At that point you are an accomplice to the crime.

That's just ignorant. I can see that you've never worked as an auditor? You can't catch everything. You can only mitigate risk. There's a big difference between not detecting activity and being an accomplice to it.

It sounds like you automatically assume that if someone didn't identify the activity, you automatically assume that they are turning a blind eye to it. Even been cheated on, lied to or manipulated? By your logic, you would be responsible for the other person's actions.

Dating is about experimentation and socialization. It's about exploring those feelings that they're starting to have at that age. I had a few innocent romances as a teenager, and I think it was wonderful to have been able to share that with someone without the pressure of "real life". Besides, the first heartbreak is probably one of the most defining moments of a young adult's life.

Besides, if you pen all that angst up, it's going to explode once they're out of your house.

Want to know how I know you never even started an MBA program?

Really. Try it. You'll learn loads, believe it or not.

Just because you're smart doesn't mean that learning the formal fundamentals in a couple of business oriented areas won't make you smarter.

As for being able to think intelligently, you either are able to or you're not. But, by having a larger pool of stock knowledge you can think intelligently in more areas.

Discrete math can be applied to algorithm/query optimization, and is often taught as that application.

It's really more of a school of thought that uses different areas and disciplines from all over the "math arena".

If you've ever stepped through loops and tried to optimize conditional statements, you've done "Discrete structures with graph theory" (In a simplified fashion).

Familiarity breeds attempt.
