He earned it, and it is important for rich people's kids to earn there own things. After a year of things going well at this school his family can donate the money back.

Civilization depends on delayed childbirth, it really is that simple.

It's all about the integrity of the game. Diablo 2 as a pseudo-MMO was ahead of its time in many ways, but it was not as hack-proof as MMOs that keep most information on the server side.

Law enforcement should be focused on people who assault minors, or sexually exploit minors for financial gain. The idea of going after the consumers has nothing to do with improving justice, it's just a way for the law enforcement industry to expand itself and ask for more funding. It's...

You have to read the situation correctly. If there was already the feeling that sex was a possibility, then playing your cards right and giving her gift could work out. But stating "sex for toys" as a formal trade is never going to work unless the girls are already prostitutes. Although...

No need to put up with a lousy partner, just return to the self-improvement threads and aim for higher standards next time.

One nearly universal thing is to have abdominal and core muscles that are in good enough shape to have sex (can be seen by posture, doesn't mean having a "6-pack").

Extra credits sucks. Also we could just as easily argue that making people wait for DLC reduces pre-owned trade-ins and leads to more new sales.

Yeah I hate it when people can't sit quietly. Usually it seems like they want attention, clearing their throat, tapping with hands and feet, stretching their arms to violate the personal space of people sitting next to them, making audible comments. It also sucks when people go to an event...

I thought you made that claim when you said: "none of them, but that's impossible" in your first post of this thread, I thought that was meant as a response to the OP's question "cognitive biases you do not want to fall victim to?" Whether the entire world corrects its cognitive biases is not...
