Not that I'm saying waitresses, etc should not be tipped, but you do know that if the sum total of their hourly wage ($2.70, or somewhere around that) plus their tips does not add up to the Minimum wage, the employer must pay them the difference, so they are making at least minimum wage, right...

Oh Jeez; this drives me (hearing) and my fiancee (deaf) crazy. One time we showed up on-time to a local deaf get-together that was supposed to start at 7 pm. The people who were running the event didn't even show up until 8:00. Drives us both nuts.

Indeed, truth does win out. You might want to check your facts. From this article: From her very own mouth. Also, Cindy Sheehan has removed herself from the realm of serious debate by treading into the land of the insane and irrational. She is obviously ascribing more power to Bush than the...

Opinion is fine, but it need always be backed up by facts, else it is not a valid opinion. Those without valid opinions are not worth listening to. Thus, one must be careful when weighing in with an opinion. Thus is the problem of most of the modern media, and unfortunately, too many in the...

This statement is just idiotic. The US hasn't had control of the Iraqi oil in over a year. The WTO is the one in charge of its sale and export.

Sorry to hear about your cat; I had to put my dog down just two weeks ago today so I can empathize. I do love the cat's name though. Chinese for Lion, IIRC.

There are a few possibilities.... First, I'd pick the ability to switch my conciousness into another body, and simultaneously the other body's mind would reside in my body. A switching of the minds, if you will. Just think - you could be the ultimate undercover agent. You don't just...

After which she had nothing but glowing praise for the President and his obvious sympathy for her and her family.

Oh really? Perhaps this article from The Weekly Standard will be enough to show you that statement is false. I'm sure it won't be enough, even though the top editors at the Weekly Standard (Mort Kondraki in particular) are democrats. Here are some of the highlights: BTW - thanks for the...

Nope, she doesn't really sleep deeply at all. But she did say the flashers aren't all that bright.

Actually, my girlfriend said she usually doesn't notice the flashing fire alarms. Which makes her even more pissed that the school forces her to live in the room she does - the flashing alarms don't do her any good. Every time there's been a fire drill, one of her roommates has had to get her.

Is she finally gone - I mostly lurk here, but damn she was annoying!

Ah, that's annoying

Why is it that I cannot edit my post? After replying to Oceanbreeze I noticed a typo in my first post, yet the Edit function for that post is not present, yet it is present on my second posting to that thread. Can you only edit your most recent post? If that is the case - I find it rather odd...

Don't fear; the history minor is here to set you straight :)

A few things: Oceanbreeze, not to rag on you, but WWII, Truman, and the atomic bomb happened in 1945, not the 60's To those screaming against the use of the atomic bomb to end WWII, most Japanese realize that its use was neccessary, and did save many lives in the end. One of my former...

Are you kidding me? That's Christopher Walken! I actually have the album that quote is from....Steven Lynch. Damn, singing comedians can be quite funny.

I was quite pleased when I found out that the special features discs from the Extended Lord of the Rings DVD's were CC'd. Now if only the 44 hours of commentary had been captioned to......I know my gf would love to watch those.

Virginity is quite important. If I ever found out a girl I was dating was not a virgin, it would give me great pause, and I doubt I could respect her after that. My girlfriend and I are both virgins, and very proud of it!
