Based on my own experience, I can say that there are distinct differences between men and women regarding behavior. I believe this makes sense, as the sexes are not expected to have only phenotype differences. Nature is wise.

It is very well known that the Catholic Church has been the source of some nasty events in human history, one of which is the Inquisition to fight heresy. The brutality during these years was immeasurable, even if we consider that those were dark times. Thoughts on this matter?

I was reading an interesting article the other day talking about how some Japanese believe that blood type predicts human behavior, such as hard work, persistence, individuality etc. What do you guys think about it? Personally, I believe that if there is any effect, it should be minor.

Did the Knights Templar invent banking system? Back in the day, I recall myself watching a documentary about the Knights of the Temple (aka Templars). They mentioned that those people actually were the beginners of the banking system. I recall from history that the first bank was somewhere in...
