“On a personal level, the expectation of easy riches combined with a sense of absolute entitlement indicates stunted psychological growth and a sense of failure if desires remain unfulfilled. And it should go without saying that the Prosperity Consciousness message, that everyone is entitled to fulfill all their consumerist desires without restriction gnores the fact that our small planet has its physical limitations and is currently in the throes of potentially cataclysmic reactions against its six billion six hundred million human occupants, whether prosperous or not.

Maybe I’m not thinking on such a grand or global scale here, but as I read this article I thought about public transit. Regardless of how atrocious rush-hour traffic can be, people in general are still not willing to give up their cars for public transit. With a car comes a sense of ownership and comfort that most aren’t ready to hand over for a random seat on a bus or train. The same goes for computers.
My computer is not yours. It’s mine.
I’m not ready to offload all of my applications and personal settings just yet.
I ride the bus or my bicycle to work every day, so I’m all for public transportation. However, I’m not yet ready to share the computing space with anyone, or everyone, else. I don’t know what would change my mind. Tell Qwest and Comcast to radically lower their broadband rates (instead of constantly raising them) and maybe we’re on to something. Make broadband access free and available everywhere, now I’m even more interested.
Nevertheless, with more online applications sprouting up alongside more powerful mobile devices, it’ll be interesting to see what happens over the next few years.
Thank god. No need to glorify idiocy even further. Then again, I can’t wait for the next season of ‘Age of Love’. I’m hoping Mark Philippoussis dumps that wacky chick and comes back for another round!
I’d like to see the results from this study, but that probably won’t happen. Maybe a cool infographic overlaying the findings with major US cities?
Meth is plastered all over the news here in the Northwest, so my money is on Portland or Seattle.
“Interestingly, in slang, prefixing the article ‘the’ to shit gives it a completely opposite definition, meaning “The Best”, as in “Altered Beast is the shit,” or “Oregon Trail is the dope shit.

“We want our users to be able to accept and choose what type of advertising they engage in.”
How about… none?

OBEY’s argument appears to be that until cyclists as a group obey all traffic laws, then cyclists as a group will not be accepted by motorists.
Presumably, the inverse is also part of OBEY’s argument: Until motorists as a group obey all traffic laws, then motorists as a group will not be accepted by cyclists.
Is that how it works?
Comment in response to username OBEY who said “If all the cyclists posting here would actually obey the traffic laws, you’d find yourselves more accepted by the motorists.”
