    Everyone is polarized and reactionary nowadays. How to fix that?

    There should be another party that rises to power in the US that splits the dems and republicans. Call it the American Party. A labels are lost on this party as its sole puporse is to bolster political candidates versus lifting high its own party's head.

    Brain tumors

    Here is the problem. You think you can make an absolute judgement about who I am as a person because of one statment I make on a forum on the internet. This judgement is unsound; you have no clue who I am. In reality, I am one of the most rational people I know. I don't base my decisions...

    Depends on where you work. If you work in Corperate America and you're being constantly pushed to get stuff out the door quicker... then who cares about what burden you're putting on a boss? Conversely, if you work in a small, tight-knit office, it would be better to be concerned about other...
