Then why not use 'THAT' and 'ANY' instead? Also, in your example, what is the purpose of referencing particular phone with 'THE'? Why not just 'on phone'? NB. Just like zvrba I was (still am) having t

True. However the inflexibility of the physical media (pen/typewriter+paper) forced people to think and plan before they acted. These days, not so much, and I can see the difference in approach when my kids are writing essays - back in

I have children. They go to school. We can only go to vacation during school holidays. Prices go up during this time sometimes 2-3 times. How's this working out for "equality"?

> many children learn to kill and dress game early in life Can you give some examples? I'm genuinely curious about the first, "learn to kill", type of games.

Why killing needs to be presented as a game? You want to teach children about life and death? Get then to a slaughterhouse. No? Why not? It's just teaching them about life and death...

It is quite difficult to come up with a good catchy name that has no meaning in the real world, and yet is easy to memorize. Having said that, I agree with you (and don't understand why people were down-voting, you make a perfectly val

No. Adding the tag is no burden. The burden is finding out what EXACTLY needs to be added. EDIT: Sometimes it's enough to mention the author, sometimes you need to provide link to the license as well, etc, etc.

I guess if they inverted it, so that the passengers get exposed to negative g force it would be "safer". It seems that -3g is enough to kill, so 7 loops of -10g would be sure death. EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Why does it always need to be about the money?? Imagine giving a candy to a child. You make the child happy, and that is your reward. Or do you expect the child to say something like "let me pay you"?...
