how does it feel to not be an american?
the internet is shutting me down! I cant buy a friggen lawn tractor starting motor because I don' have a US adress. I cant watch a tv show. I just submitted this, read it and tell me if you think I am nuts for thinking the internet is more than just an American advertisings space:
good question.... I am not an american, and am getting kind of fed up with coming across "this video is not available in your location". I was lookng for the classic Hawaii fiveO, and can't find it. I did not note the first site I found but was denied access to, but the second was tvfanatic, and the third was cbs. And now there is this one, worldtvpc. (sounds international, doesn't it?)
The executives of america need to recognize the internet does go beyond US borders, and need to let all of us "outsiders" know in advance the rest of the world is not entitled, or welcome.
I know, like, and have American friends, and I am sure this will be a lively topic over the holidays, and am sure this email will not damage our relations. But for the executives who consider the internet as bordered the same way your country is, have a friken look around! You are not the only country in the world!
(For Scott, I my not get to Washington this year, but we will talk on skype, say hi to the twins)
I am going to throw a copy of this on yahoo, just to see if there is any one else pissed at the american execs, who only see as far the end of their own noses.

1 AnswerCar Audio & Electronics1 decade agohow would you deal with a disruptive, disrespectful boy in a scout troop?
I have a young fellow in my scout troop. Nice enough when one on one, but put him around other kids and he is hell on wheels. He swears, he lies, he talks without respect, you should hear what he talks about when he thinks you can't hear him to the other boys! He scratched s leaders paint on their car with a message. Now he has gone to far too many times, and I have told him at our next meeting, he will be disciplined by the troop. His mom sent an email saying he is not coming for a month. She gave valid points, but I think he wants to lay low until the discipline thing is over. Do I talk to mom, who loves her son but is aware of his doings, do I just wait for him to get back, and then...?
2 AnswersFamily1 decade agodoes it disturb you when people say "I deserve it" without having done anything to deserve anything?
My mother in law has no money, but she just went and spent $30 on a bouquet of flowers for herself, and said she deserved a treat. Last month she showed up here so broke she could not afford to put enough gas in the car to go home. Now I find out she has bought new furniture and a laptop. I don't think she can afford it, but she is under the impression that life has kicked her around and so she deserves things. So she buys them, and is going into debt with no way to repay it. What do you think? Do you know someone like this?

5 AnswersZoology1 decade agoWhat are you asking? And why are you asking it so poorly?
Is this place full of morons? Someone just asked if anyone lived in Texas. A few days ago, someone asked if she would like sex. And how many stunned bunnies post their homework questions on here?
Content and Grammer count, people! Include it or I will ridicule you and your question, every chance I get.
2 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agowhat do you think about dual citizenship?
There are tonnes of people from our country that have dual citizenship, but live somewhere else. They pay no taxes here, but can get gandma in to collect pensions. They add nothing to our culture, because they live in another country, but they come here for health benefits. They don't have to live with the reamifications of their political votes, but they still are asked who should lead us.
Is this right?
And just for fun, what if their country and ours, the very two countries to which they claim aligiance to, were to go to war? What if both had a draft?

I am selling juice, and making money at it. I make more when more people sign up. The person who signed me up is making money from every bottle I sell, and I m making money from each of the people I signed up. So, if it is healthy, is a good preventative medicine, and can help people who are already sick, why are people so skeptical?
4 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoShould new immigrants be encouraged to adopt their new land's cultures and history?
I just finished watching a documentary on how muslems in Europe were not as well tolerated as they are in North America. They have not assimilated, and the original inhabitants are getting more and more upset that they are loosing the culture of their forefathers. So, should the new country try to enforce compliance with language, religion, culture.... or should they try to make new immigrants welcome without reservation?
