    I think most people are not okay with shoes on the furniture, but dang, those must be some dirt-caked shoes if they are leaving all that dirt all over the place. I think you should take Scruffy up on his offer!
    you misunderstood. I'm saying that if there is dirt in my house from someone's shoes, then me walking around my house barefoot or in socks will track that dirt elsewhere; the couch, my bed, etc. 
    I understood.
    .... I think I am taking this conversation a lot less seriously than you are. ;)
    you obviously misunderstood if you thought I was talking about shoes on the furniture. and I stated pretty clearly earlier how silly this discussion is. it's a fun and interesting conversation, as I have honestly never heard of people tramping around someone's house with their shoes on. 
    I didn't think you were talking about shoes on the furniture. I was saying that most people are not okay with shoes on the furniture because you mentioned crap getting on the furniture, that's all.

    Goat jizz!  :lol:

    Seriously though, if we're going to talk about pizza and show photos, we need something good like what Frankie Johnny & Luigi serve up:

    Weird seeing Swedish police with automatic weapons. 



    Made me think of this thread.

    Some statistics:



    per million residents.

    In the US, only eight states require verbal warnings (when possible), while warning and leg shots are typically prohibited. In stark contrast, Finland and Norway require that police obtain permission from a superior officer, whenever possible, before shooting anyone.

    Not only do centralized standards in Europe make it easier to restrict police behavior, but centralized training centers efficiently teach police officers how to avoid using deadly weapons.

    The Netherlands, Norway and Finland, for example, require police to attend a national academy – a college for cops – for three years. In Norway, over 5,000 applicants recently competed for the 700 annual spots.

    Three years affords police ample time to learn to better understand, communicate with and calm distraught individuals. By contrast, in 2006, US police academies provided an average of 19 weeks of classroom instruction.

    Spiritual, just admit it. You love Americans. That is all this thread is about--one big love letter from S_C to Americans.

    Those poor kids in the front row. Eesh. Corn chips and plantar warts is a tough combo to deal with.
