It is a biological strategy. If the eggs die, the tribe ceases to exist. Men are expendable in emergencies.

Views on the golden ratio??
by Freedom rocks inwhat are your views on the golden ratio or fibonacci sequence?
i know jws and some other groups use this as proof of gods existence.
i'm still looking into the debate but was wondering what others thought.

Meh. It's just a pattern. Follow the math here. It is generalized to *any* series where the next number is the sum of the previous two:

What this means is: pick any two positive integers, any. Use those numbers to start the series. Calculate the ratio of n / n-1, and it will converge to the golden ratio each time.
In other words, there's nothing special about Fibonacci numbers - it is just the pattern it makes as you calculate the ratio of the the nth number and the one before it. There are other series as well, sum of squares, etc. They all make patterns.
The mistake is thinking the patterns imply God.

LMAO. I need some popcorn. All of these laws, no doubt, were written with men in mind. Of course, because women are sugar and spice. But pretty much all of these things I would say women do much more than men. It’s going to be turned around on women at some point, and that will be hilarious.
Its basically illegal to cheat. Good lord. Good lord.

Liberal vs. Democrat in the U.S.A.
by OnTheWayOut init seems that many believe that a liberal in the usa must be a democrat, pretty much following the party core teachings and some even think it means approving the party history of, during the 19th century, supporting or tolerated slavery and opposing civil rights reforms after the civil war.
some even insist that a liberal loves anything and everything obama did..
balderdash!!.

@Apostate Anonymous:
Right, but you understand my irritation?
Goes something like this:
“Trump is a nationalist, and you support him?”
“Yes, he is, and I voted for him.”
“You fascist, racist bastard!”
“Wait, what? Nationalism is bad?”
“Yeah... hello, Nazis!! You said it, Trump is a nationalist, just like all the racists are.”
*face palm*

Define “white nationalist”.
A nationalist is someone who wishes political independence for his/her country - being concerned with his/her country as a citizen, as opposed to other countries in which the person is NOT a citizen.
A white nationalist, hopefully, is not much different than a black nationalist; just different skin color.
But I have a sneaking suspicion it’s not like that, right? These are the word games.

@OTWO:
I know you said you didn’t want to discuss each topic, but you did mention generally:
I believe in socialist policies on schools and healthcare and an equalizing in both areas.
And this:
Mainly, I am a liberal because I believe that laws and budgets should put people first.
And this:
Socialism has not worked in the world because true socialism has not existed. In current socialisms, some people are more "equal" than others.
Socialism will never work, no matter how it is tried. Prices, profits, losses, entrepreneurship, and interest rates all perform very important functions. The extent to which those mechanisms are undermined is the extent to which you end up with the effects you decry.
I think your post is a good one - but consider that I do believe you when you say you want people put first. I believe that you want to help people. But also consider that if someone in the right disagrees with you, they don’t mean to imply they are against people raising their standard of living.
To put it more concisely: I believe the economic effects of policies you favor will, in fact, undermine the same effects you wish those policies to accomplish.
Socialism can’t calculate. And half socialist programs can calculate better, but not great:

@humbled:
Here it is:
It started in some other thread and degraded into another claim of racism. This OPs video was referenced in here too, including an interview with the same man that was the topic of the above thread.
I actually spent a while looking into it, and it rubbed me the wrong way to hear racism brought into it. In the end, I found a video of Sam Harris on the same topic.
