our various governments are complicated business.... and those that know how to play the game by knowing the most rules.... seem to be more successful.

I leave the country for one minute.... and this happens

RE: should a man judge a woman by the mistakes of her past

men and women judge each other all the time, the question is just what kind of mistake are we talking about?

yikes! china drinking water from the great lakes.... must be the canadian side, I don't even think anyone wants to drink water from the great lakes....

that must be a heck of a transportation problem..... not sure I find that economically feasible.

RE: what divides us from God

Sorry, I am taking this from an article posted on the internet - these are written - not by me. Here is the first part of the article.

A century and a half ago, French physician Pierre Paul Broca found that patients with damage to part of the brain's frontal lobe were unable to speak more than a few words. Later dubbed Broca's area, this region is believed to be critical for speech production and some aspects of language comprehension. However, in recent years neuroscientists have observed activity in Broca's area when people perform cognitive tasks that have nothing to do with language, such as solving math problems or holding information in working memory.

RE: what divides us from God

I mis-spoke - not in all people's belief in god rather that there are some mental illness that manifest their illness in hearing god's voice believing they are jesus, delusions of speaking and hearing angels.... not all people who believe in god are crazy and not all crazy folk believe in god..... This is just a small group of crazy folk who have god talk directly to them and tell them to do stuff.

The concepts were initial from the further studies of what is called Broca's brain - and the evolution of development of our brain -

Kanwisher and Fedorenko are members of MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research. John Duncan, a professor of neuroscience at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit of the Medical Research Council in the United Kingdom, is also an author of the paper.

A general role Broca's area is located in the left inferior frontal cortex, above and behind the left eye. For this study, the researchers set out to pinpoint the functions of distinct sections of Broca's area by scanning subjects with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as they performed a variety of cognitive tasks.

To locate language-selective areas, the researchers asked subjects to read either meaningful sentences or sequences of nonwords. A subset of Broca's area lit up much more when the subjects processed meaningful sentences than when they had to interpret nonwords. The researchers then measured brain activity as the subjects performed easy and difficult versions of general cognitive tasks, such as doing a math problem or holding a set of locations in memory.

Parts of Broca's area lit up during the more demanding versions of those tasks. Critically, however, these regions were spatially distinct from the regions involved in the language task. These data allowed the researchers to map, for each subject, two distinct regions of Broca's area—one selectively involved in language, the other involved in responding to many demanding cognitive tasks. The general region surrounds the language region, but the exact shapes and locations of the borders between the two vary from person to person.

The general-function region of Broca's area appears to be part of a larger network sometimes called the multiple demand network, which is active when the brain is tackling a challenging task that requires a great deal of focus. This network is distributed across frontal and parietal lobes in both hemispheres of the brain, and all of its components appear to communicate with one another. The language-selective section of Broca's area also appears to be part of a larger network devoted to language processing, spread throughout the brain's left hemisphere.

The findings provide evidence that Broca's area should not be considered to have uniform functionality, says Peter Hagoort, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Hagoort, who was not involved in this study, adds that more work is needed to determine whether the language-selective areas might also be involved in any other aspects of cognitive function. "For instance, the language-selective region might play a role in the perception of music, which was not tested in the current study," he says.

water is more of precious resource than oil.

fact USA gets most of it's natural gas and oil from Canada.

Wars are started by all kinds of reasons..... usually some civil conflict within the area first.... and of course wars kill people..... and wars are ugly..... and always there will be people who are peace makers and war mongers.... it is human....

and there are always the spoils of war.....

RE: what divides us from God

it is interesting because science seems to support the link to belief in god and hearing god speak directly (hearing voices) and some forms of mental illness - either through brain disease or brain injury.

RE: It`s every Americans right to bear arms. Do you think this law should be repealed or not?.

Do I think this "law" should be repealed? Quick and simple answer NO - this is the second amendment to the constitution. So no - would I like to see changes to how this is enacted and interpreted - you bet - taken from the internet dictionary

The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights.
The right to bear arms predates the Bill of Rights; the Second Amendment was based partially on the right to bear arms in English common-law, and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. This right was described by Sir William Blackstone (commonly referred to simply as "Blackstone") as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state. Academic inquiry into the purpose, scope, and effect of the amendment has been controversial and subject to numerous interpretations.

RE: Is it a valid argument from a Vegetarian .........

why does everyone think they have to justify their lifestyle - if a Vegetarian said this it is rather stupid thing to say because we all believe that vegetables in plant life - and the operative word is life.

so of course no it is not a valid argument.

I'm bored now, someone please entertain me! any requests from Scotland?
