    Reccomend a restaurant in NYC

    I like Butter in Astor Place. http://butterrestaurant.com/ If that's too expensive, go to Golden Unicorn: http://www.goldenunicornrestaurant.com/ Or go to Brooklyn Heights and eat at Noodle Pudding: http://www.yelp.com/biz/noodle-pudding-brooklyn

    2 nights in NYC, what to do

    The list below is excellent. Also, when walking from Battery Park to WTC (instead of taking the 4/5 to Fulton), if you take the right streets you'll go right past the Wall Street Bull statue (at Bowling Green Plaza, everyone gets a picture with this thing!), the New York Stock Exchange and...

    Lasik surgery, yea or nay? What do you know about it.

    Had LASEK (not LASIK) done 1 year ago, I went from -6.5 to 20/20 with no side effects - one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    Some reasons why you should be a liberal rather than a conservative

    I'm not sure that Jesus would advocate using force to take from those who have (against their will) to give to those who don't have anything. Are there any examples of this in the Bible?

    Avatar made me want to throw up

    Please tell me you are joking? I guess you missed the part at the beginning where they said that all the soldiers were mercenaries working for a corporation. There is no analogy to make to the US government. All the soldiers were working and murdering the native people for a private...

    Question about Food, INC.

    I don't have an answer to your question - but I just wanted to say that I thought this was a great movie that was fair to all the parties involved. I also was laughing when they were interviewing the guy *while* he was slaughtering chickens. Same with the chickadees on the conveyor belt in the...

    why do we tip bartenders?

    I won't speak for bartenders - but try eating at restaurants in foreign countries where tipping is not normal - from everything I have personally seen, the level of service is far below that which you get in the states. I know I am not answering your question, but I overwhelmingly prefer a...

    Talk about sinking the boat

    I know this didn't invoke the US, but does Canada not have something eqivilent to the fourth amendment? Is border patrol looking through your files normal? I think here in the states homeland security reserves the right to copy your files but I've never heard of it actually happening.

    Really Kanye? Really?

    I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift has already sold more albums than Kanye West - there was just a thing in the news that Taylor Swift has crossed 10 million total records - I don't think Kanye West is there yet.

    17-year old decapitated by Batman roller coaster at Six Flags in Georgia

    OK, but seriously - they send a roller-coaster car on the tracks every 1 or 2 minutes right? And the coaster was probably at that 1 spot to kill him for 1 second out of every 2 minutes. Isn't this something you'd look out for if you were in a *restricted* area?

    Ron Paul won Washington state

    Pardon my ignorance - it says "Presidential hopeful Ron Paul said he will not run as a third-party candidate in a new message to supporters that seems to recognize his slim chances at getting the Republican nomination." - How does saying you won't run as a 3rd party imply you are giving up on...

    Neighbor was showing liveleak videos to 6 year old daughter

    You have the right to say what you want, but you were out of line. Are you one of those sissy parents who calls social services if you see a parent spanking their child for bad behavior? I would have thrown you out of my house as well.

    Couple's 3 children all born on Oct. 2

    being born on 10/2 is nothing special - 9 months pregnancy: 10/2 - 9 = 1/2. It is all the result of drunken New Years f'ing.
