Re: Are we really in the 21st Century?

Re: Are we really in the 21st Century?

Re: Are we really in the 21st Century?

Yikes. That is hard to read.

Re: Does your grocery store spray water on the veggies?

I've always thought the reason they drench the veggies is so they stay nice and waterlogged...and heavy. If they charge by the ounce, it weighs more and more $$$ for the grocer!

Re: Girly sports?

I read recently that US has about the same % of population using mobile phones as Jamaica, a much poorer country.

Could it be that it's because cell phone use just hasn't "caught on" in the US in...

Re: American Public "Guarding" Border- What Do You Think?

Aiaiai---if that's really how you perceive the situation, than you probably should skip on over to Europe. (You've already got the British spelling down pat.) But is the grass always greener on the...

Re: Vets gone mad?

Re: Know your USA GEOGRAPHY ????

Yank here, never lived in Europe, got an 86% and 66 miles average error. Those blankety-blank tiny countries (Monaco, Malta, Vatican) really got me.
