Just watched this video. While it's a reminder that there are people in this world who show an ignorance that doesn't seem like it can ever be rivaled, it's also a reminder that there is a rainbow behind every storm. This woman took a sad incident and turned it into a statement that may be able to keep many of our youth (and adults) from crying into their pillow at night. The opinions of bullies do not define us. Who we let ourselves become is what ultimately determines who we are. Jennifer Livingston, I'm sorry that you had to be the victim of such a foolish statement. But I thank you for turning it into an inspiration that so many are needing more than they ever have before. And I wish you were a news anchor in Phoenix.

Hacking

I fail to understand why trade with the Chinese is continuing if conduct like this is taking place.

Home Schooling
http://schoolsofthought.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/01/my-view-common-myths-about-home-schooled-kids/?hpt=hp_c2
I just finished reading this article, and my experience has been drastically different than what the author is portraying. Nearly every person I've met that was home schooled is socially awkward to some extent, whether they it was a case of them having a hard time fitting in with peers, or a much harder time resisting pressure from those around them. There are exceptions to every rule, but this article is trying to present the exception as the rule (at least in my experience). I'm not saying that kids should never be home schooled, but I very much agree with one of the comments listed beneath the article, which is that parents should be 100% sure they know what they're doing before removing their child from a regular school setting. Interacting with other people (including individuals you may never get along with) is a key part of growing and learning how to manage yourself in the world.

Not mine.
Found this picture of a Hitmonchan on google last week. Not mine, but a fantastic rendition.
