I'm in favor of slashing all government spending down to the bare minimums in every department, eliminating all entitlements and subsidies, having everyone pay a flat 3% income tax with no deductions or reductions and many more things you probably would call extreme. Government is a necessary evil for the viability of society as a whole, but should not be anywhere near the growing monstrosity we have in the U.S.
Our 2 party system does play heavily into the "lesser of two evils" mentality. That makes people vote for the guy closest to their view point who is likely to win and not someone who they fully agree with. Personally, I don't fall for this trap and end up "wasting my vote" by placing it for Libertarian candidates. Yes, they often have their own form of crazy. But, it's closer to what I'd like to see represented.
So much stereotyping . . . You're hurting my brain. My spouse, several of my family members and I are counterpoints to your broad brush. Well educated, fiscal conservatives who "deal in facts" every day. We're not alone or even a small minority of the conservative population as a whole. You're letting media propagated images color your perception of the group as a whole. The religious right does not equate to the majority of conservatives or even Republicans. Please stop propagating that image and get your own facts straight.
My child is in the 6th grade. His science curriculum is currently covering the scientific method in depth. So, "they" would have to have stopped learning in the 5th grade.
I'm not sure about how you were raised. But, I was taught to be kind, respectful and accommodating to women far above and beyond the courtesies you would extend to a man. This mode of operation when interacting with females means they get their side of an issue weighted more heavily than the man on the other side. It's not always fair, but it should be taken into account when trying to understand the situation. And, in my opinion, that is why the distinction was mentioned.

I guess I'm lucky. They don't do that here and any manager who does would be out on their keyster in short order. We have project plans, documented requirements and a change control process as well as using an issue tracking system that is viewable by all and reported on to management. The tools facilitate good development practices and the opportunity for shining or failing in a very visible manner which drives more people to shine.
The horror stories I read about remind me that I am blessed.
Ewww!
There's also the large market for prescription opiate addicts who need a source for their pills.
With SPEKZ on you can't look away when they display snow crash to you.

I've heard some pretty lewd words in my time. Most of them were flowing from the mouths of military comrades.
The word you're looking for is "dilute", the act of dilution. Words can't think so it would be difficult to "delude" them as I don't think they can have delusions.
Have the docs check your perv radar. You let the weirdo get too close and comfortable. Hope your OK from both that incident and your eyes.
PvP at TV watching distance can cause eye strain or just general fail. Accuracy and timing count and introducing a longer focal length and more in your field of vision isn't conducive to PvP success. I was offering a suggestion to his problem with using a touchpad for mouse control in PvP.
