Forum: Forum where posted Thread: Unpaid Work For The Unemployed Message #: 114 I haven't been following the topic closely, but this message strikes me as a lot of "food for thought". My short version interpretation of it: "Not everyone is going to be highly trained and highly experienced, but they still need to have a job". Or something like that. Moose

Seconded.
Direct quote from the father, "the world does not owe you a living, it owes you the opportunity to make a living." Wish I could elaborate more, grad school just keeping me too busy, maybe when I get some free time.Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

Author: Dr. Adequate
Forum: Coffee House Thread: A test of your common sense Message #120 Look, I honestly don't know how he does it. Its a gift I suppose. He has a special way of presenting his thoughts, his ideas, his vision, with such a conservation of energy and effort. He is like the Green source of public thought-he can express himself without any expenditure of organic usage whatsoever. He conserves all of the bio-mass on the planet, by speaking without the waste of converting food into metabolism. He is like a petrified rock, waxing philosophically about the Peripatetic school of Aristotle. Please don't ask me how. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Made link message specific.

Although Dr. A's reply is factually accurate, pithy and correct in its assessment of your post, I do not feel it quite meets Dr. A's normal high standards.
Therefore, although I commend you on suggesting such a consistently good poster for PotM, I do not support your nomination of that particular post. CRYSTALS!!

Well Panda, I respectfully disagree. Let's see you write a post without using a single part of your brain's activity whatsoever. Its not that easy.

I know it is no longer June, but since there is no July thread yet.
Author: Dr. AForum: Coffee House Thread: German judge rules child circumcision as child abuse. Message: 405 I have always wished for the ability to craft an argument as clear and as biting as Dr. A. I can only compare you to one other person who's words cut so well and that is Christopher Hitchens. I hope that is a compliment to you. You seriously should write for print.
