With the survey I just showed, that is a percentage of disposible income, in other words income means stuff all.

Surely you had a similar amount of immigrants in the 1800s as to now, no? It's not as though the society has changed dramatically.

America. A nation of fat dwarfs :rolleyes:

If you read the whole article, they dismiss the effect of immigration. It's not as if Europe has been starved of immigration in recent years, either.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1185457,00.html Admittedly not the greatest source, but it's from the Observer so it's not too bad. As well, according to Canadian government surveys, Europeans tend to spend more of their income on food since they often go for better food, in...

Unfortunately the French apparently don't have a word for entrepreneur, so the French obviously relinquish their title to the glorious Bush administration.

Actually, it would be just as dodgy from the ISPs perspective if you continuously churn out encrypted messages. Having said that, if they decide to check an encrypted message, then realise it's just the sender being rather fussy about not encrypting, I'm sure the ISP would be more likely to...

It's getting colder and windier... :( Can we put central heating in the Antarctic so we don't get the cold winds from there???

I'd have thought the names were grandfathered, in a way. We call it moon, and suddenly someone announces "Hey! I found another moon!" "Well, we can't call it moon II because that's stupid, and we can't call it Mars Moon because there's another. Let's just give it a name." Though admittedly I...

I am sorry but I cannot believe a handful of deaths per week will surpass the birth rate of Muslims brought up to be anti-Western. That was another of the religious problems with it, yes.

Then again, would the fact that someone decided to encrypt a message be enough of an alarm bell for an organisation to check the mail, or at least call the authorities if it looks "dodgy". Just a thought.

Powell could well have been a good president. After shilling in for the Bush administration, he won't see a second term. Then again, we are not sure that he wasn't told to lie by Bush & Co. He seems to be cannon fodder for all the admissions by the Bush adminstration, which is a shame because it...

How unfortunate. Having said that however, looks slightly different from the continous "U.s.a r0x!" "uSa sUxxx0rz!" slugfest which slowly consumes any semblance of intelligence from a thread. Seriously, it's the epitamy of a political miscegnation.

No, these capitalism vs. communism arguments have pretty much split one forum into an abyss reminiscent of Flanders Field. Your either a commie or a capitalist, and if your inbetween you get the short end of the proverbial flamethrower, to put it bluntly.

The only problem with that however is that it incites a natural response from those attacked. Israel is a perfect example. Suicide bombers fall into desperation and attack innocent civilians. Israeli bulldozers destroy the bomber's house. Palestinians see it as a act against them, and more blow...

The only problem I have with these sites is they tend to be a tad on the vague side. Nevertheless... First Name: You have a love of travel and adventure, and you enjoy sports. You also have a very strong sense of fair play and want justice. You have much enthusiasm with a driving attitude...

Quite frankly it would not surprise me in the least if it never came to fruition or was an April Fool's joke (Google is notorious for them after all) However, why are people acting as though their ISP e-mail will barf on them everytime they access it? There's no reason IMO that makes your ISP...

Alas, my searches for a humourous-cum-serious forum lead me here, being somewhat bored of the same old "capitalist vs. communism", "macintosh vs. linux vs. windows" and, naturally "US vs. the rest of the world" dribble. One cannot fathom how another site can be as similar. Anyway, after...
