I don't think suicide is ever a choice. There are rare cases in war where it has been, falling on your grenade and such, but in real life? It's a last ditch attempt to stop excruciating mental pain.
What suicidal people need is someone who cares about them, who can offer hope and a path to redemption. Trust me, anyone fucked up enough to off themselves is already telling themselves "it's their own fault" inside their own heads EVERY DAY. That's why they kill themselves! Jesus...
Standard non-plan GSM data rate in Canada is 5c per kilobyte. So $50/meg. We have some of the least competition and most outrageous cell-phone prices in the world.
That's an extreme example, but it gets my message across.
The correct term for that is 'hyperbole'.
A better analogy would be stealing the key to the secretary's office, and then loaning it out for a fee. In that case it they would be charged with a misdemeanor and be treated quite differently than someone who had held up a bank.
In your feeble attempt to preserve the Latin plural of 'antenna' you neglected to note that it has two forms, nominative and accusative plural. Accusative is proper when the word is the object of the sentence, as in your post. But, you used the nominative.
I kicked the antennas. The antennae kicked me.
Note the difference. In the future, please do not hyper-correct for Latin properness unless you're willing to do it properly. Thanks.
genes do not become lost when they combine with genes from another person to make a child.
That's not completely true. For a simple example, if one parent is homozygous dominant for a gene (A/A) and another is heterozygous (A/a) then half of their children on average will have "lost" the recessive allele. If by chance all the children they have happen to be A/A, then that recessive a trait is lost forever.
Yeah, it's nice that there are full scholarships available for the 4.0 students, how about some for the 3.5s? You can't seriously tell me a 3.5 is so much worse than a 4.0 that it should shut all sorts of doors, and as you said, without a full scholarship there are lots of people who just can't afford places like Duke.

The parent post could be many things, maybe even funny, but it is definitely not insightful.

The correct plural of virus is viruses.
Virii is not a word.

That's right, blame the users.
'How about we lay off that word now?'
(fixed for weirdness)
You can't 'pirate' something that's offered for free.
And for crying out loud, the "pirates" are saving them money by not eating up their bandwidth!
How we lay off that word now?
If there are an infinite number of parallel universes for each possible quantum outcome, why do we only experience -this- one?
Why, you don't fit the mold of a presumptuous, self-centered, egotistical American at all.
No sir.
I'll change my worldview right after I change my trousers.
Why, you're not bad at all! I mean, you're better than he is! That makes it all okay!
Who do you think you're lecturing, bud? Do you think I know the grammar of Latin but not English? Were you high when you wrote that?

I can't take credit for it, I saw it posted here a long time ago. But I do like it.
The plural of anecdote is not data.
Something to remember in these sorts of discussions.
The principal biproducts of current combustion engines are CO2 and... wait for it... H2O.
Yes, water vapor.
Has Arizona turned to a jungle yet?

That was quite possibly the finest example of elitist, childish, trolling bullshit I have read under this story so far.
Thank you for explaining what a Phoenix is. I had always assumed it was the name of a web browser.
Finally, an indisputable reason for choosing Java over C++.
Sad these days where a 3.70 GPA is considered "mediocre".
It's definitely not whichever vendor makes the "ramdrive" kind. I'm never buying one again.

And yet it may indeed be that ours is the easiest, and therefore most likely, form of life to get started.
