    Statistics Unleashed

    I`m going to say, based on what I have seen of the driving skills in my particular patch of the woods, it has to be that cars are better. The driving I see on a daily basis is, in my opinion, very poor..it`s almost like, engine on, brain function off. If I get time I must look to see if I can...

    Possible Discovery Of Sixth DNA Base....

    As the article states, the challenge is to confirm the data and discover what exactly its role is. So something to keep eyes and ears open for... http://www.idibell.cat/modul/news/en/794/discovered-the-sixth-dnas-base

    Hero or Child Abuser?

    A clear and well considered view, LeBrok. First off let me say I`m not speaking about the child who has had one or perhaps two light slaps over the course of their childhood. I`m talking about corporal punishment being the set method of discipline across the childs upbringing. I am not...

    Hero or Child Abuser?

    I`m with Maleth on this, I too disagree with slapping children. Children need to learn right from wrong and sometimes disciplining is needed. This however, can be done in ways other than slapping. We would not agree with a man slapping/hitting a woman or with the slapping of an elderly person...

    Why Do Mosquitoes Like Me Best?

    It was mostly the small, black midges we encountered Angela...repeatedly. Roles are reversed between me and my husband to you and yours..when abroad mine gets bit whilst I escape for the larger part and never really bother with any type of repellent. I`m not sure about B Vitamins but given how...

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    I think in general FH, the national news is reported in an impartial way and that all sides of any issue are covered and reported. I do think we can question how the news is given. In the U.K. there are independent bodies set up that deal with complaints regarding such. Freedom of the media is...

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    No, but I did recognize freedom of individual being exercised...:) You are very good at trying to tag labels..perhaps you do so in an attempt to make your own views appear more credible... You are also something of a hypocrite, trying to pick holes in things which you have plainly said you would...

    Why Do Mosquitoes Like Me Best?

    There was a theory a few years ago which apparently resulted from a controlled study which indicated people with blood type O were more often bit... they wrote something regarding secreting a chemical which indicated blood type[?] I don`t recall a lot about it now but I`m not so sure about that...

    This is a really good map, LeBrok.....I`ve spent the past half hour with it.

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    I think this shows freedom of individual nicely..thankyou. Here we see people being entitled to physically look how they wish, or those who wish to practice a religion of their choice being able to do so and those who seek to ridicule or humiliate because of this are not encouraged to do so. We...

    Difference in death causes among Christians & Jews of Warsaw in years ca. 1800 - 1805

    I had heard something similar but could not remember the details and had to look it up. Through reading regarding it, I found another piece regarding British horse mounted troops in 1790 were shown to likewise be less infected by smallpox than were infantry. They say this is due to being exposed...

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    I say, let us not look to animals to see how we, as humans, should behave. I see my ideas are now totalitarian rather than utopian, Kardu. If we read the same meaning of the word totalitarian, then I do not class myself as such. You do not answer if you think freedom of the individual...

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    Then I may just as easily ask you in return to which moral you refer when you said we are not morally obliged to submit to the freedoms I was speaking of. For now, lets go with the idea of moral in context of right and wrong, good and bad. You asked what liberals knew about being a man. I...

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    What a defeatist attitude...don`t you think we are all of us, morally obliged to seek that we ourselves and others should have freedom of speech and freedom of expression etc. without fear of persecution or harm? Or would wishing for such be an abuse to your rights...if they were real and not...

    Will all people of the world mix creating one race in the future?

    Conventional..based on what is normally done or believed? So if someone wishes to step outside the conventional, that which is normally done and wishes the freedom to do differently, you will likely deny them this "whim". This is not freedom Kardu, it is an illusion. A liberal man seeks to have...
