(note:the sarcasm is turned off right now) China managed the earthquakes better.

Yes, we have to follow their laws in their country. You can’t look at or talk to a woman in that country without the express permission of their father or brother.

On top of that, those Army guys were more than likely told to wait on that curb and leaving the curb would have been disobeying a direct order.

One made up word and a letter from sounding like House M.D

And ccliffe has a point: the vegitation doesn’t look like it’s from Afghanistan or Iraq, it looks like a colder, wetter climate. Also, there is an iron fence on the background (a gray haze, with intermittent vertical stripes of more gray. The building also looks more like your average American building than a middle-eastern building.

Besides, it’s on a parking lot. Since when does Afghanistan/Iraq have parking lots? Rectangular open areas meant for cars, perhaps even made of asphalt, but I think it’s pretty hard to find a parking lot in Afghanistan or Iraq in such a good condition as this one.

But still, the woman has a brown skin color, so it’s still possible she’s carrying half her weight in explosives. (/sarcasm)

i’m definitely a strong woman who likes to do things herself, but i’d never tell a man off for opening a door for me, or carry heavy things for me.

awesome insight girl!

When I see a person who needs those seats, I’m always torn as to whether to give up my seat [I'm disabled] or to just throw those fools under the bus [the only thing they're good for -- greasing the wheels]

Sorry, there’s no proper emoticon for this to express the irony and dripping sarcasm I am trying to get across.

I notice that when disasters happen in third-world countries, there’s oodles of help. When disasters happen in say, North America, one gets only band-aids.

Katrina is almost forgotten in the media. But even the boxing-day tsunami still pops up from time to time. Why?

It’s the same sort of mentality that will drive people to “adopt” some third-world kid from the TV, but cause them to ignore the kid whose family needs help down the street.

And if someone holds a door open for me, I smile and say “thank you”, as I appreciate the common courtesy returned from others, regardless of who is doing the door holding (though, granted, the smile might be a bit bigger if the holder is a good-looking fellow ..)

Since I have the nations attention-I’d like to add that sadly those troops were sent home, it’s now over 4 weeks since Ike, we still have over 100 people missing, mainly in the Galveston/Boliver-an area 80 MILE LONG debris field with NO help from our state OR federal government in body recovery OR debris removal. We have several towns down here 95+ percent destroyed with no more media coverage or help. WHY??????
