Well, I did say 'some' :) The people with no interest in Humanities will not take humanities anyway. That the interest in humanities is decreasing points directly to the fact that people who actually _like_ humanities are disencha

Why the down vote?

by cubancigar11 13y ago
Interest in humanities is fading because humanities have failed the world. Instead of understanding the society and bringing about some positive change, they have become a tool for cultural domination. Some even say that the role of humanit

I remember this. All these 'viruses' are from a book about virus. I still have it somewhere in my hometown. It had a floppy with demo programs. Wired has really run out of content to post :)

I have no idea about what is going on in Turkey or what has happened before, much less why. That said, the image you have posted is the sort of propaganda that I saw after 9/11. As a matter of fact, the women participating in a parade

As I understand, a nearby star will strip off most of the gas and make it more akin to a comet, so pretty much opposite of fusion will happen if it were to get close to a star.

No. That was my attempt at trolling, btw. Seriously though, Chinese is NOT the most read language on this website, and that is what matters.

"I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster." Seriously though, is there a way to be nationalist and not be racist? Nationalism, as a concept that started in Europe, is entrenched in racism. I can see that you are fro

I didn't get the connection. What would that be?

If you mean to say that being Italian makes them more ready to look down on others, then of course YES. Euro-style nationalism and its other part known as Christianity are based upon the very idea of us-vs-them where 'we' are supe

I suppose what he/she means is that they are running it like a Mafia. 'was the fact they were "Italian" supposed to count against them?' Shouldn't it? Specially in an article where uncontacted people, literally

That is ridiculous. Please, have some imagination. In preparation of The Demo, just think about the algorithms that were discovered and technologies that were invented. Unveiling of iPhone was a marketing gimmick. And please look outside Am

You do realize that it is not true, right? That British had plenty of appetite for violence. Where do people get this idea that British were compassionate to Indian cause? Just look for the hero Churchill's view of Indians on the web.

I have been doing this for past two years for my paper on social privilege and reservation. Thanks to this guy my job might just become harder.

"...Shankar was born in April 7, 1920, in Benares, a northern Indian city famous for its temples to the Hindu god Vishnu..." For someone who confuses Shiva (the destroyer) with Vishnu (the maintainer), one has to wonder how much truth there

Thanks for that link. I have been wondering about it for several years myself. This needs to be brought up more often.

Directly quoting from Orientalism (E. Said) since he said it best: "The French philosopher Gaston Bachelard once wrote an analysis of what he called the poetics of space. The inside of a house, he said, acquires a sense of intimacy, secrecy

Is there a way to change the TERM variable. It is by default set to xterm, while it should be set to xterm-256color because it supports 256 colors.

Nothing like that happens at PayPal. Don't know what was being smoked when that slide was created. I assume that it is part of the new 'it is all marketing, dummy' initiative.

No. Just that every where I look these days there is an article about Iran. Every next day there is some new article about Iran doing something. And when it isn't then there are articles like these - dug up from the history to fill some new

I am tired of this Anti-Iran propaganda in the news.

Any ebook version?

Thanks for saying this. I am surprised the author didn't see this when the DVD seller was surprised he didn't buy anything from him. The DVD seller is not less hungry or rich than the beggars, but just chosen to improve his situation by sel

How about Buddha? At no point was he an outcast or object of hatred for normal people. He was at every point supported in his quest. More I think about it, more I realize that it is western culture of 'our way or the highway' that Theil is

Caste system - I knew it will be the first reply. So why don't YOU tell me how caste system was a scapegoat? How come a system of stratification be about an individual leader?

by cubancigar11 14y ago
What a tripe! There are a lot of cultures where scapegoats were never present (India and China come to my mind). Polarizing figures with leadership qualities polarize the people around them. That doesn't make them founders! They are two dif
