    Things my patients have taught me NOT to do...

    It's been a while. I thought I'd send up an update with contributions from my colleagues from around the world: * Just because someone dares you to insert the handle of a wooden kitchen spoon into your penis doesn't mean that you are obligated to...and you definitely shouldn't. * If your...

    The Dark Knight broke the all-time opening

    Actually, I thought the story this time around was almost as good - almost as good - as Batman Begins. There were some 'huh? what the?' bits in the middle and some parts right before the ending was a little let-downish... but on the whole, it was great. My wife and I really, really, really...

    Is 'Paki' Really A Racist Word?

    As far as I knew, I thought "paki" was the equivalent of "wog". Either case, it's not a term I'd use when referring to another person - the same reason I don't call someone "*****" or "cracker" or "mick" etc. cheers,

    Test your "political compass"

    Re: The "electronic town hall meeting" perhaps (flashback to Perot 1992) ... (emphases mine) Ahhh what the hell! They're just "dusty old documents" anyway. What possible relevance could they have in today's society.... right? Hey, while we are discussing "dusty old documents", can we toss...

    Is Your Town Famous In Fiction?

    Apparently, my town is famous for "Ragtime". I thought "Buffalo 66" should at-least have been an 'honorable mention' (yes I know, it's semi-autobiographical film). cheers,

    I have solved America's oil crisis without Coastal Drilling

    More than 50% of American "gas problems" could be saved if we quit sending our tanks, carriers and warplanes throughout the rest of the world - be it Darfur or be it Iraq. We have a powerful, strong military - but it's very existence demands a lions share of our national resources. Of course...

    Rambo IV

    I tried watching it again last night. I've come to the conclusion that most of my dislike stems from the ending (and of course, how it deviates from the actual novel). Still, all in all, a watchable movie - I especially related to the whole "why you gotta push me around? I ain't done nothing...

    Dr. DeBakey has ****** away

    Full story Oh what a sad day! Humanity lost one of it's brightest sparks today :( I had a chance to meet Dr. DeBakey during the late 80s and unlike the stereotypical attitude of most surgeons, he was gracious and most personable with nary a hint of ego or arrogance (despite his monumental...

    Favorite Historical Battle?

    Speaking of historic battles, I've always favored Hans Langsdorff and the Admiral Graff Spee. Most famous for "The Battle of the River Platte" (Links: Page 1, Page 2). That in a day and age where industrialised mass ****** was "acceptable", honor and chivalry not only existed but was...

    Favorite Historical Battle?

    I'm surprised to see little to no mention of the Pacific War (Guadalcanal, Coral Sea, Midway, Okinawa), Korea (Inchon, Punchbowl/Heartbreak Ridge, Pork Chop Hill) or Vietnam.... How about Passchendaele? Somme? Verdun? cheers,

    Grief leads ****** to create bomb-defusing robot

    Sons (or *********) are not supposed to be buried by their parents. ******** bury their parents. NOT the other way 'round. Nothing he ever does will fill that huge gaping hole in his heart. The media can write and type all they want. Arm chair commentators can squak all they desire. But the...

    ******* in the 'War on ******': Christopher Hitchens gets waterboarded

    I don't need Christopher Hitchens or George Bush to make up my mind about if this is ******* or not. It. Is. *******. It's no different than applying battery leads to a mans scrotum. I fear for my ******** and for the **** out there deployed in a hundred different countries. - R.

    What should the West do about Iran?

    As much as I nod my head in appreciation of Hedgehog's post #9 in this thread, I am tempted to state: Q: What should the West do about Iran? A: 1. Why should the "West" do anything at all about Iran? 2. Does "West" = "United States" ? 3. If point #2 is true, I revert to point #1 - why is it...

    Are You Smart Enough to Be German?

    Which Indian Woman is Hotter?

    senob, Yes, the dude had a serious fixation for Indian women. Maybe he's Indian himself. Maybe he's curious as to what a predominantly "western" board thinks about Indian women. Who knows?

    What's the weather like where your from?

    Hot and too humid. Too many people coming in/calling in with respiratory and heat symptoms. Especially the out-of-shape-middle-age folk. I wish it would rain a lot more. Dry heat is somewhat preferably to moist, humid heat. cheers,

    Yep. Plot holes you could drive a battle ship through. For ****** out loud, even Starship Troopers was a better movie! I can't believe Morgan Freeman accepted the script. I've come to expect better from him. As for Jolie? She was good in one film. One film only. The Bone Collector. She's done...

    Bollywood?

    95% of it is crap (then again, so is Hollywood). But the remaining 5% makes up for it (also having a wife who understands the language and culture better than you do kinda helps, I guess). For example, I really liked "Ab Tak Chappan" - some parts of it were way better than Bullit (or even...
