    No more welfare for drug users

    Depends on the chemical. If it's C8 H10 N4 O2, then sure, I have no issue. If it's C17 H21 NO4, then nope, not a chance.

    True, his notes should say "sudo chmod 740 junk" rather than "chmod: 740 junk" :giggle:

    As far as personal involvement, basically none. I had a very lucky childhood and I saw rather little to "rebel" against. I suppose the closest "rebellion" I've participated in was the rejection of the belief systems my parents raised me in, but that's a very low-cost form of rebellion, so I...

    Also, Reba, I have about 1/2 a reply to your last long post addressing me, but it's on my computer at work, so I'll address the points you raised tomorrow morning.

    Yet another chiming in. Handwriting being difficult for someone is not an especially uncommon problem. The government is people. This is a local school board making this decision. It's not a massive conspiracy, the government isn't an evil conglomerate, this is just people saying "Eh, this...

    Can't Keep Your Pet?

    I still go semi-regularly with the hopes that I can make a tiny portion of their day very very slightly less miserable. I was confused, though - are there shelters that are run for-profit, like the original post (seemed to) claim? Around here, all of the shelters are run by the SPCA, who (as...

    Teacher Accused Of Having Sex With Boy

    The issue isn't with teacher/student sex, but with adult/minor sex. Though I'm confused why this year-old topic got revived. For those claiming that it shouldn't be punished - if the situation was reversed, and it was a male teacher and a female student, would you also say it shouldn't be...

    Oh dear god, seriously, the "enlarge and enhance"?

    You mean like this? But in seriousness, generic "rebellion against the man" is a privilege you can only afford if you're already lucky enough to already not be reliant upon "the man" (be it the government or large corporations or whatever the bogeyman of the day is) for your survival. And...

    No disagreement with that here. But quite honestly? I can't think of a single solution that would actually work. If you make the things that are necessary for a comfortable life (shelter, food, etc) cheap enough that all people don't have to rely upon having a job to afford them, then nobody...

    You got any music in background? Go to jail!

    It's not so much that bittorrent (which is a technology, not a site - The Pirate Bay hosts bittorrent files - think of it like "CDs" and "Barnes and Noble" - one is a type of thing, the other is a place you can get it from) found a loophole to get around to law as it found a way to share that...

    See, this attitude, this is what I disagree with. You're taking this as basically an attitude of "this is hard, we want it to be easier for our kids, so we just won't make them learn it". And yeah, I've seen that attitude in education as well, and that I strongly disagree with. I just don't see...

    Yeah, video games can help hone generic motor skills, but specifics, such as "having legible handwriting" probably need actual practice with writing to get any decently, since legible handwriting requires more than just motor skills. I was just suggesting video games if handwriting was being...

    Do we have a challenge ahead of us to avoid becoming Hearing?

    I just sent a PM and pointed to the "What ticks you off about Hearies?" thread as an answer to the question asked.
