Actually I've heard the PTSD can be even worse - the human brain is apparently not that well suited to killing people 8-to-5 and then going home to the wife and kids who can't relate at all.
I was = past
I am = present
I will be = future
but you've never needed
I have been = perfect
I was being = imperfect
I had been = pluperfect
Pretty much all languages express the same tenses, it just depends on how.
It is far from that simple. English does not have a future tense. There are many different constructions for talking about the future, with various nuances of meaning.
For example, you can say...
I will fly to America
I'm going to fly to America
I'm flying to America next week
There are at least 12 different future constructions in common use in English, of which the above are just the most frequently used.
Every language has its own quirks.
Some languages don't bother with tenses at all.
Learning to appreciate that there is more than one way of doing things broadens the mind.
Not a statistically significant sample, but in my experience, women who care about and enjoy food are the ones who also enjoy sex. The ones who can't be bothered to cook are also lousy in bed.
That would explain why I got a dildo, two pounds of Kona coffee, a Mickey Mouse Ears hat and the third season of My Little Pony in the mail last week...
OK, so now just incorporate this fix into a shrink-wrap version and launch it under the name of "Windows 9". I'm pretty sure it would outsell Windows 8 comfortably.
I'm not sure where these polite Asian countries are that you are referring to, unless possibly you mean Japan. Certainly in China people have no qualms about talking on their phone anywhere, even in the middle of an opera. "Guess where I am. I'm at the opera! Listen!". She seemed quite put out when I glared at her for that. Seriously, most Americans are a picture of self-restraint when it comes to cellphone use compared to almost anywhere in Asia outside of Japan.
What's with all the China-bashing? A nation with 1.35 billion people to feed and clothe has to get it's energy from somewhere. Not to mention all the products they are manufacturing for you in the West.
If we let the"OMG we need to get off this rock" people get off this rock we have it a bit quieter here and can start thinking about real solutions to our overpopulation problem.
Maybe that's what the Virgin Galactic program is all about. It's a kind of early prototype of the Golgafrincham "B" Ark.

The carpal tunnel syndrome is a real bummer too.
In the ancient world, Greek athletes competed naked, and rubbed with a layer of olive oil.
I advocate this as the rule for all modern Olympians.

My sheep clued me in that those stories they tell on Slashdot about girlfriends are strictly for the benefit of credulous basement-dwellers.

That's because Liberia, Burma and the United States are leaders of the World.
Strange how I never see any Liberians or Burmese getting involved in these threads about measuring units.
