Father of 3's Comments

Frankly, it's a stupid article, and it is wrong.
It's not stealing, it's a drag. You're in a public space and you're going to have to put up with some inconveniences. I carried my children out of restaurants and other places when they don't behave: If I have paid a few hundred bucks for a plane ticket - and I need to get home - that is not an option.
Two and three-year old children sometimes freak out when they don't get their way or when they are tired.
I used to give people dirty looks and I would think to myself "control your child." Then I had kids who would throw (not often) tantrums.
Kids act like that because they are trying to get something - attention or something more specific.
One of the ways of stopping the tantrum is by giving them what they want, which reinforces the behaviour which means it will happen more often.
Ignoring the tantrum means it will stop and reduces the chance of it happening again.

What proof is there that this guy was ever smart? Is there any greater sign of stupidity than believing an IQ test accurately measures intelligence?
He claims he broke into his school and changed the marks on his permanent record from straight As to a C average! Right!
He goes back to high school four times over.
This guy is a reject from Napoleon Dynamite.

The reason Pythagoras told his followers to "abstain from beans" is that certain beans can be toxic when consumed raw. There is an inherited condition known as "favism" that can result in nerve damage, coma and even paralysis when beans are consumed. It is more common in people who live around the Mediterranean.

Greed is perfectly capable of ruining nations. The Ron Paul Libertarians who think the free market will solve everything are idiots.
Credit default swaps are what is bringing down AIG, and they are the perfect example of pure "free market" ideology in practice: unregulated financial instruments.
The idea that just letting people fail means the debt will "disappear" is a fallacy. Somebody holds that debt, including people who thought they were making low-risk investments in reputable banks.
There is an idea here that virtuous companies are being punished while bad companies are being rewarded. When a financial bubble breaks it takes down good and bad alike.
The AIG bonuses stink, but people should take a deep breath and be rational about the situation.
