Wow, some of you commenters are AWFUL! See- SOME of you. Not ALL commenters. Because you're responsible for your own behavior, not that of all other posters.
BlueSue, you have an issue with black women drinking Riesling? Seriously? How is preference for German wine related to race? It's unfortunate you witnessed fights, but you were not "bitten by dogs" for 6 years. It's notes like fussing about wine choices that reveals your racism.
As people have noted, lots of different types of people are rude customers- old people, young people, rich people, poor people, city people, farm people, large groups, single diners. What do we learn from this? NO particular characteristic is associated with being a poor customer, so if you want to earn tips, treat EVERYONE well! You're in the service industry, that's your job! If you think you're seeing a 'pattern', you're not, because your own experience disproves it!
I love to dine out, and I've had every kind of server imaginable. Guess what- the ones who offer me nicer service get a larger tip.

Wow. That would have scared the sh*t out of me as a small child. I bet every kid on that block will be well-behaved until the holidays!

It's a "private" bus as in "private company with a public contract, to serve the public".
Therefore, outta my way when I take a seat in the first row. "Separate but equal" is not an option.

James Moore- You do realize people lie, frequently and continuously, about their sexual histories to donate blood, right? And it does make a difference whether you using, say, B12 injections for with a sterilized needle and having male-to-male sexual contact with a person who has tested negative for HIV or injecting heroin in an alley and having male-to-female contact with a sex worker?
The ban is discriminatory because it presumes that ANY male-to-male homosexual contact is inherently more dangerous than SOME TYPES of heterosexual contact.

The whole thing is silly.
Hundreds (if not thousands) of HIV-neg men who have sex with men donate every year by, you know, lying. Because they know they don't have HIV, and they know it's silly to refrain from donating lifesaving biological matter because of homophobia. I know some of them. As an HIV-neg person who cannot donate blood due to a genetic immune disorder, I would be perfectly happy to accept blood from MSMs.
The regulations make sense if you may have contracted a disease of which you are unaware, as from foreign travel. But you may have been a virgin until marriage, and your cheatin' spouse has been having unprotected sex behind your back, and you're happily donating blood with no knowledge of the risk you're conferring on others. That's why it's tested anyway!
Lift the ban or only accept blood from Vestal Virgins, I say.

Vikya- I'm sure he has a sighted buddy and dive leader with him to stop him from accidentally whacking a coral reef.
I am interested to know how he measures his oxygen, whether a buddy can signal him if the buddy is in distress, and how he assembles his gear. And how he communicates with other divers underwater. I've been NAUI certified for ten years, I think it's wonderful that the sport is expanding to include more prospective divers.

I think the neighbors would not be happy with the bathroom situation of a transparent house.
