    News What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan?

    The reason for talking about Muslim countries together is that Muslims, by and large, are quite devout and view religion as very important in their lives, to a degree unimaginable by most Westerners. Of course there are exceptions, but our continued military presence on Muslim soil is seen as an...

    Why interacting with women leaves men cognitively impared

    The study, as well as real-life observations, confirms that women are less socially awkward than men. Not that they won't get shy or tongue-tied, but that it just isn't on the same level as men. They had students do a Stroop test, wherein you're presented with text like this and have to say...

    News What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan?

    This is the biggest misconception out there. We have been in their backyard only since after WWII. Were we to leave the entire Muslim world alone, there would be no reason for attacking the United States. Of course, we have been going to war with the muslim world, occupying the muslim world...

    News What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan?

    Say what you want about Obama's domestic policies, in regards to Afghanistan there's little practical difference between him and Bush. The Neocon foreign policy ideal is that we can go invade countries, topple their governments, the people will be happy about it and start voting for...

    News What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan?

    What ''real progress'' do you imagine is possible that hasn't been achieved in 10 years? The Neocon dream is that Afghanistan will be a non-islamist democracy friendly to the U.S. But that's just a dream. If we left Afghanistan alone, it would probably revert to an Islamic government that...

    News What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan?

    The government, which blatantly rigged the last election, by all rights won't be able to stand without constant U.S. support. Karzai has been in power for 8 years. He was the choice of Washington from the get-go, not the choice of Afghanistan. If he can't stand on his own two feet by now, what...

    Why interacting with women leaves men cognitively impared

    ''Movies and television shows are full of scenes where a man tries unsuccessfully to interact with a pretty woman. In many cases, the potential suitor ends up acting foolishly despite his best attempts to impress. It seems like his brain isn’t working quite properly and according to new...

    News What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan?

    What is ''the mission'' in Afghanistan? What do supporters of the war imagine will be achieved by 5 or 10 more years of war? Do we want to just keep fighting until the Afghans bend over and accept U.S. occupation without retaliation?

    Personality differences can be overcome?

    Sometimes relationships start out well and descend into negativity. I've had it too, where things start out as sweet as can be and then later you're getting mad and arguing all the time. I don't think it's about communication. Communicating why you're having problems doesn't excuse the...

    Navigating Post-Breakup Awkwardness: Do You Still Talk to Your Exes?

    You should not try to get back together with her. Move on, cut off contact, and focus yourself on a new girl or girls. Have you been with anyone knew since this last girlfriend? I'd guess not. It's easy to perseverate on an ex when you're not with anyone new, especially after being dumped...

    So, got a number and email, but

    Great that you found a girl who's so honest and straightforward. Judging from how eager she sounds to hang out with you, you should kiss her next time you see her. Not right off the bad, but y'know, assuming you want to kiss her, you ought to do it instead of putting it off. Don't be...

    Nerds pick up chicks at Comicon, using starcraft lingo etc.

    Judge for yourself, but after watching a number of videos, it seems real to me. Not that these guys are the best example of how to pick up girls, there are a million different ways you can do it. Just an example that even normal looking guys who're purposely clowning around can get numbers...

    So, got a number and email, but

    Hope it works for you man, though in general, going nuts about how great someone is and how much you liked them after only spending a short amount of time with them comes off poorly. You seem desperate, she begins to think she's above you. Don't want to put her above you. You're getting back...

    Nerds pick up chicks at Comicon, using starcraft lingo etc.

    ''So I was scouting the area to reveal more of the map and I noticed you guys, and wanted to say hi'' These guys do all sorts of silly ways to meet girls, acting like Jersey Shore D-bags, using rap lyrics, getting in wheelchairs, cockblocking each other, just to show how easy it really is...
