If CIA stopped posing as Aid workers, maybe Aid workers could be left to do what they are supposed to do.
Shame on CIA for posing as Aid workers, Journalists etc. You kill many innocent people by doing so.

Subtitles.
Unless I'm watching "Iron Chef"
Posted in: Would you rather see a movie that is not in your native language, with subtitles or dubbed into your own language?

I dont think this is a matter of chivalry or manners.
It is more a case of common sense.
Posted in: Do you think a man holding a door open for a woman, holding her chair for her when she sits down, or giving up his seat for her are outmoded gestures of politeness or do they still have their place in today's society?

I gave my seat up for an old bloke the other day, when the old bloke went to get off, some young Japanese guy tried to get the seat and the old man blasted the young guy! He also made sure I got the seat back before he got off.

1/3 of my cash goes to the wife. Bills, mutual savings, etc.
1/3 into my personal savings.
1/3 I do what ever I like with.

I think its up to every country to decide for itself.
If I go to Iran and get asked to wear traditional clothing, I will happily oblige.
People have the choice of what country they would like to visit or live, so they can decide, and have to accept the rules of that country.
I feel sorry though for the people already living in France who wear religious clothing, the rules were changed while they are living there, now they have to either give up their faith, or their home. Tough choice.
Posted in: In some countries, there are moves to ban or restrict the wearing of religious clothing and symbols such as burqas, veils, head scarves, skullcaps, turbans and crucifixes in public places like schools, recreational facilities and so on. What’s your stance?

Not a big fan of Aussie beef, especially Aussie Lamb (it IS stinky).
The animals are artificially fed and it affects the taste and quality.
Even the so called 'grass fed' beef, does not have the taste it should.

Not into it.
While the 3D looks new and interesting, it makes the over all look and feel of the film feel fake.
I could not get 'into' any of the movies I have seen in 3D so far. Im hoping the technology gets much better.

I think security over reacted on this one.
He was likely pressured on stage by the audience or he was unjustly pushed out of the contest, and wanted to make a point.
Either way, a pose or two on stage should have been fine, I even think the organizers could of at least let him or shown a bit of respect to him since he was the one who made that event world famous in the first place.

Hmmmm, he is heavily in debt and decided to rob a convenience store?
I dont think the $200-$300 he would have got would have gone very far.
Sounds like a cry for help to me, or a Im too chicken to talk to my wife. Either way this is so much better than the other options.
