If you have a high self esteem people will hold you in higher esteem. I am sure there have been more scientific studies on that. I am not saying to be conceited but having a positive self image is usually more attractive to people. It is actually healthier to not worry so much about what other people think about you and to not compare yourself to other people.
At least we don't have to deal with things like "der" "die" and "das". And many languages have dialects that are so different that they almost should be separate languages.
Funny. I almost picked Newton. I went with Darwin, though, because of all the constant controversy between evolution and creationism. Sorry I mean Intelligent Design/Creation Science.
If China jumped off a bridge should the US do it, too? I didn't say we couldn't impose fines and other restrictions but we can't outright ban what they sell to other countries.
You know living in New York I often believe that most people really are more reasonable, realistic, and open-minded when it comes to these things. Of course, there are obviously a lot of people in this country who are easily bamboozled by people like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh.
I actually say that in several of my other posts. I think this country is a mess with the way religion is seeping into our politics and education system.
Wrong wallet:p And with ATMs who has Ben in their wallet? I think ATMs were invented by Andrew Jackson* historians so that people don't forget who he was.
Hm. I am pretty sure I am letting them decide their own future. Last I checked I don't get a vote. I also am confused by how your posts contradicts itself. So I should have been involved when Mubarak was leader but I shouldn't be involved now? How about I am not involved either way.
And my "answers" go for all countries - including my own which is under siege by religious fanatics who wanted to undue the 200+ year old foundation of our government.
I never said that the US is very good at separating church and state. Actually if you knew me in person you'd see I comment very often on where we are lacking in that area. I actually saw a picture of someone swearing in on a bible this morning and thought to myself - if I ever have to be sworn in it will be with my hand on "On the Origin of Species" or something like that.
The funny thing that people are forgetting is that there is another country that elected a General as its first President after revolution. I think I have a few of his pictures in my wallet.
Yes but it is a lot harder for the US Congress to "crack down" on what a German company sells in other countries. I suppose they could kick their US subsidiary out but that would be incredibly unusual.
You might want to look up who the Muslim Brotherhood is. Nobody said no Muslims in government. It's the name of an opposition group that many, including myself, would be a step backwards for Egypt when it comes to freedom and equality.
A little research goes a long way from making yourself look foolish (even as an AC).
I agree 100% (and said something similar in another post). We can wish and hope they do the "right" thing in our opinion but it's their country and this revolution is about them making the choices.
To some extent. The biggest thing was that they weren't allowed to have their own political party and honestly I wish the US wouldn't let religious organizations form political parties either.
You still seem to be missing my point (even with all that verbiage). Maximum penalty CAN be death penalty or it can be a life sentence. You are right - the republican from Michigan doesn't make the ultimate decision but you can't argue that the right wants death pretty much without a trial and the left wants a trial which may end in life imprisonment.
And personally I prefer life imprisonment because you never know what future president might come along and pardon you.
If you look at some of my other posts I basically say the same thing. I never said they were terrorists. I just don't want to see Egypt become a religion run country - no matter what religion. It needs to stay secular.
There is more to a government than a president. I think when either of us say "winning" an election we are referring not just to the presidency but whatever legislative branch they decide on.
I'll be honest with you - if they were called the Christian Brotherhood, Jewish Brotherhood or even Buddhist Brotherhood I'd be equally against them taking power. Egypt needs a secular government with a firm separation of church and state. God should have no place in government.
But I do agree that their threat is overrated by the news companies.
Right exactly. As much as I don't think anybody outside of the middle east wants to see them win the elections there is nothing we or should do if they do win. From what I understand they really aren't that popular. They'll win some seats but not likely a majority.
Based on how well the Egyptian army has handled itself these past few weeks and how they tried to stay as independent as possible I think it may actually be a GOOD thing that they are taking over for now. Better the army than the Muslim Brotherhood.

Yeah this is a pretty unscientific study. Disappointing from Cornell.

Both "Spending money for the betterment of the general welfare" and "Regulate commerce between states and international trade" cover a lot of ground.

*By the way - he was also a Major General.

Sometimes research is just done for the sake of research. It doesn't always have to have a productive result.

Siemens is a German company.

Well the only problem in a country where there has been the same leader for decades is who exactly wasn't put in their position by him?
