Of course, since they are countable. But you didn't say they had to have positive measure...

Pick two distinct points p and q in [0,1] and let A = {p} and B = {q}. Cut the interval in half, to get [0,1/2] and [1/2,1] and choose a pair of distinct points from each ({a,b} and {c,d} say). Throw into A one point from each interval (say a and c), and do the same for B (b and d). Repeat...

Dexter likes to ponder and reinterpret the things he sees and hears; Meursault is much more passive, I don't remember him ever pausing to speak his mind. And while Dexter is rarely emotional, Meursault is totally emotionless it seems: unmoved by the death of his mother and almost indifferent to...

What does that have to do with what I asked?

From what I've gathered, the Muslim Brotherhood is not behind the protests, but only a small part of it. Nothing warranting the title of "being behind the scenes". All noted experts I've heard speak on the subject have said that in a free and fair election, the MB would not win a majority of...

I was answering this claim in particular: by MATLABdude: "The timing of this is terrible--it looks like people are out to 'get' him under spurious charges, rather than for legitimate reasons (which these may well be, especially if it's the Swedes who are pressing these)."

Bullocks. The Swedes provided assistance to the Nazis, even when they claimed to be Neutral. They're not angels. This an arrest warrant standing on very shaky allegations. All signs point to BS.

Many thanks micromass, you're clarified a few things for me. :smile:

Under the continuum hypothesis, we readily see that that |{a < \aleph_1 : \textrm{a is a cardinal}}| = \aleph_0 . What happens under the negation of CH? Is this equality still true or not? If the latter, always under the negation of CH, are there any infinite cardinals lambda for which the...

There are laws in Muslim countries to stop terrorism, believe it or not. By the same argument, Muslims actively seek to stop Muslim terrorists. So where's problem again? :rolleyes: As an aside: the vast majority of Muslims I have ever talked to on this matter are disengaged on the issue. They...

I don't understand the logic of that argument. One man is not responsible for another's actions. Should we have a problem with men because not enough actively seek to stop rapists? We shouldn't except someone to condemn or stop another's wrongdoings simply because they have a point in common.

Of course, whether they did is state secret. But it's highly rumored, and likely.

Straight from the quoted article. The US contributed towards the creation of the Taliban.

Ah, so it's another case of the US destabilizing a region and twarthing efforts towards modernization in the pursuit of its interests, only to later claim having moral autorithy. Why am I not surprised? :rolleyes:
