IIRC, the exam is covered by the government regulated Health Plan (or it is in Ontario*), the price of the actual glasses, frame and all, can vary. What this guy did, was give eye examinations (which he is not licensed to do), didn't give the right prescription and, he didn't provide the...

Well, to be fair it isn't really his fault. I mean, Apple and Sony have shown that consumers want cheap and, quality doesn't matter. Just because he his trying to get a lead on a new market (or idea), does it mean that he, solely, should be blamed for the downturn in quality. I think...

What is your opinion on Bleach? It has been airing here, but I was wondering if my friend has it right. Do you find the following true (this is from my friend): 1. The stories at the beginning were too one-offish 2. The middle is/was very good 3. Now that the anime has caught up and gone...

I believe the point is, that many people believe that 2% Fat in Milk is only 2% Milk and 98% whatever else; where as whole milk is 4% Fat in Milk and therefore 2% milk is only half the fat as whole milk. NOT 98% less. For those that are connfused check out the wikipedia link on Milk...

I am unsure if you can do this with a cell....But here it comes anyway... Give them a fake name and tell them to still bill you. I did this with my family's landline... Wait a second I forgot the most logical question: what kind of calls are these? Are they attempting to sell you...

I still remember (at the right age of course, 17) being told I did not have to wait till my perverted mind took advantage of bed/pillow/etc. Of course this brought on odd looks and odd conversations. (That, of course, happened with both guys and girls.)... "Why do I need a video?" "Wait, do...

Just to further clarify my stance: It doesn't even look like the kid got hurt... The person in the suit COULD have hurt the kid, but gave him a tap instead. The person likely could have hurt him, if that was the intent, because he more than likely is very fit. For example if I rent a...

I would definitely say it was not a hard punch, and, yes, it looks like he is apologizing, or saying something to the kid at the end. I mean, for some teenager who knows it isn't real, he sure is screwing about trying to ruin the younger kids time. And, how did this come about, you may ask...

I thought of other movies which I would put in the same group as Crank, and I remembered a quote from a certain review: "The Last Boy Scout is a guilty pleasure by any standard, but I 've seen plenty of guilt-free movies lately that aren't this much fun." -Owen Gleiberman That is what I...

Oh, I know it isn't the best movie ever made but it is a fun "turn brain off" movie. I mean, the movie didn't change my view on anything, and yet it was fun. Than again, I knew going in that an action movie really should not be compared to things like the films of Kurosawa, Fellini, Bergman...

I thought this was a great action flick. It is also very fast, but the quickness makes sense once you understand the main character does not have much time. Anyway, for me, it was WAY better than Transporter 2. It may not be something I'd buy but if I could get a number of friends interested...

The point COULD be made that not all Mayans knew what an eclipse was... I mean, those in charge could have known what was coming and hoped that things were going to change....remember that in all points of history there are always people in charge who do not want to lose power; it is easier...

Also true. Maybe we should just stop posting and realize that there is no simple answer and only many differing views? -Eric

To the first part HA. To the second part they probably count all influences. Whether it be lack of sleep, on the cell phone, drunk, talking to another passenger, shaving, eating, pleasuring yourself, someone else pleasuring you, groovin' to the music and the most deadly one of them all...

Yeah, but if you are under the legal limit and driving erratically, it does not mean you are allowed to drive erratically. Besides, if I remember correctly it has been proven that someone can be affected by alcohol and still be under the legal amount; as well, someone can be over the limit...
