the jobs that lead to potential upward mobility aren't in Lincoln. Plus, this kind of forward-thinking (incur $15k worth of debt now, pay it off with money saved on rent later) is really difficult for someone like myself who already

What a quote! "women are like cheese, they get blue veins and start to stink." Older women (even ones with children) can be just as beautiful as younger ones. Not with an attitude like that, though.

This is one thing I can't stand about the Bay Area. Roommates are for college kids. It is not normal to be 30 years old, making over 100k, and living with roommates. But everyone I know lives like this, including myself.

Same background here. China, not Moscow or Crimea I worry about the next generation. They say that wealth skips every other generation, because if a child grows up in a well-to-do family, they will not value hard work as much.

The article only says they found a "security risk". I wonder what that is, and how it would allow identity theft if they are actually using public/private keys. Did Estonia secretly backdoor their encryption?

The whole Civil Rights Movement came about as a result of a faction of armed rebellion against the US in the 1960s! I suppose you think it was a mistake to let them have the right to be heard back then?

I'm talking about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. You can discriminate against red-haired people but not black people.
