I've seen normal, rational people, even one science PhD, turn to talking gibberish when discussing the world after lsd and mushrooms. The PhD no longer believes in the fundamentals of science or basics of microbiology that he studied.

The squalene in question that's derived from sharks has been used for decades. I've never heard of it before. Only now I do when it could be used to save untold human lives. Really?

Strangely, Assange's revelations haven't changed anything. Had they been the bombshells promised, there would be people upset, changes made. Look how different Snowden revelations were and how the public responded. Night and day,

There's zero evidence of torture and murder inside Chinese political prison facilities. Offenders simply disappear. Probably to all inclusive resorts since there's no evidence otherwise.

Lots of decent, innocent people were tortured and killed because of Assange. My mind is made up.

Pure speculation. Just like the states haven't had a war because they're the United States. Imagine if the states would have become independent countries. I can imagine the endless warfare. Nobel in Peace as clearly deserved as th

Is Finland uniformly academically excellent? Are Finns in America performing similar to Finns in Finland? Wouldn't it matter?

Americans, few having visited places like Finland, have a heaven-like perception of the nordic countries. Everyone lives happy lives, powered by public transportation, true equality, and unlimited healthcare unlike almost anywhere else. I&

The author suggests that because affirmative action was deemed a poor solution to the "problem" that too many Asian kids attended the school, the only choice left was to abandon the entrance exam. Maybe the racist "problem&q

Did China become a leader in stem cell research and what did it come up with in that research?

Americans, having traveled from center of one city to the center of another on a European train think trains connect even neighborhoods and suburbs of European cities. And that these trains are always running to serve you.

In theory, yes. But the people he's paying for have real crimes on their records, like assault and robbery. The only thing he takes into account is race. If black or latino, he pays. If you're not, you still don't get to vote

Funnier yet is that he knows who the convicted felons will be voting for. It's cheaper to pay their debt than to convince law biding citizens to vote for your guy.

As there are rights and privileges, there are also responsibilities. One is to maintain yourself within the bounds of the law. Seems like if you're not willing to take responsibility for your actions then you don't get to tell oth
