Personally, I would like to be "competent" than "competitive".

That's the first time I've heard of that term (and the reason why I came over in this forum). Guess I'll just follow the link if I am to have some information.

Not everyone can choose their epitaph, liberal or not.

Evil is a broad term, just as 'good' is. Can it be more specific?

Yes, and that report had to choose the "anal stage". From that point on I didn't even consider considering it.

Same problems? Same mindsets.

Fire could be taken as "bad" too. We just need to learn how to contain it and use it properly without loss of life and limb (metaphorically).

I'm not so much into the games themselves, but the movies of WarCraft from beginning to end are just *epic*. And I don't really use the word epic.

Did you hear about the one where scientists turned vodka into diamonds?

Windmills that big are meant for open spaces, not residential front yards. I hear there's a portable version available, kind of a machine more than a stereotype windmill, but it does the job.

Oh, I thought your project is the one that sucks. Followed your link; seems like a nice counterpoint to Disneyfied notions about formal education. I have nothign against education myself but this age's formal ed is just so draining at times. I mean, did Solomon go through standardized formal ed? Did Aristotle? Did Newton? And why don't we see the likes of these men today if formal ed is so great?

Internet access is just like other material things - one needs to master it, and not be its slave.

This so nicely lifted up my mood for the day. Thanks for posting this. I like the music that adds flavor to the penguin's actions. Can you post some more?

As in everything, there should be a balance between expressing one's self and trodding on another's beliefs just for the sake of exercising your right.

I've heard of pilots complaining of a similar problem: an automated "co pilot" who tells them what to do and where to go. Somehow none of the pilots seem happy with the arrangement.
