Hm! True. There's no substitute for knowing things and I mean science. I mean there's no alternative to science.You know it makes me really lose interest when they say, "and if that doesn't seem to help any, you can double the dose." Why not eat the whole thing at once? Why don't I take them all? Or, I think I'll just drink the entire bottle? Cause you're wasting my time with this feeble substance, aren't you? Drs. are sometimes total jerks but most of them really want to help and I find that something that is so marvelous. I sure am talking too much about this.

Does the person who's criticising him have any prestige? Otherwise forget it. Cause that person's a loser, period. Probably has no money. His wife is ugly! Who'd sleep with her??

Because sometimes I don't check flagged comments every day, especially when we're short-staffed (Rebecca had been out, is now back). You're not in trouble; it's just a reminder!

I also was confused, but I shall not transgress again.

I did as you kindly requested and I'm guessing its rule 2 that you are alluding to?

Just so you know, my comment was kind of a riff on MMA fighting but looking back I can see that people took it to the wrong place.

I am sort of curious why you are reviewing this after 4 days?

I really didn't mean that as a diss, state schools are AWESOME and a hugely great thing and powerful force and upward mobility in America in the 20th century and beyond.

Hey, I went to a posh private NYC art school, it cost me a fortune and took decades to pay off, and all I got was the prestige of the name! Seriously, that's ALL I got. They were useless in helping me with anything else, they suck. I have such regrets. I wish I had made a better choice , but when you're seventeen, you don't know better. You don't know anything, really. State schools are awesome, and i would love to see higher education become a norm again in the United States, affordable and accessible to all. It's a shame that it isn't already. Once, that seemed possible and desirable. What happened? I guess in the 80s Republicans decided to kill that ideal, with prejudice. And that continued into these days, Scott Walker in Wisconsin. A place where available higher education was once free or affordable. The R's killed that dead, and we are all the worse for that.

It was really terrible that Barack said terrible thing about ISIS-recruiting rhetoric, but it was even more terribler that he was the FOUNDER of ISIS.

"Inadequate forest management" will be scary code from now on.

"There is no winning this "going high" game."I agree. But do we know for sure we'd win by going low? Believe me, I *want* to go low; I also *want* to eat an entire bucket of fried chicken by myself. Doesn't mean I should, dig?
