News Breaking Down the 2016 POTUS Race Contenders & Issues
Saw the Hillary-Sanders debate. It's sad that their debate was much more akin to a Republican debate than the earlier more civil debates they had. It was heavy in anger, personal attacks, finger pointing and blaming. Also heavy on bragging about whose winning in the polls. Light on actual...- jduster

What problems will Millennials leave to their children?
Each generation left behind their own mess. The Silent Generation left behind a legacy of racism, bigotry and unflinching suburban values. The Baby Boomers left behind lots of greed, debt, a housing crisis and education bubble for us. What will we leave to our kids, any guesses? Potential...- jduster

Is It Acceptable to Avoid Social Interaction Entirely?
And overreaction award of the year goes to. I'm an Aspie and I'm not offended by the Big Bang Theory. And people I know who aren't Aspies have told me that they like Sheldon and yeah, he's a rather positive portrayal. Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law- jduster

Is It Acceptable to Avoid Social Interaction Entirely?
I have Aspergers as well and I totally understand where you are coming from. IMO, the easy way out is not the best solution in the long run. I've been rejected, outcasted, bullied, defriended, been given weird looks, gone through lots of friendships, gotten in nasty arguments and so on. In...- jduster

Have men been priced out of the dating market?
This, pretty much. Justify it however you want, OP, but there are plenty of middle to lower class men who end in relationships with beautiful women. It's just you. Also, real life is much different than online dating, OP.- jduster

What should I do if a girl suddenly stops replying on Facebook?
IMO, you should have just asked for her phone number at some point, which is much better than being just a buddy in a sea of a thousand facebook profiles. Lots of times, there are brief friendships and acquaintanceships where both people are simply interested in talking, but at some point one...- jduster

Is withholding information lying?
i think at this point. just keep your mouth shut. as long as you leave your past behind and you don't cheat again, it shouldn't be too bad. not as bad as wearing a scarlet letter around your neck.- jduster

How do you resist the temptation to date?
the problem could be that you don't talk to enough girls. so if you don't talk to or meet a lot of girls, it's much easier to get your heart invested in one. i'd say just talk to like like 10, 20 maybe 30 more girls just to put it in perspective on how small and insignificant she (or any...- jduster

Schools Are big name schools really that different?
Not to sound like a cynic, but I do think there is a degree of status and politics in all of this.- jduster

Psych and Social sciences are the harder science
Psychology and social sciences still aren't hard sciences due to the former's enigmatic nature and the latter's subjectivity. You can use as many objective means you want to test things, but if they are unobjectifiable, it doesn't matter.- jduster

Why is technetium the only unstable element in its group?
I've viewed lots of questions on the internet of this nature and almost all of them dodged the question or simply gave an answer tantamount to "because it is". I already know that Technetium is unstable and radioactive. What exactly on an atomic level prevents Technetium from being stable...- jduster
