Ask Conlan: The Controversial Survey (Part 3) Ask Conlan | (0)
As you'll recall Parts 1 and 2 from the past, here is Part 3 of my answers to The Controversial Survey. 11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? This is kind of a silly question. I mean, who would give a 12-year-old girl a baby? Talk about a spoiled kid. My 9-year-old cousin, he's always asking for candy and toys and everything else whenever I'm watching him. Sometimes I'll get something for him, but most of the time I just have to say "No." And he always says, "Why?" And I say, "Because we're not going ...

Ask Conlan: The Controversial Survey (Part 2) Ask Conlan | (0)
Continued from last time: 6. Do you think Marijuana should be legalized? I lived in San Francisco for two years, where it is legal (pretty much). I think it smells like sweaty dirt, so I was opposed. However, I did not know it was a proper noun. This new knowledge will cause me to reevaluate my position. I believe all nouns should be respected, but proper nouns have fundamental rights. But Marijuana? I guess this will take more pondering. It's a pretty sticky pickle. 7. Are you for or against premarital sex? War is terrible thing. Everyone agrees on that. Even the Martians ...

Programming note: I'm counting the TIME it takes to read this as the third dimension, along with the height (first) and width (second) of the screen. This is instead of the traditional third dimension: ...

Ask Conlan: LinkedOut Ask Conlan | (3)
Some girl, who apparently has a big head (her words), writes (edited for capitalization, punctuation, and linking purposes; no offense): I’ve had a LinkedIn account for like 7 months, and I don’t know how to use it or what it’s for... maybe you should write a blog about that like you did for Twitter, eh? Sincerely, The Other Half of the One In Yosemite Some Province, Canada Greetings, my great white friend to the north. I would be happy to guide you through the intricacies of the cultural phenomenon known as LinkedIn. The key to the future is—as it must be—the past. Started in 2002 by ...

Ask Conlan: Means to an End Ask Conlan | (5)
Some dude in Semmes, Alabama writes: Hey, Conlan. I've got a problem. I've been living beyond my means. Do you have any tips on how to control excessive spending? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks, Some Yokel Some, it's a common problem, and I get this question a lot. Just look around, and you'll see millions, if not hundreds, of people going about their daily lives as if they had way more means than they really do. I mean, look at the stock market. These guys thought they had means, but now it means nothing. It obscures the view, like trees in the middle ...
