That is a nonsense argument. By that logic we should let arms dealers sell individuals tanks, missiles, nuclear weapons. Why not? The objects themselves aren't destructive afterall! The reason is because their POTENTIAL is FAR more des

It's BS, this guy is an idiot cartoonist who fancies himself a genius despite his failed restaurant and various public shamings for gross behavior.

He certainly fancies himself as Dogbert. In reality, he's more like the pointy haired boss.

Yeah, right. Because there's nothing more destructive about a semi-automatic pistol than a knife. Hmm...

Statistics? Because every actual statistic shows the opposite. http://www.factcheck.org/2009/05/gun-control-in-australia/

Also bonus points for remarking on his own wealth. Scott Adams seems like the perfect running mate for Trump. Precisely as arrogant, self-involved, and completely unperturbed by a lack of facts to back up his wild conclusions. Not to mentio

It very much depends on where your talents lie certainly. I could not be a nurse, I am squeamish and cannot interact with strangers positively. And so giving is better than doing. But the article expressly recommends people who CAN be nurse

Yeah, then he would've been a terrible nurse instead of standardizing the PC platform on a shoddy OS, creating the notion of "software that gets paid for forever", the windows xp hardware lockout, and ruining the educational

Title was VERY misleading. And that whole earning to give notion is bull. You work at a non-profit or as a social worker and you have a DIRECT impact on people's lives. You donate to a charity and you have no idea where that money goes

So she sells coaching to already successful and wealthy people that amounts to those banners they used to have around my elementary school that said "Attitude is a little thing that goes a long way"? Hooray for snake oil.

This is always an argument in tech. But as has been stated by folks before the easier coding gets, the more ambitious and complex the tasks we attempt to accomplish with it. So the difficulty at the top end never gets any easier just becaus

Sorry, I did not realize it was hard to tell from his original post but he's extremely entitled, rude, and snobbish. He wrote personal attacks against the founder of a company for being late to an event and then complained about his ex

I wouldn't want him as a customer (or anything) either. I regret even reading his posts.
