This is really sad because it's a reflection of the enormous income disparity that North America is experiencing. Being hard up for money, which gives you access to opportunities, will make people do insane and unethical things. These are the symptoms of a much sicker system that isn't working, and unfortunately,…

In excitement I said to Mr. Trickius:

There is.

My bad... I saw the numbers and assumed it was one of those:

What is this from? I recognize it, but can't place it.

And yet this comment isn't grey!

This to me is one of the reasons I am increasingly discouraged from posting replies on here, and I have been a contributor for quite some time now. I often have good things to say, and I will put a lot of thought and time into saying it thoroughly and eloquently.

My solution is to simply not have it in the house. If it's in the house, I know I will eat it. In fact... I will eat it probably the moment I walk in from the grocery store. So I don't buy that shit at all. It has *really* helped with keeping my weight under control.

It wasn't something being taught, but a study to see if people could use AEDs effectively with a new design that had vocal instructions from the machine. My guess is that most people didn't even think twice about it... it was just to determine whether or not you could understand what you needed to do. As far as I…

This is a reflection of the 'male-as-default' problem we have. Males are the regular humans, and females are something else - a special interest. We see it everywhere. Biology text books, instruction images, wikipedia lists etc. etc.

This isn't entirely true. There are studies that show baby-talk is something we innately desire to do because of evolutionary advantages. When you baby-talk, you speak slower which allows for better encoding. You also tend to enunciate more, which ensures the infant is hearing the full word correctly. There is…

Jesus is supposed to be a physical manifestation of God. Hence the Holy Trinity - the father, the son and the holy spirit. While they are separate entities so-to-speak, they are also one and the same.

Is it *really* thinking through your beliefs when you toss out one absurdity and trade it in for another?

In my first year of University, I took a Sociology course with an awesome female Sociology prof.

If their uncle is right, and their actions were motivated by being 'losers' who couldn't assimilate... it deeply reflects immigration problems.

I live in Canada, and one night long long ago (probably around 10 years ago now), I was working in a variety store that was a short distance off a highway that went to Toronto.

This explains so much of my life.

If you aren't trolling, then you're intentionally being stupid. My second comment when you asked me why I was proud, clarifies my point.

Did you read my follow up?

What a shame. This is actually an excellent lesson in teaching children the power of, not only persuasive argument, but how we can literally justify anything we do. It gives them incredibly powerful practice into empathy/stepping into other's shoes/relating to the experiences of others, which promotes a deeper…
