thanksgiving anymore? Why do they always rely on grandma or someone else either friend or relitive? Isn't anything humbly made anymore?

People in London don't seem to understand that the dialling code for London is 020 and NOT 0207 or 0208. It must be about ten years now that the dialling codes were changed from 0171 and 0181 to 020. And yet people persist in quoting their number as "oh-two-oh-eight [pause]", rather than "oh-two-oh [pause]".

This applies too to written representations of the numbers: on headed notepaper, advertisements, shop fronts etc. You often see fascia boards of shops, for which the shopkeeper probably paid hundreds of pounds, with the number incorrectly displayed. Let's say the number is 020 8841 9500, the shop sign will have 0208-841 9500 (or, even worse, 0208-841-9500).

Basically, I have to write a paper on WHY I think it's more socially accpetable for a man to engage in casual sex than a woman, even though it's the same act for either gender and the risk of STDs and everything else is as high for either. Frankly, I don't know WHY it's supposed to be okay for a man and not a woman.... I've actually wondered that for a while...
I need some direction for the paper here. What do you all think?
Why is it more socially accepted for a man to sleep around but socially frowned upon when it's a woman? Where's the difference coming from here?

My coworker is fat and lazy. I do about twice the work as him and sometimes I have to finish his work for him. He walks around and socializes most of the day while I get run ragged. Most of the work gets delegated to me in the first place because they know he will either f*ck it up or not finish it as quickly... or at all. I don't make much more money than this person. Should I complain? My main reason for not complaining is that his wife is pregnant with their first child and I feel bad. She recently quit her job too so he is the only bread-winner. I think that he is probably on the verge of being fired already and me complaining might push it over the edge.

What would you do in this situation?

Please read his Wiki insert...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomburg

here is a snip!!!

"Bloomberg has also shown involvement in education reform as mayor, replacing the school board set up by the state with direct mayoral control over public education. He raised the salaries of teachers by 15% while the test scores of students in the city and the graduation rate rose as well. Bloomberg is opposed to the promotion of students to the next grade level for strictly social reasons citing that students should only be promoted when they are adequately prepared for the next grade level. He favors after-school programs to help students that are behind. As mayor, Bloomberg strengthened the cell-phone ban in schools."

What an Awesome guy!! You have to read the page to get a good picture but man!!
