You sure it wasn't Waterloo, we made that department for Stephen Hawking and now he is here, doing physics, theoretically. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_Institute_for_Theoretical_Physics | ||

would be more concerned if he was closer to 17 or 18, but at 15 you still have all sorts of options. going back to school isn't out of the question. | ||

How can you say that? He followed his dreams to be a professional gamer. Most people give up and end up doing something they hate. I'd love to be in his position, and I'm a senior about to get my business degree. | ||

thats a terible blow at such an age... especially considering all the insight given by the koreans here... i hope he gets it together and finds his way back to school and/or progaming soon, such a shame really... and too bad for all the WeRRa-clan guys watching Cella's stream atm ist just painfull (seen the drunken perfomance? .. just sad..) i hope this doesnt affect sc2 in generall too much in korea... on a sidenote: yea! i totally agree TRG! just because someone ist smart enough to to this and that he shouldnt feel obliged to do so... just do what you love if you have the chance to! i study archaeology, what isnt exactly something to secure a stable income later on... but hey, i love it and i would totally lose motivation if i was forced to study natural sciences or economy-related degrees just because i may be smart enough to do so.. | ||

Don't be a bigot, dude. To me, the WeRRa scandal is significant because a person in a position of authority used his influence to touch the zipper of an underage subordinate. Whether he's gay/bisexual/whatever is incidental flavor text. | ||

I couldn't find any recent data, this is from the year 2000: Rate of sexual abuse by gender: 1.7 victims per 1,000 female children 0.4 victims per 1,000 male children. http://www.prevent-abuse-now.com/stats.htm That comes out to 19.04% of the victims being male. Assuming a marginal amount of female aggressors, that makes about 80% of child molesters straight, and 20% gay. This of course, isn't perfectly accurate, since it is unknown from this statistic how many abusers are repeat offenders. There is not an accurate estimate of the rate of homosexuality among the population. Most estimates vary from 2% to 13%, according to Wikipedia anyways. This would indicate that a greater percentage of homosexuals are child molesters than heterosexuals. However, I think the argument could easily be made that homosexuals are many times more likely than heterosexuals to live much of their lives in a sexually repressed manner. The primary reason for this being a risk of discrimination if they live openly gay. And if there is anything that is obvious, it's that sexual repression can really screw somebody up. | ||
