We are engineers here. And engineers are blunt, don't like bullshit, and will call things out as they see it. --- End quote --- And anyone who thinks differently than you and your mates isn't an engineer, really. Lacks the capacity for logic. Got it. --- End quote --- You are a good example yourself. Instead of softly answering and correcting, that some people might be different, etc, you accused "Dave and mates" for lack of logic. :-DD Because from your point of view it's bullshit and you are blunt. Like Dave said. But do you know what else good engineers have? (in my opinion) Self-criticism, ability to admit mistakes, analysis of other people's opinions (especially if they are overwhelming majority) and the desire to find a solution, a compromise. |

Instead, let's make a two-party political system where the two sides are not premitted to agree on anything other than motherhood and apple pie. |

Gotta run their browser, so that's killed it dead straight off. There's a link right at the bottom of the page to a 'comment extension' which I thought might provide a normal browser with the ability, but it goes nowhere. Not even after allowing Twitter (eh? Is it forcing one to let twitter/facebook/et all track one's browsing?) and associated unblocking. |
