  1. Re:Learn to dance on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 1

    If you admire dancing and think it would be fun, then by all means do so. It's great exercise, will add to your coordination, and if you get to dance often enough in close proximity with women, it might help you stop thinking they are unapproachable or too good for you or any of that crap. Key to the universe, women get horny too. The problem is they are dealing with certain expectations (societal and personal) which makes them less than honest about it much of the time. That said, the current generation of kids seem to be shaking loose of that, so maybe it will get better. *shrug* That said, just being able to dance will NOT be enough. I started learning years ago and go swing dancing every week. I have lots of ladies who love to dance with me, but darn few I would consider dating because of age, religion or political differences.

  2. Re:Same as any other profession on Why Is It So Difficult To Fire Bad Teachers? · · Score: 1

    That's funny. I guess you never worked at the "right" place. I've witnessed firing for incompetence. It took a while because the programmer happened to be female and they were very, very, careful. She was given an assignement and was unable to do the job after a month of doing god knows what. The job was reassigned to me and I did it in a bit more than a week. Oh, and for the record, my supervisor was female as well as one other programmer, both who were very competent. I happen to be male, not that there is anything wrong with that. :-)
