  1. Re:USA vs Europe on US Life Expectancy May Have Peaked · · Score: 2, Informative

    mod parent "comforting perhaps but entirely untrue"

    Read the supposed source... which is a true Dilbert-esk powerpoint.

    I love the bit where the US is an "outlier on spending", but only until you turn the stats into "semi-log[arithmic]". LOL.

    The lies told about the US healthcare system are absurd. Particularly the recent comparison of the US and UK systems. I would rather be wheeled into a UK hospital after a car crash than walk into a US hospital with a ripped fingernail.

    (To quote Blackadder). How much negative feedback does it take to change before you remove this plonkers ability to put stuff on the front page. Alternatively, can you enable the following option www.slashdot.com/index.html?samzenpus=false BTW you can't remove idle from the front page on the mobile version.

    Who the fuck cares what Taiwan thinks of Tibet

    Yeah, who gives a fuck about Tibet anyway?

    Until Bush decides Al-Qaeda's in there, or there's WMD, or they find Oil, Tibet will rank with Sierra Leone, Darfur, Zimbabwe and, that den of human rights abuse South Georgia in US foreign policy priorities.

    Seems to me the original poster has done their bit for the Tibetan cause today just my posting on /.

    BTW that's South Georgia, with the penguins. Not Georgia, with the KKK.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Given the other replies to this post, how on earth does it still Score 4?

    And modded as "Funny" - is that as in Homer "Funny but Stupid" Simpson?

    Running away isn't going to fix anything. You should have given your original presentation and added a slide to the end saying that if the trainees have any questions, please see the person who made the process changes.

    Exactly. In fact the person who made the process changes should have provided (and probably did) instructions on the revised procedures to all employees, not just new starts.

    Just not turning up is equivalent to locking yourself in the toilets for the duration of the meeting.
