Many are quick to label this person "dumb." But what is she missing by not knowing what Europe is? She's richer than her naysayers (if wealth is the measure of her self-worth) and doesn't need to impress anyone with her knowledge of world affairs (isn't that what it boils down to?)
Is this an example of a "dumb" american? Or is ignorance bliss?

I weigh a mere 130 pounds at nearly 6 feet. I eat until I am full, but it is very very difficult to gain weight. I play tennis and swim, but do not do any strength training as I am afraid I will lose more weight. What should I do?

Chasm / Re: Human rights
« on: December 26, 2011, 09:53:22 AM »One way to take on a human rights activist is by asking him the definition of human behavior. Any society will have some consensus of how to treat each other, most commonly a human rights activist will insist on equality. Then point out the inequality between people. If you have the nerves then you could ask him if he considers the rights of his children as important as the rights of the pedophile who would molest them. If he thinks the pedophile has equal rights then ask him why the pedophile should be locked up then. If he's hardcore humanist he will say the pedophile needs to be cured so he can return to society (in other cases he will say the pedophile needs punishment, if he says that then you've basically won alread
The idea of equal rights doesn't entail that people can't forfeit certain rights by violating the rights of others, so I don't really see your point here.
This was my contention as well. Umbrage, what say you? I like your argument, but I am not sure I can think of a counter for what would be considered forfeit as pointed out above, especially if the same violation is not culturally justified?

Chasm / Re: John Stuart Mill
« on: December 19, 2011, 01:41:20 PM »Never read it and don't plan to. Little of Mill is useful in today's politics (unless your a hardcore libertarian).
Can you justify your statement, if you have never read it? This is purely for my information.

What is the point of them? Do they have a place in the Hessian world?
Examinations are valuable for basic differentiation. I don't understand the question entirely, the motivation behind it is not clear to me. Is your concern poor examinations that do not reflect anything?
My question is due to the nature of simply memorising and spitting out that is the basis of most exams, mainly at high school level, before the "think before you write" exams kick in at college level. What is the point?

If only death is real, and life leads to death, then shouldn't life be real too?
