I would definitley tell this woman that you met yesterday to change how she dresses. I would then hand her a list of other things she should change in order to be worthy of dating you, along with things you will and won't do sexually and what you expect from her in this respect. Women love to know who's in charge. Good luck.

She shows too much cleavage. What should I say to her?
by Iamallcool ini met a gorgeous lady yesterday and she shows too much cleavage.
i see her facebook page, all of her pictures has cleavage in them, i would not want to date her because she shows too much all the time.
i am tempted to tell her to cover up her cleavage, she might not like me telling her that.

Will Religion Become Extinct?
by satinka inhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12811197.
religion may become extinct in nine nations, study saysby jason palmer, science and technology reporter, bbc news, dallas.
a study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers.. the study found a steady rise in those claiming no religious affiliation.. the team's mathematical model attempts to account for the interplay between the number of religious respondents and the social motives behind being one.. the result, reported at the american physical society meeting in dallas, us, indicates that religion will all but die out altogether in those countries.. the team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: australia, austria, canada, the czech republic, finland, ireland, the netherlands, new zealand and switzerland.. nonlinear dynamics is invoked to explain a wide range of physical phenomena in which a number of factors play a part.. one of the team, daniel abrams of northwestern university, put forth a similar model in 2003 to put a numerical basis behind the decline of lesser-spoken world languages.. at its heart is the competition between speakers of different languages, and the "utility" of speaking one instead of another.. "the idea is pretty simple," said richard wiener of the research corporation for science advancement, and the university of arizona.. "it posits that social groups that have more members are going to be more attractive to join, and it posits that social groups have a social status or utility.. "for example in languages, there can be greater utility or status in speaking spanish instead of [the dying language] quechuan in peru, and similarly there's some kind of status or utility in being a member of a religion or not.".

Religion will be more and more margianalized. Twenty years ago research was hard. Verifying a claim was hard. With the internet those things are trivial. Twenty years from now those things will be virtually instantaneous and almost subliminal. Each generation becomes more technically literate and more educated. This is happening at an exponential level. Soon the myths of the past will be as much associated with the oldest and least technically literate generation as handwritten letters are today. There will simply be no place in modern society for those beliefs. This wll happen much sooner in the first world than the third. I don't believe the total eradication of religion will happen in the next fifty years. I do believe that the next fifty years will see religion become irrelevant in the first world and margianalized in the third as the older generations die off and younger generations have more and more ubiquitous access to accurate information.

To My Fellow Skeptics
by TD inokay...i'm a hardcore skeptic and i admit it.
i have no use for the supernatural at all.. having said that though, once in a great, great while i'm truly, honestly stumped.
one instance was a book i read in the early 1970's entitled, arigo: surgeon of the rusty knife.

I am not familiar with this particular "psychic surgeon". I think a detailed explanation of how he performs this feat would be quite interesting. I don't believe, however, that simply because it hasn't been explained means that a supernatural explanation is likely. He is performing a common illusion that has been repeated by numerous faith healers and magicians all over the world, the most famous of them these days being Oprah's new darling "John of God".
It's like the trick where a woman is cut in half and then put back together unharmed. It is a very convincing trick if done by a skilled magician. Any magician can tell you multiple ways that the illusion is performed. But if a magician comes along and performs it in a way other than the usual methods, and no one can figure out how he does it, I doubt many would come to the conclusion that he is the one human alive that can actually cut a person in half and than put them back together using supernatural forces.

"Curved towards your mouth". Lol. It's curved towards his mouth because he chose to hold it that way. It could be pointing away from his mouth, to the side, or even at the ground if he chose to hold it differently. What a genius.
As Leolaia pointed out, that banana is the result of human engineering and resembles a "natural" banana about as much as a Capuccino resembles a coffee bean.

leavingwt, we must be the same age. I was in 5th grade, I had a "joint class" with 2 teachers and twice the usual number of students. As an adult looking back I realize that's because one of my teachers was ancient and practically senile, but it's impossible to fire a teacher in the U.S. and there are laws about how many students can be in a class, so this was a neat solution as to how they could cram 50 + students into one classroom. Anyway, I remember my teacher (the one that was still all there) hearing about it from a student, asking the senile one "Is this true?" And then wheeling a TV into our class so that we could watch the news coverage. I remember my teacher was crying. I remember I was surprised, because I assumed that going into space was a dangerous business and I had just assumed that the space shuttles probably blew up all the time.

I've posted on this before, and I am not a scholar. Leolaia is clearly far more versed on this subject than I. She has posited some very plausible hypotheses on how the legend came about. For many of us, myself included, the origin of how the myth could have come about is interesting, but not nearly as important to us personally as is the question of whether or not the biblical account could possibly be accurate.
I have done some reading on the subject and listened to a college course on ancient Egypt (published by The Learning Company). It was very eye opening and I reccommend it to anyone with an interest in ancient Egypt. It is quite clear from what I've learned that the bible's account is nowhere near true. As I've stated, I am not a scholar, so here are some quotes from people that ARE scholars:
"Despite the mass of contemporary records that have been unearthed in Egypt, not one historical reference to the presence of the Israelites has yet been found there. Not a single mention of Joseph, the Pharaoh's 'Grand Vizier'. Not a word about Moses, or the spectacular flight from Egypt and the destruction of the pursuing Egyptian army."
– Magnus Magnusson, The Archaeology of the Bible Lands - BC, p43
"Neither Moses, nor an enslaved Israel nor the event of this Exodus are recorded in any known ancient records outside the Bible ...
Although its climate has preserved the tiniest traces of ancient bedouin encampments and the sparse 5000-year-old villages of mine workers there is not a single trace of Moses or the Israelites."
– John Romer, Testament, pp57/8.

3,000,000 still sounds like an awful lot of Israelites to me in that day and age - especially wandering around that long without a trace of confirming archeology or historical reference...
Yes it would have been. More people, in fact, than the entire population of Egypt. Egypt at it's peak never had more than 800,000 residents. Scholars say the land couldn't have supported any more than that. It was while listening to a college course on ancient Egypt that my doubts about the bible finally reached the tipping point. A few other problems with the Jewish Exodus that I remember:
1. Not only is there no written record of any of the events in Exodus in Egypt, there is no written record of any Jewish slave ever having set foot in Egypt, ever. This from a culture that has left us one of, if not the most extensive written records of any culture. We have recipes, childrens' diaries, letters, political documents, almost anything you can imagine. Yet No Egyptian ever once mentioned his Israelite slave. Ever. This seems very unusual considering that, if the bible's three million number were accurate, Jewish slaves would have been about eighty percent of the population. Which brings me to the second point:
2. The Isralites left no evidence behind in Egypt. No broken pottery, no written records of their own, no mezuzas on door frames. Nothing. Not a scrap. When they packed up to leave, they must have been very thorough.
3. Not only was the distance they were traveling relatively short, it was full of Egyptian outposts. The soldiers stationed there kept records of the merchants and other travelers that past. Can you imagine the conversation that happened every time three million Jews passed by?
"Excuse me officer. Not sure if you remember me. My name's Moses. I led my people by here about 6 months ago..."
"Nope. Sorry. Doesn't ring a bell".
"Really? It seems like the type of thing you'd remember. We're the largest pilgrimage in the history of mankind after all. It's not like six months ago was the first time we came by. We've been walking by here for twenty years now..."
"Sorry Mo. Just isn't clicking."
"Pillar of fire lighting up the sky at night? Nothing?""Nope".
"Well maybe this time you should write it down!"
"Nah. I'll remember. Can I help you with something?"
"Yes. I'm pretty sure these directions you gave me are wrong..."
There is a lot more wrong with the account, but like I told the Elder's that tried to help me with my "doubts", if you can't explain those problems, why bother going into the rest?
