FryingMonkey - the problem with those kids is that they don't really know what they are swearing in, and the first "boot kicked in the face" from the sergeant actually opens their eyes. Not everyone is strong enough to be a…

Apsara - the drivers should leave their jobs if they are not competent enough or good enough to do it. If they make a mistake they should take their punishments and learn from, not break more rules and KILL people simply because they are afraid of being punished.

Anyone interested enough should have a look by Google Maps.

You can clearly see how they build the taxiways and parts of a future runway hoping that the idiotic farmer living there will die someday in the future. Then they'll happily take it over and have a new taxiway and…

Man those American cowboys are really thick headed aren't they? Why do they keep making mistakes like this, when it took their politicians years of negotiations and millions of $$ in bribes ;) to convince Japan to allow US beef again?...

I purposely blast my car's horn at every idiot crossing over a red light because if I kill them it's my fault as a driver and it's me who goes to jail for 5-7 years...
