  1. Middle Eastern families know more than anyone that to get along with neighboring states - that is, if you want to avoid being invade by them - you have to make as much children as they do or compensate your demographic inferiority with immigration.
  2. Economic theory is an idealized world where we find all sort of equilibriums precisely because consumers are formally rational and sovereign agents that is, they cannot be manipulated by producers' greed and workaholism.
  3. It is the contrary: Society doesn't allow easily its members to go back in the Real fusion state of Wholeness because it wants to construct a fantasy world where civility and politeness seem so easy to come by that they don't require such a fundamental regression.
  4. The purpose of trade is to satisfy consumers, not to safeguard jobs.
  5. To me, those who doesn't think it was and will always be a valid and rational question are so emotional that their first violent reaction can kill before they wake up to answer of their behavior.
  6. Mind altering habits are outside the scope of the Charter because their protection is not important.
  7. By definition, state borders should not be easy to cross.
  8. Christianity is against science mainly when it is interfering too radically with evolution/creation.
  9. The fundamental principle behind anti-discrimination protections in the Charter is protecting what is necessary to maintain one's self-respect. For instance, a lot of sections in the Charter are about French language because protecting French is necessary for maintaining Quebecers' self-respect.
  10. Vaccines are creations to contravene evolution.
  11. You have been murder!?
  12. Since your beginning on this thread, you are only whining about our conceptions of science!
  13. Thanks for reading them!
  14. If we, westerners, have problems with Middle East immigration, it is not because we are culturally so far apart; it is, on the contrary, because they are our neighbors since the dawn of our civilization. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/presssite/me...;bookkey=168188
  15. What I find funny about the reactions of the mother in relation to those virgins is that she seems not to believe such a thing. It is important because one seems less of a terrorist when she doesn't believe readily too fancy things about death.
  16. Look again! The topic is Dawkins as a preacher.
  17. This implies rather that the unemployed have stopped paying for food, rent and transportation since they lost their jobs but if they qualified to collect EI, they would begin to pay those expenses. The EI is meant to be an insurance that is, to get coverage when you lose something of value through no fault of your own. More than 40% of the unemployed right now have subscribed to get nothing.
  18. In the video you have found, his mother makes me laugh when she was asked about her son wanting to reach paradise with all the virgins in it.
  19. His father was probably ready to accuse Omar of treason more than anyone else.
  20. What is much closer to truth is that Omar asked to be killed or let to die in very good English at US Army medic.
  21. What credibility do you think you can have at wishing to forbid religion to enter in science class when you cannot stop speaking of science in a religion forum!?
  22. Unlike discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, personal tastes for altering your mind is not a "protected category".
  23. You are in the wrong forum: it is not the Health and Science Forum but the Religion and Politics one.
  24. Given the state of the economic relatively to the poor state of our environment, it is much better to restart the economy by investing in R&D to find innovative ways to make our houses greener than by directly allowing consumers to buy houses.
  25. Prince Harry aborted Afghan mission seems to me a very dubious joke.
