message: John_Roberts_%28television_reporter%29 claimed that Sonny Bono's "Pammy%27s on a Bummer" is the worst song ever.  He said this unprompted, though somewhat inspired by Betty Nguyen's description of her show, tomorrow {Saturday}, & Sunday, today being Friday the twenty-second, where this weekend they will list several of what cnn believes are the worst Christmas songs.
Thank You.

message: I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that when any naturalized citizen has gone through the naturalization oath and certification, as a matter of United States law, we are only U.S. citizens. I think that when, as Canadian-Americans, we choose to become naturalized U.S. citizens, make no mistake: we play for Team U.S.A.
:I don't know what the "we" business has to do with the price of eggs in China, nor "Team" anything, etc. Ali Velshi is a naturalized Canadian citizen, a naturalized American citizen, as well as having a Kenyan trunk in the ground, and Indian roots (he'll call himself Canadian at the drop of a hat, if the context calls for it). Elon Musk is African, Canadian, and American. Some people are just all over the map, and there's no pinning them down somewhere to suit anyone's fancy. If there's any reference that Roberts has renounced Canadian citizenship that's the sort of documentation that is called for; let's have it.
:As for the "foregone conclusion"... WUT. There is no such entailment:

message: There have been several studies that contradict this. The amount of time a user is willing to wait is inversely proportional to the importance that the user places on the transactions. The last study I saw was:

Talk:Swedish cuisine

message: "Historically, in the far north, meats such as reindeer, and other (semi-)game dishes were eaten, some of which have their roots in the Sami culture, while fresh vegetables have played a larger role in the South. Many traditional dishes employ simple, contrasting flavours, such as the traditional dish of meatballs and brown cream sauce with tart, pungent lingonberry jam (slightly similar in taste to cranberry sauce)." - requires citation
"Swedes have traditionally been very open to foreign influences, ranging from French cuisine during the 17th and 18th centuries, to the sushi and caffé latte of today." - This just sounds silly in general and sounds like something you'd read in a guide for tourists in Sweden. It is unnecessary to mention both sushi and caffé latte, first because it is redundant but most importantly because there is nothing to indicate that Swedes are particularly fond of caffé latte and sushi in comparison to other foreign influences (which would arguably be more relevant) such as kebabpizza or perhaps Swedish "tacos". 
"Swedes have traditionally been very open to foreign influences" is also redundant as its just some truism that provides nothing new. This can be said about nearly any country's cuisine on the planet – that's how food develops over time... Also, [citation needed].
I'm not entirely sure how the rules work on Wikipedia so I'll just leave my thoughts here and let someone handle the rest. 115.160.184.164 (talk) 17:29, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Traditionally it was more of a loaf of bread where the liquids where replaced with blood making the bread black. It was eaten as normal bread until it became stale, then what was left was boiled and served with fried pork, lingonberries and white gravy. You can still buy such loafs, but the modern "tunnbröd" variant is more popular and has a longer shelf life... 92.35.31.116 (talk) 19:50, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Adding a link

message: I was reading this article and noticed that there is no mention of the popular belief in Utah that the Church Office Building is the tallest in the state of Utah, and the government, under influence of the Church, has mandated that no structure may be taller. This is obviously a myth; the Wells Fargo Center is taller than the Church Office Building and therefore such a legislature cannot exist.
I believe this information would be a good addition to the article, as it would clear up a misconception about the LDS Church. Are there any ideas about what such a section would be called, or any sources that could be used to write it? -Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 22:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

message: If I remember correctly: In the process of developing Microsofts variant of Visual Basic they had a problem making it compatible with existing implementations due to a (as I remember it) keyword and a patent. Microsoft could not make the languages compatible. I am sure someone knows more about it, and can correct my wrongs. I think it is something similar we see with this patent. Here Microsoft is trying to protect their Common Language Runtime (CLR) (or C++ .NET) from being copied. That no one should be able to make a system compatible to the .NET C++ version of Microsoft. That's at least my theory.

I tried to make it as easy as possible to understand and as somewhat of an introduction to the matter. "Radiometric dating" is more for those who already understand the topic and need further reading, in my opinion. Radiogeology is a broader topic than radiometric dating, and thus, the radiogeology page serves to direct readers to other pages--one of which may be the article on radiometric dating. --Primetime 02:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
