Oh woops, you're quite right. My appologies, Mr./Ms. Onlinepornrpon, if you felt I was insinuating anything untoward.

I would just like to take this oportunity to be the first to welcome our newest member, Onlinepornporn! I'm sure I speak for all of us here when I say we look forward to your cunning thoughts and penetrating insight.

I have a plain tan-brown western-style belt with a shiny buckle that i bought from some cowboy shop in calgary. I wear it all the time. It looks surprisingly good with a ride range of pants (not just jeans). It helps that i generally dress with fairly nice pants shirts/sweaters, so the belt is...

:p

Bah what's wrong with you people? That song is great and the video is also hilarious. I mean c'mon, it's about the opposite of what so many people 'round here complain about what's wrong with hip hop (though admittedly this is more rnb). It's got a goofy sense of humour, it's warm and pretty far...

Tea, you do realize that at this level of hairsplitting/redefinition/ass-covering "race" kinda looses its appeal as an "easy shorthand"? The fact that you'd have to preface any mention of race in general conversation with a 15-minute description of what you "actually" mean==maybe you're not...

Yes! Good to see more monkey ball love here. My personal fave mini game was always four-player monkey tennis, which usually results in just as much yelling in disgust at your teammate as it does the other team. And don't sleep on main game! if you can get to the end of that you will have...

I realized after I posted that my examples weren't necessarily the best (hence my second-guessing edit), but my general point still stands. Why choose a bunch of geographically grouped hereditary physical differences as being important enough to call "race". The very act of calling some set of...

But why do you need to use the word "race" to describe the difference in skin pigmentations between different people? Why do you see different skin colours and a couple other physical features and say "i will call this race"? Why don't you consider short red-heads a race, or tall left-handed...

The thing is that the racial classifications that they are using are the exact same ones that have been used by racists to discriminate against people in the first place. It's not the research methods and statistics that they use that are faulty, it's the classification of people along...

I'd just like to point out that, in regard to the "100 year" trend of IQ differences referenced in the first link guybrush posted, that the early versions of the IQ test used to have such zingers as "On a sinking boat who should you save first? a) yourself b)your family/friends c)women children...

Okay that was an absolutely horrifying read. Just...FUCK

Yeah, its frustrating actually, because I think its the right idea just applied to the wrong piece of technology. I heard a great story from some visiting professor (can't remember who...or some of the details of the story...damn you memory!). Anyway, it was about these rural, traditional...

True, but the infrastructure required for wifi is way higher than for cellphones. The range of the two are just not comparable at all, really. With a few cell towers you can cover a huge amount of area, which is especially important if you're trying to reach poor rural areas and not just the...

It's a nice idea but I think mms is quite right that a laptop is not going to help people a whole lot in really rough conditions. On the other hand, the penetration of cell phones into third world countries is really high (I could find the statistic but I'm too lazy), there are apparently a lot...

I remember now what I really hate about facebook is not facebook itself but people having conversations about what they and they're friends have been up to on facebook. stories about what your friends have been up to tend to be tedious enough, but stories about what they've been up to on...

Have you people seen this story about the children's toy that, when eaten, turns into GHB??? It looks like a really fun toy too! I kinda want to see if I can pick some up before the recall goes into full effect...

You forgot the most important thing, that this will all be streamed on to your web-enabled GPS smartphone, so you can get context-aware, individualized adds for the McDonalds you just walked by giving you a deal on a combo-meal designed to particularly fill the caloric intake you need to make up...

May I just be the first to comment that when you're actually on drugs these threads get kinda complicated. please start thread on coffee i will need that tomorrow.

well, one thing preceding another thing is hardly an argument for it being more important, but I do agree that rescuing "health" is a pretty fundamental precurser to an effective rebellion against any sort of system. I think though that maybe the things being advocated by nomad and gek are sort...
