    Or if you are going to continue the blackouts then how about having Major League sports tickets in an affordable range. Long gone are the days of most people being able to afford taking the family to a game. Even getting bad tickets I can't see most families spending $500 for a family night out.

    So you crush HP making computers? How many do you ship per day? Do you have custom designed motherboards, or do you use off the shelf models. WHat is your overhead, profit margin?

    Yeah, your not crushing HP, your making boutique computers. You don't compete with HP, hell they don't even know you exist.

    1200 for a timing belt change, you either got ripped off or it broke. If it broke then yes 1200 is ok seeing as how you mave actualy damaged your engine and it need to be tested. For that price you probably had some valve work done.

    No we are just not part of this PC everything has to be equal when in reality its not crowd. For 10's of thousands of years it has been the women's job to bond and care for the children while the men did the job of providing food for the group. It is part of our makeup and it is how we survived. I am not saying that men have no bond with their children just that the paternal bond happens later in life. You will see it happen as your child ages, they start to pull away from mom and try and emulate dad.

    You understand women have been giving birth far longer then the medical profession has been around.

    And yes I have been in the delivery room during birth, I have also had to deal with some of the more horrible aspects of child birth. I am sorry but that does not make either of of us "Qualified" to comment. Unless you have actually studied medicine I would say you are not qualified to comment. But historically women were able, hell at times forced to be back on their feet. Otherwise we would not be here as a species. Just because you decided to impregnate a weak women does not mean your experiences are the norm. Honestly this whole idea that childbirth is hard is a very new idea, under 300 years old, compare that to how long the human race has been around.
