Inequity aversion is a pretty classic part of game theory and experimental economics. Some of the earliest experiments included the ultimatum game, where one of two parties gets to decide how a sum of money is split, but the other has veto rights (in a veto, neither gets any money.) A purely rational person would always accept a non-zero deal, since they would get a little money rather than no money. But most people (myself included) are likely to reject a deal that’s “too unfair” to punish the other player.

[quote=Jim Jones]If this is true will rising interest rates convince the small number of responsible savers to enter the market?[/quote]That is certainly what I am waiting for, or at least the reduced prices I am presuming will result from higher interest rates.

[quote=flu]See, what I’m seeing is that if boys don’t like each other, they get kinda physical and start pushing each other around or hitting each other. When girls (inclusive of my kid) don’t like each other, they start saying stuff like “I’m not going to be your friend/we’re not going to talk to you.”… Is that consistent with what other parents see?[/quote]
Caveat: I am not a parent. But girls are generally discouraged from expressing aggression and anger overtly, which leaves covert bullying of the kind you describe (manipulation, and using exclusion from friendships as punishment.) Boys who get in physical fights get punished to some degree by parents or the school administration, but it is not treated as beyond the pale as much as physical altercations between girls would be… it is almost expected that boys will get in shoving matches and occasional fights.

If you’re interested in reading about this sort of thing, “Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls” wasn’t bad (but a bit disorganized, and didn’t provide much discussion of productive ways of dealing with girl bullies.) http://www.amazon.com/Odd-Girl-Out-Culture-Aggression/dp/B0013L2DZ0 I’ve actually got a copy if you want to borrow it.

If I were looking for a good performing car, with a reasonable price and great reliability I think there is only one choice:

2010 Mazda Speed3 (mid 20’s at the most…)[/quote]
+1 on the MS3, I have a 2008 and I absolutely love it. It doesn’t get great gas mileage though (especially the way I drive.) Around 25 mpg highway, 17-18 mpg city… of premium gas.
