...recent Western culture has shown that a higher percentage of men have become fathers in the past few generations than before that.

As more and more males become adjusted to the instant high of popular culture, we'll just return to the times when a tinier percentage of men were having all the babies.

Marriage is already on a decline, in some races good husbands are hard to find so women have more biracial babies, and the powerful men won't stop spreading their seed.

Does it matter to me if the weak male class doesn't have kids? Hell no -- and they make good employees, too. Maybe better ones.

Then you have free to torrent. And?

Personally I couldn't care less, I haven't found anything worth watching even for free in quite some time. The answer is the same, though-you're relying on a certain subset of people not wanting to get it for free (or ad-free), and the rest are already gone. The more inconvenient you make it, the smaller that pool becomes.

The best person I know putting forth the cause of reason and sense is Pope Benedict XVI. Go read his address to the University of Regansburg if you don't believe me. Remember though it's the one that the religions you so deride decided to kill priests and nuns over, because the Pope was stupid enough to tell the truth about how certain religions deny reason.

Experience is not necessarily a teacher for the autistic; he has his idea of how the world should be and it's very very hard to change. That's why most HFA individuals are extremely conservative in their views; change comes extremely hard for them.

When that change is due to a lie that shapes a worldview, it's even harder to deal with.

"Jobs created first, a market segment, and that was "A PC for the rest of us". "

I would argue that it was Woz's Apple I, with it's wood case and 6502 microprocessor, that did that. The rest is innovative, but nothing close to a TV you could Type On (have to be over 30 to realize the magic of that- if you're under 30, that magic has *always* been in the world for your entire life).

The Apple I spawned the "PC for the rest of us" home computer market- three years before the IBM PC came out.

Some performers on television appear to be horrible people, but when you finally get to know them in person, they turn out to be even worse. -- Avery
