It's funny how the recipe to fix the economy, that our current leaders are pushing, is by trying to raise productivity and competitiveness, by giving corporations the flexibility to increase working hours without extra compensation for empl

Developed countries have in fact lower birth than death rates. In those countries, population is increasing only by immigration. What stops population growth is political and economical stability, empowerment of women, and education. E.g. c

It is money for time. I'm renting my skills by the hour. If my skills are poor for the job is another issue. And a lot of managers can't distinguish real work from long hours work. Excessive overtime is the way you make a highly skilled pro

I agree with the author. We work to make a living, not live to work. However, he thinks that in Europe there are more human conditions. Well, this is rapidly changing towards the american system. E.g. the bail out for Greece was offered wit

Yes of course, you have to select the battles you'll give. Some kids are more quiet by themselves, you're lucky on that part. Happy parenting.

My kid is in the autism spectrum and we have seen 3 doctors, 2 psychiatrists, 3 ergo-therapists and 2 logo-therapists. They all seem to agree that when a kid cries with no reason (you learn how to distinct that by experience) you just ignor

Your father not handling the situations properly is irrelevant to what the article debates. The key detail here is that French parents aren't actually trying to discipline their kids, they're trying to educate them. They're teaching them to

Just because you mentioned (the totally unnecessary) beating, doesn't rent the rest of your comment false. In case you get a "but beatig is wrong" reply.

Something similar happened to me too. It was a self confidence boost and learned how to be more careful and how to deal with problems without panic. Accidents will happen anyway sooner or later, it's better to have small accidents early and

Kids must experience all kinds of feelings to learn to cope with them. If you always run whenever your kid cries, it will never learn to deal with things alone and it will cry far more often. Also, I believe that your approach is the more c

" They stand there, 20 or 30 minutes waiting for the noisy bus to pick them up, then make 3 or 4 more stops, then drive the quarter of half mile to their schools where they're dumped off." Can't help correlating "sheeple".

Same experience here. And after xfs_repair, still remaining files and directories which couldn't be deleted or moved. The only solution to move the parent folder or reformat. Though performance wise, it was really fast.

A lot of your life is supported by technology, small computers that run some software. If you don't have any control over those devices (e.g. like the iPhone), then a lot of your life is controlled by their creators. Some things you will no

The movie industry is being ran by idiots, that's why. They are ready to kill the internet and free speech because they think this will save them a buck. Anyway, french movies seem more interesting lately. And you can always vote for (with

The number one reason is your second point (without the CG). The problem is that it's total crap. There's lack of content, bullshit scenarios, nothing entertaining. It's not the overuse of CG, but that it's the only thing they're selling an
