The plague was only an issue because of the population explosion and condensement into cities that was enabled because of the agricultural revolution. And it became a problem because of the ability for faster and further ranging travel -- e.g., the crusades and Venetian merchant fleets.
What about the sanctity of "drinking buddies" or "shopping partners" or even "carpool associates" -- what is so special about relationships based on a specific activity that makes it sacred and demands that it be renamed to fit the description of another. If one guy get's pleasure from watching football and another likes anal intercourse, what's the difference? If they both happen to have a room mate who enjoys similar activities, shouldn't they both be awarded the same privileges under law? And what makes one relationship more like marriage than another? If the former masturbates at halftime, the distinguishing element of ejaculation is eliminated.
You can't collaborate with the competition, you have to beat them or else you don't get the sale. Women who actually have jobs and earn their own money understand this prinical: when presented with two identical articles of clothing at different stores at different prices they almost always choose the one that costs more, to show others that they can spend more.
Okay, so maybe they don't understand the example precisely, but they understand the principal of "winning" because they care about the label or the receipt only to the extent that it makes them feel "better"
Lots of men get passed up for promotion, or get their ideas ignored or stole too. But the ones that don't get fired for "lack of professionalism and enthusiasm" don't spend all day every day backbiting and wasting HR and upper management time with complaints.
That's the difference. It doesn't have anything to do with your "misogynist" boss or "boys club mentality" and has everything to do with your own sexism, pride, and sense of entitlement.
Remember the search for the missing link? They thought it was Piltdown man, but when it turned out to be a hoax they said that the link must be further back. Now we shuttle around a bunch of sacred plaster piltdown skulls and wax and nylon reproductions with a few shards of bone in holy boxes to museums and cathedrals and try to keep quiet about the "missing link"
The only reason people ever thought the "origin of the species" was in Africa is because it supported their argument that blacks (and Khosians) are less "evolved" than whites (and Chinese). As evidence, they point out that black people look (and act) more like monkeys, which everyone knows, come from Africa. When the need to demonize Chinese arrived, it was a happy coincidence to learn that they also have monkeys in Asia, though they seem to be slightly cuter and cleverer than their African simian counterparts, though also (strangly coincidentally) not as big and agressive.
What makes someone a scientist? Is there a special store that sells lab coats and only those who purchase their lab coat from that store are REAL scientists? Or is there a secret-society that emblazons their clipboard with a seal of authenticity if they swear to something similar to the Hippocratic oath? Do you have to send in a number of coupons and box tops or vote a certain way in federal elections and a different way in local ones?
Hey, I'm a light shade of brown too! I'm a brown-african-american just like everyone else. Now that we're all classified under one category, let's give it a simpler name. How about "man"? Now, since we're all the same, but obviously there are also differences among us, in order to describe those differences let's pick things like various shades of brown and differentiate them. You be "dark brown", he can be "medium brown" and I'll be "light brown." But that girl is medium brown too, and clearly different from him. I know, let's use geographical origin to describe the difference. He can be medium-brown-descended-originally-from-africa-but- for-the-past-million-or-so-years-his-anscestors-ha ve-been-living-in-asia and for her, something equally long winded with the word "the-region-currently-within-the-political-boundar ies-of-brazil" instead of "Asia"
What makes you think life has to be organic as we understand it. I don't believe robots are overtaking the world, but it's at least conceivable that "life" could exist based on Iron-carbon alloys and silicon crystals, why not something else. It used to be fashionable to speculate about methane breathing or sulphide composed creatures, and in fact we have such diversity on Earth.
And it's actually such simpleton racism that motivates these academic multi-evolutionists. They presuppose whites and blacks shouldn't be married and then try to claim that they can't possibly produce offspring, therefore the union must be unholy, and then go home to their "domestic partner" and complain the the Jews are Nazis because some hook-nosed TA (who happens to be Italian) was making out with the Aryan co-ed sitting in the front row of his required lecture they'd been fantasizing about.
The genetic diversity in Africa comes from the Arabs, Egyptians, Berbers, and Afrikaners. None of whom live in central Africa (the "origin of the species) and all of whom (Except the Egyptians) migrated there quite recently. The rift valley, in fact all of Negro Africans have *way* less genetic diversity than England.
If it did have all that junk: AOL, Norton, etc.; they could probably sell it considerably cheaper. Companies *pay* to have you put that crap on your computer. They're buying advertising.
What happens when we have a completely useless product delivered on time and exactly on budget? Or one that is worse than useless. How many application have you seen that are worse than a pen, paper, and filing cabinet? It's got to be close to 99%
Yeah, our current crop of IT managers with English and Marine Biology degrees should solve the problems the Physics and Electrical Engineering boys couldn't wrap their brains around.
The reason Arby's has the money to be a sponsored result and Bill's deli doesn't is because more people preferred Arby's product and because we live in a free society: they voted for it with their wallet and stomach. Now you may think that Bill makes a better sandwich than Arby, and you are entitled to your opinion, but it is a very petty gastronomic tyranny to try to force everyone else to agree with you, and threatening to kill people and steal money from Arby's, your sister-in-law (with a 401-K that includes stock in Arby's), me (and every other taxpayer), and thousands of undocumented workers (you probably would kill them just for having brown skin anyway, right?)
It's a good bet if your GPS coordinates match those of a train station, the train schedule is something you might be interested in. If the next train happens to be going to the sports stadium, you might be interested in whatever event is going on there tonight.
You're saying that you could take a 5 minute stroll and be able to communicate instantly with people anywhere in the world? Technology is truly amazing!
Why are they called trial lawyers when most of them never work on a single case that could even go to trial? They are tort lawyers and only pursue suits and maybe contract disputes, both civil cases withouth trials, plaintiffs, or defendants.
They're going to try to make the web stateful just for easy "rating" purposes?
If advertizers listen to Nielsen the sites like Google will "trick" their sites to hold open connections or force constant refreshs to prove how long they are open. Eventually someone will realize an open browser in the background is no good and they will try to force focus or make browsers modal. Goodbye tabbed browsing. Goodbye windowing systems. Goodbye chairs without automatically locking seatbelts that make you sit through commercials before viewing your search results.

If men evolved from monkeys, then what did the monkeys evolve from?

There used to be competitive DSL service too.
Maybe the problem is with the W3C validator? All those sites seem to work fine for millions of people.

De Beers actually has a pretty big stake in alternative energy, doing Biodiesel production.

The United States came into existence as recently as the tail end of the 18th century.
