[quote=briansd1]FLU, a good scolding and lecture is at least some punishment. A fine or an ongoing tax would be in order.

As a society, we depend of firms like Goldman. We can’t do without them.

If your child behaves badly, you’d lecture her, fine her, or cut off her allowance. But you can’t afford to disown her anymore than she could afford it.[/quote]

Didn’t you ever had a teacher that you hated because you though he/she was a moron/and/or did know what he/she was doing, and hence you thought was completely pointless for them to give you a lecture on something they don’t know about, and it was completely moronic to do so, but nevertheless was in a position of “authority” at a split instance in time? Didn’t you just say “un uh un uh, ok ok ok”, so you could get the hell out of there as fast as you could so you can return do doing the thing you were previously doing, and then when he/she was out of there, you were like “yeah, whatever, knowing that you’ll smarter than him/her, and he/she doesn’t know what the hell they are talking about?”. Well, same thing. (Not to sound disrespectful to all teachers, but there are some that don’t belong in the lecture/teaching category, because they really don’t know what they are doing).
