That is a very narrow view you hold there... I would like nothing more than for one of your personal friends to read this as a challenge to prove you wrong.
Life is situational and contextual. An out-of-character picture taken in a situation where safety and understanding is seemingly assured AT THE TIME can be completely misinterpreted and taken out of context at some future date by some uninvolved party.
One's own lack of control regarding that which finds its way to the 'intertubes' IS a cause for concern for all. In the wrong hands, in the wrong situation, these things can cause irreparable harm.
My point is that society needs to get the proverbial stick out of its ass, and be a bit less assuming. I should not need to concern myself with the rather racy picture I allowed to be taken at my uncle's bachelor's party. You know, the guy who was like a father to me and who I hold so dearly and was so happy for him that he found love again that perhaps I cut a bit too loose in his celebrations...
This letter is to inform your membership is being revoked forthwith and that you are required to immediately turn in your man card for this egregious violation of the man code of conduct.

How much of that salary is going offshore (outside of US)? I would wager a significantly larger percentage than if the money were more evenly distributed.
Suppose the money were divided evenly among those beneath him, and he took an even or slightly higher share. I'm not arguing if this is fair or not. I'm just arguing about circulation and systems.
So instead of one guy heading to Rio, they all head to the Jersey Shore... More money for the local economy yes? More money more evenly distributed among all involved yes? Greater localized ROI in local economic system yes? Multiplier effect for said economic system yes? This all sounds really good to me...
I'm not sure I'm much concerned about circulating wealth across global economic systems. We have enough issues right here, and there are even more vultures out there...
"they" DO NOT "rake in far more money for the school", the program(s) do. The programs involve a plethora of individuals contributing to the success/failure of those programs.
Get real and evaluate the disparity between the rock-star coaches and their second tier support folks (you know, the ones who do most of the actual WORK!). Its so ridiculous its laughable.
This country, for some unknown reason, has devolved into a bunch of idol worshipers. Until this country gets its head out of its ass thinking that individual rock stars, or CEOs, or coaches, or , are worth these ridiculously disparate salaries, we're all doomed to this fate.
No one person, regardless of skill level, can ever possibly contribute (or be worth) 1000 times more than any other one (similarly educated) person. Try to tell me I'm wrong.
that Afghanistan has $1 Trillion in mineral wealth? Did they conduct field surveys? Why were they looking for minerals? I thought we were there for terrorists?
Not sure what scale you use to evaluate the value of/. article postings to the common nerd, but I think anything NASA has to qualify.
The sheer magnitude of R&D and technology involved with the space shuttle, its missions, and the NASA space programs in general far exceed by any measure the level of "nerdiness" required to end up on/.

Dear Former Sir,
This letter is to inform your membership is being revoked forthwith and that you are required to immediately turn in your man card for this egregious violation of the man code of conduct.

The zealots will refuse to "loosen up", and the rest of us will refuse to be zealots.

If even a small minority of folks are like me, then a significant percentage of his viewership can be attributed to people looking for a good laugh.

Do they call them fry cooks in Montana?
That does sound fun, and probably EXACTLY the type of gimmick that would attract real talent.
Bravo! Point finally made. Thank you Sir!

I'm not sure you can say "wrong", but certainly "inappropriate" would work...
Whatever that last word comes to be, the truth of the sentiment within that statement is so elegant, it belongs carved into a monument somewhere.
