Girls are not evil. They're just confused, albeit shapely, bags of hormones. But remember kids, the lowest level of hell is reserved for fat girls. Joel

Could you do that? Could I do that? Would the overwhelming death rate prevent me from trying to increase my family against all odds? I severely doubt it. Poverty is all they know, they were brought into the same world, and they see nothing wrong with it. WE cannot understand fully given the luxury we enjoy. They will have come from a family where many of their siblings did not make it to adulthood, and will have accepted that many of their own children may not make it. It is different to our life, but can you not just be happy that you can live in such assurance of life? Yes, 50% of their offspring may not survive into adulthood, but 50% may survive to produce their own children in years to come. Hope springs eternal in the human breast (forget who said that but it is pretty applicable here.)This hope gives humans such amazing natural resiliance to hardship. And furthermore, this hope is not easily quashed, especially in those that have been raised on such stony ground. If past people in this country had not has such hope in a better future, you would not sit comfortable in your warm house now. So none of us should have children on that basis. A child is going to grow into an adult, and at some point in that they will undoubtedly die, and before that inevitable death they will know the equally inevitable suffering. Therefore it is wrong to bring anyone into this world. Joel

Touch choice, great sports, great nightlife and general good fun, or staying at home with a computer. Shit I'm jealous of Jon. Skiing beats snowboarding hands down, so much more graceful.:P And I'm shit at snowboarding, it just ends up hurting my coxxyx lots! :P As for the Pro graphic designer, have you thought about how hard and competitive the field is and the sheer amount of very talented people doing it? Not to mention the fact that most of these have done A level graphics, or even do it at Uni. Shit, I have done A-level graphic design and I'm bonk! Enjoy the skiing Joe. Joel

I would love one and I would love to go. But I am adventurous training in France:( Joel

I am a true Mavic Devotee™. I refuse to buy an expensive rim that is not as strong as the lighter, stronger and cheaper Mavics! Even though I now have a Koxx LevelBoss. Which is causing some difficulty. :'( Joel
