As a Harvard graduate, I wish more people wouldn't go to college. Things are outrageously competitive among the motivated.
As an adjunct professor, I wish more people wouldn't go to college. There are way too many kids in college that clearly shouldn't be there.

It's a witch!

I don't do any illegal drugs, I've never smoked marijuana or cigarettes, but I do use Ritalin both for stress and when I need to be productive. There aren't any side effects unless you abuse it. Frankly, it's a drug I'd like to see "abused" more, considering it's effects are essentially the opposite of marijuana's, it makes you productive and want to work!!!

Your credentials as an evolutionary biologist are beyond question, but with so many renowned scholars that have PhDs in religion, including atheists, why should anyone listen to to what you say about religion any more than they should listen to what someone with a PhD in religion has to say about evolutionary biology?

how do planets orbit binary star systems? I would think two stars would give the planets erratic orbits that would either send them into one of the suns or shoot them into space.

Aren't these already in every US passport anyway?

I used to be against using these pharmaceuticals to enhance academic performance until I was prescribed them myself. To my amazement THEY WORK! There are no side effects that we know of unless you abuse them.

So why not give them to anyone that wants to do better in school?

The United States has sovereignty over asteroids now?

as in really old, wtf

At the risk of beating a dead horse... I'd like to share my experience with beating these systems. I'm personally much more interested in Boston's integration of Israeli style interview tactics. I lived in the Middle East for a couple years and went through the borders on an almost daily basis, and several times through the Tel Aviv airport (Israel's only international airport). Israel doesn't use anything resembling our body scanners, and instead relies on brief interviews of every person flying to determine what additional screening will be necessary (all the way up to strip searching), supplemented with American bomb sniffing machines. Their security works. Were it not for the fact that I went through it so often, I wouldn't have been able to beat it.

You could imagine my surprise when on one of my most recent flights to/from (I can't remember which way) Boston I was treated to such an interview. I was caught off guard, but immediately recognized it as the identical setup. I quickly put on my "set off no alarms" interview demeanor and made it through fine. Frankly I hope this catches on. I would like to think of myself as something of a "getting through borders" professional, I've gotten through Israeli and American airports and onto planes with everything from a can of pepper spray to a live scorpion. You can scan my body (though I always opt out) and my bags all day, but sit me down for an interview and after long enough even the best person will crack if they are hiding something.

no not that, google enters politics with a polling locator!

'There's as much porn there as anyone would need, I'd imagine.'

This man needs a bigger imagination!

I'm pretty sure this premise undergirds the entirety of the Japanese pornography industry.
