Shocking if True: Muslim Inbreeding
by metatron inhttp://goldismoney2.com/showthread.php?9030-muslim-inbreeding.
i read a brief muslim apologia piece on this and found it to be weak.
if these numbers are really true, it is shocking.

I can quite clearly remember reading nazi propaganda material from the 30s where inbreading amongst jews was said to have caused their deformaties and retardation.
Exactly.
That is exactly what this essay is: hate propaganda.
People who are Muslims are not genetically inferrior to people of other religions. (I can't believe that actually needs to be said, but I guess it does.)

Legend, Etta James in sad decline of health
by BluesBrother inonly 72, it is a shame when relatives haggle over your money..but this woman could sing in a way that made your hair stand on end..i only wish that i could have seen her in live concert.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12189910.

I've seen her live several times over the last 20 years or so.
Her voice is a true gift, to all of us, from god.
I recomend her autobiography, "The Rage To Survive: the Etta James Story." She's had an amazing life.
I just love her. That's all. Just had to share that.

(Obama did her dirty when he had Beyonce sing "At Last" at that ball instead of Etta. That was just wrong.)

I Believe The SixScreens Mystery Bethelite
by Gary1914 inmaybe i'm naive or just plain stupid, but i believe what the mystery bethelite says.
also, i don't think it's out of the ordinary that mary was concerned about going to the bathroom in the kingdom hall.. remember, the elder at bethel who was arrested because he took pictures of people using the bathroom?
that was hard to believe but it was absolutely true.

He also apparently has lied to Rick Frearon in the meantime by telling him both that he can't leave Bethel because "he knows too much" and because the WT officials threatened to DF his ENTIRE family if he left Bethel. NO WAY that is true.
I agree that if Johnny said those things he is probably not legit.
But remember it was Rick, over the top sensational Rick, who said that. We didn't hear Johnny say that.
So for me, the jury is still out.

Why Chinese Mothers are Superior

I work very closely with a Chinese mom. We talk about culture from time to time as she struggles to raise her children here, torn by her native culture and her adopted culture.
I've learned from her that:
In Western culture, having choices and making choices are very highly valued. For example, Western parents often spend a lot of time letting their children try out different sports and letting their child choose the one they like best. Western parents ask their children which class they like best, and then encourage that area of study. Western parents let their children choose their own clothes. Many Western parents even let their kids choose what they eat and where they sleep! Decisions, decisions, decisions. The more decisions a child makes for themselves, the better, thinks the Western parent. Therefore, Western children become very good decision makers, able to navigate our culture full of choices that values individuality.
Chinese culture does not place value on making choices. Chinese culture values academic success and family honor. Too many choices for a child would be considered too confusing and too distracting for the child. Too many choices would get in the way of what is most important to them: focus and learning. Since Chinese parents value academics very highly, Chinese parents spend their time teaching their children math and science and music. Therefore, Chinese children become very good at academics, able to navigate their culture of high expectations.
Western culture values the happiness and success of the individual.
Chinese culture values the success and honor of the family.
In America, pop musicians and rebels are superstars. The more individual and different the better.
In China, the best mathematicians in the country are the superstars. The mathematicians have fans and are adored. They are on TV and in magazines. Everyone wants to be a famous mathematician.
One culture's value is not ‘right’ and the other ‘wrong.’ They are just different.
Chinese mothers are superior at raising children who reflect Chinese values.
Western mothers are superior at raising children who reflect Western values.

Was I threatened by a student?
by laverite inwell, the new semester has just started.
as some of you know, i'm a college professor.
i was in my large lecture course yesterday (a couple hundred students).

A male student who was seated in the middle of the lecture hall (just slightly in on the right hand side) who had very dark hair and a medium-dark complexion (I couldn't discern the student's ethnicity) asked if I would still feel that way if I had a gun held to me and how I would answer then.
In my book, that is a threat.
If he was joking around he needs to understand the seriousness of what he said. There must be consequences. IMO he should be removed from your class at the very least. IF he thinks that's an ok thing to say, then he needs to get the STRONG message that it's NOT ok.
If he was seriously threatening or trying to intimidate you, he needs to handled very carefully because he's a dangerous nut who could become unhinged...
What a difficult and unnerving situation for you to be in. I'm really sorry this happened and you have to deal with it.
I'm very curious how administration handles this. Maybe you should set up a camera or recorder in that class. I don't know.
