What's wrong folks? Can't take the heat?

TheCasualReporter @TheCasualReporter (283) • France 23 Jan 09

Some of the arguments I've involved myself in I've dared to.. gasp.. propose another point of view. Even argue. I love debate. It's how we solve problems in a free society. Shame some people can't take a simple challenge to their...

I beleive that shuting down Gitmo is the(first) wrong thing to do when we are at war with terrorist all over the world. Where are you going to detain these 240 or so terrorist. Other countries don't want them and we certainly...

stanleyws Are you joking?? Guantanamo Bay is (heh, WAS) the antithesis of democracy and the epitome of hypocrisy. So - if president Obama doesn't "keep his promises", you'll fault him. If president Obama DOES keep his promises, among them to close gitmo, you'll...

Obama cannot succeed

TheCasualReporter @TheCasualReporter (283) • France 17 Jan 09

at fulfilling everyone's expectations. I get the impression that nearly every American who voted for Obama, and every non-American who would have if they could have, has enormous and perhaps unrealistic expectations for him. His...

grammasnook I don't think the Obama supporters are expecting any miracles from him. What they are expecting from him is to have the economy grow a little bit and towards the right direction for success. If one person can make 10 people believe things are going to be okay...

bantilesroger I don't expect much from President Obama in the first 4 years. I look at him more as a symbol. As far as I am concerned, the first 4 years will be a period of getting to know you (him, the American people and the people of the world), of testing the...

Goose downs aircraft - why not a guard over the engine?

TheCasualReporter @TheCasualReporter (283) • France 15 Jan 09

There must be a rational reason why airplanes are not fitted with some kind of a grill to protect engines from ingesting birds and crashing airplanes. If wind drag is a problem, couldn't they retract once altitude is reached?...

xboxboy i understand your point. a jet travelling at 500 mph would slice any birds like a egg dicer. it would make no difference. it is not like a cow grill on a train as this rarely comes across herds of cows, where apon a jet would still suck in a flock of...

What is the strangest (or most exotic) thing you have eaten?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43907) • Cambridge, England 18 Jan 09

I think the most bizarre thing I've ever tried was chocolate coated ants. They were really no big deal ... some chocolate with a bit of crunch in the middle! Tonight, however, I am cooking kudu steaks. The Kudu is a large...

Should New Parents attend Parenting Course?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 14 Jan 09
