anyway, who do you guys think should pay if you go on a date or go out with your gf?
I say, either split the bill or take turns... which is what 99% of the ppl in sweden would to, but here its soooo different... so '50s!!!
Have the woman pay! We've been paying them in the 50's, time for them to return the favor!

A business is not a day care center. People either do their job or they leave. You can give them a bit of time but not let them bring down the rest of the team.
Yea. He wasn't even a full team member. He was transitioning over to our team under the expectation that he would be able to work with the team in the proscribed method. Not only does he not have the necessary skills to do the job, but he's a hindrance in general. Either which way, it's a moot point. We had a massive corporate restructuring today anyway. New boss, new team, new responsibilities ... the works. Blah I'm gonna be busy the next week or two.

so true. we should also let them redo all the work we have been doing the last 4000 years or so... so all men can have vacation starting now, and all the women will start to pay everything for us!

Personally, I like to spoil my women. But I demand consideration. I have much more respect for a woman who approaches a relationship as if it were a 50-50 arrangement. However, I can't help but admit satisfaction in unevening the odds once I determine their character ...

At all times it's the law, no underware either. I mean you'd look pretty silly to be walking about not wearing a kilt.
I remember an American telling me, when I told him I was Scottish:
A "Your English is really good."
M "Ehhh so is yours...?"
A "Oh no you see, in America we speak English all the time."
M "Wow everyday is a school day ehh?"
A ***"knowing"smile***

Another news storey.....Hispanic Americans will make up 25% of the American population by 2050, non Hispanic whites will make up just over 50% of the population.....interesting.......but there is very good news for the men.......

Overall in the US, women will continue to outnumber men, the report says.

There will be 6.9 million more females than males in 2050, compared to 5.3 million more in 2000 - when the last census was taken.
