  1. Largely because in the US european history is taught in public school, whereas Asian history is generally ignored.
  2. There would cease to be a need for humanity as well. Even animals use crude emotion to govern their actions. Without emotion there truly would be absolutely no reason to exist. Why would we want to progress in science if we had no emotion? What would stop people from just laying on the ground and doing nothing? There simply would be any reason to do anything. Truly, communism is seen as negative in of itself, that is only true of the type of government it spawns. It wouldn't need a totalitarian government if people had no emotion, ambition, or greed. But, without emotion (like I said before) there is simply no reason not to just lay down and die. I can't help but feel that you are trying to make some kind of point... If so, then out with it!
  3. This is a curious subject. Ice demons definition seems to be meant to make to greatest amount of peace and the least amount of conflict. But this seems, at further study, extremely dissatisfying when you take into account the absence of emotion and human differences. Why do anything? It seems you perfect world is not really a world of humans, but a world of mindless multi-celled organisms.
  4. http://www.txtwriter.com/Backgrounders/Compgenomes/compgenomes1.html What? http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/aug2005/nhgri-31.htm I am finding this extremely confusing.
  5. Hmmm, now that you mention it, I was wondering... How far away are we genically from non-ape mammals?
  6. Out of curiousity how far away are we from other mammals (besides othe primates)?
  7. I haven't been able to find how close a human is to another animal before (besides a chimp), and it's kinda hard to compare a human and a chimp with out some kind of control, or am I missing something else?
  8. It's the title of the thread that makes is so funny
  9. Things that taste sweet have a lot of energy in them. We evolved when there were not nearly as many sweet foods as we have now.
  10. "...after we conquered the Plane of Time"
  11. Are there any laws protecting the geese (as in endangered species ect.), if not can't you physically remove them from your property? If you can hear them when they aren't on your property, I would call the city. People complain all the time about loud music, I don't see how this is any different. If all else fails, buy a shot gun
  12. Yes but the republican party directly evolved into the future Republican party, whereas the democratic-republican party was only an influence to Martin's Democratic party, just like it was an influence to the whigs and the whigs (and some Federalist) were on the future republican party. So, if the democratic-republican party is just like the democratic party, it's also like the whig part (and part of the republican party), and all parties are pretty much the same everywhere and we can't make much distinction
  13. More like the three branches of natural science (instead of all science), social sciences are often forgoten for some reason.
  14. Do you mean the guy in the Constitutional convention (and vice president under...Monroe or Madison or something)? Dude from Massachusetts? Or are you talking about someone else, because he was a member of the democratic-republican party, which is not equatable to the modern democratic party, more to the republican party. The democratic-republican party isn't the same as the democratic party. Martin Van Bren is largely responsible for the democratic party, but borrowed a lot of ideas from Jefferson's democratic-republican party. It's kind of a spin off of the democratic-republican party. The modern democratic party has little in common with the old democratic party. Anyways, what did Gerry do? I imagine it has something to do with district making, gerrymandering (or something like that)? I must admit I don't know much about that.
  15. Well hey, welcome back
  16. That should probably depend on the intent of the scientist.
  17. Where have you been?
  18. I would tend to doubt this. Parties have died before, but that was largely in the first 60 70 years of the country, and for the last 150 years there have the same old two parties, and people are probaly too used to it for it to change.
  19. I don't think that "terrorism" can be a war tactic. "Warfare" and "terrorism" are mutually exclusive aren't they?
