Not technically true; a more correct statement would be "British people have a negative view of their Government, no matter who is in power" For example, when Blair first became PM, the majority didnt hate the govt. they merely thought "Hm, don't think much of 'im..."

About 5% of people have the jaw space to accommodate wisdom teeth.

I hope to GOD I'm in that 5%, but then, most other people who haven't had theirs out yet would hope the same thing!

1DeadlySAMURAI · « **Reply #2016 on:** March 26, 2011, 03:32:54 PM »

Guessing I'm one of them. My wisdom teeth never bothered me.

Yep, I'm pro nuke!
