- I'll paste the list and the methodology in the IM. (Warning: its long.) - TFox Jul 6, 08:58 1

kids today! -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 08:51 20
- And shes a smart kid....honour roll and leadership awards for Grade 8......They are academically gifted but very deficent in life skills. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 6, 08:57 17
  - using code language is not the same as being deficient in life skills, you know. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:06 15
    - i'm not sure that's 100% true. writing sentences and communicating with grownups is an important skill. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 09:08 10
      - but why should we expect them to exhibit that skill while communicating with their peers? - znufrii Jul 6, 09:09

        we shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they could do it when asked. - TFox Jul 6, 09:12 3
        
        that was not part of the situation we were presented with. you're speculating. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:12 2

        you. out of my head. now. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 09:10 3
        
        I posted first, that means you're in *my* head. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:11 2
        
        I had to censor out some of the longer words so TFox would understand, so it took me longer to post. - znufrii Jul 6, 09:11 1
        
        you also, on my nuts. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 09:12
    - IRYS -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 09:07

        I'm not sure I'd go that far. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 09:11

That NBA salary list is freakin' crazy. The upcoming labour war will be interesting. -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 08:51 1
- The sal cap made it inevitable. Guys on the high end of the talent spectrum all make (close to) the same $$. - musubi Jul 6, 08:55
then you are a Russian spy -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 08:50
