Whales beaching themselves because they are too ill to continue and don't want to be shark food?

maybe you should have just not married at all, or reproduced since your kid will most likely be a sarcastic drain on life that you seem to be, not to mention unable to relate to you or your new trophy wife, as you will have a 30yr age gap... enjoy that chip on your shoulder now because soon you will be dead and your life's pursuits wasted away by your child.

and maybe update your profile since your website says

wow, one of your only 6 comments, 4 of which are vitriolically feminist... making a difference are we?

" I usually only get my guff up a few times a year. It sucks but that is my life and I am to blame for my problems. My only recourse is to work harder at making myself try harder."

You should look at it as a hard problem to solve... i found that when faced with something to figure out and eventually able to solve, problems become fascinating to me, and i think this in general is true for all "geeks".

So when it came to girls i did the same thing.. tried over and over, noting my mistakes and improving on them, to the point where i figured out "charming" and when i want to turn it on, comes quite easily to me... this was very satisfying when i finally figured it out and can be one of the most challenging problems "geeks" have to tackle, 3 phase brushless motors are quite easy by comparison...

so get up your guff, debug your last date and compile the next one until you get your program running so efficiently it spawns it's own code ;)

So im going to throw away my mod point on this point but oh well, i can't believe someone thinks this so i want to get some clarification...

"Just because one set of criminals gets off easier than they should, it does not follow that all other criminals should be treated leniently."

If two groups of "criminals" is judged and sentenced according to the damage and harm they have done, and one of them does less harm/damage that the other, it does not follow that the one who did less harm should have a lesser sentence?

OR

justice equals = all criminals should be punished harshly no matter what the severity of the crime, as long as the% of criminals who receive less harsh punishment is relatively low?

OR

Justice = punishment that is mitigated by influence, money, collusion and corruption.

i'm having a hard time following any of these "logical?" conclusions of your reasoning...

"He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive! "

everywhere that we haven't explored yet? oh ok...

" we're not worthy of another planet to live on until we clean up our collective act and start acting like the responsible, thinking beings that we keep telling ourselves that we are."

hmm, it seems you are unfamiliar with how natural selection works nor the human race, as these are both the principles that are used when discussing the topic you are posting in, maybe you should reflect on this... the point of the "great filter" discussion is not whether a species "deserves" (a highly malleable term as it is dependent on the moral observations of the user) to colonize the known universe, but why it hasn't if there is abundant life. this question has nothing to do with "deserve" and all to do with ability.

i already have no hair due to genetics, so i'm "a-head" of the curve when it comes to fallout i guess. (ugh i'm in pun purgatory)

"because who would attack the network of a HOSPITAL for CHILDREN in Boston?"

yah who would want the names, dates, SSN #s, and all related medical data of patients?!? crazy to think anyone would.. oh wait.

and then of course there are the hippa laws which mandate patient data security... hmm

they mean anonymous as in they only know what sites you visit, what you're interested in, who you are calling, who you receive calls from and how much time you do any of these...anonymous.

" After all, if you are talking to a cop, you are a criminal, they just might not have proven it yet."

if you look at any city's municipal and criminal code you'll quickly see that in fact there are so many laws covering so many different things, that at any time and place we are all guilty of violating one law or another.

ok i get the concept of goatse, but what about the bond that develops between older men in a relaxed atmosphere? Is there anything like that on the internet?

"I'm too young to remember this from firsthand experience -- but initially wasn't cable tv ad free?"

yes it was, except for the network stations that came over cable, but then ads appeared there too in the auspice of "defraying the overall bill for cable" even though the cable rates keep getting higher while the channels you got decreased. then they added crappy channels to keep the "packages" the same size but still decrease the actual content you wanted. I have direct TV and about 30% of the channels that come with my "package" are infomercial channels with no actual programming other than commercials.

i dread the day they can read or broadcast to our minds because you won't get a moment's peace except for "THIS MOMENT OF PEACE BROUGHT TO YOU BY SNACKY CAKES!!!, ENJOY SNACKY CAKES............I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT MOMENT OF PEACE BROUGHT TO YOU BY SNACKY CAKES!!!"
