That isn’t the problem - the problem with your post is that you’re ignoring the inherent advantages a person has when he or she grows up rich/middle class over a poor person.

Let us ignore the “exceptional” scenarios that you’re referring to even though they aren’t really that exceptional - just that they don’t happen…

Not sure how I was being ‘asshole’...

While this may be true and laudable, the problem with some ‘liberals’ - I hate labels btw - is that they don’t go that extra step and question everything. If you think through the rationale behind the whole concept of ‘God’ and religion, it just unravels before your eyes.

Few cities?!! It happens in all major cities. The villages lack power anyway and I’m an Indian btw. You’re a moron.

There has to be a law of the universe you’ve just broken. I am as die hard of a Holmes fan as you can find - books + series. Jeremy Brett is the best with Cumberbatch a close second and Downey Jr is an abomination.

Now, I have really tried to watch Elementary for the first 3-4 seasons and I found it little more than…

This is so silly. India still does intentional power cuts to conserve power and you think it is just a matter of plugging into a bunch of outlets.

If you want to name great female writers, you can do a lot better than Rowling. Harry Potter was good at capturing the minds of young kids but as a literary work, it is drivel. Might as well talk about Franklin Dixon or Carolyn Keene...

Even a broken clock has the right perspective twice a day - I’m not sure this is representative of anything. A truly rational person could get to the same conclusion as this man without the same mental gymnastics.

I think the biggest pirates are probably high-school and college kids who can’t really afford games and have too much time on their hands. At least I hope so...

Hyatt Places look so dated. Hyatt should really upgrade those properties - it’s a real black mark on their brand.

I think his point is that you *can’t* be truly vegan. It’s an easy way out for carnivores - all food kills animals/insects in some way or other, so why should we feel guilty about caging a few billion and eating them. :)

I don’t have a bone in this argument one way or the other - it’s a much more complex issue than…

You’re a giant - buy first class.

If it’s anything like the trailer, it should be f-ing hilarious. I liked Ted a lot. So, while I am a huge fan of Yes Minister and Blackadder, I enjoy the occasional Family Guy and Ted movie too.

Wait - is that $565?!!

Wait - is that $565?!!

Are you sure? Read the quote again: "if your standard of happiness is that you're always happy... [you] need a reality check" - he seems to be telling innately happy people that they need a reality check.

"Chances are you know someone who always appears to be super happy regardless of circumstances or situation. But they might be putting up a false front."

And, I get the award for ignorant comment of the day. Thanks for enlightening this dumbarse.

This has to be the dumbest idea for a shelf. If anyone accidentally puts phones, credit cards, or USB drives on it, they flirting with disaster.

BTW in the links you posted - the last link regarding 'building more muscle' applies to *all* milk not just high fat milk.
