Indeed, quite political.

You all should visit New York sometime.

Most people just aren’t all that crude.

And they are polite.....unless somebody’s late for work, and they are being blocked from getting on a train.

Oh, sure, I'd love to!
And finally the US visa policy for Poland improved :)

It means that if someone has something to complain about, they should work to fix the matter instead of complaining and expecting others to do something.

All too often, the helping hands some have been begging for can be found at the ends of their own two arms.

True. Of course, there's nothing wrong with asking for help if you've already tried to handle the specific problem on your own and realized you can't do it alone.

Of course, one should feel free to ask for help.

But people have to help those helping them....by helping themselves, too.

What if... you were more likely to die when you needed CPR, because women who knew how are too afraid to touch your chest area, and would rather leave you to die than risk embarrassment or be accused of sexual assault?

What if... women online not only dismissed you as being a "true gamer" because you're a man, but would send you rape and death threats, especially if you proved to them you are actually good at "hardcore" games?

What if... you couldn't leave your own house because you didn't have a women to escort you, and you could be stuck there for days alone and had to risk getting arrested for going somewhere without a woman because you were literally starving to death or needed medical attention?

What if... you were killed after you were born because you live in a culture where girls are the preferable gender?
