Saving U.S. Science

beebo famulus writes "Twenty years from now, experts doubt that America will remain a dominant force in science as it was during the last century. The hand wringing has generated a couple of new ideas to deal with the dilemma. Specifically, one expert says that the federal government should create contests and prize awards for successful science ideas, while another advises that the National Science Foundation fund more graduate students and increase the amount of the fellowships."

    So YOU are to blame that today's America is busy jacking off instead of finding and inventing new and exciting means and ways to get your hands on pr0n.

    Shame on you!

    Wow! You are a serious loser. You troll-mod my posts left and right and have now start trolling my posts again. I have a hard time imagining a bigger loser. Seriously! Shesh. You seriously need to find some friends and a hobby. But I imagine with a personality like yours, finding friends is pretty hard. Hopefully your real-world personality isn't close to the persona you put forward in the online world. I sincerely hope that's not the case.

    Seriously...do you think for a second that stalking me and troll-moding my posts does anything other than validate how pathetic your life is?

    This may be the Christmas season talking...but I sincerely hope you can make a friend and your life gets better. I honestly didn't realize how sad and lonely you were when you first started stalking me...but I sincerely hope you meet someone which makes life a little better for you. If your parents are still in the picture, consider reaching out to them because the holidays are only going to get worse for people in your situation.

    One last little tidbit... /. is a very tiny, tiny part of my life. No matter how much you wrongly troll-mod my posts and stalk me on line...my life is damn good. And at the end of the day, my life encompasses far more than a chair a keyboard. I hope you can one day say the same.

    It's obvious you're crying out for help. Have you considered talking to someone like a professional? Chances are your parents are not in the picture...but seriously...try to make a new friend and see if your life doesn't feel so empty.

    Merry Christmas!
