  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

  Determining the accuracy of the mayan calendar

  http://www.webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-mayan.html
  

  Did the Mayas Think a Year Was 365 Days?

  Although there were only 365 days in the Haab year, the Mayas were aware that a year is slightly longer than 365 days, and in fact, many of the month-names are associated with the seasons; Yaxkin, for example, means "new or strong sun" and, at the beginning of the Long Count, 1 Yaxkin was the day after the winter solstice, when the sun starts to shine for a longer period of time and higher in the sky. When the Long Count was put into motion, it was started at 7.13.0.0.0, and 0 Yaxkin corresponded with Midwinter Day, as it did at 13.0.0.0.0 back in 3114 B.C.E. The available evidence indicates that the Mayas estimated that a 365-day year precessed through all the seasons twice in 7.13.0.0.0 or 1,101,600 days.

  We can therefore derive a value for the Mayan estimate of the year by dividing 1,101,600 by 365, subtracting 2, and taking that number and dividing 1,101,600 by the result, which gives us an answer of 365.242036 days, which is slightly more accurate than the 365.2425 days of the Gregorian calendar.

  (This apparent accuracy could, however, be a simple coincidence. The Mayas estimated that a 365-day year precessed through all the seasons twice in 7.13.0.0.0 days. These numbers are only accurate to 2-3 digits. Suppose the 7.13.0.0.0 days had corresponded to 2.001 cycles rather than 2 cycles of the 365-day year, would the Mayas have noticed?)

  In ancient times, the Mayans had a tradition of a 360-day year. But by the 4th century B.C.E. they took a different approach than either Europeans or Asians. They maintained three different calendars at the same time. In one of them, they divided a 365-day year into eighteen 20-day months followed by a five-day period that was part of no month. The five-day period was considered to be unlucky.

  10 Pre-European Native American Achievements

  When Europeans first discovered North America, they described the indigenous people that they found there as primitive and savage. However, our understanding of human societies has come a long way since then, and we can now appreciate that many aspects of Native American civilizations were actually far more advanced than most of Europe at that time. Below, we've listed ten of the greatest achievements that the Native Americans made before the arrival of Europeans:

  1. Many of their cultures were matrilineal.

  This meant that men and women shared duties and power equally. Thousands of years before European women would begin the struggle for their own equality, Native American women already had equal rights to their men. In fact, it was Native American women who initially inspired European women to fight back against being second-class citizens.

  2. They were extremely healthy.

  This is because they understood the importance of good nutrition and regular bathing. While Europe was being constantly afflicted by regular plagues and famines, the Native Americans were in top form.

  3. They had impressive city-building skills.

  The Native Americans managed to construct cities that were bigger and a lot more complex than most European ones at the time. While Europeans were busy emptying filthy chamber pots out of windows onto the streets below, many Native American cities had access to fully-functional sanitation systems.

  4. They were innovative doctors.

  While Europeans were still using many questionable medical interventions, such as bloodletting, the Native Americans made use of a huge number of medicinal plants and herbs, which are still considered to be effective by today's standards. They also made use of syringes, aspirin, and even relatively complex surgical procedures.

  5. They made sure that everyone was properly taken care of.

  Within traditional Native American cultures, everyone from the smallest kids to the oldest grandparents was adequately taken care of and provided for. This was a far cry from the European systems of the time, which only ensured that the rich got richer, while the working classes suffered in misery.

  6. They have the oldest continuous democracy in the world.

  In 909AD, Native Americans established the Haudenasaunee People’s Confederacy which is still active today. However, while they were freely reaping the fruits of democracy, most of Europe was still bending the knee to royalty and waging war against anyone they felt superior to. In fact, this type of democracy actually served as the inspiration and model for the US constitution.

  7. They were brilliant inventors.

  Just a few of the things that they invented include snow goggles, snowshoes, toboggans, kayaks, and canoes. They also learned to create and cultivate rubber and maple syrup.

  8. They were highly advanced farmers.

  Around 70% of the world's crops today were originally cultivated in the pre-European Americas. These include potatoes, tomatoes, rice, and corn. They were also completely aware of the benefits of crop rotation, as well as the medicinal properties of thousands of plants.

  9. They were highly strategic when it came to planning.

  Instead of having one giant city in the center of the continent and expanding outwards, they instead built a huge number of smaller settlements, spreading them out across the land. The type of settlement built would then be constructed in such a way that makes it ideal for its climate and purpose.

  10. They were exceptionally accurate time-keepers.

  Native American calendars were so precise that they were only 19 minutes off by the 5th century BC. This is an achievement that no other civilization at the time even came remotely close to.

  european invasion of the americas decimated the native population so impossible to say what they would have accomplished. 15th century europe was not exactly a great place to be

  european civilization has accomplished much to be admired but is a double-edged sword which has also brought mankind to the brink of extinction from a variety of self-created threats

  Validity of IQ testing is hardly a given, especially when applied to large groups. Correlation or causation????

  IQ tests today

  Debate over what it means to be “intelligent” and whether or not the IQ test is a robust tool of measurement continues to elicit strong and often opposing reactions today. Some researchers say that intelligence is a concept specific to a particular culture. They maintain that it appears differently depending on the context – in the same way that many cultural behaviours would. For example, burping may be seen as an indicator of enjoyment of a meal or a sign of praise for the host in some cultures and impolite in others.

  What may be considered intelligent in one environment, therefore, might not in others. For example, knowledge about medicinal herbs is seen as a form of intelligence in certain communities within Africa, but does not correlate with high performance on traditional Western academic intelligence tests.

  According to some researchers, the “cultural specificity” of intelligence makes IQ tests biased towards the environments in which they were developed – namely white, Western society. This makes them potentially problematic in culturally diverse settings. The application of the same test among different communities would fail to recognise the different cultural values that shape what each community values as intelligent behaviour.

  Going even further, given the IQ test’s history of being used to further questionable and sometimes racially-motivated beliefs about what different groups of people are capable of, some researchers say such tests cannot objectively and equally measure an individual’s intelligence at all.

  harges against a man accused of molesting his 4-year-old cousin in a york county jehovah’s witness kingdom hall in 2005 have been dismissed partly because the alleged offenses occurred when he was a juvenile.. john logan haugh, now 26, who now lives in delaware, was charged in may of this year with two counts of indecent assault of a person under the age of 13 in a case that shed light on the how the jehovah’s witnesses handle child sexual assault cases.

  just curious.. when you started to wake up to the truth about the truth, did the shock and the whole experience distract you from your usual activities such as performing at your place of work?.

  did you become so consumed by researching, and the subsequent factual discoveries, that it affected your ability to carry out daily tasks?.
