What Will Incent Topix to Change their Unmoderated Forums?

We Answered:

I use to post on Topix now and then. One of the most annoying people to post there has to be a person known as Gord who insists that the Greenhouse Effect is false and is a mass conspiracy because he doesn't understand the differences between different types of heat transfer and insists that the colder atmosphere can't warm warmer land surfaces. He seems to have a lot of followers in that forum. I do think that moderated forums, however, are quite a lot more 'adult' than unmoderated ones.

I am a straight A student in High school and want to seek advise from everyone to BEST CAREER direction?

We Answered:

In my opinion best career is the one you like the most. Because the important things in the career are Passion and Persistence action. So in my opinion, choose carefully the career that you really passionate about. I hope this can be useful.

Is it time for a career change?

We Answered:

Good question man. Hopefully you're not putting much stock in what a bunch of random yahoos are putting into this, but at least some ideas worth consideration may come up.

Assuming the MRB doesn't make the decision for you, I look at this from two directions. I know they're obvious, but they have to be stated nonetheless.
1. If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. What are your wife's true feelings and intentions? Does she want you to get out, or is she telling you that you've done your part because she knows how much you love it and she's trying to make you feel secure in deciding to leave? In other words, does she definitely want you out, or is she telling you that she loves you and she'll be proud of you no matter what?
2. If you ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. For me, seriously, I can think of nothing more personally satisfying than working with the great people I encounter every day in the military. I don't care about some monetary bottom line or making a million dollars for the company--I get the satisfaction of training, leading, and fighting beside the finest human beings I'll ever meet. That, to me, is irreplaceable. I don't know what the hell I'll do when I reach 20.

Now, I know it's not like you can simply ignore your injuries, because they are life-altering. Maybe you can't do your old job. But you say you mounted up and headed out there four times. Four times! That kind of experience has got to count for something! Why not draw on the experience to train others? You might not be there pulling the trigger, but your insights may be the deciding factor some day in whether some of those grunts out there live or die, and that's something to be proud of as well. You could train both within the Army and outside. It's definitely something to keep in mind.

As someone said, you're 31, which is plenty young to start again. There's a ton of benefits from the VA and others for disabled veterans, and there's lots of support structures like the VFW and such. You've got plenty of years ahead of you, so don't let your age scare you into not making a move!

There's no rule or spreadsheet that will tell you what to do. Follow your heart and choose the path that satisfies both you and your wife. At the same time, don't convince yourself that you have to give up the life if that's what you want to pursue. Do what fulfills you.

What if?? Found this on Gerry & Kate on Missing Madeleine Mccann (mirror forum) Thoughts please?

Interesting theory. If this is a possible scenario a secret is only a secret if one person knows. The moment you tell someone else it is no longer a secret. So, on the assumption that this or something like this happened, sooner or later being such a momentous enormous awful secret someone would have to tell someone else. This would surely be so burdensome to that other person that they would have to confide in another.

Do you see what I am getting at. Sooner or later it would or will be a secret that someone will not be able to keep, either through greed at the size of the fund or more likely their conscience.

It has been two months, surely whatever the truth whoever knows what happened must be bursting to tell someone, anyone by now.
