Because a) India isn't the third largest economy in the world, you just made that up, and b) it's about 120th in PPP GDP, and c) you have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't think it is, I've got one who is very talented with a spear and might one day want to be a princess - but if she was, it would be in order to assassinate the prince, and take over the Kingdom by stealth. And another who worries about breaking nails and having hair extensions.

I think you get what you're given, and there's no changing it.

110 + 1 pending.

It's a funny old world, isn't it. Any other site, I'm swearing at the ads, and blocking most of them for being annoying pieces of crap.

A clixcent is a cent. It goes directly to your normal balance. It's called a clixcent because some offerwalls are douchy, and expect you to use an internal currency rather than a real currency,

Sometimes you can fiddle with it - making the window bigger often makes the video actually work. But this time, if you look at the console, there isn't an ad there at all. Since they know what the problem is, it would be kinda nice to at least display it in the player, or call me old fashioned, validate it before sending it out, but hey, what do I know.

Ron Fisher kinda already answered it if you're asking the population as a whole. Parental investment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can't ask people to choose between their kids. That's messed up, even for you.

Well, not just after they're born, obviously - the nine months prior, too.

It's true that girls become bitch trolls from hell when they're teens, but boys become amoral troglodytes too, so take your pick.

Personally, I think it doesn't make much difference either way, but abortion should be legal for at least the first 28 years.

Or if you can't handle French, you might enjoy this instead:

You were better off not knowing.

I haven't watched any good TV, but I have been having some good - well, weird, not so much good - dreams about Shabnam from Eastenders. Poor sod, she might be an imaginary person from a fictional TV program, but still, poor sod. She needs somebody to look out for her, and it can't be me, because I'm only dreaming, and it can't be anyone else either, because she isn't real.

Even when I had money, we went backpacking. If you do it any other way, you're not travelling at all, you're being a tourist. There's a huge difference between being a traveller and being a tourist, and being the type of tourist who goes to the kind of places they take the tourists who say they don't want to be tourists is still being a tourist.

You have to listen to this one with your headphones on, because while it's a good song, it's also somewhat embarrassing if anyone knows what it's from, so listen to it, but do so secretly.

Quote:If I'm pushed, I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks, I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history, I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly, that's all.

And here's me thinking happiness is a cigar called Hamlet.

I'd like to have money, so I could have people beg me to give them some, and reject them one by one.

But, I don't need real money to do that. If I vehemently deny I'm a millionaire, everyone will assume I am a millionaire, and they'll start begging. Since I was going to reject them anyway, it'll still work out just fine.
