People seem surprised by the fact that Hitler was a vegetarian and a teetotaler. I am not saying that I agree with Hitler’s philosophies or ideologies, far from it. However, I feel that showing surprise that Hitler had principals is being rather ignorant of the historical facts. The truth is that Hitler wanted perfection, what he called an Arien Race. A race of perfect people. The fact that he defined who was perfect and who wasn’t (especially considering the fact that he himself did not fit his description of his ideal being) was a tad loopy, especially as he went by hair colour, religion and who your grandparents were despite perhaps their death before your birth. I guess the point is that he actually saw the people who were not “perfect” to be of less value than animals.
Mind you perhaps his ideas were not completely bad, because sometimes I think people who can torture kids, rape them and kill them deserve a slower more painful death than gas chambers! But then again, that would not fall within his theories…. just my own!!

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.” William Shakespeare
Let’s be honest, if you have a friend like this, you have a soul mate and not just a friend. True friendships are rare and very special. Today, sadly, friendship has become almost as disposable as the rest of our life! I am still young and my childhood feels like a lifetime ago. We never had expiry dates on anything (let alone non food items)! Friendships spanned a lifetime even if people crossed the Atlantic (and this was at a time when Internet did not exist freely and calling abroad cost more per minute than the average hourly wage). And yet today, I will walk past someone I attended school with and they will simply walk past me without even a blink of an eyelash. So if you have a friend who meets Mr Shakespeare’s definition, then treasure them, for they are a rarity indeed!

If you want to conceal a weapon remember to ensure that it is small than 6 feet, as it is illegal to conceal a weapon bigger than that in Kentucky!
I am 5″4… I wonder how I can conceal a weapon sized 5″11? Any ideas?

If you are unfortunate enough to need dentures, are female and live in Vermont, then you unfortunately need a written letter of consent from your husband to actually wear them!
I wonder if the men sign them bearing in mind certain practises are safer without teeth!!

The UAE - United Arab Emirates are really trying to go out of their way to become Westernised. However as long as their legislation includes things like Male Doctors not being allowed to look directly at a woman’s genitals during an examination, then they really have no hope.
In case you are wondering, they can look at the genitals via a mirror!!

Keep Holy the Sabbath. This legally includes that thou shalt not pick your nose on Saturday in Israel. Guess that means that it is acceptable the rest of the week. What about eating?????

If you go to Prison in Denmark, it pays to run away. After all it is not illegal to escape. The only catch is if you are then silly enough to get caught, you have to serve the remainder of your term. Fair enough if I say so myself!

Apparently a fish market in Japan had to be closed down due to lack of manners by some sub human beings! They deemed it acceptable to lick fish which was being auctioned to head to sushi restaurants. I am so sure that they would go balistic if their food was licked prior to their eating it! Why they thought it was acceptable for them to lick it is beyond comprehension. Personally I would have made them pay for the fish (which considering some sell in the region of $10k is not inconsiderable).
No wonder our world sucks more by the day. Some of us have shameful manners (if we have any at all).

“If only I had a little humility, I’d be perfect!”. Ted Turner
Ted, don’t mind me saying so, but you need bucketfuls of humility and not just a little. And this is just by your quote and not by anything else!!

Here is a puzzler… Sky and other TV services often offer live event video streaming but Sky also offer the ability to “pause live tv“. So my question is if you pause “live tv“, then it is no longer live is it?
Does it make you wonder about the validity of paying surplus to watch something live and then pause it to watch it on delay?
