North American service industry workers are really in need of a union. This is where a union can benefit people. Yes the "minimum wage" if is below the poverty line then it should be raised.

Apsara I did have a taxi back into me when I was on my bicycle. And they fought tooth and nail to try not to pay me too much. However I milked them with the Rehabili just because they were such rotten negotiators with me. No respect for these companies. And why do they need a "Jiko GakkariIn"? Because accidents are common due to their carelessness.

All countries I have been to don't have tipping. The US and Canada are the exceptions. True 3rd world countries in that respect. The onus shouldn't be on the customer to pay more to the server to do their job. I hate when they come round when you have food in your mouth to ask you if everything is ok, especially when you want to tell them the food isn't that great. And then they expect a tip for this. Substandard pay should be fought against by the people in this industry and supported by the government. I don't mind paying a bit more for the items if I know the people make good money. But they also must not let their serving standards drop. A drop in customer service should also be grounds for dismissal by the employer. I like the service in Japan much more than in North America. And they don't get tips at all.

I think Jackson probably took some other meds and didn't tell the doc so when the doc gave him more he was giving him a fatal dose because he can't tell what the patient did on his own.

Smith you obviously did not get the sarcasm in SuperLib's post. Here's a hint: Take the word Australian out and substitute it for American and there you have it!! Like all those that ask the same when some idiot in the States does something dumb. Now do you get it? It's humor. Well , humour for you just in case you need the spelling difference. Not everything is a Republican/Iraq War conspiracy sonny. And No I wasn't "defending" anything. I was merely agreeing with his post. The immature response came from you.

Superlib is merely mocking all those that have studied American modern culture. Now that the shoe is on the other foot it's funny to see the response. You are correct Betting, why do they hold such stereotypes?

Neil, just as you don't like people criticizing your justice system and punishments Americans don't care what you think of the death penalty so that remains an American matter so your opinion on that is just as moot as you claim American opinion on this release is. And that goes for Cleo too. After she did what she said Americans can't do. And finally I didn't read any "right wing rubbish" as you put it? When did this become political? It's just many people's opinion of a premature release. You on the other hand seem to revel in the fact that Americans are so upset about this. Your hypocrisy and British attitude is showing mate. I urge you to seek out British victims of horrible crimes and find out their opinions of a light sentence on the ones responsible for the crimes against them. Then maybe you will be smart enough to understand why the American posters on here are posting the things they do unless your hatred of Americans is much too strong to cloud your judgement. You'll just have to take in a footy game at the local stadium to blow off some steam and bloody someone's nose and maybe trample a few to death to get out all the frustration.

Yeah Chris maybe flowers would work. Or maybe just Obama's head on a plate if you wish since he's just continuing those evil policies of America's worst ever president. Obama must be lining up to take that spot then in left wing liberal love in logic. How come the extreme criticism of him is deafening on these boards now?

I usually doubt the reliability of stories that use the words " spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized" because that means there are a lot of guys that are guilty of Treason.

[Sounds terrible but surely a ban just makes many (including posters here!) want to watch it even more!] -- Not me. I don't even like mild horror movies. This is just sick and anyone that was involved in the production of such a disgusting film should be caned 100 lashes. We don't need this crap destroying our humanity. Let's stick to porn. At least they are involved in natural acts in most of the movies.
