When I was in high school in the late 80's (very rural area, graduating class less than 40) we could bring in our rifles and shotguns to woodshop and rework the stocks. We even got graded on it.
The only caveat was that they had to be unloaded and checked by the shop teacher.
Now you can get in trouble for even bringing a gun magazine into that same school.
In 30 years, "American" will be synonymous with "retard".
The replies to my last post are reminiscent of the song "Give Up" by The Postal Service.
If you truly believe that being born rich is the only way to get rich, you will never be rich.
I have a question for you:
If you were not born rich, should you spend a lot of time worrying about the imagined successes of those who were born into wealth?
Does that line of thinking ever benefit you? Has that line of thinking ever benefited you?
I think not.
That sort of defeatist complaining crap keeps you and others like you wallowing in despair for your entire lives.
Life is not "a crap shoot". Life is more like a game of draw poker. When you play a hand of 5-card draw, do you whine loudly if you don't get a royal flush on the deal?
Quit your fucking whining. The world does not care.
Life is not fair.
Big fucking deal. GET SOME!

You can infer from the context of the Swiss person's post that the evidence presented was anecdotal.
The Canadian's biggest problem can be summed up as follows:

What sort of "security researcher" uses GoDaddy on purpose?
I mean, seriously?
I grew up on farms.
Raw milk = good.
I do not, however, understand the problem with pasteurization.
Isn't milk cooked into a variety of foods?
If you have any good links to sites that clearly outline any downsides of heated milk, please do so. I am interested.
It would be more like, a burglar making exact copies of your possessions and then using them, while you retain your copy.
No, in fact, it wouldn't even be like that.
Dude, you totally fail at logic.

Everything I know about socialization, I learned on Slashdot.
Fair enough.
Does that mean that the world is "unfair", or does it mean that your expectations were unrealistic?
"I performed A, and so I should have gotten A1 result. However, as I instead received B result, the world is unfair."
Wrong.
You are should-ing all over yourself, living life swimming through a great big pile of should.
Question your preconceptions.
Oops, my bad.
I was thinking of the song about how the singer plans to "sleep in".
Thanks for the correction.
Merit is relative.
If you go into a VC meeting with that attitude, you will fail.

You are missing the point of that statement.
Life is a meritocracy.
Your benefit is the result of your action.
If you do not have the things you want, you have not filled the requirements to get those things.
It doesn't matter what you got on your report card.
Life is a meritocracy.
Wrong.
