a british museum has canceled a lecture by dr. james watson, co-discoverer of the dna double helix, after he claimed black people are less intelligent than whites in a recent newspaper interview.. watson, who won the 1962 nobel prize for his part in discovering the structure of dna, provoked a storm of criticism after his comments were published in the sunday times.. the eminent biologist told the british newspaper he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really.".

watson, 79, had been due to give a lecture at london's science museum on friday but the museum canceled his appearance, saying his comments had "gone beyond the point of acceptable debate.".

why does hollywood use special effects for demonized movies if demons are supposed to be real?

that has bothered me for years.

i did ask this question in a tiny post on another thread but thought this question needed some considering.

It's not the unions, silly.....they are too busy attacking new converts to the society, so they demand a high price!!

hello again.... ok..i have the christmas bug already, and am wondering when everyone actually puts up all the clips and hang their lights?

i understand traditionally lights go on the day after thanksgiving...right?

so...my question is do you start that day or weeks before so you can sit back and enjoy the lights getting flipped on the day after thanksgiving??

It seems like when I was a kid, Christmas stuff didn't go up until after Thanksgiving. This year, a couple of weeks ago, I was in Lowes, and they had their man made trees up and Christmas music blaring. It was great! It was a "commercially spiritual experience" for me.

it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .
