presto -

Could be. That's what I meant when I said I don't think we should drag them into the 21st century. I'm opinionated enough to avoid sitting on the fence for most issues, but on this topic I'm a determined straddler.

Not only IT - there seems to have been an influx in recent years of Indian people opening restaurants here. On the whole very good authentic (I think) food, very good service and they don't look at you funny if you ask for vegetarian. Way to go.

I never know what to think when I read of 'lost tribes' in the jungle. Should we invade their space, chop down their trees and drag them into the 21st century? Well, no...

I had the freedom to develop more or less as I wanted to,..... without too many hang-ups

Don't worry Mr Liddel, we see your hang-ups quite clearly. So you came through your childhood with a massive superiority complex. Great.

Girls fare better; they tend to like intense one-to-one relationships. But…

From the title I thought this would be a rubbish piece insulting the Japanese male from the superior perspective of the Western male.

I was wrong.

It's a rubbish piece insulting the Japanese mother and by extension all SAHMs, from the superior perspective of the Western male. Well done Liddell…

SuperLib -

I'm not arguing for or against global warming. I don't know enough. I would like to know more, but it seems everyone but me has the info and no one is willing to show theirs.

Why is there 'expected to be a cooling trend for the next decade…

Temperature tracking satellites already show earth is going into a cooling period and has been for some time.

I admit I'm not very good at reading graphs, but to my inexpert eye the graph at weedkila's link seems to show a general upward trend since 1988 with a sudden steep…
