Anarkhos writes:

There are strong governmental institutions and structures than ensure that upward mobility, while not impossible, is extremely difficult for the vast majority of people born into poverty.

"Vast majority"? Incorrect.

Your statement is accurate when discussing totalitarian countries, but not the United States of America.

[quick reply]

I'm vegetarian, buy most of my clothes from markets and op shops (bugger being in fashion, I'm an artist), recycle, do up old furniture rather than buying new stuff, write letters occasionally to MPs, go to protests, buy organic fruit and veges. Drive a car and still consume a lot more than I could, so I could do more I guess.

Computer games don't affect kids. I mean if Pacman affected our generation as kids, we'd all be running around in a darkened room, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

"My motto from here on out is: If someone or something (including me) in my life is conducting themselves in such a way that they can be seen on Jerry Springer, it's time to take out the garbage!!! When you stop taking their behaviour personally and see their antics as a true reflection on their character, it becomes absolutely nauseating." Anon. on abusive relationships.
