Strange thing about human nature. As a businessman, I've noticed that those whom I don't charge are the ones that complain most. It seems that when someone pays for something, they attribute a value to it and accept it for that value. The biggest surprise is to give a buck to a panhandler and hear him complain about the small amount. Definitely a mentality that I won't bother to categorize.

Way to go, Jordan in New York! Make sure that your kids' thinking is channeled in the "right" direction by prohibiting them from using certain words. Don't allow discussion with your kids as to why they feel that another person is "stupid", or why they believe that they are angry at someone else to the point of "hating" that person. Future fodder for Randy when they grow up!
Didn't George Orwell demonstrate what happens when you restrict language?
