    No, they aren't even close.

    And no friends with ex lovers (at least it hasn't worked for me).

    And no to eating the apple.

    Would you send back food at a restaurant if you didn't think it was very good?

    Sure, but I'd be discreet about it. I hate it when people try to show off by bullying food staff.

    Total elimination of tipping.

    Aye... the rest of the world has it right on this one.

    Awhile ago I was at a bar with some friends and I ordered one drink and I think my girlfriend and her friend ordered one, anyway after I got my drink (a beer, she handed it to me) and was walking away the bartender said "hey you know, it really helps to tip your bartender" and I said "no thanks" and she refused to serve me after, though there were other bars in the club.

    Waiters and waitresses also make way way too much money, especially here in Banff where it is absolutely not uncommon for them to bring home $300 or $400+ in a night.

    So yes, get rid of it, pay them $15 an hour or something normal and raise food prices 5%.

    In America, waitressing is the number one job for single mothers, and very few of them make $4-500 dollars a night, so their children live on their tips.

    As to Thomas Mann: he's ok; I'd take Goethe or Sebald over him, tough guy.

    Reality television?

    What do I care? People are going to be poor and work **** jobs no matter how much money you throw at them. Single mothers also aren't sacred.

    Nay.

    Ricky Gervais?

    I completely agree about getting tipping. I personally know Taiwan Chinese who have opened restaurants in the US, who laugh themselves silly that Americans want to give them money for nothing.

    Football for elementary students?

    Wow, you're quite the classy, compassionate guy. "Single mothers aren't sacred." My lord, I'm going to have to remember that jewel.

    Yay to The Office Ricky Gervais; no to the post-Office Gervais...and video gaming is not a sport

    Bill Maher?

    Aye, an esport at least, and they command pretty huge followings and viewership, especially in Korea.

    Football shouldn't be in elementary school, no contact sport should be and none should be mandatory. One concussion is too many.

    Do you watch/enjoy UFC?

    They aren't, and neither are children while we're at it.

    Yeah, I get it, you're callous and cool; It's all very impressive. I'm sure you'll never need compassion yourself, so don't worry about it.

    No.

    Is chauvinism sensible?

    It' not a matter of them being sacred, it's a matter of your dismissive, callous statement negating the fact they are the most vulnerable, most needy members of our society. If you weren't so wrapped up in your being impressed with your own callousness, you would have grasped that.
