  1. I don’t think the local intuitive feeling of morning, for instance, would be lost. The circadian rhythm would remain and would overcome the numbers previous meaning. It’s for this reason I think this is an untenable idea; not to mention the question, why change?
  2. That's one way to close a thread.
  3. A recent BBC Horizon program “What’s the right diet for you?” in which they divided up 75 overweight people by type and modelled individual diets for each based on that type. They were largely successful after, I think, ten weeks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02ddsd9 Check out the test.
  4. If you think your always correct, you'll never learn anything. Cross posted, I replied to this: “That is what I too thought ! Maybe they are just Humans and make use of their Powers and position ! If I am a Moderator perhaps I will be the most respected !”
  5. The moderators here are no fools; they understand so much more than you realise, through rigor and knowledge, there is no short cut to understanding.
  6. This reaction is a little like a ‘tilt’ play in poker; you feel angry because your bluff was called.
  7. The analogy that comes to my mind is, you’ve read the synopses of ‘Les Miserables’ and try to quote ‘Jean Valjean’.
  8. The Sermon on the Mount is a lesson we should all look to, in terms of a base level of being; in that we should look to an understanding of being without, the multitude of influence/addiction that pervades modern life.
  9. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, it’s impossible to differentiate the economic drive of farmers to the greater need of the populous. The farmer needs to make money and will tailor the produce towards greater efficiency, in terms of yield, in both the most productive and the most profitable. As for your restaurant idea, maybe is a few years too early.
  10. OK, nothing to add, but its sooo tempting to reply, it seems unfair to rule it out.
  11. Can you write an intelligible sentence (bolded)? I admit you didn’t directly say that but you implied it. If someone asks for clarification maybe you should provide some; the onus of understanding is the responsibility of the communicator.
  12. You don’t seem to understand ‘Strange’s’ point, not to mention, “Ignorance is bliss” is not from Yorkshire or care of Richard Feynman.
  13. Exercise has little impact on a high sugar diet, due to the way our bodies process the sugars. This wasn’t a problem for our ancestors because they lacked, processed sugar in the quantities we now have and an industry intent on manipulating us for profit.
  14. It’s not so much how much we eat but what we eat.
  15. It’s only safer because of the zealous nature of the believers; I’ve called it many things over the years most of which weren’t pleasant and I’ve yet to be stoned/punished by “the creator”. If you want a theological discussion that doesn’t contain flippancy, a science forum isn’t the best place to look, besides which Sir Isaac Newton also believed in alchemy.
  16. So stay out of the light and live your life as a hermit; stay your judgement on those that seek to enjoy the warmth a spring sun brings to those that suffer the harshness of winter.
  17. Why do you think it’s OK to insult anyone that neither shares your aversion to sunlight or your skin type?
  18. The similarities between then (England) and now (America), is poverty, the difference is skin tone; it’s so much easier to hang ones prejudice on such an obvious difference. Indeed, but the obvious exception is America; the founding fathers seem to have understood the failings of the old world.
  19. I don’t think this is a uniquely American issue. The one thing a democratic political system seems unable to do, except in baby steps, is too learn from history however compelling the lesson.
  20. Dates please, and maybe a citation; not to mention “Always”? I know Chinas population is large but you can’t base your entire premise on just one culture.
  21. How well travelled are you? But more to the point, the problem you have in answering this conjecture is how much influence does western culture have? In England the cultural trend seems to be a shade or two darker; given the amount spent on tanning. Edit/ I know Micheal Jackson spent alot, but I doubt it ran into the billions of $.
  22. It is for those who try to defend it with pseudo-science otherwise it seems more like a religion.
  23. Just look for mustard seed that’s spelt with a c.
