Are you talking about social welfare?
where do you think people get this "sense of civic responsibility" from? And what stops people from rioting and looting in the first place - I mean, human beings are evolutionarily hunter gatherers. We take stuff.
The police don't keep people in check...
We only went and "violated the sovereignty of their nation by performing this raid". No biggie. Can you see nothing wrong with this?
Well it turns out the SEALS faced minimal resistance from OBL - they could have taken him alive. In civilised countries we afford everyone (even sick monsters...
When they're imposed against a brutal regime, they actually empower the regime whilst making its citizens suffer - take Iraq for example: millions of children died as a result of UN sanctions whilst Sadam Hussein hold of power was immeasurably strengthened.
They did however work in South...
If:
\delta x^\mu = a^\mu +w^{\mu}_{\nu}x^\nu
How would we go about working out
\delta_1 \delta_2 x^\mu
This is apparently equal to:
(w^{\mu}_{1}_\nu a^{\nu}_{2} + w^{\mu}_{1}_\lambda w^{\lambda}_{2}_\nu) x^\nu
but I can't understand what is going on with the indices - can someone help me...
Women (or people in general) should be free to do whatever they like as long their actions don't harm others (or themselves). But feminists would argue that a statistically signficant number of porn stars do go on to have serious mental health issues, and more significantly, their work...
Any stimulus package should address glaringly obvious long term problems eg. trade deficits and crumbling infrastructure. In particular, investment in infrastructure has a very high long-term multiplier and such investments will increase the standard of living for future generations.
Now...

I shouldn't have to tell you why porn is degrading to women - its obvious. When you have a situation where a man (or a group of men) 'enter' a woman's most personal and private space, for other men to ogle and drool at, this is clearly an example of degradation. The fact porn...
Well, take female porn 'actresses' - who you'd also consider "sexually aggressive" - they partake in a disgraceful industry, which is basically about the humiliation and degradation of women.
LG by wearing 'meat' depicts herself a sex object (ie. meat), not a human being. This isn't 'art' -...
The fame monster makes great gym music(!)
As an aside, am I the only person to find some her lyrics a bit eye brow raising (eg. 'I'll get him hard show him what I got' or 'I want to take a ride on your disco stick').
I get her message that people should be proud to be different but it...
Yes indeed, equal protection under the law is of crucial importance to any functioning democracy. You simply cannot have parallel systems of laws for certain groups of people.
A 'shariah-type relationship' is quintessentially sexist - are you saying shariah laws to do with marriage should...
Well, the concept of reciprocal altruism is accepted by mainstream evolutionary biologists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_altruism
I'm sorry to hear that:frown:

When did I say anything about competition?
The framework I described in my last post simply explains the biological or evolutionary basis for innate altruism: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4766490.stm
