Of all the things to respond to in that comment you say this? Who said anything about population growth? That they deliberatly prevented from getting birth control isn't the same problem as the rampant starvation attributed in large to politics, rather than ability or capacity.
Those two points are more important for starting a project, not for learning how to program. Specifically, if you, like in math, stick to the abstract concepts of programming. An if is an if is an if, whether the underlying implementation is the same or not. Likewise - if a language has say 'unless', well that's still an if, and the abstract concept holds with ANY language. As for the second point, those are not even paradigms. At least not the ones you've listed. The text editor vs IDE, for instance, is the same type of a decision you'd make about a text editor and a word processor. It's not programming specific and deals with a completely different skill, choosing the appropriate tool for the task.
If you start inquiring further, you'll get told that any feature that is present in your-IDE-of-choice but not in Vim is not needed anyway, and that you're an incapable idiot for even thinking about it.
Now that's a bit harsh. Usually that's not what the situation is. Often times, the old timers simply have modified their OS to be their IDE, and end up scoffing at the suggestion that one needs yet another tool to do what they are ALREADY DOING WITHOUT THAT SPECIAL TOOL. That is, they, not so casually, tell you that you're ignorant of their ways and they know it.
Main things getting lost in translation for me is that most these concepts are going the way of the dodo (and good riddance!). What does it mean to be a 'strong nation' in this day and age? We're at the point in which we mostly see the bullshit (naive of me, I know, but why not hope?). That I'm Canadian has no baring on how I see your rights, and I'm willing to bet that neither do you in return when it comes to me. Ultimately all of this ends up feeding my sarcasm pallet as I observe grown men and women discussing and overcoming problems that at best can be described as childish temper tantrums over what should be a non-issues for anyone with any reasoning power, but I digress.

Gross!
There is something to be said for a real human touch tho, no?
I didn't lie about it. I regretted it vocally.
Tom-ei-to Tom-ah-to ?
That implies they can comprehend it...
Is it?
The problem with your assesment, my friend... Is that you use logic.

It parses the HTML as a bonus!
He, unlike you, provided an argument. The caps had nothing to do with it.
And then some...

Your stance is not 'anti-life'. Your stance is 'It's none of my fucking business'. Just saying... it's not the same thing.
I wish I could mod you insightful...
wrong mod type.
Thank you for that link.
I can honestly say I do. Though, it's only a very recent development. Didn't use to be the case.
Terrible! You should check if you missed something first!
... by answering a question honestly... no less.
So what about the unfotunate moron who was simply caught in the headlights of the truck?

Perhaps you would be so kind as to point out the diffs?
Their not. What's missing is the grain of salt, as usual.
You contradict yourself, badly. I guess that is interesting to some. Though still, the whole thing makes no sense.
