So you're suggesting that a K-12 focus on self-esteem doesn't result in outstanding academic ability?
This just in: difficult things are hard, and most people can't do them.
Especially those people. Right? You've either missed the point of TFA or you are a racist. Don't feel bad. Not everyone gets it. You're still a very special person, in your own way.
Why do you think people want something that sounds like "real life"?
Wrong question, my friend. People want something that sounds "alive". Let's be clear... I have nothing against electronic music. Some of my favorite pieces have no "real" instruments in them. But I also know that there is no substitute for a well crafted instrument in the hands of a master, and that includes the "vox humana". (Insert rant about Autotune here)
"Sounds just like" never quite does.
a jet craft with wheels isn't impressive, let's see wheel driven vehicle speed record attempts. jet engines are for flying, any other use is stupid
Not quite right. Any wheeled vehicle, that can go that fast, is damned fucking impressive. The powerplant has little to do with it at that point.
You average GOP voter strongly values privacy and will not look kindly at this kind of targeted approach.
Fortunately, your average GOP voter will do what he's told if that will "keep him safe from teh terrorists", so all we have to do is explain that we're seeing to the safety of Americans and their children, and those voters will bend over willingly.
So, rail against the free market if you must, but as far as I'm concerned,,, yeah, I'm good.
Hooray for you. Setting aside, for now, the ridiculously loose definitions of "fiber" being used by the LEC's, your experience is unlike that of the vast majority of ISP customers in the U.S. And if you think that your ISP isn't mining the data that your activity is generating for all it's worth, you are not paying attention.
QFT. Personally, I can add an example of "crazy" which included her living in a fantasy construct, pathologically lying, stealing thousands of dollars from me, faking a pregnancy and abortion (to get more cash from me), eventually getting institutionalized briefly after we broke up, and drunk texting me annually on her mother's death anniversary with passive-aggressive suicide notes (don't respond to those). I eventually changed my phone number I had for 10 years in order to escape.
Listen to the man.
There's a difference between "dating" and "letting the crazy person affect you to the point of theft, personal harm, etc.". Maybe I just have more experience with them and know when to pull out, so to speak. Not that that's a particularly cool badge to have earned, but I have been able to see where things were heading and jumped off the train. Still it was usually worth the ride.
I learned a long time ago that if you go on a date with a woman and she says "I'm crazy", BELIEVE HER. She IS crazy. Even if she's hot...
You say that as if it were a bad thing...
If it works at $15 why wouldn't it work at $100?
Of course, it doesn't work at $15, or any other price. Sure, it helps those who manage to keep their jobs, but everyone else... well... http://reason.com/blog/2014/05...
Thank you, gullible tool, for helping us propagate the message that earning a living wage is bad for workers.
Your friends,

with congress. In fact, it's practically a red herring. The voters are. Do you think if no money was in congress then voters would magically pay attention and vote on rationality?
Educate the voters.
Rubbish. Money and other forms of manipulation have been used to get voters to elect representatives who have clearly not acted in the interests of their electorate. It's going on right now here in TX. Big money is making major races all about guns, abortion, and illegal aliens. None of those issues truly have any appreciable effect on the electorate, and yet they have been made to believe that those are the central issues of the campaign. Nothing, not a single damned thing, of actual substance is discussed in any of the "paid for by..." campaign spots being paid for by those large monied interests. The result, cynical Congressmen/women who don't give a shit about those "central issues" and are free to vote however those who paid to get them elected tell them to.
