I've no real comparison. I never had to ask any of my ex's to cook or learn to cook they've just wanted to and probably known that this would be a good idea. Must be women's intuition.
One of me ex's turned into a vegan and that played a part in ending the relationship. She'd still fry me a steak for dinner whilst she had couscous(a.k.a tasteless misery sand)or whatever, but after a while I realised that life's too short.
Some yes, some no. The former cronies of the Shah are very pro-west - and I used to think this was the whole story - but apparently life and opportunities have improved dramatically for the poor, for women and for people in general since the revolution. Or so says my brother's Iranian girlfriend whose parents actually moved back to Iran from the UK after the fall of the Shah despite being atheist and moderate.
Well Iran has been doing sweet FA thus far to help the shias out. It'll take some getting used to for them and us having the West and Iran on the same side, not allies as such, but as fellow combatants or 'frassholes' as I prefer to call it.
That's be about £10 an hour sterling; too much to pay somebody to flip burgers. The semi-skilled and care workers often don't get that when burger flipping is unskilled and I'd rather serve arseholes than wipe arseholes.
The double Irish arrangement is a tax avoidance strategy that multinational corporations use to lower their corporate tax liability. The strategy uses payments between related entities in a corporate structure to shift income from a higher-tax country to a lower-tax country. It relies on the fact that Irish tax law does not include US transfer pricing rules. Specifically, Ireland uses territorial taxation, and hence does not levy taxes on income booked at subsidiaries of Irish companies that are outside of the state. In the late 1980s, Apple Inc. was among the pioneers in creating this tax structure.
It's bloody silly! Women don't buy into this(seeming)nicely niceness in this day and age. Men should only be as nice to women as women are nice to men. All equal.
Why am I not surprised to see that the top for anything active and/or creative - most videos, most blogs and even the most poems posted - is mostly male.
And the top for anything that involves doing nothing and receiving praise anyway - most fans, most photo comments, most top rated pics etc - is almost all female: I dread to think of the numbers of beta orbiters on this site. Everything that's critically wrong with the male approach to dating can be gleamed from that top 100.
I have this mental image of you drunk and eating oven fries, frozen, right outta the bag until you throw up all over yourself. I do like a drink, but you are not a good endorsement for alcohol.
My prediction for Scottish independece is that it will be a boon, at least initially. The bureaucracy will expand massively and much activity will be created by going independent - all of this will be financed by the EU.
Sometime thereafter the debts to Europe, the loss of UK economies of scale, and the real costs of independence will hit Scotland, and hit hard. The Scottish govt will then start axing welfare - infuriating the Scottish people - and lowering tax to undercut its neighbours - infuriating the English.
The response from the English will be protectionism and maybe even blocking transport links to Scotland. London - the world capital of fashion, finance and prestige - will not stand idly by as Edinburgh - which has none of the cool and the kudos(which matter in business) - attempts to slice off 20% of London's trade. Scotland could end up like Greece after this.
Now the problem the 'no' campaign has that it is the truth - The 'yes' campaign sells a dream - and the problem with the truth is that people usually don't like it. The 'no' vote reflects the brutal reality that the world has you by the balls - not an easy line to sell.
Absolutely. I wouldn't relinquish anything to the EU as it stands today. I'm not sure how much of an advantage this will give to the US, however. The fundamental problems the EU and the US have in regards to China are the same.
And that's what the B in BRICS is useful for. Brazil and South Africa serve as beachheads into the foreign continents that an aspiring global power needs to exploit.
Our debt act as a mechanism to redistribute wealth from West to East. Rightly speaking nations overspending such as ours should see their currencies collapse in value, but through a political arrangement this does not happen. We are basically pretending our currencies are worth more, and China is pretending its currency is worth less, so we can continue a situation where they sell and we buy - plushy for those alive in the West at the time - until China becomes the big creditor.
No one in the West wants to leave this fantasyland - our whole standard of living is built on the consumerism that debt pays for - and therefore the debt will continue to rise until China surpasses us in all manner, by every measure and no longer needs our advanced technology and education etc..
And we have similar hopes for fracking for gas in the UK. Some sort of energy independence would be a huge weight off our shoulders.
Economic illiteracy in the same vein of that which created the 2008 economic crash. Scotland will get much worse if she goes independent, and England will suffer too, mark my words.
Some smaller nations are wealthier because they're tax haven districts for the uber rich. They're not really nations, but fiefs which select for the wealthy but don't actually produce wealth - Big difference.
Scotland's indy plan, however, is to be more Socialistic than England and even if they do try and undercut us - in say the way the Irish do with lower corporation tax - London and the whole nation will respond heavily against them. And Ireland's GDP is only higher because foreign corporations declare their earnings there and GDP doesn't deduct income paid to foreign creditors, and this why the GNP in Ireland is less than Britain.
The US/West is not emerging as a winner, it has offset a crisis so as to pretend it's still a winner, and even then it's gone from being a clear winner to being a close winner. You need to respect the momentum. In real terms we're having our arses handed to us by the day.
Those three are the threat. South Africa is a nothing in and of itself, but it is strategically located and useful for helping China to extract resources from the world's children(Sub-Saharan Africans).
The greatest threat to world peace are generations gibsmedat. And if we put our hand on our hearts, and think critically, then we all know who was the first and founding of the over-entitled gibsmedats.
The fact that we can be here in 2014, the lowest point in Western history in 500 years, and yet barely a cluster of Westerners hold themselves accountable for the state of the West is itself the perfect demonstration of how the gibsmedat thinks.
