Remember the phenomenon of so-called "white flight" whereby affluent white folks sought shelter in the suburbs from crime or (in the case of racists) exposure to racial/ethnic minorities? Guess what…Continue

Unseen replied to Misty: Baytheist Living!'s discussion 'Another Vegan Baby Death. :(' in the group Vegetarian & Vegan Atheist"Of course, maybe a baby born into a vegan family is better off dead.

Yet another crime against humanity by smart women:Our technology may be getting smarter, but a provocative new study suggests human intelligence is on the decline. In fact, it indicates that Westerners have lost 14 I.Q. points on average since the Victorian Era.What exactly explains this decline? Study co-author Dr. Jan te Nijenhuis, professor of work and organizational psychology at the University of Amsterdam, points to the fact that women of high intelligence tend to have fewer children than…See More

Unseen commented on Robyn's blog post 'Really messed up situation....'"A manager is in direct control over a subordinate's business life, so harrassment by a manager is less tolerable. "
Unseen commented on Robyn's blog post 'Really messed up situation....'"As for sexual harrassment by a manager, that is intolerable and illegal. If the company won't address it, she should take it to the outside authorities AND look for another job. "

Unseen commented on Robyn's blog post 'Really messed up situation....'"I don't know. Do you? How much should be left to her and how much should be up to management in terms of the behavior of customers and what a server is expected to tolerate. I don't think there's a universal standard but I can…"
Unseen commented on Robyn's blog post 'Really messed up situation....'"As for the cocktail server, I guess you'd have to define bad behavior.

Unseen commented on Robyn's blog post 'Really messed up situation....'"In different jobs there are different implied rules.

Unseen replied to Holo Gram's discussion 'Does every living animal have a consciousness?'"That doesn't really contribute to the discussion. Animals don't know about their own mortality even if the recognize that an associate shows no signs of life. They don't understand that everything dies, and that death is actually…"

The Sins Of Texas
Posted on September 6, 2011 at 2:19pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
If God sends hurricanes to punish Miami and New Orleans for their sinful ways, it's time for Texas to do some soul searching given the preview of hellfire they are getting now. Maybe it's due to Gov. Perry's alleged closeted homosexuality and infidelities. Woe betide Texas!
The magic returns to science

When I was in my youth, the world belonged to Aristotle as the father of hard-edged, logical, empirical science. Plato represented a view that the world of the senses is actually not real at all, but is just a reflection of a greatly different ultimate reality.
That was in the 1970's. A lot has happened since then in terms of our understanding of reality and it has implications for the relation of science and religion.

Your comments and those of the other prominent posters make me feel like I have found a place for clear thinking. Thanks for your posts, even the snarky ones. Cheers!
