Robotic Fuel Arm

A robotic arm refuels while motorists stay in their cars. The robot recognizes the type of car by scanning an affixed sticker and knows exactly where to find the filler cap and what fuel the car takes. Hollands

Hmm..

I wonder what it will do If i dont open the filler cap from inside of the car..

 How does it know if I want regular or premium...  I like the concept, since I hate pumping gas.  Locally, we have a few gas stations that actually have real people who pump your gas....that´s where all of us lazy people go..

This woman has never worked and her family are also heading in that direction.  This make me seeth!!!! (angry smilie)  There is always an excuse............... how about get off your lazy **** 

 Yes, I know someone like that. She was a leech when she was in school. You know, you go out and the other never has the money to pay the bill, but they order generous portions for themselves. As things developed, she never had a job. Now she gets income from the gov. She has medical, dental, subsidized housing. It annoys me and others who know her a great deal.

Then, I have another friiend who has worked all her life, she recently had brain cancer and is in a wheelchair. She has tried to get a job, but she really can´t work. She applied for disability, but was turned down! She had to get a lawyer to fight for her benefits, which she paid into for years.

I agree, there are people who make the "system" so unfair.  I am proud that we have such a system, but people abuse it so badly.

It seems so unfair when you have to work so hard just to pay bills, and the only way you can get the things you want is to save money, while there are people lying about disabilities and have never worked in their lives, who get these things instantly.

I know of a family whose 3 children ALL said they had psychological problems, and were allowed to make their boyfriends their offical "carers" - they get free housing, car, bills paid - everything, plus the boyfriend gets a wage as a carer.   They freely admit to everyone that they are just cheating the system.

I moved house recently and noticed my neighbours lawn was always uncut and messy.  The next time I went to cut mine, I offered to cut theirs, and did so every time after that.  After a few months I learned that none of the family work, the eldest son could easily cut it and is "unemployed", the father is classed as disabled because of "back problems" but sits at a computer all day and night playing games (probably the worst thing you can do for a bad back!) and they had a nice new kitchen delivered and fitted for free a few weeks ago.

Needless to say, I stopped cutting their grass!

 I agree with you and am proud we have a system to help those who need it. It would be nice if we could figure out a way to stop the abuse. I really think there is much less of that than some think. I know another man who couldn´t get his disability, he died waiting.

While I do get annoyed with my "friend" who gets subsidized housing, medical care and all. I would not want to be in her place.

I think the constant being on the dole so to speak has taken a toll on her capabilities. She doesn´t think she can do anything. IOW, she is psychologically and emotionally stunted.

I have known others who got "help", used it well and are now contributing members of society.

Sex Trips for Girls

I am watching this on Channel 4 right now!  Women going to the Domincan Republic to find young men!

Not sure what to make of it, the women really look their age and the men look like young boys!

Joanne, 54, has spent £5,000 in a year on holidays to see her 34-year-old resort entertainer boyfriend, Spaghetti, who admits to camera he has more than one girlfriend. Although the resort officially frowns upon its staff romancing tourists, they know love-struck women will keep returning, bumping up profits.

Companies using duduism to bump up profits.....sex sells...it seems

This is terrible, tragic news for our Turkish dudus

Too much competition....

 Seriously???  Spaghetti???  His nickname doesn´t bode well for duduism in the DR, so I think Turkish dudu´s will be ok.
