The subtext of your comment was ambiguous until I stumbled upon this little gem on your website: http://rickbranson.com/ptw/ Your unfunny, offensive, 'parody' page, full of 'n-bombs' and a picture that is nothing if not racist, tidily exp

Quite frankly - you didn't respond to any of the objectives I raised. But I will respond strictly to the one's you've made up. #1 - You're treating the quoted text as (I quote) "a quote". It's not. It's a small piece of a much larger whole

I downvoted your(the above)comment. Why? #1 - You contradict yourself implicitly with this defense. If a quote needs more context to have impact, then it is a shitty quote, which is what the OP said plainly. #2 - 'Juvenille' and 'simple' ar

Wow - this is a powerful analysis of a powerful idea. He crystallizes a notion that I've always sensed subconsciously but never realized actually . The importance of the "first follower" is now etched into my mind. Thanks for sharing.

Wait, what...? Are you suggesting that the wealth and GDP of a continent are positively correlated with its area? How bizarre... I guess somebody forgot to tell Antarctica.

Downvote the above if you will, but there is truth in those words, if only masked behind palpable bitterness... ...and honestly - I feel the guy. We humans have a tendency towards the shameless worship of heroes. We seem to need to create l

Can someone with state-of-the-art knowledge of biology explain how in the world something like this could have evolved? It was my rudimentary understanding that Lamarckian inheritance had been debunked; how else then could such precise know

Ah - I see where you were going and totally agree with your sentiments. In my opinion, tribalism is simultaneously Africa's (nay, the World's) greatest potential catalyst to overcome its tremendous problems, and also its most devastating we

You tell the poor fellow to focus on his project, and then give him four ways to distract himself! Nevertheless... Regarding #3 : This is an excellent but intractable idea. The sheer number of languages in that region is too staggering to c

"There's no demand for that sort of thing here." Sir, with all due respect, kindly speak for yourself. I find your post offensive to good sense, pragmatism, and sensibility. If, and when a person chooses to share their lives with the enti

Similarly: "...secret squirrel double-plus alpha unrelease..." Mind if I use that? It would be a terrific title for an animal fighting game I've been itching to make.

This whole thread reeks of nonsensical, "things-we-cannot-say", Politically Correct, bullshit. Let us call a spade a spade shall we? Asians have a considerable and measurable white bias when it comes to aesthetics. http://edition.cnn.com

"...here on HN, where one of our core assumptions is..." Who comprises this 'our' that you so easily reference, and what matter is their assumptions to the actual truth of the OP's thesis? Cringe-inducing groupthink, in excelsis . Carefu

Not so fast. It seems you haven't even taken the time to follow your own proposition ( Intelligence, especially as operationalized by standardized testing, is as biological as height and athleticism. ) to its logical conclusion; for if you

I absolutely LOVE the sound of these Vuvuzelas - I don't understand why there is such a fuss over them. I find the drone puts me into an almost trance-like state where my focus and concentration abilities increase dramatically. I imagine I'

You have indeed said it before - but with all due respect ww.com is perhaps one of the shittiest websites I have ever had the displeasure to visit. From the horrific UI, to the icky spywarish ambiance, your website exudes an aura of danger.

Moral Relativism leads directly to logical contradiction - how can an action be both evil and not evil at the same time? Imagine if our judicial branch worked that way, would that lead to a sustainable society? Absolutely not . You couldn'
