Even an adult mother and son? How about an adult daughter and father? What about adult brother and sister? And who cares if they decide to have children and inbreed. After all, it's their choice to who they marry, and how they express their love. Using your logic for homosexual marriage applies exactly to consensual incest with only the partners changed.

1. 2 GB on startup? Something is wrong with your setup. I've been up for 3 days and 6 hours. I only have 1802 MB in use.
2. Who cares about a measly 2 GB anyways? I have 16 GB in my computer right now, and if I wanted to, I could upgrade to 32 GB. 2GB? Please quit your bitching. Buy some fucking memory, and try running a modern machine for once.
The DPRK or Iran may not be able to completely destroy the USA, but they could do significant damage our infrastructure by using as few as two nuclear weapons to blow a critical wound to the USA in the form of an electromagnetic pulse. All that would be necessarily to do so would be a medium-range missile that shoots the payload 50 miles above the surface of the earth along both the northeast and southwest coasts. Most of the economic engine of the USA would grind to a halt. The damage done would cost trillions of dollars, many years, and millions of lives.
Versus being a pointy-headed academe who does nothing but run up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt while doing nothing but studying the fine art of the History of Ethiopian influence upon modern hip hop music.
Internships work for automotive technicians because it is, (at least where I work) a job where you walk in, submit your resume and application, and have a one-to-one job interview with the service manager or fixed operations manager. If you know your OBDII procedures, and can talk the talk, along with previous experience, with a good reference check, you will most likely be hired if there is an opening. The dealership where I work doesn't have an HR department.
I was taught how to read, write, do arithmetic, be aware of world events, care about the US constitution, be aware of modern political events, and also practical skills that are usable in the workforce through the School-to-Work program in WA state. I interned at a locksmith, and an audio installation shop. I have learned valuble skills from these internships that I still use to this day. (I work at a auto dealer here in town)
We are not a democracy, and never have been. "god" willing, we never will be either. In a democracy, 51% of the population can kill 49% of the population by a simple vote. We are a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The word "Democracy" appears nowhere in the US constitution. Hell, back in high school, I used to read the Constitution and history book for fun. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, "A democracy is where three wolves and a lamb vote on what to have for dinner, a republic is where the lamb has a gun".
As to your question about why should mechanics and truck drivers being less educated; I contend that they are equally as educated. They are trained in skills that you do not have, and there is a market demand for those skills. Furthermore, to be a certified ASE automotive technician, it requires ongoing education in automotive repair. Vehicle technology changes rapidly, and a technician needs to be kept up to date regarding the latest changes.
Why is a "well rounded education" limited to knowing about shit you'll never use in the real world, such as Socrates, advanced calculus, Cantonese III, The History of Rock and Roll, underwater french basket weaving, etc? Why aren't practical skills such as automotive engine repair, Small engine repair and electricity, plumbing, wood craftsmanship, etc, (which are practical skills), considered part of a "well-rounded education"?
High school is supposed to prepare you for entry into the workforce, and get you ready to maintain regular schedules and routines, and working to a goal. Given this, why is college regarded by society so highly? To go into the workforce? Isn't that what high school is for?
Why do televisions still even exist? What can you do with a television that you can't do with a computer?
Have an entertainment medium that I can control with 5 buttons. After a 11 hour day at work, I don't want to browse the net to find what I want, bother loading it in youtube, and then max screening it, and sending it over to my larger monitor.
All this takes work I DON"T SIMPLY WANT TO DO EVERY TIME I DECIDE TO WATCH SOMETHING FOR SIMPLE ENTERTAINMENT on the computer. However, on the TV, I only need 5 buttons minimum to get at what I want if I'm lazy and don't want to use the programming guide, (and even then, it's only 8 buttons to do anything I want on the TV).
First they pass laws to ensure equality among persons given the effort.
Next they pass laws to ensure equality among persons regardless of the effort.
Next they MANDATE that all people are equal in all aspects regardless of education or effort
Finally, they mandate what activities, and what you must do to entertain yourself. After all, it's all in the name of equality. Everybody else has access to this, and watches it, so you must also be reduced to those sole choices. Socialism: Sharing misery equally since 1948>/a>

I already don't own any Crapple products from the manufacturer, and the one Crapple product I do own is a eMac that I pulled out of a dumpster.(I hate it when technology is wasted, so I took it). However, I will never purchase any product from that company. So I guess I've been boycotting Apple for the last 15 years.
Fuck socialism, and I'm not talking about the governance model either. I don't like people IRL. My ideal life path would be working at home, and ordering all of my services and goods online, with mail-order service. Hell, if it were up to me, I wouldn't even go grocery shopping. I would buy food online too. Fuck people. They have no use for me, and I have no use for them. As long as I have a basic method of communication online, I could really live without meatspace interaction. Hell, I even met my actual meatspace wife online on an atheist think tank. She used to be a tongue speaking lunatic Pentecostal, but is also now an atheist. IMHO, if it can't be done or bought online, (except for beer), it's not worth my effort. Hell the only reason I leave the house is to go to work, and grocery shop, (also auto parts shop if I need something NOW). Other then that, I have no reason to go off line.
I don't even travel for vacations. I figure if I want to see somewhere, I always have Google Earth, and I don't have to deal with the idiots, or the crowds.
TL,DR: Fuck real people, I prefer the Internet where the world is at my fingertips.-
You will get all of the extended basic lineup, the digital channels for your local feeds, and probably your cable company's "premium music service" for free if you have a standard television with an ASTC tuner. Once you hook yourself up, do a channel scan, and you'll have a package somewhere between the Digital cable package, and Basic extended, (since you will still recieve local digital and "Radio on TV" stations.
This issue of use-based billing for the Internet is exactly why we need Net Neutrality laws with teeth. I would love to just go back to using a local independent ISP, but the big telecoms have destroyed all those small businesses, so it's one huge telecom or the other if you want to get on the Internet.
I beg to differ. I'll give you 3 local examples right now, (which are overpriced for what they offer)

Go for it dude, shut down your TV service and Internet. Ditch your cellular phone while you're at it, and insist that all vehicles you own do not have OBD I or OBD II. Live like it's 1970! Good luck on being able to pick up OTA TV, (thanks to the GOVERNMENT MANDATED ASTC conversion, where analog used to work fine, {and I would get 12 channels}, I can now pick up 1 channel which is an analog repeater of the local ABC affiliate, and it comes in piss-poor, and in black and white with static), finding payphones whenever you need to make a call, and with tariff rate home phone service where local calls are $0.10/min, and long distance calls range between $0.45-$2.35/min. Calling the NYSE for 4 minutes used to cost $9.45 from WA State.
Yeah, the 1970's were great. That's why technology stopped at the IBM 8088 processor, and a 1200 baud acoustic coupler for dialing into your local BBS. Rabbit ears strung in series throughout the living room with aluminum foil and beer cans wired to them because the land lord won't allow you to install a roof top antenna on your rental structure just to get a couple of channels to watch after a hard day of work. Yeah, those were the days. Too bad we can't go back to that era. I will fondly miss them. NOT!!
Hold down the mute button until the tv mutes, release it, and hit it again. You now have control over the TV. You can change channels, switch AV sources, power it off, or adjust the volume.
Yea, because more government involvement is always better. That's why SCHIP and Obama Care are a resounding political success in the USA. Yeah, the government knows best, but not here on earth!!. You can keep your hope, and let me find change for beer. I'm sick of you liberals trying to turn our country into somsocialist utopia. Here's a clue asshole. "Utopia" is Latin for "No Land". It doesn't exist. Give it up.
Hey hippies! Instead of standing around bitching about how life's unfair cause people have more then you, and wanting it all handed to you without any effort on your behalf in the name of "fairness", how about this? OCCUPY A JOB!!

If you have a P-Key, a Cable lock terminator tool and a Jonard F Connector Torque Wrench, Speed Head, 30 in/lbs, you can always cancel cable completely, wait until the cable guy disconnects you, and then go downstairs/out to your cable box and hook yourself for free. Just be sure not to tell anybody.
You will get all of the extended basic lineup, the digital channels for your local feeds, and probably your cable company's "premium music service" for free if you have a standard television with an ASTC tuner.
