Actually I think Confucius' response to most QA crap would be more like "WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** IS THIS S***!  " and then he would stab his eyes out.
QA just does that to people

Three thoughts from India, on learning:
1. Someshwara Shataka, Kannada language, written about 800 years ago.
Five Modes of Learning (adapted translation):
- From people who know (listening).
- From books.
- By seeing people do.
- Self discovery (I did it!).
- Good company (otherwise, he may misuse the learning to harm society).
While learning, the attitude of a receptacle, like an Ocean:
- Many rivers flow in (many inputs),
- Never overflows.
2. During the learning process, display of arrogance; Bhartruhari's Neeti Shataka, Sanskrit language, written about 1600 years ago:
- When I knew little, I was arrogant; I thought I knew everything.
- When, with the company of knowledgeable people , I got to know things little by little, then I realized that I am a fool, and my arrogance subsided like fever.
3. An important trait of a true man of knowledge: Humility; Kalidasa's Abhijnana Shakuntalam, Sanskrit language, similar time-frame as Bhartruhari above (there's some uncertainty in his date). This stanza is sometimes attributed to Bhartruhari also.
- Branches of trees laden with fruits bend down, and become accessible (humility).
- Clouds laden with rain water spread far and wide (spreading of knowledge).
Excuse me - this was a long one.

Thank you for these wonderful quotes !
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

If Confucius had read QA section, he would have become suicidal, obviously.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

You might want to exorcise your rights. Possession is nine tenths of the law, the Devil is in the details.

Reports indicate that they might pull her from life support, very soon. Now that I am a parent, stories of losing a child, is always hard for me to hear/watch/read.
Although I do not care for Bobby Brown, I do wish him strength during this hard time.

Well, there is a lot of research that shows that the parent doesn't have the most influence in a persons life, it is much more dependent on your peers like your friends. This makes logical sense also, after all these are the people that you are going to live and work with, and not your parents.

Not sure how accurate that is. There is plenty of data to support the fact that the home is the best place to learn values.
Of course, with few parents at home with kids now then I'm sure you're right, peers have more influence. But it should not be that way.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well, we had a series here in Norway, and if you bother to watch a Norwegian series with english subs here you go:

Its interesting though: Do children copy your dialect (assuming that you speak different then other people in your area) or the other kids dialect?

It is hard to reach final conclusions on complex systems.

Both. Copying behaviour is the first way of learning. Even if none of the kids curse - if you curse like a sailor, the kid will do the same.
When older, origins of behaviour are even harder to point. As your actions are determined by fenotype and genotype, it'd simply follow that even advertisments have influence on your dialect.

Well, you can watch the program but the essence is that it is based on twin studies and adopted kids etc. It's not the case that it is solely based on gens compared to nurture, but without genes somethings are impossible. However, no one is saying that you cant ruin your kids with poor parenting.

I bookmarked it; limited bandwidth here.
With genotypes being equal, only the fenotype would matter. That would include interaction with everyone. Including the grandparents old dog. Or a church. Did I mention advertising yet? More interaction would logically mean more influence on each future action.
Equally, "values" come from all kinds of places; they're a product of what you experienced. Children sociallize earlier today than they used to. It may hold true that the apple didn't fall far from the tree, and that most values in the past came from a limited circle and have been reinforced for a longer period.
