How about trying to create the greatest economy for our children? I care about the poor in China... but only after my own are taken care of. For me, family comes first, and then fellow citizens, and then the rest of the world.

Sorry, but what exactly is sexist about trying to get laid? Not trolling, or sarcastic. It honestly seemed like an event that tried to combine the things that a certain demographic of people like to do into one event. I don't see how differ

I just happen to think there are perhaps more important issues worth focussing on in schools such as materialism, environmentalism, the role of belief and science, what it means to be part of a society, the nature of democracy etc which are

Are these really for coding? I am thousands of miles away from any tech centre, but to me they always seemed like parties and social gatherings. Kinda like a LAN, except the people there enjoy coding more than gaming. That's why it seemed "

Sorry, but what value do publishers provide for _digital_ products? I mean for paperback copies I can understand the value (they will have printers closer to their market for reduced costs, better local promotion etc), but for ebook version

It's a matter of taste but where I'm from I think most people would consider 'To Kill a Mockingbird' "let's-not-offend-anyone drivel", then again I can see how in the US it would be more poignant than in countries with less history of racis

Actually that seems like a good analogy. If you have a $800 coffee machine but are serving it to people who won't appreciate it, it's going to waste. I've heard HR people asking about how to attract top talent when all the company does is b
