I think this particular quote is the root cause of all conflict in the Middles East and one of the major causes of anti-Semitism. What we have here is an example of “law”. Now that law is based on a religious book. As such, the law is “holy”. Holy law can not be challenged which...

Well pretending that they don't pay what is the future for them...? The country/government simply won't be able to borrow or they will be able to borrow at very high "junk" rates. Their currency will more likely than not be worthless. Which raises an interesting question... If you were an...

Just what exactly can the UK do if Iceland decides not to pay? Having agencies cut their credit ratings can only go so far. I think Iceland can pretty much get away without paying. I think the only major consequence for Icelanders if this does happen is that they won't be able to import...

Generally speaking in Britain they made it as far north as Hadrian's Wall... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian%27s_Wall

Yes... Good point... From my point of view Icelandic Vikings or Vikings in general are just "GYPSIES IN BOATS"... See... if you call them that it doesn't seem as cool does it...? Vikings were just a bunch of nomadic thieves who occasionally attacked unarmed monks to steal their...

Hmmm... The development of cities and written language...? There are actually several new cultures unearthed recently in E. Europe that may correspond to this change. Such as, the Cucuteni-Trypillian Culture from around 6000 BC... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucuteni-Trypillian_culture...

Hello cheval...! Welcome to our discussion! I'm not surprised that academics are being silenced. Obviously it is a very emotional subject for many people. Nevertheless, I'm finding myself more and more suspicious of "social engineering" and the "bright new world" we're heading towards...

SNB "May I correct : All the people are really different but they are all equals because that's what being free means !" Well you are correct but I was not making a statement on freedom or rights. I was making a statement on the spinning of facts. Although, the documentary was...

This is a good question... However, I don't think the IQ tests were just done randomly including people who didn't know how to read or count etc... I've taken IQ tests when I was in school and I scored high enough to be considered "genius" and was skipped ahead a grade with the option of...

Correct... Collective punishment is not the answer. However, (despite the fact that I did not express myself very well) to me it seems that there is a movement in the media to destroy any notion of race. What I find surprising is that visible minorities go along with this despite the...

The issue most related with race is usually "racism". The media seems to think that brainwashing is the answer to this problem. As such, their solution goes something like this... - a minority commits a crime (or does something undesirable)... - anger at minority - media solution... "Hey...

Generally the media has more or less taken it upon themselves to promote "social construct". Whenever, there is an issue regarding race you can be sure that somewhere along the way someone will mention that race doesn't exist. Supposedly it is something that we are all imagining due to our...

True enough... I don't agree with the "social construct" argument because it ignores a great deal of empirical evidence. I found the exact problem with the arguments Wells was making in his documentary. To sum it up it went something like this: "All these people are really different but...

Yes, but killing that tribe is only a temporary solution. Soon you will be hungry and in need of women again... I'm not sure that succes in pure "dog eat dog" brutality shows a higher level of intelligence. Eventually another tribe will get you...

Well Ricter... I think we would end up in a "Chicken and the egg!" debate. That is... Do genes create society or does society create genes? Really, I know of no way to answer that.

@ Ricter... "Both" choice...? Well... "Both" is a possibility but I think that it would create a "paradox".

@ Jficquette... IQ, poverty and race...? I don't know what to say about it. I have met plenty of very intelligent black people. I have also met some very poor and utterly broke geniuses... We all know that there are some really dumb rich people out there...

SNB... "don't think feel : If I hit you, will you suffer ? If I smile at you, will you smile at me ? If I cry with big drops, will you understand that I am sad ? If I laugh, will you understand that I am happy ? If my loved one leave me, will I be sad, and if yours leave ? If I am...

Race and “The Journey of Man” I have recently watched the documentary “The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey” created by the geneticist Spencer Wells and I have to admit that I found some contradictions in the reasoning presented. At issue here is the concept of race and human...

I think that somewhere along the way thugs hijacked American black culture....! I know plenty of very civil black people and I honestly can't stand to see some rapper saying "I'm representing, Yo'all...!" Of course if you disagree with thuggery you are automatically labeled a racist if you...
