To quote a very non-philosophical movie (Phoenix Rising) on the one and only philosophical line in the film: "I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. Religion divides people, spirituality unites them."

But those two papers (2004/5) were the ones repudiated recently as using fraudulent data. So it's still to be seen if it can truly been done (though Dr. Hwang is currently pleaing to try and prove that some of the cultures were successful).

Godppgo and Mikawa Ossan here's to you: Here is where I must mark my own limitations in understanding growth theory. As I am not the economist who developed this theory (he's actually my professor), I can only say that the two most important factors were growth of income per capita and level...

I'm not ruling out the possibility of another superpower. On the contrary, I'm just pointing out it's not as easy as just having sustained 'rapid growth' on a rate of 12% a year. There needs to be some exogenous factor that causes a new superpower to arise. Look at how the US surpassed...

An economic analysis... It's spring break!!! Which means I will have time to post!! (Hello lonesoullost3, it appears that you have not posted on the Japan Forum in several weeks.....hahahahaha) So time to start posting ^_^ I don't think China will become a superpower and let me go ahead an...

Marathon, golf is waaaaaay to slow for my opinion (same thing with baseball). Marathons can be interesting though - at the very least it's amazing to see the pace the leaders keep. Aqua blue or sky blue?

Office Sunrise or sunset? (sorry if this was asked already :p, but I just pulled an all-nighter and saw the sunrise, so it's on my mind ^_^)

""I can only assume the Americans who checked out the Web site subsequently checked out our winter temperatures and further took note that the National Hockey League was being locked out and had second thoughts," he told Reuters." Hahahaha, I like that line. Obviously the article was...

To answer question Tsuyoiko, right now I work for money (but it's only a summer job :p). When I actually start my career it will be working for my career - money has never been a major object for me (but I have to earn some during the summer to pay for books!!). And for Kara_nari's question, I...

I'm not sure I understand your question Tsuyoiko. If you mean work hard to earn money vs. work hard to advance your career, then I don't really see the difference - usually advancement means more money, yes? So until I figure out what you're asking, I'll answer Kinsao's question ^_^ - but I'll...

MeAndroo has a very good point - the media will not cover anything that the people don't want to hear. If you watched the Michael Moore's "Bowling For Columbine", even though the majority of it was complete BS(!!) the one thing that was true was the scene with the reporters in LA - they...

Home sick! But I never get home sick...love sick though...That's something you'd want to avoid at all costs (unless things turned out well in the end, then it makes it all worth it ^_^). ee-ther or ai-ther? (meaning different pronunciations of either :p)

Rain!! It's much much more fun! And bungalow...just because the word is cooler :p. Motorcycle or Truck? :p

Isn't this section for JAPANESE politics? But I'm not complaining - I agree with Jungle Boy. Bush can't speak and he doesn't even realize it. He's a horrible representative of our country (imo).

To smile! :) ^_^ ^-^ :-) :wave: :balloon: :bravo: :haihai: :hey: :happy: :happy: :win: :v: :biggrin: :wavey: :evil: << you can smile if you're evil too! lol. Humid or dry?
