I guess I just don't understand what you're arguing about. Maybe you're just arguing to be arguing. Wow, here's a slashdot article that I can argue with people about.
My point that you've missed is that you are making generalized statements about something in which you are ignorant, and making others believe that you have something to back up your statements. If you're *not* *talking* *about* *me*, then who are you talking about? Are you talking about other people with ADHD diagnosed children? Because I could find some other people with ADHD diagnosed children and tell them that you're conjuring assumptions... And then you'd only say *I'm* *not* *talking* *about* *you* *either*.
Ask yourself, do you know of any real life examples for which your argument holds true?
I happen to know that you can spend every second of every day with an autistic child and it wouldn't "fix" or "prevent" any type of autism. I know this because my mother was very close to me while I was growing up, and she is now doing the same for my 7 year old autistic brother. There are probably some cases of mis-diagnosis of ADD and ADHD, but you really can't make generalized assumptions about the disorders until you take a look at it first hand. Become an autistic child's friend and learn something about the disease before you try to impress your friends by saying that a bad upbringing encourages such a disorder. Just about very day I meet people ignorant to the subject (not unlike yourself) that have some kind of "remedy" or otherwise "solution" to the problem. Someone telling me my little brother should "get his ass whipped real good" does absolutely nothing but enrage me. Now, run along child, and go read a Temple Grandin book and become enlightened.
> A: Microsoft needs to release more secure OS/Web servers.
This *may* be the case, but I think you're falling into the ever so common (and closed-minded) "MS BAD, GNU GOOD" mindset. Yes, open source is a better programming method.. But excellent programs aren't written in a day. IIS is currently standing the "test of time" right now, and there is a huge bug in it, just as there have been huge bugs in [insert your favorite open source program here]. I would bet the next major release of IIS will not have this security hole.
> B: People need to patch their system themselves or take it off the net.
I've thought about this before, and I shiver. Who is to say that big brother Bill Gates doesn't have a backdoor for everything MS. We'll never know, unless someone accidently finds out and leaks it to the public (I don't see MS going open src ever). So if everything MS could have a backdoor, what about the La-Z-Boy featured yesterday? (This answers the question of "why doesn't the recliner come with a toilet installed?")

From the BBC News article:
He believed it had all been arranged by a super-intelligent civilisation who wished to seed our planet.
