Who saw this and felt a moment of relief? "Whew! No one will know how often I watch Jack/Ianto music vids."
Just for the record? I totally use YouTube to watch user-created videos. I have never used YouTube to get Dr. Who and Torchwood episodes. Never ever. Seriously. And I have never once uploaded a Supernatural episode for anyone overseas. Really.
Ahmmm. ..you do know that C.S. Lewis was one of the most popular writers on Christianity in the 20th century, right? And you do know that Lewis not only intentionally filled the books with Christian themes, symbolisms and parallel story-lines, but that he copped to it, quite happily so too.
Now, if you want a Christian writer whose work can be said to have "christian overtones" but which specifics are generally a stretch, try one of Lewis's best friends, Tolkien on for a stretch. You wouldn't believe the rubbish that's written about Christian analogies in his work, when it's just not there. . .
If giving CEOs a bigger cut of the profits produces incentive for the CEO to increase earnings, it's just good business to give them a bigger cut. That argument only works if the incentive is lost when the CEO fails to increase earnings to such an extent that the CEO feels some real discomfort. In current business practice, if the CEO fails to increase earnings he/she only loses face and power. His/her severance package as stipulated in the executive's package will still be quite generous.
It can be successfully argued that this power structure is a major problem in management today - the top positions are filled with individuals whose only reward for doing well is satisfaction, prestige and power. The economic force that makes the rest of us poor slobs do well - being able to live comfortably - just isn't there. Money, for the top tier, has increasingly become an abstract plaything simply because the top tier of wealth in this country has concentrated so much of it.
I'm personally of the opinion that if companies were really interested in bringing down costs and increasing profitability, they'd've outsourced their top positions years ago.
The dumbing down of A levels in England is indicative of the dumbing down of education in much of the Western World and of how we're treating our kids. They're idiots because we treat them like idiots. We lower the bar so they never develop the muscle to jump higher bars.
We're not readying kids for life. I would like to put a lot of it at the feet of parents who don't see their children as individuals wholly seperate from themselves, but rather as pets who need to be coddled and protected. My intelligence tells me that it's all a part of a larger societal more though.
With top of head recognition for quite some time, as I understand it.
When you enter the store, a photo of the top of your head is taken and somehow it's marked. Then photos are constantly taken at certain points in the store to track patterns. At the end of your visit to a store, your purchases are tracked via what the system sees the cashier selling you.
No names, no personal identities, just the top of your head that particular day.
