When is comes to consumer things,

prices >>> morals

@Axtremus

1. Nope, that is how it is served. Other restaurants here do include a sauce. This one is actually calls themselves a "Singapore Chicken Ric" restaurant. (See pic below). I cannot remember if when I was in Singapore if they served with a sauce or not.

2. Sometimes with some skin, but usually very little.

@Mik @Jolly Maybe I was not very clear.

I was not saying that what the coach was doing was right or wrong, just that I would think there was probably some "unseen" or "subtle" pressure to go along with what the coach does.

I believe that kids at that age want to "belong". Of course, not 100% of kids, but the ones that do their own thing are probably not on the football team.

If there were 50 kids on the team, and one of them decides not to participate, I think we would be looked at differently, and not in a positive way.

Part of my thinking is probably cultural. There seems to be more "respect" for teachers etc. in Tiawan than in the US. We can argue if that is good or bad, but that is the way I grew up, and if a similar situation happened in Taiwan, I can almost say for sure that 100% of the students would follow the coach, even if 99% of them were atheist.

Read an article where someone with knowledge of the Russian legal system said that it is probably best that plead guilty. He had a list of reasons why (which I don't remember all of them. LOL)

@George-K Goofy statement by her about too many people. I only did one long distance trip by Amtrak and that was in a sleeper car (thanks again George for all of your advice and help on that trip!!! ) but I do not think that they allow "standers" on the train, right?

And maybe the amount of passengers helped cushion her as she bounced around. LOL

Wow!!! Scary!!

More will be coming but at least got some of it.

@Jolly Maybe banks are different, but others ones don't have much affect.

Both those are pretty amazing

Interesting and sad story.

Wonder why the hospital never tried to contact anyone. Or maybe they did contact the husband and he basically ignored them?
