So, you get to call me a bigot with no information?

And since you can’t come up with another explanation I’ll stick with the theory that covers the facts.

I’ll take your opinion for what it’s worth.

Do you have any proof that the article is flawed? If not, do you have another theory for why this is true?


Another name for the ‘nothing box’ is ‘be still for hours and wait for that deer to come by so I can kill him.’

What women have is the ‘is this mushroom poison? How about that one? That berry, is that okay?’

It’s been proven women see a greater range of colors, because women were more likely to gather food.

You should totally watch it if only for the sexy slave girl dance and the part where Charlton Heston fights the lizard people.



“Learned helplessness” is a good way to describe it. We keep people in bubble wrap until they are 21 and then suddenly expect them to be fully functional adults.

There can be no progress without struggle, and we make it hard for people to grow when we deny them the chance to make mistakes and get hurt.


I think of it this way. A cave dweller could figure out which rock would make the best blade; then shape a blade from that rock; then go out into the wilderness with no directions to hunt dangerous prey; then stalk and kill a wild animal; then safely return through those unmarked woods; then create a fire to cook the food.

I know modern folks who have cut themselves opening a can of soda and gotten lost on a highway with three GPS systems to guide them.


[off topic?]

New York City is moving away from people paying for subway/bus rides with a pre-paid card or cash and going to a system where you pay with your credit card or smart wallet. Nice way to quietly monitor everyone’s location and habits.




Then I’ll explain it.

Laws decide what large companies can and can not do to gather data. Politicians decide those laws. Who you vote for decides what policies are enacted. If the current parties aren’t working to help you, you might have to go out and search for better candidates.

If you’re not American, substitute any pro-Fascist candidate you choose for ‘Donald Trump.’


If voting doesn’t matter, why is Trump so mad about automatic voter registration?

You not voting makes Donnie and his friends happy.


In 1968, a bunch of hippies opened up a ‘Dick Gregory for President’ office. They had enough money for the first month’s rent and phone, and figured that they would make a small impact. Somehow, someone kept paying the office rent and phone for months.

You not voting is exactly what the people you hate want you to do.


The would candidates care if people bring up the issue.

If lots of people let their voices be heard, the pols will listen.

You can wait around for the perfect candidate to come along, or you can work to make the change happen.



My point would be that the poster is going to a university that has access to all their records, plus they are still part of their parents’ data.


Remember the one where they elected a TV clown to run everything?

That show is out of date.
