I don't see how this is a valid argument against anything that I have said. I can argue that many people could have been even more highly regarded who were born in the US if we concentrated on the problems within the…
>124,000 people applied for the combined 85,000 So if we gave them all Visas - we'd be good for less than two weeks? Sounds like a bigger problem here. On a related note, how many highly skilled and educated people live…
Do you use soap to wash your hands? or just rinse them off with water (especially if you happened to get a little on you)? Do you then pick up your chicken wings or pork ribs with your butt cheeks and stick them into…
If a christian run organization fired an employee (lets not kid ourselves here, Eich was fired) because they paid $1,000 to support gay marriage, how dramatically would the reaction differ from this situation? Why the…

Congrats Apple for all your achievements. It is amazing what can be accomplished when you employ Chinese Engineers and manufacturers who's tech espionage (they steal trade secrets) is one of their best known…
>Virtual Reality is going to change the world Just like 3D televisions/displays did? I have heard this for over a decade and I am still not convinced.
What he did is support the disagreement that what is now considered a "right" by an increasingly liberal society was indeed a "right". What is wrong with this? Liberals and gays need to realize that they are often…
This seems pretty unpopular PG , and it seems to have a lot of pitfalls and things that you have overlooked. How about making it so that people can opt into seeing the pending comments (so to them everything is as it…
Silence those with opinions that are not popular. Even if their points are valid, censor them. how many innocuous comments (ones that may not be quite worth an up-vote, yet add a sprinkle of thought) will be lost…
Two reason that I can guess (before reading any comments or the article). 1. More energy is lost the wider the loop is. This is because on a truly round loop, the cars would be pushing hard against the widest part of…
>Phillip K Dick was a anphetamine abuser (which no one advocates), but incredible writer. I would never dare suggest someone limit their potential if there are options they can reasonably try. This is very telling and I…
>I think you're hinging a lot on this incredibly faulty belief: First of all, this is not MY belief alone. It is listed among the side effects on the side of the box. Further studies have pretty much conclusively agreed…
>You mean like HIV/AIDs, cancer, autism, epilepsy? Of course there aren't side effects if you aren't treating. I can see that you cannot even reason logically and understand simple comparisons. No comparison can be made…
>Medieval Christian scholars were faced with a dilemma: their religious beliefs required them to believe that the soul was saved through a relationship with Jesus, yet going through the newly discovered Greek and Roman…
>Cheating in academia is exactly the same as piracy: It is a service problem. If classes taught useful information/skills in a non-boring way, cheating would be significantly reduced. This is true, but only for certain…
Perhaps you should move then. You are free to do that after all. Move or learn to live frugally. Many people cannot afford a house/family until they get married and combine incomes.
>Society will inevitably return to its nuclear family origins, as the fun loving singles will not provide offspring in quality and quantity to compete with these traditional families. On two conditions only. Much of our…
The slippery slope is obvious. More and more people today are put on drugs to deal with problems that used to be dealt with naturally and without side effect. Secondly, more and more average people who don't really need…
>Physical work isn't necessarily easier for those with ADHD than desk jobs. In high school and college I had some physical jobs. Those jobs are often menial, and the monotony and repetition are really the opposite of…
You have to draw a line somewhere don't you? otherwise we've eventually got Gattica. Does wearing glasses modify the logical center of your brain like Ritalin? How about we start genetically engineering humans to be…
Visas? you are talking about bringing in people from other countries to start companies here right? Is this because there is not enough founders born in the US? Wow, I go to a coffee shop in bay area and everyone there…
Modern civilization has certainly invented ADHD. It used to be that if you had ADHD, you probably weren't a banker, lawyer or politician. You certainly would not work in a cubicle and rot away all day. You also lived 15…
For every one of you who takes the meds route, there are others who change careers, jobs, or learn exercises and methods to stay on task better. This has been the traditional way to deal with these problems. I am not…
