Palin Screws Her Stupid Fans
Maybe one of her kids got really sick so she had to rush home, or maybe she just didn't feel like it tonight and hadn't been made aware of how big of a deal this was to the people who support her. Maybe she did want to do the signing but her handlers messed it up somehow. I just don't feel comfortable blaming everything on Palin with no knowledge of what really happened, just because it's Palin.
Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
Reading Blankfist's posts, it appears he's arguing that in this specific case the restaurant was in the right. Seeing as how the extra charge was clearly made known to these customers well before they ordered their meal, I'm 100% in agreement that they're liable to pay their bill, regardless of the service they received.
However, what Gwiz seemed to be arguing is the theoretical scenario in which a restaurant adds a charge without telling the customer beforehand, effectively tricking the customer into a situation where they have to pay more than was advertised and therefore not giving the customer the chance to take their business elsewhere. If I got that right I'm in 100% agreement with Gwiz aswell.
The key word here is communication. A restaurant has the right to add whatever charge it likes, aswell as raise their prices as much as they like. I've no problem with paying an extra 18%, so long as the restaurant has made it clear that this is their practice. This can be done with a note in their menu, a few words from a staff member or whatever. Knowing that there is an extra 18% charge on top of the total price gives the customer the opportunity to decide whether or not to eat there. But getting a table, ordering the food, eating it and getting the bill before finding out this extra expenditure is not acceptable business practice in my opinion.

Obama Bows to Japanese Emperor Akihito
Do you know how many time they meet and shake hands in front of the camera like that? Well I can tell you it's enough times to warrant an initial bow, followed only by subsequent handshakes. You can definately find a picture where the emperor and my king bow to eachother, garantueed! Also, some of these heads of state have spent everything from a few years to several decades in events together. As I understand it, bowing is oftentimes more of a formal greeting for people introducing themselves to each other. Is that wrong?
As we've so clearly seen in this slideshow, if your agenda is to paint someone up as being more humble than the rest and at the same time try to equate that trait as something negative, then there's more than enough of a selection of pictures to choose from.

Would it be bad form... (Terrible Talk Post)
The vote shouldn't necessarily have to take into consideration anything but the content and quality of the video. So whether or not some hosting site needs revenue streams or whatever is irrelevant to the vote itself. Looking at it from that perspective, it's basically the same reasoning as with the downvoting on blocked videos. All the blocked people can see is a black screen, and that's neither fun nor interesting to watch.

Brian Cox on The Colbert Report
I'm sure he's a nice enough man in person, but for some reason there's just something about him that's extremely irksome. Just seems like some people just can't stand each other, most of the time for little to no real reason. For me it's this guy and that newswoman Amy Goodman.
