Children aren’t bad. Well, I believe that people aren’t bad, behaviors are bad (or, more accurately, maladaptive). But I’m a behaviorist so I know that’s not the prevailing opinion. All I was saying is that children need limits and to have their behavior shaped...

But in failing to tell her you are now responsible for her mistreatment of others. Also, you’re now responsible for all suffering in the world. Sorry.

Honestly, my favorite movie experiences have been people talking during movies. My all time favorite was during X-men first class when (spoiler alert for anyone with absolutely no cultural knowledge) at the end of the movie Xavier gets paralyzed some dude yelled out “Yes!”. I respect your position, I just don’t fully…

Would he not be up for a men’s night (assuming you’re a man, Ben Grimm is not a particularly feminine alias)?

Empathy and manners generally need to be taught, but children can and do learn. I’m glad it only took one session (no extinction burst!), but if it didn’t eventually that process would have worked.

15% was fine then. Not tipping on a discount wasn’t fine then. I remember the 90’s and $1 an hour wasn’t a good wage then. Unless it was the 1790’s, in which case that place was charging way too much. And I said he didn’t fit in with the others and that the tip was understandable. Something can be both understandable…

I agree that he might not fit in with the rest of them. I can understand him not knowing that what he was doing wasn’t great, as opposed to everyone else who really shouldn’t be allowed in society. I just disagree with the notion that it’s not a poor tip. It is. It is an understandable tip, but still poor.

Why stop at terrible? His parents are clearly monsters that would make Pol Pot and Idi Amin recoil in horror. The Hague doesn’t have a category of crimes that would be appropriate for what his parents did.

It’s a subtlety thing, but I’d treat AYCE like a discount or coupon when you can. It’s great that you got it, but you should tip on the (in this case approximate) total without the discount... Now, it’s harder to do on those and it may require some guess work, but it’s still the polite thing to do.

Has anyone out there just refused to go to restaurants with someone? Like sat them down and said something along the lines of, “When we go to restaurants I feel very uncomfortable. I think we have different ideas about tipping and how to treat waitstaff and these ideas are things that I do not feel comfortable…

In fairness, I think he didn’t want to equate them to Calzones, in a similar way that one might not want to equate Pizza Huts bready substance covered with tomato sauce and cheese to a pizza.

I can see the confusion, but it’s actually a typo. What he said was, “I’m a Really Good Customer.” Really Good Customers are a religious group who worship themselves because they are the center of the universe (their devil is Copernicus) and he was just telling them so that they could be significantly awed by his…

Hey, first of all, I disagree with at least one of the posters below. You asked a question and seemed pretty nice about it. So, thank you for being civil. And, on the scale of things, leaving behind some trash at those events isn’t the worst, but it is still polite to clean it up. Think about it this way, these are…

Actually, that doesn’t apply. If you are arguing against someone who says For all X then Y you only have to find one example. So, if I said “Nobody ever gets hit in the head with part of a bat while attending a Boston Red Sox game” you could give me an isolated incident and disprove my case.

I actually think forcing women to wear high heals when they have a doctor’s note saying they shouldn’t may be worse then only hiring based on attractiveness but put that aside. Is your point that we can’t be upset about A because there is a B out there that is worse than A?

I don’t care for Bitcoins. But I will take 350,000,000,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwe dollars.

Your transgender eastern European sex doll is on the way. $10,000 please.

Oh, you would have done that anyways...

Comedians being good at drama isn’t anything new. Lots of comedians are good at drama. Some are so good that you wouldn’t think they are comedians (Richard Belzer for one). The much rarer feat is the Leslie Neilson dramatic actor who is good at comedy.

The XX-minute segment? Did you forget to take out a placeholder?
