So the message you want to send with this is that if the average Black man was as clever and motivated as you, they would, as a whole, be more successful?
Interesting and more than a little megalomaniacal theory you have there.

If I Woke Up As A Black Man.....
by metatron ini'm kinda surprized that no one has ever designed a racial version of "metamorphosis".
"black like me" made a big impression on me as a youth.
it's overdue for a revival.. you wake up one morning maybe and see yourself in a mirror: "wtf!

For posters who are vegans or vegetarians- do you feel healthier then you did on a diet that included meat?
by Chemical Emotions ini've researched this extensively, but i'm interested in people's opinions and experiences.. .
i...am considering becoming a vegan, or at least a vegetarian..

For me it makes a HUGE difference in the way I feel.
Mind you, this is not just "a vegetarian" or "vegan" diet, but a healthy, almost vegan diet.
The biggest areas of difference I see are:
Much more energy
Much less muscle soreness
Much less back pain
Skin issues seem to do much better.

Atheists: Lowest Retention Rate Next to JWs
by breakfast of champions inarticle found here.. .
those who grow up in an atheist household are least likely to maintain their beliefs about religion as adults, according to a study by georgetown university's center for applied research in the apostolate (cara).only about 30 percent of those who grow up in an atheist household remain atheists as adults.
this "retention rate" was the lowest among the 20 separate categories in the study.. there were 1,387 atheists (weighted) in the survey.

kinda funny.
It would be interesting to know how many of those polled where in homes where both parents indentified as atheist.
Or this might all be a childish misunderstanding, "well son, I'm a theist and your mother is too".
In any case, the (CARA) study is unlikely to be honest. Just the fact that atheism is listed as a "faith" shows that it is a poll by idiots for idiots.

For those of you who do not believe in capital punishment...
by SixofNine inthat is, for those of you who actually think that executing children is wrong, what types of discipline do you find more effective?
i'm not a parent but when dealing with kids, i've seen that solitary confinements tend to make kids feel isolated and can really hurt them.
if they're near others and are checked up on frequently, it seems ok. but when they're completely ignored, that is just bad.

Beating down and talking with them eye-to-eye sometimes seems to help.
Yelling doesn't ever work, but if they bite you and you say very clearly OW THAT HURTS, GUARD! loudly, even yelling, it gets their attention, but not if you yell a lot at other times.
Just my limited experience. :)
If anyone comments on here about how effective a hit on kids can be, etc etc, you will be posting OFF TOPIC.

I messed myself up...
by MC RubberMallet inthe past few weeks have been hectic.. but i went through an experience that has messed me up since.. i met up with an old friend one day who i know went apostate.
it was a really bad day for me, which was really bad for me since i've been taking ttatt as a speed bump but still moving along in life with an ok adjustment.
he since brought a really nice house, cars, new job, everything he always wanted without feeling guilt.

SixofNine , the 2007 article to which you refer is specifically dealing with vascular trauma surgery on the battlefield and not with cardiac surgery in a modern hospital where there is time and opportunity for best practice.
Uhm, yeah, that is very true and rather self-evident. We can learn a lot from vascular trauma surgery on the battlefield. One thing we learn is that blood saves lives on the battlefield - Just as it does in emergency rooms everywhere.

Oops. Blood for the life-saving win. Over, and over, and over again.
From: http://www.sassit.co.za/Journals/Vascular/Vasc%20surg%20on%20the%20modern%20battlefield.pdf
As experience with these injuries has evolved, so has the philosophy on
the bene?ts of early rapid infusion of blood products, high plasma ratios,
Fig. 1. Prehospital hemorrhage control is optimized with an Israeli dressing and two tourniquets (A) for a soldier who had deep cavitary fragment wounds of the lower extremities and
transected femoral artery (B). The SOF Tactical Tourniquet is shown more inferiorly with
the aluminum windless.
1196 FOX & STARNESrecombinant VIIa, and minimal crystalloid use in trauma
[26,27,29,30,35,37]. This new way of thinking known as damage control resuscitation (DCR) is a necessary concept when considering simultaneous
limb salvage e?orts in combat casualties and should be combined with other
traditional damage control maneuvers. In essence this practice serves to customize a vascular surgical plan based on the wounds, physiologic condition,
and response to resuscitation e?orts.
During the spring of 2006, the 10th
Combat Support Hospital, located in
Baghdad, Iraq, embraced the concept of DCR, and the early experience with
this strategy has been recently reported [54]. The general guidelines called
for early transfusion of blood products, warmed and infused rapidly,
when the patients arrived in the admitting area (Fig. 2). An emergency release consisted of 4 units of type O PRBCs and 4 units of AB plasma, but
could include fresh whole blood if the situation dictated. The 1:1 ratio of
fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to red blood cell units, was intentionally high,
and this has been recently shown to reduce mortality [27].Three vials of
rFVIIa (2.4 mg 3) were typically given in the emergency department
(ED), operating room (OR), and intensive care unit (ICU). The goal of these
interventions was a normal INR. In particular, crystalloid ?uids were kept
to an absolute minimum to avoid further iatrogenic physiologic derangement [26]. Heparin was not used in all cases and was often limited to a locally
injected half dose when used. For isolated extremity trauma, rFVIIa was
used sparingly and reserved for cases in which hemorrhage was not surgically treatable or controlled with hemostatic dressings. Trometamol; tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane (THAM) is a biologically inert amino alcohol of low toxicity that bu?ers carbon dioxide and acids in vitro and in
vivo. In trauma, THAM is a potent and e?ective bu?ering agent that can
be used to counter the coagulopathic e?ects of a progressive lactic acidosis
[55,56]. THAM was routinely given when the admission base de?cit was less
than 10 or a massive transfusion was required. Calcium chloride was also
supplemented based on transfusion requirements and ionized calcium levels
that were obtained frequently and treated accordingly.
Based on this experience, the authors continue to advocate for the early
implementation of blood products, with equal ratios of plasma to packed
cells, fresh whole blood, selective use of rFVIIa, and minimal crystalloid
use when planning for vascular reconstructions in severely injured casualties. These principles represent an evolution in current traditional damage
control philosophy in which amputation was previously favored over elaborate vascular surgery. Modern advancements in DCR during this con?ict
may have expanded the opportunity for battle?eld surgeons to provide de-
?nitive procedures at the initial operative setting.

I watched "Game Change" I`m curious about americans take on this movie,and their attitude to Sarah Palin
by smiddy ini`m an australian and i am interested in world affairs,though i`m certainly no expert.previous to watching this movie , i have some information about sarah palin via media,and i know that can be biased , so what i am asking of you, the americans on this board what is your veiw of her ?

Was this movie a true reflection of Sarah Palin ?
I haven't seen the movie, but I've read interviews with some of the other key people on McCain's team who are featured in the movie, and they seem for the most part to call it an accurate and fair portrayal.
I know when the movie first came out, some people otherwise inclined actually found some sympathy for the devi...er.. Palin.
Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to see if it's on Netflix.
