The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray? He is now a seasoned veteran.

Hey the Orinoco is not a rain forest, it is a river in a rainforest (the Amazon). None the less the Orinoco flows to some beautifull sceneries. We used to live in Puerto Ordaz (Venezuela) which is close to the Caroni River (a tributary to the Orinoco). That's were I learned to eat Liguana. The meat is mostly white and stringy, and no it does not taste like chiken.

Your comment is a typical one from people that think they know better. I did not belittle the suffering of the Holocaust victims. I am merley saying that they need to count themselves lucky that they are receiving a pension. Any other people that suffred under any other regime would not have been given anything. I am pretty sure that the Africans that where slaves for 200 years in the US suffered equally as much as the holocaust victims, yet they never received any kind of compensation. The benchmark of human atrocity is no longer the Holocaust, it is countries like yours that allow people in countries like Ethiopis to starve to death, that do not rush to help countries like Rwanda to stop a genocide from happening. What about all the countries like the UK, Belgium, France and Portugal that have plundered the natural riches of their colonies and then just left them to rot? What about the systematic slaugthering of the native American Indians, by European settler in North America and South America. So if you think that there aren't any people that have suffered eaually or worse then the Holocaust vicitms you need to wake up and smell the roses.

Should you get passed the employment agency with that kind of graphic then you need to remember that the HR person looking at that graphic is not gooing to understand what the graphic means and chuck you appliction in the bin.

Other then the HTML, the C and acronym question I made educated guesses. Question 1: The only machine I could relate to in that question was a loom hence I chose weaving fabric. Question 2: Amazing Grace just sounded better then the others. Question 3: I learned that at uni. Question 4: I figured many developers survive those long midnight stints on pizza so there must have been some bright spark that developed a language and called it that, so lettuce was the only option left. Question 5: Got the movie question wrong. Question 6: That one was obvious. Question 7: That one was obvious.

6/7 got the movie question wrong.

I'd rather not have them "foc" me in the "uss" and they can keep their dinner.

Yes I understand what the Nazis did was horrific. These slave labourers should count themselves lucky that they are receiving a special pension. If they were slave labourers in most other countries they would have gotten nothing. Having said that, it is not right that the Germans drop this bomb on them know. Let them be, in another 10 to 20 years there wont be any WW2 survivors left that would qualify for the pernsion.

That product name is absolutely hilarious.

Yes it sad to see a beloved family member on their deathbed. But think of the alternative, it would be far worse if this person remained alive and had to keep on suffering the pain and other effects of a crippling disiease. Go see you grandfather, not feeling sad because you might loose him soon, but feeling happy that you were able to share so much joy with him during his life.

We had a Peugeot 807 Pullman Eventhough it was a nice car to drive it was expensive to maintain, and we always needed to wait for spares to be imported from France. In the first year we had to replace the catalytic converter, the throttle housing, the CO2 sensor, the oxygen sensor, the tyre pressure sensors and the automatic windscreen wiper sensor. The car spent a total of 4 months at the dealers for repairs, that year. The built quality was also not the best. The car came factory fitted with 3 sunroofs and all three leaked. If I ever had to opt for a french car again I would choose a Renault, they seem to be better built. But then again I will never buy a French car again. Since you are considering the XC90, you should also have look at the BMW X5.

Thanks Nish, for explaing that. I didn't know how this process works.

To the moderator who removed my message. It might have been a very blunt and direct question, but still a valid question. There was no foul language in the question, nor was there any reference to any subject that would be considered to be of an adult nature, nor did it touch on any political subject. In essence the message was completely within the rules of the lounge. This means that you overstepped your boundary as a moderator, shame on you.

If he is KIA fighting another country's war. Will she then display the following Bumper sticker with equal pride. "My Grandson is a dead Marine", or will she blame the Marine Corps.

People need to stop being so damn sensitive, politically correct and hypocrtical. If you for one minute think, you would'nt get statements that are patronising, sexist or crass, if the the posts were dominated by females. I would have to say, that you need to wake up, and smell the roses. Women can be just as vulgar, condescending, insensitive, etc as men. As far as I am concerned, if the girls want to play with the boys then they need to accept the way boys are and vice versa. Having said this, it does not mean, that we should not be polite and considerate to other members feelings. It means if a light hearted comment comes along, that might be interpreted as crass, patronizing or politically incorrect by some, then don't get your panties in a twist, see it for what it is, a joke.
