One of the more common subject lines I get in an organization where email is the primary means of communication.

You'd think. I usually just add a subject to the email when it comes my way but "training people"... not that easy.

We don't know the 16-year olds personally and we don't have a transcript of the class verifying that there was no mention or implication of the moral standing of such undertaking.

I have a problem with presuming that 16-year olds have to be specifically educated on the harmfulness of a terrorist attack. It implies their being sociopaths separated from carrying out of such an attack by mere lack of know-how in the matter.

My stepson moved to the U.S. from Eastern Europe when he was in 4th grade. When he went to school here he found out that the curriculum was 3 years behind, so in 5th, 6th and 7th grade he was still going over material he had covered already. Just FYI, U.S. public schools were created and designed to spew blue collar workers capable of self-discipline and mundane tasks. They were never meant to encourage creativity. Just enduring long dull robotic workdays.

School is here mainly to teach obedience, to domesticate children.

"The secret of American schooling is that it doesn't teach the way children learn -- nor is it supposed to. Schools were conceived to serve the economy and the social order rather than kids and families -- that is why it is compulsory. As a consequence, the school can not help anybody grow up, because its prime directive is to retard maturity. It does that by teaching that everything is difficult, that other people run our lives, that our neighbors are untrustworthy even dangerous. "

Feeling crazy in such an environment is normal reaction.

I would look into getting help for kids who DO like public school.

Yes, you may not have become an engineer... you may have become something else.

Using medication to shoehorn children into oppressive child-hostile environment (school) is not the best solution IMHO.

One of the things the jaulbreak developers did, was to close the exploit before apple did, on more devices than apple did.

So, to close the exploit, you'd use the exploit to jailbreak your phone, and then patch it.

... where music distributors will pre-sue all their clients.

And pre-fine them $60k for each song they purchase, just in case.

Beautifully said. Except that we don't exactly live on our knees. We sleep on our knees and we dream whatever is fed to us through the tubes.

Also, let's not forget that relatively soon we will have hundreds of thousands well-trained killing machines / war veterans, many dependent on SSRIs, without jobs, available for hire for pennies, to the highest bidder. Given that the legislators already work for the highest bidder, this creates an interesting situation, no?

War happened, in Europe, and people who lived through it are still alive and a part of the mass consciousness. One of the reasons Europeans are less turned on by war than US-anians.

Rapid brain growth causes headaches...

So, just when you start gaining on your IQ, it's "I have a headache honey" day!

If that were the case AND rats were both playing the NBA and posting to /.

Rats != humans.
One of the reasons applying behavioralism truisms to human beings is fcukd up.

There is no evidence that the drivers who roll-stop on an empty intersection are the same drivers who don't stop for pedestrians/bikers.

Threatening someone with imaginary punishment in order to change their mind is a weak argument.

This implies a zero sum game with either T-bones or rear-endings.

What would be a solution that only *decreases* the accidents AND is profitable for the government (cause it may not get implemented otherwise)?

It's already here.

Where WE = the_superrich and EVERYONE = everyone_with_$1b+_litigation_budget.

As long as the Royalty group agrees to pay to ISPs every time someone sees an ad for music or buys music online.

It's only fair.
