Sense of entitlement much?

Posted on November 19, 2005 by Bob

Colin, our site’s tech guy, points this one out: a woman calls 911 because her onion rings are cold.

I could follow this, maybe, if "onion rings" were a slang term for some vital bit of anatomy, and they had been cold for a while, and ordinary first aid was no help.

You realize, her vote counts for as much as yours does.

This explains a lot I suppose.

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
