Actually, he traded immortality for the knowledge of good and evil. Essentially for a loss of ignorance. Pretty crappy trade if you ask me.

You are aware that some people who are medicated for ADHD (raises hand) are not kids?
I wasn't diagnosed until I was in college (I entered a drug trial for people who thought they might have ADHD, and after 10 hours of structured interviews and computer tests, I was diagnosed) and I took Adderall for years. Now I'm on Strattera. Both drugs made/make a huge difference in both my work and home life. I don't know if I could have gotten my MS in CompSci without em.
Agreed, lots of kids are "just kids", but ADHD is not a made-up disease, just an over-diagnosed one.

There was NOTHING ethereal about the Y2K threat.
A good solid decade of work by tens of thousands of programmers prevented it from being a goddamn global catastrophe...

It's talk like that which would take us back to that horrific era when kids didn't have to be put in a full suit of armor just to ride their bikes.
Spoken like someone who's never seen a pediatric traumatic brain injury case...which aren't exactly uncommon, even with increased use of helmets.

You could argue that a lot of that money doesn't go to the poor per se. But the intent of all of those programs is to transfer money from people with higher incomes to those with lower.
Good. Welcome to civilization, enjoy your stay!

I was not looking for information on anal sex. I was looking for information on Santorum. The link in question is disguised a legitimate Santorum link, but instead gives information on anal sex.
Google can't read minds. It knows you're looking for information about the string "Santorum". And the "link in question" IS a legitimate Santorum link. Santorum has had that lovely alternative meaning for 9 years now, and is fully in the Zeitgeist. Sorry it's not the definition you prefer.
Since I neither asked for nor searched out this definition, it is not appropriate for it to be presented to me.
Yes you did ask for it, by searching for the string "Santorum". If you don't like the results you got, go start your own search engine (ConservaGoggle or whatever).
like gay porn (unless, like I said, you are NAMBLA)
Associating gay sexual acts with pedophilia/child rape is offensive in the extreme. But I expect no less from you, as a supporter of scum like Santorum.
Don't fucking lie, nerd, no one would marry you.
Wife and 2 kids, pal. In my late 30s. And yes, my wife does enjoy occasional anal sex. Life is good.
