Ted's Comments

So we should stop doing those little things? I think they add up to something. And if they make us more aware of what we're doing, isn't that a start?

Whether global warming is man-made or not, we can still see things in this world that are the result of our poor behaviour. We can still fix those, to some extent.

It's nice to be in one of those places when it's not crowded, I'll admit. But his "I was first in 2012" is pretty arbitrary.

I was the first person in the Forum baths at Pompeii one day. I was able to get some nice photos without all those pesky tourists in em. I didn't feel particularly special, though.

Wow, the air of entitlement is stifling in the comments section today.

The only thing wrong with the child-rearing comment is that there are a lot of single parents raising the future workers, inventors, teachers, etc...

Should we take away the preferential tax treatment if you end up raising a future Hitler? lol

Obsession is an apt term. There is a higher proportion of French grammar nazis than there are English grammar nazis.

The English are more forgiving of people who use English idioms incorrectly. Often, the French will tear you a new one if you get it wrong, or simply ignore you.

Again, they're nbot all like that. There's just a higher proportion of nitpickers.

Computer monitoring software? That's almost as bad as filtering, but it's better. I don't think you need a prudish spinster looking over your shoulder. lol

Libraries don't stock porn on the shelves, except for the odd anatomy book. It's not unreasonable to block access to porn on their computers.

What if a really embarrassed teen needs to do research on an STD, and their only internet access is at the library? Would that access be blocked? Sounds like it.
