If they complained about the government, etc... they would

[quote user="symmes"] I learned the best way to close a circular argument (from having teenagers past and present) is to find an example that shows the futility of continuing. See if you can spot the irony here.... Rolls Royce [/quote] It was I that detailed what this article confirms in numerous lengthy posts much earlier on in this thread

[quote user="moxxey"] But that will change. It's not our "work ethic" that's at fault, it's because we all believe we're better than working in a factory.

[quote user="bayerische"] I haven't even heard the BS8. I haven't set foot in a B&O store for over a year. And the BS8 isn't for me. Would be interesting to hear it though. Maybe I should go for a demo... [/quote] Yes. Same with me. Not interested myself in ipod dock or anything of that kind, due to the fact I dont own any
