BB, being a long reader and everything of your post, but I have to ask when have you met his entourage? Seeing he is a kid from the Northeast and Harvard and your life have been largely in the middle of the state, I have doubts that you have ran into each other. But, hey, I would imagine it...

I have heard about how he acted like an demanding ass to his employees and his arrogance, but it doesn't sound any worse than a demanding boss. I don't know about the screwing of partners, but I doubled check about his leaving of his wife and daughter to welfare, because that's really messed...

I know I know, I'm just trying to simplify it as possible. My main point is the rate of new, effective treatments have slowed despite the increase of rate of new findings, a large part of it is from how we set our incentives in favor of incremental research over research may produce a more...

Off topic, but I feel that I have to chime on this that there's more forces at work to why we haven't cured cancer yet. Some media and started to noticed this with a big article noticing how the rate of finding new drugs have tricked while the rate of discoveries of proteins that can be...

I'll chime in a little here. Democracy does not mean you don't serve your country and expect the country to serve you. That logic is part of what led to the so many entitlements. There's a role in government to give some safety nets to keep starvation and limit poverty, but so many just...

So you saying your past experience of finding girls who made the act of making suitors wait never hold consistent, it really just mean she's just not that into him. I'm behind too many years to agree or disagree on that. I know some girls or girlfriends of some guys who made some wait. I...

This had be a thought for me too. Let me throw this post by Roissy (This can be see as a partial counter to RT's link). http://roissy.wordpress.com/2010/09/16/why-sluts-make-bad-wives/ Of course, it is about Marriages, but my understanding that the above should have some bearing to LTR...

RT, you make a good point, though uncomfortable, AD is pretty well reasoned. There's some flaws, overall, the reasoning is valid. At the same time, it doesn't help that if you skim through his blog, you'll find that he really does hate many groups: STEM people, scientists, academia, MBAs...

When that Rational Male website still existed, there was discussion of the blogger Advocatus Diaboli and his extoll on escorts and and its benefits. On his blog and on the blog In Mala Fide, he makes some well-reasoned, though at times still flawed advocacy towards escorts versus traditional...

I want to state first that length of friendship doesn't really matter that much. It is just a bad assumption of 12 years of friendship = stronger, closer bond. Time does factor on a significant level, such as you can't have that strong or close from a guy you only know for a month. But a 12...

This topic will have to be moved. I know. But let it be here for a time to ensure the people I want to ask to read this. Recently, I started reading In Mala Fide. One of the latest posts talks about the book “The Four Hour Workweek.” I have heard of that book before, but I never gave it much...

I know that type of texting is common and it's not like I never been lazy in my writing before, but for some reason that grammar makes me want to punch babies. I like how your response is so well-written.

I have to give a voice of dissent on that. For me, he equivalent to x00 x01 of your classes is the honors/AP classes vs College Preparatory/Standard. Let me tell me you, despite the extra homework, there's no way I would give it up to be in Standard/College Preparatory (yes, for some, CP is...

RT, I have a feeling you are making this thread for a reason more than just wondering how many would of us take the chance to be a caricature "nice guy" if possible. Just a hunch of my understanding of your style.

^^^Just to put it out. I believe the reasoning you're required to take such classes outside your major is (originally) for the ideal of "Liberal Arts." A person coming out of college should know not just their profession, but have a reasonable understanding of mathematics, language, and other...
