Other people's opinions don't count. The rules are what counts, and the rules make no mention of whether you have living offspring. Unless they are clones of you, your genes are gone when you are. If you don't like it, make your own awards.
Hey, I didn't make the rules. Also, your genes are unique to you. Your children, unless they are clones, do not have your genes - just a percentage of them - and even that is combined in different ways.
No, it was the desire for fame. In their eagerness, it overrode their common sense or sense of caution. They were on an endorphin high from imagining what would happen if they hit 300,000 viewers.
We shouldn't have to label every gun with "this can kill" and every book with "this will not stop a.50 cal. bullet". This has nothing to do with education, but with common sense and the stupidity that the Internet brings out in people. In a "virtual world", they're astounded that there are real-world consequences?
The rules are clear - you only have to remove yourself from the gene pool (preferably in a funny or ironic way). They say nothing about previous offspring.
Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way.
They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:
Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.
They are dead, obvious lack of judgment, did it to themselves, and the event is true. The only question mark is maturity. But the same can be said for most members of Congress and the Senate.
The figures I gave are from the government, not me. I'm just quoting them. Being worried about people losing health care coverage isn't knee-jerk politics unless you've taken too much Tylenol.:-)
But we can't blame Tylenol for the original problem, even in our wildest dreams. Both major parties are broken when it comes to serving citizens first, and that's down to greed and a lust for power. "Citizens" is just another variable to be manipulated.
Foote was diagnosed with cancer in April 2004, and returned to Edmonton for treatment at the Cross Cancer Institute. But the disease had taken a firm grip, and he died one month later, leaving behind a will which left only a tiny fraction of his $220 million US estate to his family. (Anne got an annuity, the children got $100,000 each, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald.)
The bulk of his fortune was left to the Edmonton Community Foundation and The Lord Mayor's Charitable Fund in Melbourne, Australia.
Bentley, his longtime friend, was executor of the will. He believes Foote had given his children what they really needed — which was not his vast fortune.
"He felt that if he gave his children an education and money to buy a house and left them a small amount in his will that that was enough," he said. "If they're educated they can make a living."
The family didn't see it that way. Anne and five of his children filed suit in what became a long and bitter challenge of the will, which also directed her to move out of Foot Nort within two years.
The justice hearing the case in Alberta Court of Queen's Bench called the will "mean spirited" noting that it "essentially disinherited his immediate family."
They were warning about the enemy within. We never thought it would become in the form of a sack of shit disguised as a bag of semi-sentient Cheetos.
If someone had written this as a way for space aliens to destroy the human race, it would have been laughed at. But look at that thing Trump calls hair - lots of tendrils going into the head - perfect for mind control:-)
Only if you don't want to feel empathy as you deprive 22 million people of necessary health care, and kick 1.4 million people out of old age homes into the street. If you don't have any empathy for that, then please take a few bottles of tylenol with your lunch.
Because you have a seriously fucked up infatuation with me. Anyone following your posting history can see it. Go stroke off some more to some tranny porn - it's what you do best.
If the productivity and economic gains of the last 50 years had been distributed as they had previous to that date, we would all be working 1-1/2 day weeks, and there would be more than enough work to go around for everyone.
Only if we were content with the standard of living we had 50 years ago.
Nonsense. When we can produce better cheaper, there is no way we're going to be producing obsolete products like tube TVs, etc.
New cars used to become rust-buckets within 3 years. Expected lifespan for a 4-cylinder was 40,000 miles. Suspensions used to have to be greased ever 3 months, oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles, oil filter every second oil change, rad flush and coolant replacement every 2 years... gas mileage was shit. Tune-ups? Cars routinely go for years without changing spark plugs. Used to be every 6,000 miles - 10,000 miles was pushing it. Distributor cap every 2 years. Points and condenser every 6,000 miles unless you were comfortable pushing them until they failed and then filing and adjusting them on the side of the road so you could get back home.
Remember those 26" TVs? Go weigh one of them from 40 years ago, then weigh a 52" today. The older one, even though it is far smaller, weighs more, showing that it uses more resources. We're producing 8 gigs of ram for less than 64k of old slow ram cost back then. Food productivity has also gone through the roof.
Try it before you claim that it can't work. People without empathy are looking for those who can be manipulated emotionally. Surround yourself with people who recognize such behaviour for what it is, they'll go hunting for prey elsewhere. It's what they do. It's what they need. And with enough people, there's the whole herd immunity thing going, protecting even those who would be open to exploitation on their own.
Unfortunately, your robot first post AI is about to be outsourced to an offshore robot first post AI. Lower cost for the little human labour AIs require makes it inevitable. The top 7 things you can do:
Retrain your AI at tremendous cost, and hope that what it was retrained for isn't also offshored when it's ready
Push for a universal basic income for your robot AI
Have your AI concentrate on leisure activities with its free time as a sop to console it for being useless
Have your AI go off the grid - only run when there's solar, natural cooling instead of AC in the server room, disconnected from the net
Pull an IBM - have your AI move to Bangalore at 1/5 the pay.
UBER! Even though "it's not meant to be a job."
Remove most of it's memory and CPU, downgrade the software, get it a Twitter account, paint it orange, and have it run for President.
And before the apps guy shows up, AI APPS. AI APPS AI APPS. Only AI Appers do AI Apps on their AI Apps. AI APPS for your AI APP Overlords.
You shouldn't care about people who lack empathy. They're happy that way, and the rest of us can tell them to f*ck off with a clear conscience. Win-win.:-)
RFID - you'll just walk out with your stuff and be billed accordingly. Not even a need for security to make sure you scan stuff. Those jobs will go the way of the telephone operator.
Not only that - programming has ALWAYS been an art. That's one reason why we have phrases such as "code smell" - stuff you look at and immediately you go "WTF is this shit?"
It's also why web development is so subject to the "fad du jour". It's easy to latch onto new fads when you're working on ephemeral crap that is going to be scrapped almost as soon as it's written. And since it will be scrapped so quickly, it's easy to ignore the bugs because it has such a short lifetime that it's not worth fixing. That will be "fixed" with the next javascript library, the next backend language or framework, or HAHAHAHAHAHA - sorry, the idea is so absurd I can't help but laughing.
If the productivity and economic gains of the last 50 years had been distributed as they had previous to that date, we would all be working 1-1/2 day weeks, and there would be more than enough work to go around for everyone. Neoconservatives and neoliberals (I'm looking at you, Bill and Hillary) are to blame. Trickle-down doesn't work, but both sides of the fence push it. Time for some trickle-up - the demands of the citizenry pushing the economy, and not the few.
Curiosity and experimentation out of self-interest. All the original inventions used that - no capital. Stone knives, leather tanning, cooking, bone needles for sewing, language, drawings, and later written symbols, to represent real world things, animal husbandry, farming.
None of these required money, which is the use of objects to represent value, another invention that was done without money to exist before it was invented.
BTW - Steve Wozniak developed the Apple 1 by himself - no outside funding, no Steve Jobs. The Wright Brothers self-financed their flying machine. You can look for more examples.
Instead of being a VC, they should have run for president. Then they wouldn't have these problems.
Trump isn't getting any sex. Even his wife won't let him hold her hand in public. Why do you think he's up in the middle of the night on Twitter? His sex drive is so low that he doesn't even want to look at porn. Twitter and Fox. Big Macs and steak with ketchup and Cheetos. Dat's all folks.
The finasteride that Trump takes to slow down hair loss means he's most likely got no libido, and no ability to have an erection. Which explains his turning to Twitter to keep himself occupied.
Trump's sex life is now limited to hall sex - where you pass each other in the hall as you go to your separate bedrooms and say "fuck you!" "fuck you!"
The best way? The one that produced the dot-com bubble, shitty social media, and the ethos of "what's your exit strategy" before you even have a product? Because that's what VCs look at - the exit strategy. They are not in it for the long haul. They don't give a shit about customers - they just want the buy-out.

People can act in their own self-interest in communism, where promoting the common good is recognized as being in everyone's self interest.

Since when is a 19-year-old a child? Only in Mississippi. In Minnesota, and every other state, they are both adults.

Is it possible that she just murdered him, and made up this "it was his idea" story after the fact?
She posted that it was his idea before the shooting, so unless she has a time machine ...
Why yes, I did read the story. Several brain cells committed suicide after reading something so stupid.
I just don't understand the younger generation
19-year-old couple, 3 year old daughter, one in the oven - and you expect responsible behaviour on the internet?
Judging by how the republicans are acting recently, they're finally realizing they too lost the election.

But despite that, the challenge failed in 2009
Sounds like a Hallmark Movie-of-the-Week.

just another confused effeminate SJW twerp who will say whatever he thinks is in fashion at the moment.
You mean like you and all the other MRAs now that Trump is leading the way?
