If you OWN an automatic, can you (competently) drive a stick?

8 AnswersOther - Cars & Transportation1 decade agoWhy is there such a sense of entitlement today? So many people want something for "free". Free downloads, free
free computers, free music, free video games.
I must be getting old, but I really want to know.
8 AnswersEtiquette1 decade agoAnybody been on the Amtrak Southwest Chief?
If so, did you have a sleeper car? What was your favorite stop. Any pointers?
3 AnswersOther - United States1 decade agoDid everybody vote today?
It is time for change in the US, and we, the people have an obligation to get out there and make our voices heard.
To all you Bush naysayers - there is a REASON his approval rating is at 35% (the lowest of any sitting president).
Get out there, hit the polls and stop this idiotic war, and the right-wind agenda.
11 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy do airline travelers get so IMPATIENT?
I was at LAX on Sunday - along with hoardes of irritated passengers who couldn't get to Hawaii. The airlines had to cancel flights due to the earthquake and loss of power at the island airports.
They were taking their frustrations out on the hapless gate agents. It isn't THEIR fault that an earthquake interrupted any plans to go to Hawaii.
But, this is a common occurrence, something happens with a flight, and the agent takes it in the shorts. Any ideas why we (as a society) can misdirect so much anger and feelings of entitlement?
9 AnswersEtiquette1 decade agoWhat cell company has the best coverage on Oahu?
Verizon always seems to drop calls on Fort Weaver Road, and near the airport.
2 AnswersHonolulu1 decade agoRepubs, answer this one for me: Clinton was nearly impeached for having sex with a woman - but the whole Foley
mess seems to be getting swept under the carpet. This, in spite of the fact that he molested an UNDERAGED child.
He says he is "troubled" by the fact that he, himself was molested as a child - but does that make being a pederast acceptable?
Also, how about the THREE YEAR LONG coverup?
10 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoAnybody else hooked on Nip/Tuck?
My wife got me started, now I have watched the entire first season on DVD. It's intense.
Who's your favorite character/guest star?
I enjoyed ROsie O'Donnell a couple of weeks back.
11 AnswersTelevision1 decade agoHow did our society get so many calloused and uncaring people (re: 9/11)?
So many of the posts are from people who are "tired" of hearing about 9/11.
Is empathy dead? Has the value of human life declined to the point where no one cares about anyone else?
It is very sad. Please share some thoughts that will - hopefully - contradict this.
It seems like people are so very selfish now. But also unaware.
"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."
9 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoDem or Rep - Why? College educated or not?
Are you liberal (Dem) or conservative (Rep).
If you're RePUBICan, are you college educated (by that, I mean, do you actually have a degree)? If yes, two years or four?
It seems like most of the Republicans here are young, non ethnic, and non-educated.
I would like to take a poll, and see if you can convincingly dispel that idea.
31 AnswersOther - Politics & Government2 decades agoAnybody else home sick with a cold?
Am I the only one who gets stuffed up on only one side, depending on the side I am laying on? If I lie on my left side, my left nostril gets congested, and vice-versa. Aughhhh!
2 AnswersOther - General Health Care2 decades agoAnyone else besides me like to hear a real voice, not a computerized menu when calling businesses?
I really go out of my way to work with companies that make it easy for the consumer. A live person who answers the phone, a definite chain of command (as opposed to a call center which may, or may not, be located in the US). Anyone else feel this way? I will pay SUBSTANTIALLY more for a product or service that is customer oriented, not dollar oriented. Opinions?
8 AnswersCorporations2 decades agoDo people know that spell check isn't perfect? There, their and they're. How about lose and loose?
We still need to use our brains, in conjunction with the technology of the day. Come on, folks!
8 AnswersOther - Education2 decades agoHow do you deal with really bad service?
I get all agitated and annoyed, and barge into manager's offices and such - but with mixed results. Does the squeaky wheel really get the grease, or do you really catch more flies with honey?
5 AnswersEtiquette2 decades agoAnynold else from Hawaii annoyed with the drivers here?
No idea of fast-lane usage, and they never let you by. I have LITERALLY seen drivers doing 45 in the far left lane. ARGHHHH!
3 AnswersOther - Cars & Transportation2 decades agoAnybody else think that the advent of the computer has dumbed down America?
People can't count, we have already talked about spelling, now when you go to a bank or other retail service, no one knows how to do anything manually if the computers are "down".
6 AnswersOther - Society & Culture2 decades agoBest way to change careers without starting at the absolute bottom?
I have some very marketable skills, as well as a Bachelor's Degree ... but every job wants X amount of experience. Very frustrating.
4 AnswersCareers & Employment2 decades agoWhy is it that so many people on the internet can't spell?
Spell check is available, and it seems like it might make your question so much clearer.
