Why the hell is there an American flag for English. Spanish has a Spanish flag, Italian an Italian flag, French a French flag, German a German flag, and English an American flag. One of these things is not like the others.

Germans sound like robots, but that's ok, that's kind of what they are anyway. I quite like it. I could listen to Italian ladies talk all day. As long as it's Italian italian, not guido Italian. Japanese always sounds really nice too....by far and away the nicest sounding Asian language.
I hate any sort of throaty language....ie. Hebrew sounds awful. Dutch too. Cantonese always seems to sound angry. I like Spanish, but hate it when spanish-speaking people over emphasize Spanish words....ie, they are talking normal english and then all of a sudden they bust out some over-pronounced spanish word.
I hate dogs! The smaller they get the bigger my distaste grows.
People that treat the dogs like people are sad and pathetic. Get a real kid you scared losers.
I love laughing at people walking their dogs at 6am in the pouring rain and think of them having to bring in that wet stinky dog inside while my kids peacefully sleep.
I think the Flames have a legit shot at winning the division this year.

Hebrew is bad, very flemmy and they always sound angry. I don't care for most Middle Eastern languges. I don't mind Russian or Spanish. I agree that Japanese seems to be the Asian language with the most flow to it.
As far as accents go, Irish and Scottish are the best.
My unpopular opinion...servers should be taxed on the tips they make.
Yes I understand this would be difficult to do.
Ive seen servers walk out with 180 to 300 a night. That should be taxed just like the rest of us.
Everyone I know of that works a job that receives tips, 10% of overall sales are automatically declared on tax paperwork, therefore they are declaring tips and they are paying taxes on them. If someone is regularly, year to year, only declaring their salary and zero tips, I'd imagine an audit would come around pretty damn fast.

Okay, so people complain about having to tip when getting crappy service. Here's the thing, with the tipping system, at least your server has to attempt to make you happy. If they're making a guaranteed rate, they can ignore you the entire meal and it doesn't affect them at all.
I'm far from wealthy, but if I can manage 20% tips on everything, so can everyone else. And again, if you can't--make your own food at home or get fast food. No one is forcing you to eat at a restaurant with a server.

I noticed these places are asking for tip these days too...

Dave Grohl is the most overrated musician of the last 20 years and it’s sad that the abortion that is Foo Fighters passes as edgy post-grunge rock.
While I do not support the physical abuse of children, the threat of it and it being occasionally administered (i.e. spanking/soap in mouth) really keep me in check as a kid. I’d go as far to say that I’m a better, more functional person today because of it.

Transformers suck. Adults should not like them. I doubt there is any story that could be made that would make the Transformers make sense. It’s a line of kids toys, no amount of nostalgia will ever make them cool to grown-ups. Your childhood is cool, Transformers aren’t.

I used to be against the Kirpan, before I realized it was a ceremonial butter knife. I have no problems with bringing a ceremonial butter knife into a courtroom, or anywhere, really.

Japanese and Korean cars are poorly styled, soulless appliances.
Thats a pretty broad statement.
RX-7 and 8, All the Mazdaspeed cars, any Acura with sh-awd, WRX, STi, Legacy GT, 370Z, Genesis Coupe, G37, Evo... All of those cars have more soul then any American or German car.
American cars are by far the worst looking as well.
