the truth is quite the opposite -- we are the typical wishy washy, liberal sandal wearing Guardian reading softies NSR rails about (our children call us by our first names - my wife is a history of art graduate ffs)
we just realise the actualité of the situation as alluded to by FP – it is gonna get v v competitive
equip your children the best you can -- that's all

Why not teach them to be amoral sociopaths? No obstacles to make money right? What an advantage that would be?

That seems a bit unfair, Tony. There are plenty of career paths which require a sound education, provide a good standard of living, but where your humanity can remain in tact. I guess it all depends on the parents' coaching style.

I'm sorry but in the real world lots of the very 'successful' people - especially in the corporate world - are ***** to be plain.
It really helps to have no outside interests or higher principles believe me, just a mono-focus on 'success' which means essentially being a kind of apparatchik. Really, cultural learnings are a handicap.

Is that a yes, I'm not entirely sure what it means? It's just that the tin-hat brigade are trotting out all kinds conspiracies for the UN intervention, but when critical thinking's employed to shine a light on their flippant comments they clam-up, avoid the question, knock-out a word puzzle or, if you're f1_fan, ask for the thread to be locked 
. So, did the UN destroy Gadaffi's airforce so that "the good guys can buy new ones when they've got there hands on the money?"

IMO there is no morality to it - it is just business. F*cking good business at that.
Do you really need to be spoon fed yes/no, black/white answers?

Just because someone (or something) benefits from a course of action does not mean they caused it!
'Who benefits' logic would dictate that Iran controlled Bush and made him invade Iraq!

A combination of tautology and bad syntax is my best guess.
