Yeah, say the Paleo diet adds 15 years to your life, you still have to take them at the end...

So, Metro City, the movie version.

That's silly, people lived well into their 40's, 50's, and 60's. Most 60 year old adults are not invalids. Life expectancy of a 20 year old was not vastly different from today, now life expectancy of an infant is another story.

Your lips (keys) to God's ears.

If someone's grabbing images of a person off the web, they can just send one they haven't added to the profile. You would have to ask them to send you a photo of them holding up the front page of today's newspaper I guess. And then look closely for photoshopping. (Or them holding it up over their face! :)

I'd never heard that term, but I did see something on TV years ago about jr high or high screwl age girls playing pretend online with adult men, trying to string them along to get multiple faux romances going on at the same time, to enjoy the attention and for something to do/entertainment and to talk and laugh about with their friends. People are swell.

I would be interested to know what %-age of profiles you think/feel are non-legit.

Oooooh boy.

New Brunswick?

She won. She will now sport a lucrative career as a public... whatever. The narrative has been formed. Political Correctness has no room for objective truth. Just like the crumbling of lies surrounding the Rolling Stone/UVA 'rape', we shouldn't be looking at facts and events. Brianna's feels are more important.

Once again, the most dangerous group to women is formed of other women.

The DMCA was implemented by elected lawmakers.

Those lawmakers have not been removed from office, with new law makers installed with a mandate to remove DMCA.

Therefore, the market has voted (with votes, rather than dollars) for the DMCA.

Shhh.. Talk like that will get the attention of DHS.

We have at least a cultural instinct, possibly a genetic instinct, to think that people who work a lot deserve to have a lot of possessions and status, while people who work a little or don't work at all deserve nothing.

I disagree. We are trained to think that those who have a lot of possessions or a high status do more work then us. This is almost never true. They might not be doing nothing (might), but they aren't working harder then us.

Sometimes you can see this in new wealthy, or newly promoted. They think they should be working harder, so they make a bunch of decisions they don't know anything about and micromanage people around them. They usually learn better after awhile.

If only...
Power will always be attractive. If you are working, you are making decisions that affect people.

100k is well off anywhere in the country. It's enough money that you can choose to live in an expensive area and make do with less. I guarantee there are people in that same area getting by on $8 - $10 / hour.

When i say well off, I mean historically. I'm talking about someone who can afford to buy a new car, take a vacation, and come up with a couple grand if an emergency comes up.
That's out of reach for a wide swath of the "middle class".

Depends on the minivan. Mileage is not worse then CUV's, it's better in most cases. The ones I've been i are much roomier internally and way easier to get in and out of when you have multiple people. CUV's seem like getting a bunch of people in and out is an afterthought, not purpose designed...

I have one that handles like a car and one that handles more like a small truck, with an incredibly tight turn radius.

thus the invention/"work around" of Translit and Volapuk encoding.
