   The war on drugs has very little to do with drugs so this is a bad analogy. So long as you are white and don't look poor you can do whatever drugs you want and the law won't get in your way. I have literally done a bump of K with

   I think it's more base than this; in order to be valued you have to be seen as useful. This is only somewhat related to being actually useful. Workers who haven't drunk the company Kool-Aid have realized that their own personal va

    My manager does this for me and I adore him for it. I can just talk about myself with normal human words and he'll come back with it all written up in business-speak.

    So what are the eat-your-vegetables sorts of news because I can't think of a time that news news has been relevant to my life -- "staying on top of current events" has only ever benefited me making small talk at parties. The

    I feel like it's a weird question that really wants you to say who but the situations where it's actually better is vanishingly small. If you want to be a professional musician you're way better off having a large fanbase mak

    I think the issue with this kind of argument is that we are paying for it right now. That money doesn't come from nowhere, the roads are paid for by the property and gas taxes of those burbs. There's no substance to this plan othe
