But if this was at University, you were presumably 18, not 12. There's a big difference between what's reasonable behaviour for an 18 year old as opposed to a 12 year old.
Oh, and if you want someone who does what I do and is good at it... well I'm afraid it is you who is in the queue, not me.
Maybe you should set aside a fraction of your invaluable time, and employ a small portion of your vast intellect and unique talent pool to look up the word "outlier" in a dictionary.
You have essentially the same attitude as the banker on ten million a year who doesn't understand why there are people who have to catch the bus to work.
Often you can work at home in your pajamas, if you like.
That is entirely irrelevant for the majority of people who do have to go into an office dressed reasonably smartly each day. Just because you have a cool, highly paid job where you can sit around in PJs doesn't mean most people can.
The moral is very simple --- if you really want to be wealthy, stop being a worker, and start being an entrepreneur
Most people aren't entrepreneurs. To be a successful entrepreneur, your primary goal in life has to be making money. Most of us just want to earn enough to be comfortable and free to do things we actually enjoy.
You're either a natural born entrepreneur or you're not.

Oh come on, I don't watch much TV either, but if you've been on the internet for more than five minutes you must have come across the blackjack and hookers gag.

And, no, there isn't any reduction in carbon emissions or anything.
Just fewer surfers.
I think you should take a quick shufty at "Jokes For Dummies".
I think it's more likely he uses his experience and imaginatiion to preview the shot.
With so many capable instruments in the hands of so many young minds, art is bound to happen
For certain values of "art".
There are also thousands of artists today that equal the top handful of masters of old times
That's not how the arts work, I'm afraid.
A: Fantastic.

It's my fundamental human right not to wear a suit to work.
Sweating heavily into a pair of jeans and a tshirt is no different from doing the same in a suit.
Your individual preferences are irrelevant.

you can bet high performers like myself won't work in your shop
Everyone on slashdot's a high performer, of course.
A perfect example of why suit culture is not just unpleasant, but is actively evil, and anyone ethical should help resist it.
Anyone who equates ethics with clothing choice is a fucking idiot.
Or is it only those in the full three piece suit with spats, watch chain and hat that provoke you so?

It's just an inverted form of elitism.
Buy a lightweight cotton/linen suit then.
Some things are just against nature.
It is perfectly acceptable to curtail other people's absolute freedom where it impinges on someone else's, e.g. you are not free to murder me.
Anyone who sniffs at GBP60K a year (after just a couple of years post college experience) isn't living in the real world.

The trick is that doctors need to stop treating schizophrenics like we're sick...It's not that schizophrenics can't be treated or virtually cured
Your two statements contradict each other.
I suppose it's just barely possible that the whole world is not developed.
