No biologist will ever be able to explain why man is the only animal for whom defecation is posing a problem.

Canadians divided over creation and evolution

Let HIV/AIDS victims know that their virus comes from scientific experimentations and surgeries on apes and then on humans. -
Khadr should make us ashamed to be Canadian

Princess Diana had been the scapegoat of all those combating boredom through voyeurism. -
Khadr - Court rules he must be Repatriated
benny replied to Keepitsimple's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You give more evidence of your tendency to search for a scapegoat. Someone who is enjoying sadism is not at all demonstrating that he is the only one to bear the blame. -
In Toronto, people go hungry all the time
benny replied to tango's topic in Local Politics in Canada
Not only is work an outdated modern concept, but it was a stillborn concept right at the beginning of modernity. Right from its inception, work was entirely dominated by capital. Surplus work is thus the only concept that is sound. Work that is entirely captured by capital is surplus work. Surplus work is overwork but it is also much worst than that, it is work turned against workers. Work turned against workers is simply a kind of expropriation. In other words, work turned against workers accelerates the automation of production techniques. For a few capitalists to appropriate all incomes generated by automated production, what is sadly needed is to trap all other people in a position where they have to kill each other to enter a constantly shrinking labor market. Methodism has grown from a small Protestant sect to a worldwide chase against the unemployed. Capitalists believe that none-workers are wasting their life (missing their "calling") by not accumulating wealth protestant-style. Since Hesiod's WORKS AND DAYS, the Western world has tried to solve political conflicts by putting the masses to work. Humanity now sees the result of this solution: for having fear to share the natural resources directly through politics, we have spoiled and polluted nature. The polytheist Hesiod was always using the plural form of work(s); John Calvin has imposed the singular form. Regrouping the various human activities necessary to maintain our metabolism allows Protestantism/capitalism to exploit human energy systematically. -
We don't have to bother with what science and math say about movement anymore since Diogenes the Cynic has solved zeno's paradox only by walking across two lines draw on the sand.

Super-string is the "new" God of physics.

Einstein was so reluctant to admit reality itself is probabilistic by nature that another physicist comes to reply to him: don't tell God what he has to do.

Stephen Hawking, with other physicists, is used to ask himself does God play dice.

Is it time to de-criminalize Pot posession?

Regulating the credit market has already proven itself impracticable, imagine if we normalize more of what fragile people end up buying with borrowed money. -

By being able to describe coldly what a terrorist do shows that you are not terrorize by people you like to call terrorists and therefore that your accusation is phony. The Shariah is nothing new but it is going to more extremes because interpersonal relations in the Western world have become more and more a meat market. -
Because physicists use more formal models and look at a more fuzzy (virtual) reality than biologists, the game played by people like Dawkins is children's play compares to the much more ghostly game played by people like Hawking.

It is an incredibly remark only for those who forget that offering oneself as a scapegoat is the main function of a head of state. -

But the rich find easier to go live in a tax heaven than to pay for public programs. -

Also, updating our citizenship requirements cannot be aimed at draining more efficiently the rest of the world of its best brains. -

I can imagine Harper in a hunger strike to show how stubborn he is in his refusal to obey the court. -

More perhaps! Like attacking the mirror where one sees his own image. -

Canadian federal court hasn't rule that Khadr must be repatriated but that the Canadian government has to demand that the United States send him home as soon as possible. -

Tax is used to finance public health and you say that pot is a health problem. -

M.Dancer and G_Bambino share something with terrorists: trying to destroy by worming their way in others' mind. -
Obama + Bernanke = Inflation

What use is there for a monetary policy to maintain a reputation of being able to stay committed to fix rules when the real economy of the country has itself lost for ever its good reputation? -
Don't forget to link religion and politics: Science can become a (state) religion when a government wants to persuade school children to choose a scientific vocation.

Total consumption doesn't matter as much as the consumption of the most vulnerable (predisposed) group of consumers.
