with the "utility everyone else gets" argument I think only some behaviour isn't acceptable. reading newspapers, sleeping, doing the crossword etc isn't going to distract anyone actually paying attention to the lecture.
The thing is, there's no "learning curve" that takes someone like Rooney from temperamental to calm. Some players are just naturally hot tempered. Refer to LMF's examples of Zidane and Sir Alex.
you're not going to deny that those two were among the most successful and respected people in...

I'm not sure if this is what the thread is about but the value of the life of animals is obviously just as subjective as the value of lives of humans. It depends on the proximity and worth of the subject in question from the person who's judging. Our immediate family would be worth more than a...
