<p>This isn't accurate either.  Java does not enforce 1 file = 1 public class but rather 1 file = 1 public <i>top-level</i> class.<p>For example this is totally legit:<p><pre><code>  // ClassA.java
  public class ClassA {

    public static class ClassA_Inner_Public_Static {

    }

    public class ClassA_Inner_Public {

    }

  }

  // ClassB.java
  public class ClassB {

    ClassA classa = new ClassA();
    ClassA_Inner_Public classA_Inner_Public = new ClassA().new ClassA_Inner_Public();
    ClassA_Inner_Public_Static classA_Inner_Public_Static = new ClassA_Inner_Public_Static();

  }</code></pre></p>

<p>The thing is, actual educated, reasoned adults should be capable of understanding the point a person is making, without straining at a gnat, and without making a mountain out of a mole hill.<p>Our society, says everyone, is way too sensitive and "PC".  And, yet, we continue to attack people over the slightest perception of wrong doing.<p>It's ridiculous and childish.</p>

<p>My point was that he wasn't actually saying he doesn't want for anything.  Of course he does, and yes for him that includes Netflix.<p>My point was that his argument was that he generally knows what he wants and doesn't want to be incessantly marketed to -- yet, because of bad wording, you made it sound like he was erroneously claiming he wants nothing.<p>Almost by definition, we all want something.  But that does not require constant marketing.</p>

<p>Ugh.<p>It's comments like this that make reading comments so much suck.<p>You took one tiny misworded part of his entire post and highlighted it to make an issue out of it.  When you knew dang well what his overall argument was and what he really meant with that tiny badly worded part.<p>Stop adding to comment suck.</p>

<p>Don't make the mistake of conflating liberal with progressive, republican with conservative, nor the idea that someone who values small govt is necessarily a conservative.  Those are all substantially different things, even though current majorities make them SEEM equivalent.<p>As a thought experiment, consider that most of our nation's founders were liberal but they favored small govt. Also, there is a number of people today who believe in classical liberalism but don't identify as progressive nor conservative; they are usually called libertarian.<p>Libertarians would generally eschew both Eisenhower, big govt programs, AND progressivism.</p>

<p>ummm... you might want to try re-reading your reply and reflect on the OP's observation... your overly sensitive read of their post and vicious reply of your own suggests to me that you are not happy... and thus, presuming you don't have kids, supports OP's point.</p>

<p>Correct.  So instead of saying veganism, we should instead be saying real/fresh food... at least, based on this article.  Not saying you can't be vegan, just that this article isn't saying that.</p>

<p>None of those are put into your body multiple times every day, a body which evolved in tandem with the natural world over eons.<p>I'm not strictly a naturalist, though, but it makes sense to err on that side of caution, because evolutionary biology.</p>

<p>Come again?  Could you expand on this?<p>I'm all for eating fresh fruit, vegetables, roots, etc, but I don't see how this article supports only a plants based diet?  Really I think what it's saying is avoid mass produced food, no?<p>For example, the locally sourced fresh beef I buy from my local farmer?</p>
