First it was Ian Smith, now Kerrie with the PMs giving me warnings. I thought this forum supported academic freedom. I guess I was wrong. I hope no one on the administration team here ever criticizes the society of the past for persecuting intellectuals like Galileo, Copernicus, and Socrates...

I personally agree with you. But, Professor John Hartung, coming from a Jewish background, has an interest in focusing on the Judeo-Christian aspect, while not denying anti-woman attitudes in other cultures as well.

Today, I just completed reading this study of anti-woman cultural norms throughout Western history. It explains the historical origins of these beliefs and how the passing of these cultural memes throughout the generations affected the well-being of females: Written by Professor John Hartung...

I want the whole world to unite under Physics Forums; this forum will be their new God.

My knowledge is limited here, so I can't garantee that the following thoughts of mine make any sense: I don't see why the human brain has to be mimicked by connecting billions of computers, instead of just using one computer with the memory and processing capacity required to run a...

The more academic topics this forum covers, the more knowledge we gain. Plus, membership will also increase. I disagree with those that say we already have too many sections; I would like to see even more sections, but only so long as they are related to academia.

Hong Kong, China (enjoy this city while you can, because it is on the list of countries to be invaded by the powers that be) http://home.eduhi.at/teacher/pammer/reisen/1999_asien/images/Hong%20Kong%20(1).jpg http://www.whi.de/dario/gfx/hongkong_skyline_klein.jpg...

I'm all for creating a species of "Datas" from Star Trek: the Next Generation, but without the emotions, just pure rational thought. I'm not a fan of fleshy humans.

But it is also true the people learn from history, and America has learned from history that "tables turn naturally every few centuries" so they are taking action to ensure that America's table never turns. One way they are doing this is by invading and economically manipulating any nation that...

Ignoring the genetic aspects, I should also mention that Communism held china back in terms of economic success, but now that capitalism is growing there, they now have the fastest growing economy in the world.

When I say New York City, I always ignore the ghettos and simply view Manhatten as the only part of the city. But of course, Manhatten has Harlem . . .
