It works the same way with anorexics as with obesity: there's probably nothing you or anyone else can tell a person that'll fix it.
That doesn't mean what they're telling them is wrong. More likely the people being told don't listen to the advice and act on it. People want easy solutions, or easy excuses for not finding solutions.
There's enough wittering going on in the office already, thanks.
Of course, it seems you'll have the advantage of not having to tell it to switch to uppercase no i meant put the letters in uppercase not the word quote uppercase quote shift shift er fuck hey Joe what is it for uppercase huh was that caps lock YOU SAID OK THANKS NO DELETE DELETE THAT.
I think you're being just a little bit unfair to Best Buy here. Staples has had "Easy Rebates" for awhile now and they really are a hell of a lot easier.
Someone says Best Buy's rebate system is crap, and you counter by saying that someone else's is OK?
I'm not trying to justify the British invasion of Ireland
Good idea, since it never happened. The Normans, after invading England, went on to Wales and Ireland (they missed out on a Grand Slam due to Bannockburn). The "British", in any meaningful form that we would recognise today, simply did not exist at that time.
"A united, socialist Ireland" is a religious cause? Better edit the dictionary too. That's making the assumption that they aren't merely another organised crime syndicate like the Triads, Mafia etc in the first place.
Public Schools aren't a failed system, over all it's a very successful system, look at the high school graduation numbers now compared to 50 years ago
You are either implying that high graduation rates occurs if and only if schools are better (which is not conclusive for the reasons I and others have said) or you're running two unrelated concepts together in one sentence which implies that only do you struggle with reading comprehension, you can't write either.
it is still just as difficult to read modern english[1] as it ever has been.
Hmm, you seem to be living proof of that. Explain again what that has to do with the possibility that pass rates can be improved by lowering standards.

>>Education is not a right,
I simply disagree. K-12 education should be a right. All of society suffers if its taken away from people. Shall we keep the poor stupid?
Just because all of society suffers if it's taken away doesn't imply that education is a right.
What it does imply is that it's a bloody good idea to keep it, though. I don't know what kind of society dada21 advocates, but when he says things like hard work is more important than education (what kind of job can an illiterate person get in the modern world?) I get the impression it's at best Victorian and at worst medieval. With him as a Lord or Toff, obviously.
In this case it's "$foo... on a mobile phone", but same diff.
Yup. Just as white is the new black and comedy is the new rock & roll, mobile phones are the new internet. Say, maybe I could patent jokes of the form "X - it's the new Y"?
maybe the inquiry was done at the doors of a church
More likely a mosque. Firstly, UK churchgoers aren't as fundamentalist as US ones. Secondly, you'd get very bored in the time it took to get 2000 churchgoers...
I very much dount that many people asked about ID actually knew what it really is
If this came from the BBC, I doubt that that the people writing the survey knew what evolution is. The survey question probably said "Do you believe we are descended from chimps?".
I bet less than 17% will give you anything approaching what the proponents of this idoicy are spouting.
Grab 2000 random statistics off of teh intarwebs, I bet 37% were made up on the spot.
If you'd had monarchs like James II and Mary, you'd probably ban Catholics from the throne too.
At least we don't have a birth restriction, unlike some countries. I don't really understand that - surely if, for the sake of argument, an Austrian gets the most votes[1] that's the will of the people.
The problem with Socialism is that the government needs lots of money to spread around to those who are not willing or able to work.
I don't have a problem with supporting those who are unable to work; it could happen to any of us. What I do have a major problem with is supporting - at a pretty comfortable level - those who can't be bothered to.
Kids ring up a few grand on a credit card right out of college because they want stuff and they want it now. Then their $12-an-hour job doesn't afford them the lifestyle they want with the credit card bill and all, so they work long hours to make more money to live better. They get more money and their credit card company raises the credit limit, which is promptly used buying more stuff. But now the bill is higher, so they have to work harder still to get back to the fun lifestyle again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat for 40 years.
Just clarify - are you saying this is a good thing?
Sorry, if he came to my store or home and asked for money, he'd get his cash in lead.
You talk a good fight. Whether you'd be so brave when actually staring at the business end of a gun, particularly if the perp has cought you by surprise, is a different question.
if you allow guns to be sold to anyone, and the majority of people are peaceful, law abiding, life-andproperty rights respecting people, then it's a win.
I'm inclined to think that the probability of different types of people using them should be factored into your profound analysis, somehow.

Expecting businesses to tell the truth. Hmm... sounds dangerously close to communism. Thought I'd say it before this asshat says it (and means it).
At least I the verb at the end of the sentence remembered to put.

And the same to you, with knobs on.

Think your theory is based on a false assumption.
At least we don't have a birth restriction, unlike some countries. I don't really understand that - surely if, for the sake of argument, an Austrian gets the most votes[1] that's the will of the people.
