Er... when do kids start having sex in your neck of the woods?;-)
There's like, you know, a *few* years between birth and sexual activity where we could more rationally schedule the vaccinations. Vaccinations are not forever in many cases, and vary widely as a function of the virus and even individual biochemistry. Scheduling them later is logical for something like STDs.
You're going to have to cite something to support "a lot" but, yes, for whooping cough the CDC blames a less than stellar vaccine rather than lack of herd immunity. The French are developing a better one administered via nasal spray. That being said, vaccinated kids do suffer less severe symptoms from the disease, and an imperfect vaccine is not an argument against vaccination. No vaccine is 100% perfect, and new disease strains come along (the annual flu season being the archetype for that problem) but it's absolutely, positively better than nothing.
Like I said, we do dress better for customer meetings.
I get why it's done, I just thinks it's all so stupid. Looking smart? Spending ten extra minutes putting on a costume proves something deep and important about a person? I'm sorry, but society is reading way more into it than it deserves.
Greedy politicians and other sociopaths who want to rip you off or fuck with your life wear a lot of suits, too.
What's amazing is how speaking out against something like suit and tie beings out such bile laden responses like Mr. DNS-and-BIND up there, like you've insulted their religion.
I've gotten further in life than most doing my own thing, so I'll stick with it. I certainly don't give a gnat's fart if that gets your or anyone else's feathers in a ruffle.
One place I wish we could stop expecting fancy dress is job interviews. We get these college grads in with fancy suits and ties, and they're in a room with us casual guys asking them questions, and I feel like I'm the only one who sees the societal dysfunction at play. Saw a guy going to interview for a dockwork job in a suit once. WTF? Who decided the suit and tie was the magical norm for... whatever it's supposed to mean? Is part of the whole thing where males tend more toward rigid social structures? Ah, for retirement cabin in the woods...
There's two types of people: those who think there's only two types of people and clear thinkers.:-)
But seriously, stop with these monochromatic views of the world already. It's destroying us as a society.
Most people will fall into both categories on different topics. Sometimes I want the deep knowledge you can only get a from a book with lots of very detailed text and diagrams. Other times, yeah, I want Mythbusters, and anyone who thinks less of me for that is warmly welcomed to piss off and croak.
Ties? Seriously? I'm in charge of multimillion dollar R&D involving stuff that gets shot into space and I wear polo shirts, jeans and sneakers daily. Even customer meetings are just slacks and dress shirts, but I have some awesome space themed ties that I like to wear for those.
People need to wake up and realize "dress for success" was invented by clothing manufacturers.
Yeah, but the act of saying you have some results, but you're not telling anyone yet... eh... just release the results when you have them. And NASA guy *did* say it was going to be the one for the history books. People hear than and don't assume he means "History Of Martian Soil Chemistry, Volume 3".
May not require it, but a lot of those categories (or "categiries" as I originally typed it for unfathomable reasons) drive a lot of active kerfuffle in this world.

Politicians are pro-themselves.
Everything else is bullshit and advertising.

I hope anyone who voted for those two asshats sees the error of their ways, now.
Bah ha ha ha ha! Good one!
Both been in Congress since the last century.
Well, at least it was a bipartisan effort. Um, yay?
Yeah, you can piss off and croak now, KTHX. :-)
Ha!

I knew it would just be dirt. On, sorry, *complex* dirt. And this is from a big space fan.
...but also kind of badass at the same time.
...don't buy them? All I usually get is the premium sound system because aftermarket car audio stuff these days sucks entire barnyards of ass.
Should have bought the ejector seat.

Nope. Did they do that?

Maybe if someone inspires a lot of troll questions, the problem isn't fully with the trolls.
