I see something as a job only when I get paid for it. So when are you going to send me my paycheck?

Done so regularly, and enjoy doing so. As long as they don't expect me to do their work for them.

If you cannot bother to do some basic research, you are outsourcing/offloading work - there's other sites for that, and yes, I will point out that you are taking up space where you should not.

Experience. And perhaps a lack of vitamin B12.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
