Apart from a possible reluctance to shake hands, what other changes might we see?

"Male giant octopuses mature sexually before females. During mating, the male uses a specialized tentacle to insert a sperm packet into the female."

Ladies: after a dinner, a night dancing and a moonlit walk, what could be more erotic than the man you love using a tentacle to insert a sperm packet into you?

I've noticed a lot of anti-French sentiment on this forum. Is it relating to the French opposition to military action in Iraq?

It's hardly foolish to not want to fight if the UN finds no WMD is it?

3000 French families won't be missing a family member this Christmas will they?

Are there logical reasons for your hatred, or is this just sour grapes and bigotry?

It seems to largely to be anti-war and pro-multilateralism.

If this is the case then it seems to me that much of the rest of the democratic world thinks the same way...

For example: for me, I'd hate to have to experience the female reproductive cycle: menstruation, giving birth don't appeal at all...

Would that allow a better understanding of logistics, reality and suffering?

From the Independent newspaper this morning:

"Mark Lancaster, Tory MP for North East Milton Keynes and a major in the Territorial Army who has just returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, said: "My view is that British forces are having to cobble units together. The current level of operation is unsustainable."

If more politicians served in horrendous conditions, perhaps they'd be less inclined to precipitate those said same conditions...

Ladies can answer this too: where would be convenient for you?

I always understood that one needed health insurance in the US, due to lack of government funding. Is this not the case?

If it's chain-link (and I can't see it being anything else) wire-cutters will do the job in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail. What use is fence with holes in it? Sounds a waste to me.

Is cost a lot to buy the 2 shoe the same way? do i buy 4 shoe and thro 2 away or do I giv to my brother???? pleese

The word around the campfire is that all we do is lie to ladies, but we're so crap at it we don't know that they do know.

How can we ALL (come clean fellas, that's ALL we ever do) improve our lying technique?

How many TVs, cars, appliances etc does your household have?

Compare that to how many of each your parents, and grandparents would have had at the same age. Are we chasing consumerables at the expense of things that matter such as society, generosity?

Justify with a sentence answer...

Who does the menial jobs that many Latin Americans currently do, and that Americans themselves don't want to do?

I've been reading about Afghanistan. While it's difficult to judge propoganda on both sides, it seems that support for Nato is eroding. Once the majority of Afghanis don't want you there, what are you doing there? And what chance is there of winning a war with no popular support, or even covert opposition?

The USSR couldn't manage it and I'm sure that there was less emphasis on "hearts and minds" from the Soviet leadership.

The more people you kill, the more orphaned children you have with an incentive to strike back against the killers of their parents.

A recipe for ongoing terrorism, anyone?

How will this war help the people of Afghanistan, and the people of other nations?

And I'm pretty sure Timothy McVeigh of the Oklahoma bombing can be. Jim Jones?

Home grown terrorists that are ignored in the current debate that argues all terrorists are "foreign" without white skin.

What say you?

Using this rationale, shouldn't the "Axis of Evil" be sending missiles over right away?

There must be an urgent need to hate something else this week...
