Absolutely right. How presumptuous they are. You don't get a tip for treating customers poorly. It's not the manager's job to run from table to table making sure everything is perfect -- he/she has a restaurant to run. The tip system automatically discourages bad customer service -- that's...

Me either. What a jerk that person was.

Agreed. What a whiney web page. NEVER leave less than 20% tip. I don’t care what your "reason” may be, less than 20% is never acceptable. If you have a problem, tell the manager, it is NEVER okay to tip poorly. Huh? That's crap. If a server ignores me, or brings the wrong food, or never...

...been married 13 years... very little french kissing... no big deal... wife doesn't like it / thinks its gross / whatever. Everybody has preferences. The important thing is to find things you both like, and sometimes doing something that your wife/husband/bf/gf likes but maybe you don't...

..depends on your definition of "old tech"... MoPix – Motion Picture Access The technology was invented around 1994, but wasn't widely available until the late 1990s, early 2000s.

Yet, we can't just sweep WWI under the rug. WWII was directly related to the stupid way WWI started and then ended. If our great grandparents had had the sense to sit down and talk in 1914 and negotiate rather than puff themselves up full of nationalistic, imperialistic, militaristic nonsense...

I disagree. I'm of the opinion that it's almost never "necessary". Think about it this way. So let's say you live out alone by yourself somewhere. You obviously don't have a dispute with yourself, so there's no possibility of war with anyone. Then, a neighbor moves in across the street...

I agree with you, but I take a slightly different view. I agree that every man, woman, and child in the USA has the right to be treated equally under the law. I also think that what two adults do in the privacy of their bedroom is their own business. The real question, is why on earth does...

As a hearing person, I think a deaf film could succeed, but it does have to be such a good story that it will overcome the subtitle/caption bias that hearing people tend to have. It's really the same problem foreign films have. There are some excellent foreign films out there that nobody in...

Has anyone been to a theatre with one of these MoPix systems? MoPix – Motion Picture Access I'm thinking about trying to organize an outreach program through my church to set up a fund to help pay to get one of these installed at our local theatre. I'm interested in finding out how well...

It happens every year. Some people are absentminded I guess. It only takes 15 or 20 minutes in that kind of heat for a child to suffocate.

2-Year-Old Dies After Being Left In Car - News Story - KCCI Des Moines So sad... This seems to happen every year. It's usually not intentional either -- someone just forgets where the kid is. It's too bad there's no way to make cars smart enough that if they sense that someone is in the...

I think that there's a fairly well established deaf community in Guernsey, although that's quite a distance away from you. I've been told, but I don't know first hand, than in Europe and Britain, oralism has been much more widespread than in the USA. If that's the case, you may find that it's...

Ack! I'm just amazed at how stupid people can be! :pissed:

Oooooh. That would make me SO mad. :pissed: I'd call Starbuck's corporate offices and demand that the PERSON AT THE STORE call you back (through relay of course) and give you a personal apology (and maybe some free coffee or soda :fingersx:). I saw some folks in this thread say "I can...

War has no benefit that could not be accomplished in some other way. Carl Von Clausewitz' famous quote: "War is merely the continuation of politics" is absolutely right. That's why political institutions like the United Nations, as flawed as they may be, are very important. When they work...

Well, to some degree that's because American kids have more access to automobiles. It's an American right of passage to get your first car at age 16 or 18. It's not as important in most European countries (for a variety of reasons).

Hehe... hearing people with perfect hearing sometimes struggle to hear those stupid speaker things... Don't get frustrated if you find one that's hard to understand! :-)

Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. In some ways it's been beneficial, but the strong focus on standardized testing is being used as a reason to limit or reduce the arts.

It's sort of human nature. Misguided perhaps, but still human nature. People who are different from you are "scary" for most people, until you get to know them. Introverts in particular take a long time to open up. People often think introverts are rude, but in fact, it's often just that...
