I think it's probably the opposite... that people who had less rigid parents in terms of feeding schedules and such learned that their needs will be fulfilled- that it shapes their view of fairness, so they're more willing to wait for things. Do you have any real-life experiences that might suggest willpower is related to "training" as a small child/ baby? less

But I guess lives are not more important than the right to insult/demean/antagonize/humiliate/desecrate/agitate. Right?

What in the he** are all these haters gonna do to make PET pay for his duplicity/trickery/reversal? AGAIN? What other things will he backtrack next? What do they do now with all that hate? less

I'm wondering if this has something to do with class being geared more towards right-handed folks... perhaps the strokes are unnatural for someone who is left handed? Or, maybe left-handed people are just backwards? ;) Has anyone experienced this with their own kids or recall having issues growing up as a lefty?
