Typical Zed, but reading Max's email I have to agree it's quite offensive.

"... the Israeli method of doing airport screening is to be admired" Well that depends on who you ask. Palestinians or even people with distant Arab roots who are subject to racial…

Putting aside the condescending tone of the article, the actual argument represents the typical Israeli knee-jerk reaction to terrorism, and the absolutely myopic, black-and-white,…

I believe it's the same in every field of work. Even working in the garden or doing some fixing around the house. I'm now approaching 40 and find myself much more physically able t…

Maybe sickness is socialist, but medicine is not...

I had a lasik surgery about 12 years ago. First I had to undergo an eye examination, then a few weeks later I came in for the surgery, which took I guess no more than 15 minutes. T…

As mentioned above, two factor authentication.
