    National Intelligence and Suicide Rates

    The article said it was backed by a university, so I posted it. If it is wrong, then fine. I critisize when people engage in insult/name-calling and other logical fallacies. No one has proven the data I posted was wrong as yet. But yes, I can be wrong, I just need convincing before I...

    National Intelligence and Suicide Rates

    Everything I post has been researched by actual universities. So, what you are saying is that you believe that the universities themselves are wrong. That is fine, you are entitled to such an opinion. Yes, I am engaging in rational debate, see...

    University of Chicago Study: The Stupid are Outbreeding the Smart

    Insults/name-calling is not a valid argument. Regarding the article, I was curious as to whether it was legit or just a joke. If it is a joke, then we can disregard it. I did do a check at the University mentioned and couldn't find the name of the research leader or the study mentioned...

    Interview with Jon Entine: African-Americans in Sports

    What does the subjective word "racism" have to do with the data I posted? This thread is about Jon Entine's data, not about morality/racism. What you should be doing is sticking to the topic by finding data to contradict what Jon Entine said. *edited for off-topic content* Regards...

    That is what investigative reporters do: they put pieces together from a multitude of sources to come up with a final product.

    National Intelligence and Suicide Rates

    Feel free to set my post count to zero, and to even keep it there for ever, if it pleases you. I don't care to "show off" my post count, it is irrelevant to me. Also, it is irrelevant to me if one feels respect for me or not, I am just here to engage in rational debate, not to make friends...

    What is Transtopianism?

    Transtopians speculate at the creation of the Singularity: a point of accelerated intelligence where the resulting entity can directly control the expansion/retraction of the universe. Yes, lot's of speculation, but the idea still entertains me.

    News Classifying World Countries: Criteria and Distribution

    Israel is very wealthy, has the second best military in the world, has the most educated citizens. I would not call it a second world nation. I would call China second world, but soon to be the most powerful nation.

    News Free Speech Zone" - James Bovard, The American Conservative

    What lawyer is going to put his career/life on the line to sue the Secret Service? Do you ever wonder why the mainstream media, like CNN and Fox News, never cover these important topics? Make's you wonder if the media is actually free, or controlled.

    Is our understanding of reality limited by our reliance on logic?

    This reminds me of the movie "The Thirteenth Floor" where there was a population living in a city. One member one day found out that his world is not real and he is just a computer simulation and that all of his environment were just computer simulations. He was told that the computer...

    Iran Earthquake: 20,000 Killed, 2000 yr Old Citadel Destroyed

    Stories are often retracted after pressure from the government. This may not be the same case, but I would not be surprised if it were true. US soldiers looting Iraqi museum does not make Bush look good, so a retraction may have been necessary to maintain the status quo.

    Undergrad Space Station: Cost vs Value - Science Channel Review

    My opinion: if it can be done, then do it, period. Technology is my religion: I don't need a flat screen TV, but I will get one anyway because it's new and better, more sophisticated technology. No other justification is needed for me.

    News Murder and the Constitution: A Closer Look at the Right to Life

    The Constitution, as seen in the eyes of Americans, is an outdated man-made piece of paper that does not really apply today. Both the elites and average think the Constitution should change as society changes. I somewhat agree to that, but not completely. I do fully support the first...
