Ironically enough, people didn't actually 'bounce around' so much in the past... I guess I can't say for sure but from my dad's attitude (b. 1946), it seems like most of the people from his era had more or less stable careers... there wasn't so much 'temporary' work available. Even now a lot of...

Keep saying 'prick'-- it makes you more right.

LOL, yes looking up a word in the dictionary is 'intellectualizing'.

From merriam-webster.com: a : a blustering browbeating person; especially : one habitually cruel to others who are weaker If you want to change the meaning of the word, maybe you should contact the dictionary people. Also, muir understands my intent... we've had arguments across many...

Says the forum's number one bully and initiator of drama (and the number two as well). It's only bullying if the person is weaker than you-- which is why you target new users and make sure they leave the forum quickly... muir is established and we have a rapport. There's a difference. Oh...

muir-- You know what's really messed up? DOG is actually GOD spelled backwards.

I think that corporatization is probably a big part of why there isn't as much room for entrepreneurs-- the opportunities just aren't there and if you have an idea it's probably too easy to just sell it to someone else. Small businesses have a hard time competing with the huge chain stores--...

^4 litres?! Wow. I'd say around 2 litres of just water. I also have smoothies for breakfast.

$16/hour really isn't a lot of money considering how much you've invested in your degree… it's enough to support yourself and that's about it. I don't know how anyone could possibly think that that's a decent salary. It's horrible how good people can't get jobs nowadays--for a lot of fields...

I've seen a lot of zombie movies.

Fascist societies made plenty of progress-- rocket science was basically invented in Nazi Germany... and the US granted amnesty to one of the worst war criminals Japan has ever seen because of the enormous amount of medical and biological warfare information that they were given in exchange. I...

They're jeopardizing the entire planet so that they can easily extract oil from the ice caps? That is absolutely ridiculous. And the carbon tax is mostly going to affect factories-- it's not about just gouging the public (power probably will go up in price), it's also about gouging the...

Apparently they've got 78,000 people already signed up for consideration. And a lot of them seem to be young. I honestly have to wonder if they have actually read anything about what Mars is like, or even seen a single photo. Don't get me wrong, if they actually make it that far in the...

Yes, this... and I completely agree that the media has framed this story as persecution to spark outrage (as usual). Having sex is one thing, living together in a state-controlled home is one thing, but if they're mentally challenged to the point where they can't manage money or communicate...

That is frustrating... but that isn't really a question of monogamy, more like whether or not the two people involved are as compatible as they'd like to be. I suppose that open relationships are always a possibility in that event, but I can't see it working out so well, especially when the only...
