25% got it right
1 in 4=25% of people are morons.
Therefore according to the poster, americans who know their flags are morons. Or is it just the poster?
Why did your wife get gall bladder stones?
Why does your mom need to take a pill for the rest of her life?
Why do you get shingles?
Why did your friends appendix get inflammed?
I used to have severe migraines. I could have sedated myself for the rest of my life like the doctors say, i choose to not cover up the symptom but get rid of the problem.
Dr's said i need knee surgery, again instead of covering up the symptom i chose to correct it.
Vision problems, told to wear glasses, again, i got rid of the problem instead of getting rid of the symptom.
The body is an amazing machine. 'Symptoms' are it's way of communicating that something is going wrong inside the body. Removing somebody's gall bladder DOES NOT get rid of the reason why gall bladder stones were forming. Sure it gets rid of the stones, but that's because there's no more gall bladder!! So you've now taken away one of the body's indicators to show that something is wrong, the wrongness is still there, now it's hiding.
People with shortness of breath should learn how to inhale. Hell, most people should, most people don't seem to know how to breathe properly. It's all those damn heels on shoes. Look it up in a kinesiology book if you think i'm whacked, but forward shifting of the center of gravity leads to tension throughout the whole body and restricts rib movements in breathing.
The beauty of fasting is that it works for people who don't know how to relax. The body will start to shut down unnecessary expenditures of energy when fasting. So it's either relax or pass out, and the body usually chooses to relax. Walk around without tension for a bit and you'll forget that what it was like to have all that tension.
Ah, yes, what flaw would that be? That the professor sees his class as a place of learning, and you see it at as a place of cheating so you can get to your future goals without doing any work?
You're right. What a poor misguided individual to have not taken into account selfish, lazy people.
Take a look at most of the objects made in american stores, where are they made? The US is a horrible polluter and it's responsible for much of the pollution from other countries because it gets things produced in other countries.
Remember, they aren't necessarily buying products from other countries, they're going there and building the products cheaply with lots of pollution to export back into the US.
Human brains are very, very poor at doing arithmetic and remembering lots of stuff. Fortunately, computers are excellent at these things, so computers are what will be doing that sort of stuff from now on, like it or not.
You're just plain wrong. Just because mainstream society and most people don't know how to use their minds instead of being used by them, doesn't mean that the brain isn't capable of these things. In fact, we know it is, people do it all the time.
Just because you don't know, nor do you know of, any easy method to do math in your head does not mean it's possible.
I used to solve all my math questions with one line answers, because that's how MY method worked. I got 50% for a whole class one time because even though i was getting the right answers i couldn't do it the non-intuitive, complicated, multi line answers that they taught in school. Math is easy when you don't do it the western way.
Good social skills when you're a child has nothing to do with interacting with your 'peers'. Their peers during the school years have social skills that are of little use when interacting with anyone that is not a teenager.
Fundamentalist Christians, why do some of you insist that God could not have used evolution in creation? Is God not omnipotent?"
Scientists, why do some of you insist that god has nothing to do with creation? Isn't science supposed to be open minded and objective?
Btw, i'm neither. I'm not stupid enough to limit myself to two non-exclusive viewpoints, which is all science and religion are. Just viewpoints to try and understand the underlying reality of the world that we're thrust into.
When you believe in either one, you're lost in the illusion.

Thats what kefir is for, or some of those outrageously priced probiotics.

Hey, that sounds just like academia!
Waste disposal in the human system depends entirely on rhythmic muscular contraction/relaxation.
Stop moving body parts and garbage starts to build up. It's simple mechanics.

ah, no colors in your world eh?
Ah! The American way!
Shame on them. Don't they know that in our world only the 'external objective reality' matters???
It's not a clever mix if a) it doesn't communicate the concept b) it sounds stupid. :)

Yup, and our teenage kids should reproduce freely as well.
Remember, they aren't necessarily buying products from other countries, they're going there and building the products cheaply with lots of pollution to export back into the US.
We could go back to making soap out of soap and not detergent.
There's your problem, you checked Dell! If they figured out how to sell computers without power supplies, i'm sure they'd make those optional as well.
Typical western thinking. Get rid of the symptom and the problem should disappear right?
Once people grow up, and nations like the big bully to the south, it's going to be much different.
And all just because people live in fear and don't open themselves to other people.
This comment shows lack of insight and/or knowledge of projectors.
Or are you only capable of bitching?
It's already been easily proven that people using their minds can get answers faster than someone punching all those numbers into a calculator.
Of course there is a trick! You have to know how to use your mind!
That would be an excellent class to teach people exactly how the real world works!
Or, seven most effective marketing strategies in western civ.
