In the bush is probably more accurate than in the forest. The only types of forest we really have in Australia are rain forests and artificial pine forests for logging. Lyre birds tend to hang out in the bush land.
It has long been known that priming people in any number of ways affect test outcomes.
Telling women they are not as good at maths than men results in poorer scores of women in maths tests.
It has even been found that merely having to write your race before commencing in an intelligence test results in poorer scores for African Americans due to "stereotype threat", an effect that disappears when they are not required to write down their race. This has been offered as an explanation for the apparent poorer scores of African Americzns compared to white Americans in IQ tests.
I agree with V.N. Gay marriage and gay parenting are separate issues. I also disagree with Kaine that policies shouldn't be driven by minorities. What of policies regarding the accommodation of disabled individuals in public areas? I feel I must point out I'm not comparing gay people to the disabled, but few people would argue against policies regarding the rights of the small minority of disabled Americans. Or is it only minorities you disapprove of that shouldn't drive policies?
My brother in law collected WWII memorabilia including some Nazi stuff for a while - helmets, badges, arm bands etc... He certainly isn't a closet Nazi sympathiser; in fact being Ukrainian, many of his people were killed in the Holocaust. He is just fascinated with modern history.
I read somewhere it could be used by bakers to transport dough that is too soft to be lifted without mishaping its form (like an uncooked pretzel). I don't see why they can't just shape the dough straight on the baking tray though.
"As a matter of case; Jessss just used the argument from ignorance in a manner by stating that she did not see my point, and that if I had no point to make I should basically shut up."
By the way, thanks for the straw man but I never said I didn't see your point. My point (which you clearly missed) was that your points are too convoluted and inefficient to be effective, assuming your aim is to actually get through to others. Rather than wanting you to "shut up", I am attempting to encourage you to consider making your points less convoluted and more concise so that you don't waste so much time and effort typing comments many people won't end up reading.
You are clearly a thoughtful and intelligent person, but if you can't learn to communicate more effectively your time here is wasted.
I never implied you were a fool, and I never gave any indication as to how well I did or did not grasp your meaning, so do not presume to make assumptions either way. My point remains that your method of communication is inefficient. You cannot tell me that you could not possibly have made your point effectively without the use of 7 quotes within one comment. However seeing as you like quotes so much, here are some for you:
"The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do." - Thomas Jefferson
"He who trains his tongue to quote the learned sages, will be known far and wide as a smart ass." - Howard Kandel
@Ryan S, I didn't miss your "meaning", but it is not directly relevant to the topic at hand. If you have a point to make, make it. There is no need for convoluted tangents, the overuse of examples, and paraphrasing yourself multiple times. Surely you can see how ineffective your currect strategy is.
Yes Ryan S, but is it really necessary to let us know about your various influences, and your search for wisdom from the great thinkers, and the books you've read, and the specific evolutionary processes you can describe, and your youtube video that has nothing to do with this and all the praise you have received for it etc...
