Well you might feel differently about the relative importance of the WOD if you were a part of the demographic it was being primarily waged against Most guys don't realize there's a war against men going on until they become the victims, because it's been largely a covert war. Suicide statistics fo...

That being said, I'm of the opinion that the USA shouldn't be a "police man" and instead should only be allying itself with those it feels offer some sort of economic benefit. I believe that we should dissolve NATO, shred all free trade agreements and walk away from the useless entity that is the U...

That definition was deliberately chosen to exclude smaller solar objects that are farther from the sun. well, yes, just like we needed a definition back in the 19th century to exclude all the thousands of objects we started finding on the asteroid belt, and Ceres also ended up being removed from th...

Don't see how greater US involvement in WWI would have prevented it; we were hardly in a position to stop the German wanna-be empire from ultimately bumping heads against the established superpower of the time Great Britain and it's empire. We would have done better to stay out of it; a more negoti...

I think you are not aware of what exactly "clearing it's neighborhood means". "Pluto fails to meet the third condition, because its mass is only 0.07 times that of the mass of the other objects in its orbit (Earth's mass, by contrast, is 1.7 million times the remaining mass in its own orbit).[146][...

Hmm national defense is the only sticky one there. Currently we're stuck in a situation where we pick the least expensive of two expensive options. First option is to go back to a very small trained standing military with associated smaller capabilities and then have spend a sh!t ton of money to ram...

I nearly shot coffee over my keyboard over the mention of DRMO. That's how you know someone's worked for the US Government, they know how to scrape for spare stuff that's going to the auction house / trash bin. We've done quite a few projects at almost zero material cost by knowing when other units ...

EMC2 left at the alter with wilting daisies, a victim of fricking fracking and oil price crash? Or McMansion with some babes was more attractive? It's been quiet, other then the occasional mention in a science article there doesn't seem to be anything happening. Has Dr. Park moved on to another pro...

The Beijing Genomic Institute decided to sequence the genomes of a lot of smart people as well as regular people. Their recent findings also show a lack of correlation of smarts with known genes. Its as if this stuff had little to do with genetics. I would be extremely careful about those results, ...

It all depends on the size of the market. Directing punishment against 100,000 child pornographers is not very expensive. Now consider the active 30 to 45 million cannabis users. About 3% of those run afoul of the law every rear. Very funny that on this site, a place where people are assumed to be ...

The phenomenon Fogg discusses is more ultimately about class than race, but the two are interlinked in America so thoroughly that's an understandable conflation. Yeah this happens a lot. What is really a class issue gets turned into a race one by the left in their constant struggle to paint everyon...

Are they really to the point of having no staff?

So I do appreciate a well rounded education that opens your eyes to a world beyond some narrow specialty. What I don't appreciate is that the cost of education has exploded, with this concept that one needs to get an expensive specialty in order to get a job, and that you need to pay so much for it...

Employers value education, especially live education because it teachs more than the core technical points of a topic. It teaches problem solving based on reason, it teaches human interactions and dynamics, self awareness and responsibility, teamwork, all things that employers say are lacking more ...

To be honest most of Western higher education institutes are just progressive voter factories. Their job is to produce people who will vote in favor of the ideology of the universities alumni while also being able to hold a job. With the development of the welfare state that last part is no longer a...
