It's cheaper just to:
1) wear shorts;
2) take a Hershey bar out of it's wrapper and tuck it inside your underwear.
As it slowly melts throughout the day, and chocolate oozes down your leg, other customers don't want to stand next to you in line for 2 hours. They'll leave and come back to that ride later.

This also ensures your own private log on the water ride.

The room is filled with some weird dust that make people lose memory that the place ever existed... just watch, this place will be rediscovered again next year.

Somebody call Secret Service Agents Myka Bering and Pete Lattimer from Warehouse 13, I think we might have an artifacts in that room.

I don't think you can blame the internet any more than you can blame robots, outsourcing, deregulation, consolidation, or other particular thing. They all come together to ensure that we need fewer people to get all the work done. That's the problem that keeps people unemployed.

What we need is an entirely new system that takes excess people out of the workforce without making them poor. One thing we are doing is extending education later into adulthood, but at an enormous cost. We could also have people retire earlier, but we'd have to support them. Or we could have everyone work part time, less than 40 hours a week. The only problem with any of those ideas is that money would have to redistributed so that everyone could have a decent income, even in the times that their labor is not required for the continuation of society.

Isn't it amazing how focused Christians are on sex. I don't remember reading anything about Jesus getting all stirred up over obscene graffiti, or porn, which any child could have seen.

Men feel shame because they feel they must live up to a certain gender role in order to be attractive to women, but I call bullshit on women actually enforcing it to any substantial degree. Often, we have our own conclusions about what others think and feel and project those conclusions onto the actions of others.

Tabasco is for Bloody Marys... not Mexican food. Try some El Yucateco for the real stuff... or just purreed green chili. Salsa is something else (uncooked)... chile macho is something else again (cooked). Tabasco on Mexican food is a crime against humanity.

Yes it is an interesting condition, however the fact that she was 5 years old and got pregnant is not. The only thing I thought of after the brief moment of "wow that is interesting" was followed by a quick, "who the hell was it that had sex with that 5 yr old girl?!" Sheesh...

I think there's a lot of appeal to natural childbirth (or natural anything, for that matter). But I'm with you, John. My wife gave birth to our three children at a local hospital not because what medicine could offer a normal childbirth, but what medicine could offer if a normal childbirth went wrong.

And THAT'S a good point Jill....Just because a woman is dressed up as cosplay with revealing clothing, it doesn't necessarily equate her with a bar hopping whore that has no scruples.Guys are wrong for making that assumption if they do.Interesting how people will just jump to that conclusion......where they assume that a woman has no morals just because of the way she is dressed, she might just be trying to capture the essence of the character she is trying to emulate as accurately as possible. Thanks for helping me see that.

And yeah....I think if guys are going to actively seek out going to these conventions, they should understand that women dressing as their fav character might result in extra skin being shown.If they can't handle that, then maybe they need to consider not going if it bothers them that much.

Thanks for the dialogue.Very interesting.

The Wall Street Journal printed her piece because her sister works for them. A stunning bit of irony considering her claims of being "disadvantaged."

I'm just happy for the school that didn't let this smug, arrogant child into their doors. This is the kind of student college faculty despise, the kind that will do anything to foist the blame on anyone but themselves, and who feels that they are the exception to every rule because "don't you know how special/important they are?"
Good for that school. She's horrible.

That was so vicious, it could almost be classed as hate speech. On second thought, it is.
Never been a fan of affirmative action lowering the bar for select demographics, but wow. She has a huge chip on her shoulder.

Blaming everybody else for your problems is a teenage girl thing, I guess, but I get the feeling her parents were maybe more indulgent than neglectful.

I'm curious why the Wall Street Journal would allow something that hateful to be printed.

She's a bigot, and spoiled to boot. She just oozes entitlement. Just being smart, pretty, young and white (not to mention apparently being able to afford an Ivy League school) are not enough for her? She makes me sick.

I went to a very respected public school, and went through the college admission process a few years ago. What I think a lot of kids forget is when they apply to schools like Dartmouth or Harvard, BC, or Bates, they're not applying to just a school. They are applying to a private business. I was 'diverse', had great grades, blah blah, but it's not because of those reasons that any school owed me anything.
I definitely find her bitter. Rejection isn't a new thing, and those that are rejected by colleges just need to deal with it.

The real truth here is that she lacked connections. Networking is what makes America go around these days. Connections are what lands you a $150k a year job. Hard work rarely does it anymore.

Call me jaded, but I can just about guarantee that if I were to apply to my company today that I would not be hired with the experience that I started with when I was hired many years ago. It's a sad state of affairs, but dad knowing Fred who plays poker with Joe on Thursday is what gets little Johnny his nice cushy job, not little Johnny having any sort of real experience or usefulness.

How about learning to enjoy life while you're young enough to enjoy life? If you don't get into college, remind yourself that most of the world's most successful and wealthiest people dropped out of college anyway.

I can see a lot of value from fast food jobs and similar work: diligence, getting along with people different from you, teamwork and how to get that toilet really clean.
