  1. Re:Structural differences only on The Brains of Men and Women Aren't Really That Different, Study Finds (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    But still, on most any mesure, on average, when you find that men are more something than women are, you also find that some women are more that thing than some men are. And vice versa.

  2. "The IDF began to prepare over the weekend to demolish the homes of three Palestinian terrorists, two of whom wounded eight soldiers in the West Bank on Friday. Palestinian assailant Amar Arafat Issa Za’akik, 17, ran down six soldiers with his car as they stood on the side of the road, near the entrance of the Palestinian village of Beit Umar, located off of Route 60 in between Gush Etzion and the West Bank city of Hebron."

  3. "The home demolition is a tactic that the Israeli government has revived to punish families of alleged Palestinian terrorists"

    I wonder what this means

    Trump said. “We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”

    "I couldn't figure out what was going on from this ridiculous summary"

    I had the same problem.

    And if the accusations against facebook are true, they definitely want to keep it quiet -- how would they be able to explain what looks like helping the Indian government marginalize a minority.

    Also it's funny how the write up "Judge Lucy Koh ruled that the U.S. based rights group's encouragement of religious discrimination" makes it sound like the Sikhs are the ones with an ethics problem.

    "Focus on how a well a country did"

    It didn't do well, though it's true that overall Harper was good at pushing more and more wealth upwards and spinning it as a gain for the average working Canadian.

  12. Re:Why the fuss? on Wealth Therapy Tackles Woes of the Rich · · Score: 2

    True, a return to more progressive taxation would alleviate their problem --and disparity.

    "It's really isolating to have a lot of money. It can be scary – people's reaction to you ... There is a fair amount of isolation if you are wealthy"

    Less economic disparity, less fear and isolation.

    Not sure I follow you, but isn't the US not at war in Iraq and Afghanistan for a long time now.

  16. Re:Geneva Convention on China Arrests Hackers At Behest of US Government (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    My original point was that the US government has, and still does, carry out very unethical and violent 'military' operations world wide.

    Moreover, the majority of US citizens are not fully aware of this fact because of reporting biases.

    "*cough* Guantanamo"

    To name just one.

    The number of well documented criminal actions committed by the US government or its representatives, including major war crimes and terrorism, currently and in the last 65 years, is quite surprising for the average American.

    The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was called little boy. You could make a joke. I probably won't find it funny either. Think on it.

    "probably" seems too much of a leap from the available information, I think "possibly" would be more accurate word to use at this time.

  25. Re:Self centered morons on Analysis: Iran's Nuclear Program Has Been an Astronomical Waste · · Score: 2

    Yes,

    "In 1951, Mohammad Mossaddegh was appointed Prime Minister and committed to nationalizing the Iranian petroleum industry controlled by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (AIOC). Under the leadership of Mossaddegh's democratically elected nationalist movement, the Iranian parliament unanimously voted to nationalize the oil industry – thus shutting out the immensely profitable AIOC, which was a pillar of Britain's economy and provided it political clout in the region ... Shortly prior to the 1952 presidential election in the United States, the British government invited CIA officer Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., to London to propose collaboration on a secret plan to force Mossaddegh from office. This would be the first of three "regime change" operations led by Allen Dulles (the other two being the successful CIA-instigated 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état and the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba)."
