no personal issue just a conclusion based upon years of teaching in several of the kingdoms of hate.go there as a western woman,you'll see.i'm sure the bigley family are preaching tolerance right now.tell it to the families of people who've had their family members beheaded live on tv.ive lived in the gulf and am presently in north africa, in an islamic state.they dont like us its that simple....so why should i like them?they talk tolerance but are the most intolerant people ive ever met.sod this going down to their level rubbish....send in the clandestine assassination squads and tek 'em oot andy mcnab style.salman rushdie was right.dont even think that most muslims are moderates.even the liberals are hard core by western standards.by the way gulf muslim men think all western women are sluttttz....that's your start point.

dear Biffin

I fear that if the litumus test for humanity was finding you likeable, there would be an inordinately high failure rate.

Tush, Mr Jones! A tad self-righteous, methinks. Biff does have a point, there. Western women ARE hoors. Why? because the local men fancy and are intimidated by them. Nothing to do with the behaviour of the ladies in question. Their fantasies are their reality.
What p's me off here in China is the innate omniscience of the Chinese. My sis-in-law telling me that smoking is bad for me, despite her knowing that, as a nurse, I cared for terminal cancer patients. Everyone saying that black tea is unhealthy, but green tea will enable me to walk on water. Baijiu (Chinese vodka, only stronger) is good for your liver. I have to say, though, that, despite their BS, the rice-gobblers are a pretty friendly bunch (when they pull their fingers out of their noses).
WTF-it's good to get it off your chest.

Dear Stephen,
I fear your comments reveal that you would pass the test of being supercillious and pompously judgemental.

I agree with Biffinbridges comments....with the exception of the Andy McNabs hit squad being air dropped into Arabia.

Why put onto jeopardy perfectly decent human lives.!!!

Annoying things in Milwaukee:

1.) The anti-abortionists and their grotesque billboards in downtown Milwaukee every Saturday morning
2.) The amazing girth of people of here and the women who wear tight fitting low cut jeans with their love-handles hanging over them
3.) The sun rises and sets according to Bret Favre (quarter-back of Green Bay packers
4.) mmmmm... that's about it, Milwaukee is a pretty nice place

- customer service is non-existant
- that you're put on a waiting list for almost everything you can think of
- that if you're not put on a waiting list you have to queue up for hours
- the people think they are just being honest, but in fact are brutal and have no feeling for diplomacy
- the lack of tolerance towards others
- the supermarkets
- road rage
- the weather, to be more specific the rain

...things that annoy...

People using acronyms, initialisms to be exact, and me not knowing what the hell they mean. Mad

Can someone please make an acronym dictionary or something?
