Comment Re:I could have told you that. (Score 1) 938

... and btw.

Some kids gets bullied more than others, so if it only was the bullies which where dicks then wouldn't all other kids become bullied of them in a somewhat equal amount?

For some reason they seem to choose their target.

Though I think it's not totally fair to put all the blame on the victim and only see them as the problem and not ask oneself why the bullies have to behave like dicks in the first place, not all kids do.

That's not the answer they give.

And even if you're not bullied later in life (eventually mostly because you're so alone ..) the lack of understanding social situations may still affect many aspects of your life.

Other interesting (I hope) articles they had linked from the same page:
Understanding the 10 Most Destructive Human Behaviors
10 Things Schools Don't Teach Well

If you (the reader) got bullied in school go ask yourself how well you master the following skills all from the article above:
* Listen to others.
* Follow the steps.
* Follow the rules.
* Ignore distractions.
* Ask for help.
* Take turns when you talk.
* Get along with others.
* Stay calm with others.
* Be responsible for your behavior.
* Do nice things for others.

Speaking for myself I know which ones I would had rated quite low.

Hey, I'm all for ending the war on drugs, but Coca-Cola was not trying to taste like cocaine, it was made with cocaine -- 9 mg per glass until 1909. Coca leaves, kola nut extract, carbonated water and sugar. I can understand why they'd drink it.

But what we have now is worthless to consume and not even that pleasant. The reason we consume it is because we're told we should. By advertising. Mmmm... Slurm!

Personally, I feel that if we're going to colonize the moon (or Mars), that responsibility should not be put in the hands of NASA, the USA, or any other hypercapitalist nation for that matter. What these bean counters love to ignore is that, once we hit space, money/wealth will quickly become irrelevant. I don't know about you, but I can't picture debt collectors chasing me through the galaxy so some dirty banker can buy a diamond-encrusted iPad.

That's just a part of the myth they maintain, that they're the experts in everything to do with cars and their operation. In reality the CHP is a bunch of state sanctioned thugs who try to maximize profit by handing out as many tickets as possible. It just goes to show that the CHP officer who crashed due to the stuck accelerator didn't have the critical thinking skills needed to get out of the situation.

According to those that want a "government option" for healthcare, there is room for both. In fact, according to their healthcare logic, we HAVE to have both private and government sponsored space programs, otherwise evil, for profit space transportation firms will charge exorbitant costs for space travel, and I think we can all agree that affordable space travel is the right of every American!

I've suggested many times splitting the US in half - one side follow libertarianism (what the country was founded on), and the other side follows your collectivist views. Then after say 30 years, see how many people want to stay on each side.

Amusingly, it's always been the people in your camp who cry "That's not fair!" because you know it's the hardworking and responsible "evil" capitalists that make it possible for leeches like you to have your collectivist societies, paid for by their work and sweat.

Comment Who said anything about free? (Score 1) 1634

Except products more open than Apple's do exist (lots of them!) And 90+% of people are buying those products. No one is asking for things for free, so you can take that straw man elsewhere.

If we're going to have hype about Apple splashed all over the media as if it was election day, with people saying how wonderful Apple are, then people equally have the right to voice their criticisms of that product.
