You will probably never see an anthropologist endorse a global campaign like this, because the sorts of thinking are very different. Given that the American Anthropological Association is quite happy to weigh in on exactly this subject po

As far as your preference of company, I don't think that human rights activism and anthropology are particularly mutually exclusive. But on your other point, it is one thing to dispassionately note the behaviours of others, however this doe

At some point the structure of marriage and how it fits into society is a matter only for the people of that society, not a matter for outsiders. There are no outsiders. While you were away we found out that people from different cultures

It seems to me that the idea of marrying someone you want is a human right is nothing more than projecting our cultural preferences out to the rest of the world. Being forced to spend your life with someone who you don't want, is far more

Issues of social equality are every employers immediate business, and most shareholders are not driven by the lobbying positions that companies hold, but rather a desire to profit. Also, if disagreeing with a company's positions meant havin

How about a bus company owned by the richest man in the country lobbying against homosexuality being included within sex education in schools and then privately bankrolling a referendum, as happened in Scotland. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/

I thought cheez was giving personal opinion, not speaking for the world. Is fairly obvious that it is not universally held to be good. The UN only recently removed homosexuality from the list of things states are not allowed to execute thei

Unless the jobs appear quickly then presumably the US might see a lot of the scientists move abroad. According to the Royal Society in London, China is set to spend more than the US on scientific research by the year 2020 and already publis

There are no universally held beliefs. Even for things that seem fairly solid, you can always find people in disagreement.

I'm sure that in a recycling context the glue can be undone with either heat or a chisel. So, your proposed recycling solution is to attack a glued on lithium battery with heat and/or a chisel. Can we film you doing this for charity or so

most glass these days that is sent for recycling is thrown into giant mountains of unwanted glass that is never used by anyone. That isn't generally true, mostly because it is valuable as long as you have glass production nearby. The UK d

I would have thought that education of individuals is nearly always good for the group, otherwise an "us and them" attitude becomes prevalent.

I wonder if you could somehow ride the field lines when these things snap, like some sort of cosmic railgun for firing things off into deep space.

Given his past and the megaupload business model, you have to fuck up pretty badly to turn Kim into this much of a hero. If Hollywood had chased a civil case against him, they would have almost certainly won it and shut down his business, w

Of course it implies movement. You have to move your finger to touch the screen. If it said straight down and had no qualifier, then it would be confusing as then down could have two common meanings. However it does have a qualifier wit

It isn't ambiguous in the slightest as it tells you not to move your fingers on the screen, so the only reasonable conclusion from this is that the direction down is from above the screen onto the surface, not laterally across the surface.

I thought you wanted the tester to slide their finger down the screen or something like that So how does that level up with the instruction : don't move your fingers on the surface ? Please never try using any industrial machinery.

FRAND has no precise legal definition and has not had any reasonable test in court that would establish precedent, as far as I am aware.
