Wow, condoms where expensive back in the day. Fifty cents in the 1950's was like $4.50 today. And USED!?
And really, while hand-eye coordination is important, I'd say flexibility and endurance got more of a workout.

You're religious, that's nice. Unfortunately, that doesn't tell us anything about whether or not you believe in either evolution or a young earth. Overzeetop is assuming that all or most of the technologically literate fall within the 54% that DO believe in evolution, but that's not nessesarily true. Sure, there's a correlation with technological literacy and being informed and intelligent, so hopefully you're part of it. But at this point, we don't know.
(Presuming you're in the USA.)

Pascal's Wager. Cute. Actually, what you lose is a life of working towards building a better world and what you get is a life dedicated to proping up a lie. You'll be remembered as a fool, one of many, who held his peers back. You'll be listed next to the Easter Islanders who cut down their trees, the french nobles who decided to let their children pay their debts, and the segregationists.
Unless you don't think that believing a lie really affects the world all that much. In which case, what's the point? If you're doing it because you think it makes you a good person, but it doesn't actually affect the world, then it doesn't really have an effect on you.
No, Pascal's wager is an overly narrow view of the effects of such a decision. It ignores the life a person lives and focuses only on what comes after. (which is nothing).

Furthermore, I'm not sure I'd want to chum about eternally with a bunch of people that wouldn't let me in just because I tried to be rational.

I'd really prefer if it was a two part system with the goggles talking to something in my pocket, or on my desk, or in my car, with painless way to transfer between them. I'd like a contextually aware display please.

Except there is no bush unless you were raised by abusive psychologists who were compulsive liars. "The bush" is a euphemism for "risk". There is no risk in this scenario. The child is assured to get two marshmellows if he can just stop listening to that little voice in his head that tells him to gorge now. Unless the child thinks that the adult is lying to him, in which case, sure, grab what you can get before they take it away from you.

An Xbox is the real baseball and real glove equivalent that normal kids play with today.
A home theater to play it in is the uniform equivalent that rich kids play in.
Nethack, dungeonCrawl, NewGrounds, Wesnoth, game demos, and pirated games are the stick equivalent that poor kids play with.

Welcome to the digital era.

Meanwhile the rich waste more time traveling abroad, attending charity balls, spending time on their boat, eating out, at the spa, and shopping.
It's like the poor are drawn to forms of entertainment that are relatively cheap.
Color me shocked!

Hi Coward,

Thanks, she's expecting in November. We're both engineers and she makes more than me. Part of that is because I limited my job hunt to a location around college to give her time to get her masters. The larger part is that SHE HAS A MASTERS. My career is more versatile than hers, so it means we followed her work after graduation. That was 7 years ago. We're both aware that, while it would be fun to stay home and play with kittens, I mean kids all day, that's not a optimal solution, and we both should get to work.

Sure, OP has a valid argument. The same way that you could say that black people are commonly poor and the statistics are there to back you up (depending on your area). Guess who is most likely to mug you in an alley? Such statements, while a valid argument for profiling, don't detract from the fact that it's racist as all fuck and is the sort of fascist bullshit that turns whole societies into twisted evil organizations that justify the creation of hate-crimes. Read the OP again. He's not suggesting to make sure the fiance wants a career, he's suggesting that any woman getting married shouldn't bother with an education.

I also suggest you reread my post, and notice the word "like" that indicates the use of a simile. It's surrounded by words, "you sound like", that help this literary construct along. Also note that you don't have to wait until the knife is protruding from your chest to suggest that maybe we should be running from the crazy man flailing the knife around. Sometimes you can see it coming. But sure, it's perfectly possible that the OP is in a loving relationship and they both mutually agree that they should have re-though the need for her education before spending the money on it. Or he's a douchebag that blames women for getting "hormonal". Both are possible situations.

Burn the non-believer! The Axiom of Choice is paramount and unquestionable! Listen not to his LIES!

Well, I could understand if some language gets more use by one party or another, but that's linguistics, not bias. If you assume everyone with a texan drawl is a dyed-in-the-wool republican and you see a lot of articles with that Texan drawl, you can't assume that those articles are biased towards republicans. Because the Texan republicans can still write with a NPOV. They can be professional and, you know, fair. Even when they speak funny.

Hey, it's possible. (plus, there's this place called Houston).
