It's not only humans. The best way to train a litter of kittens to use a litter box is to leave it up to the mother cat. Catching mice isn't instinctive, it's learned. A cat without a mouser mother will never be a good mouser and likely not a mouser at all.
Regs against lead in paint and gasoline and regs against asbestos aren't protecting us from ourselves, they're protecting us from sociopaths who don't care that their product is deadly. They're not saving us from ourselves, they're saving us from predatory capitalists.
If I were you, I wouldn't consider teaching English.
You have to realize that 96% of people are aliterate, 1% illiterate, and only 3% actually read. When someone says "With sponsorship's so hard to find" you can be pretty sure they never graduated high school and can be certain they never went to college.
Well, sure they do. We have two state fairs in Illinois, plus a fair for every county. It's probably like that in most states, and probably every country has a few good fairs. So I'd say Earth fairs VERY well.
As to the moon, there are no fairs on the moon but it fares pretty well where it's sitting.
Not if you're trying to pick up women. Women want Harleys -- they tell me that a Harley is the world's best vibrator. She'll get her rocks off before she ever gets of the bike.
Only the second coment and it's parrotting "feature". How is this in any way a feature? features help the end user, anything that detracts from the user's experience is either a bug or a design flaw.
This is not a feature, it's a flaw. A really BAD flaw.
(d) we have sadistic urges and enjoy seeing people punished - the Christian right especially likes to see sinners cast out from society it seems;
The "Christian right" are neither Christians nor right. Their views do not in any way reflect what Christ taught. His message was forgiveness, tolerance, and nonjudgementalism. He was decidedly against the wealthy and powerful (which was ultimately what got him executed).
The "Christian right" would be in the crowd screaming "CRUCIFY HIM!!!"
Not all of them have non-skippable ads, in fact the majority of the ones I've bought don't. A tiny few act like I'd want them to act -- as soon as the DVD loads, the movie starts playing. But these are really rare, most annoy me with it going to trailers for other movies, some skippabe and a few not, then an animated menu that takes two minutes to play out before you can select "play" from the menu.
Not according to the lady at the rental store. I'd rented Avatar when it was first out on DVD and the DVD wouldn't play in my player without a lot of freezes, even though the ones I'd bought played flawlessly. The lady at the store said that the rental disks were way more cheaply made than the ones in the stores.
So what is the purpose of a depression? Because that's what would have happened had there not been bailouts. The assholes who ran these companies wouldn't have been hurt, normal people would have.
When Carter era inflation comes back @ 20% per year or more...
I thought I'd never see a worse President than Carter until Bush Mark II came along, but the inflation wasn't Carter's, it was Nixon's and Ford's. Carter's mistake was doing nothing effective to alleviate it -- in fact, doing nothing at all.
As someone already said (maybe in another thread), you DON'T run up huge deficits when you're in boom times. Then is when you conserve (too bad conservatives don't like conserving anything but their own cash) to ride out the bad times. When the bad times come, when revenues are down because nobody is earning any taxable income is when you borrow. Obama HAD to borrow, Bush did not. Don't blame Obama, the fault lies with the worst President in history, the guy who ruined the economy in the first place.
How long does it take to burn down a house? How long to rebuild it? It took Bush eight years to destroy this country, it will be a while before it's fixed.
As to "your retirement and your home", I'm ready to retire in less than two years and the Republicans want to get rid of the SS I've been working for since 1968. As to homes, look at all the homes that have been foreclosed on, thanks to that God damned Bush.
Unless you're being disingenuous because you earn more than $250.000 per year, you're a fool.
So then I'd end up with about 100 "Apps" on my desktop
No, you woudn't need a different app for each site, only the ones that needed security, like your bank. This wouldn't affect going to slashdot or youtube or your local paper.
That's not what he (TFA guy) means by it. He means that rather than typing mybank.com into your URL bar or going to a browser bookmark, the bank has a dedicated program that isn't a browser that resides on your computer that connects to your bank and nowhere else. I might even bank online if they had something like this.
My family, that I was not raised anywhere near, are very conservative and even they say it should be legalized.
Things are finally changing. In 1968 about 12% of Americans were for legalization, today it's a little more than 50%.
What surprises me is that the Republicans say they're for states' rights, how can they say that now when two states just legalized recreational pot use? If they were really for states' rights they would be pushing to abolish federal anti-pot laws. Instead, they'll send in the feds to bust people for doing something that's perfectly legal in that state.

True, but when your kid is covered in blood, your brain isn't at its peak.
There is no such thing as a monopoly, other than the ones that the government creates.
How did the government create the Windows monopoly, then?
Actually, reporting one-self as being "Anonymous Coward"
"One-self"? Don't use a phrase you don't understand unless you're in marketing. It's "one's self".
Small planets don't fair that well

You forget one salient point: they're only ten inches tall.

Why, the General's are already charged. After all, Manning is the General's. Now, the Generals won't get charged, but the General's already have been.
You kids. In my day, we didn't even TRY to write anything until we had stabilized the CRTs and blown out all of the insects from the CPU
What are you talking about, kid? Slide rules had neither CPUs nor CRTs! Sheesh, youngsters...
NOBODY EXPECTS... xkcd!

It's as if they WANT everybody to pirate.
Those who follow chaos don't give a crap about spelling.
Then they don't give a crap about communication either.

All patents older than 20 years should be eliminated
Since patents only last 20 years, all patents older than 20 years have already been eliminated.

Politician's need to learn about the Streisand effect.
Politician's what need to learn? Their staffs? Their wives? Their constituents who seem to have never read a book?
