  1. Re:Untrue according to the study on The Brains of Men and Women Aren't Really That Different, Study Finds (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 0

    Slashdot went from being a site that loved hardcore science to one that now worships at the altar of political correctness, and this is super politically correct

    You don't think the National Academy of Science is "hardcore science"?

    Here is the supporting information from the peer-reviewed article, and this dope doesn't think it's "hardcore science".

  2. The physical structures are the same, sure, but the programming is vastly different.

    You may not realize it, but you've just given us the feminists' best argument, that men and women are programmed differently.

    The Ozarks seems a very odd space for them to settle.

    The Ozarks are beautiful. I have a luthier friend who lives there and I visit him every Spring. At least his little patch is how I expect heaven to be, except without the insects.

    It's still illegal to shoot patent trolls on sight?

    Yes, but it's only a $25 fine.

    They were reserved for system use.

    So, the system doesn't need them any more? Why doesn't anybody care about the poor system?

    You make a lot of sense. I'm not sure you belong here.

  8. Re:Far more abundant than lithium? on Researchers Create Sodium Battery In Industry Standard "18650" Format (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    The cost of raw materials tends to drop as the demand rises. This sounds counter intuitive but what happens is that technological advances in finding and extracting raw material generate price drops. Think shale oil.
    In theory the Earth is a finite resource, in practice human ingenuity overcomes scarceness.

    That's like saying, "I didn't die between 9am and 11am this morning, so I have overcome death!"

    Of course, it often gets confused for socialism in the US, because "socialism" is on its way to becoming a word like "hipster" where it means whatever you want it to mean.

    Well what are the socialist countries, then? What is all the "European-style Socialism" we're always hearing about and how the hell is Barack Obama a Socialist?

    Neither Sweden nor Finland is socialist. They are both capitalist countries, and in many ways are more capitalist than America.

    Please name 3 ways Sweden and Finland are "more capitalist" than America.

    the primary education system is partly privatized, with vouchers available to all

    So the government pays for all primary education? Sounds socialist to me.

  11. You're literally bitching that Catholics aren't Lutheran.

    No, I'm just debunking the notion that Jews see any convert as "just as Jewish" as they are. I suppose it's true if you're from a Left-wing progressive congregation, however.

    You ended up in the gulag right along with the rightists you helped to put there.

    Last June, I was in Sweden and Finland. I looked for gulags and couldn't find any. Maybe they hide them under all the hospitals and universities that are free for everyone.

    In the good old USA, on the other hand...

  14. By your measure, Americans can't live with Blacks, even though Blacks have exactly the same rights as any other American.

    You're catching on.

  15. You mean the Kaifeng Jews and Beta Israel?

    They're not Hasidic.

  16. Re:Sorry guys, Israel doesn't care what you think. on Israel Meets With Google and YouTube To Discuss Censoring Videos (middleeastmonitor.com) · · Score: 1

    Israel is not trying to censor speech. They're trying to stop incitement.
    In other words, they're trying to stop predominantly arabic language terrorist recruiting and training material.

    Sure sure. And we should censor all the pro-life videos so we can stop terrorist recruiting and training material.

    Since most terrorist killings in the US over the past decade have been white Christian men, we should censor Fox News and close churches, right?

    When has censorship ever been a solution?

  17. Israel has demonstrated that they do not mind living with Arabs.

  18. Yes and no. Anyone can convert, and no one can then consider you any less Jewish than any other Jew, no matter their pedigree.

    Then where are the black and Chinese Hasidic Jews?

    No, anyone can not convert and be considered just as Jewish as any other Jew. Maybe in some liberal US synagogue, but just look at the racist treatment African jews get in Israel.

  22. He said that he didn't think anti abortion was the motive. However wrong he may have been debating motive != supporting actions.

    The question is, why does he choose to debate the motive of a terrorist? Is he as charitable when it comes to terrorism committed by radical muslims?

    You know the answer already.

  23. as it seems like it was coincidence that he ended up there (story is looking more like he hit a bank and ended up at PP, being that no one from PP was actually hurt....)

    So when the police said that the shooter mentioned "baby parts" it was because he was at the local bank trying to withdraw baby parts?

    And the propane tanks he carried into the Planned Parenthood were going to be used for his camp stove?

    Jesus, man. Will you really twist yourself into a pretzel rationalizing terrorism just because you share the same ideology as the perpetrator?

  24. Re:News for Facebook employees on Facebook Expands Parental Leave Policy For All Employees Globally (mashable.com) · · Score: 2

    If you can take several months off, it just means the company doesn't really need you. Or, it means someone else is will have to work harder (with no extra pay) to make up for your absence

    That's why God made temporary workers. If the absence of one employee means "someone else will have to work harder", then companies need to examine their staffing strategy.

  25. which causes those insurances to go up in cost for everyone, even those not having kids.

    That's what's known as being pro-life, unlike some Americans, who think "pro-life" means terrorist attacks on Planned Parenthood clinics and shooting cops.
