Hi... I think women with gray eyes are more beautiful than themselves with non-grayeyes... That is, I find gray eyes beautiful so I want to know... How many percentage of the world have gray eyes? Anyone knows statisitics on this? And how many genes for gray eyes are recesive and how many are dominant or are all recessive or are all dominant? and thus can anyone give me a good conclussion of how much odds I have of having children with gray eyes if 1.you take into account that my paternal grandmother had gray eyes 2.I have a child with a woman with gray eyes and 3.I do not have gray eyes myself?

you find that difference valid? I would take that physics is all about studying the behavour of forces and energies and chemistry is about the study of composition, your difference seems to be a split between subatomical and supra-atomical... which I do not see as a difference between physics and chemistry...

Well said Tanman... But the bible does not deserves to be called philosophy, it is dogma and dogma means "doxa" that is "opinion"; philosophy is more objective than that. And Athena... I have read some bits of Cicero, Seneca and other roman philosophers, they pale against the greek philosophers that preceded them but they are certainly not christian philosophers and the worst philosophers of all times are the theologists (read; christian apologists) of the Middle Ages... I see a lot of emotion on your claim that we need peers but not enough justification... Everyone can be corrupted, peers and professional judges, but professional judges can be ranked on ability by the public and on how much trust they deserve, you never know who is going to get selected as jury... The person can be a fundie or a fool (and a fundie is often a fool)...

It is your work, do it as you wish... But science fiction does not need aliens to be science fiction, Gattaca, Planet of the apes and Eureka are all examples of alien-less science fiction... So is Robocop (planet of the apes has a non-human sentient species but it is still science fiction... so is the case with Sanctuary where mythical creatures are presented as evolutionary doubles, Sliders also applies this non-alien sci fi thing... Karel Čapek the man that coined the word "robot" and who wrote many works of sci-fi wrote the sci-fi book "War with the Newts" which involves a subspecies of sentient newts being enslaved by humanity and reveling, these are not alien but sentient sea water creatures... I never finished the book because I did not had time but it was a good read). Whatever be the case consider that every country has high and low class... And it would be easier to represent someone from high class that someone from low class... Remember Tolstoy saying ""Happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Well... Now consider these words I give based on Tolstoy's model; "People from the high class are mostly alike. Every person from the poor class is tortured in his or her own way"; The idiosincracy of a country is stronger in its low class than in its high class... This does not mean that being high class means being happy and being low class is being unhappy, sometimes it is the opposite, but it relates to similiarity... if you have any people from private schools consider this; "People from that are far from popular, like freaks, geeks, shy people and nerds, are mostly alike. Every person from the popular clique is popular on the way that reflects the predominating spirit of his or her school". The later I relate to two school experiences; in my British school the popular cliques were preppie boys, that is somewhat like slightly cultured jocks, they were dumb but they knew what was necessary to pass as high class and be good students, they often cheated on examns but they managed to learn a thing or two without being ashamed of that; the predominating spirit of the school was "having class" which is compatible with having knowledge. then I went to a Jesuit school, there the popular cliques were all bullies and jocks, they were jerk jocks, the predominating spirit was "passing as a regular Joe" which is compatible with misology, the hatred of knowledge, an exception were two popular guys that were prepies and were like a male version of a girl posse; cring about appearance and such shallow subjects. At university the folk from those popular cliques become more homogeneized and former nerds gained popularity as their knowledge came to be respected and they learnt to fit better with the in-crowd as both schools were high class and cliques were no longer as important as class identity, hipocrisy increased and people became more mature and since I am speaking of high class people became more right winged and interested in politics, but only in as much as it allowed them to keep their shallow lifestyle. sidenote; I was a freak, a freak is like a nerd but while a nerd allows bullies to bully them at every chance a freak is willing to fight back if it is possible to do so without having problems with any pertinent authority... From my experience Peru has less nerds than freaks in relation to the dynamics shown in US television but nerds do exist. I think the way this fiction has impacted on culture on Lima's high class (from which I have got experience despite not being a typical high class person myself) is that it has set goals for children to follow (children are prone to follow the roles they see in fiction) and that is why I guess that the US has also been affected by this fiction, my point here is that fiction tries to reflect reality but in telling people what is reality they influence how people make reality be in the near future so after a time it seems that fiction did not fail in representing reality... This is a feedback I am interested in studying and that is why I am so interested in being accurate in representing reality and why I was so much willing to help you... I think stereotypes are detrimental to society unless they are inherently positive and set realistic ideals to people (realistic ideals because some stereotypes set impossible ideals or ideals that follow illogical religious ethics, for example the asexual girls or the sexist concept of the prince charming that is a preppy and there is nothing good about preppies). http://tvtropes.org/...n/PopularIsDumb http://tvtropes.org/.../Main/GirlPosse http://tvtropes.org/...n/GangOfBullies http://tvtropes.org/...ixStudentClique http://tvtropes.org/...p/Main/JerkJock http://tvtropes.org/.../Main/GirlPosse It can be realistic, it depends how human she looks, how normal your character is and how common the event happening is (and thus how society looks at it)... We look down at men having sex with orangutans but in some countries they are used as sex slaves because they do not have that perception of it... We look down at people banging goats but it is obviously that if they do so is because they see it as normal... We look down at banging corpses but in some muslim countries it has been determined that sharia law allows men to bang their dead wife's corpse... I look homosexual sex between men as disgusting and painful but not as wrong while I look at lesbian sex as arousing and beautiful... On the other hand fundies see all homosexual sex as wrong and even disgusting, on the other hand ancient greeks saw homosexual sex between men as an elevated pleasure, heterosexual sex as a necessary evil and lesbian sex as a disgusting practice. Perspectives vary, from an ethical perspective only rape and cheating and deceit is wrong but the problem must be observed from a psychological and a pragmatic perspective; Necrophilia and zoophilia are not good for health, they are a public safety issue in this way they are immoral... Necrophilia, zoophilia and other paraphilia are signs of mental ilness because they involve objectifying the whole of the sex partner (an animal is not a subject as a sex partner, a corpse is never a subject, and so on)... So the question on whether sex with aliens is realistic depends on how much the alien can be a subject... It also involves how much human the alien is and how high is the interfertility between the human and the other species (because the sex drive exists towards reproduction, that is why it can be argued that homosexuality, as it does not seeks reproduction, is a sort of paraphilia, however unlike other paraphilias it does not relates towards a person that is objectified, except in the case of priests raping boys and other cases of pederastry and pedophilia where there is an homosexual practice that objectifies the sexual partner through means of highlighting a power difference between the two parts as pedophiles and priests that rape boys often enjoy that their victim is being humilliated and abused). This I am telling you is an expansion of what I told you earlier... However I do not favour aliens in fiction because they often complicate things too much, unless their world has the same volume and mass as ours and their star is identical to our sun they would have a different concept of passage of time and a different concept of strength and weight and may even have a different atmosphere... It can be entertaining to create a fictional planet to justify your differences between your alien species and humans but other than convergent evolution you would have a hard time explaining similiarities... And may go the star trek route to justify interfertility... But hybrids are always cool... You can justify interfertility as a break through in genetics (making all hybrids a matter of genetic tampering, that is, making them artificial, whether they are sterile, fertile, interfertile or whatever, it depends on your own whims)... You can have the best of all worlds by having your alien as a superman-ripp off, raised by natives, as a Tarzan rip off, raised by apes, or wolves, or raised by amerindians... A Wild child (tv tropes has an article on them). The most complex thing about alien creatures is their culture... Unless you belief that convergent evolution can justify their culture being akin to ours you have to think that their culture must reflect their differences to us (better hearing, higher strength, higher speed, lower endurance, etc. aliens do not need to be superior to humans, or they can be superior to us in some things but inferior to us in other things)... edit: if you return to the idea of having the alien and a human make a pair you better remember that green skin, blue skin, purple skin and any dark skin other than real black skin is not aesthetically appealing and the relationship can be looked down because people tend to look down at people showing different tastes...

ok, fair call, I will give you that... for now...

Why am I the one that is being warned when is the other poster the one that said that philosophy is word-churning? Why am I considering to be the one with an insulting tone when it is the other poster the one that insulted a whole academic field and everyone that practices it?

Ok... Dont we recognize that biophysics is neither physics nor biology and biochemistry is neither chemistry nor biology and agree that that this neither chemistry nor physics but something in between?

Sorry, this is not a philosophical question... It is an emotional question... Personally I would be sad if I knew I had to life through eternity, nonetheless if I knew I would not be alone I would try to not think about the future and I would even doubt I were immortal and may get suicidical sooner or later... But this has all to do with emotions and nothing with reason or logic so it is not philosophical...

I agree... I was thinking this many posts ago but I dont know much about the way the forums are organized to suggest where it should go so I did not ventured to say it should move there... Actually I entered quite angry at the idea that something as important as ethics was being discussed over something that is not really a problem in real life... Until it became a discussion of literature and let me tell you... I am in this forums both because I love philosophy (and thus sciences) and because I love literature (sci fi and such) and I do my best to be filled with facts when I write and I rely on wikipedia and forums and contacts and fb and every mean I can (I dont know good libraries in my country, if I knew I would use them) and I try to take lengths to justify anything I think I need in the story but betrays my findings or guesses exploiting the fact that I write science fantasy rather than science fiction, science fantasy is like soft sci fi but magic has altered facts... I wish I could write hard sci fi but it demands resources I do not have... Taino indians are very beautiful... Hope your library has good data on them... What's your age and what resources are you willing and able to use on getting your facts straight? I think I heard Mexico City has for about a decade, take or add 5... started to clean its air through great machines they have in the city check that... So far you do not seem to have fallen into stereotypes although a fast mexican makes me think fo Speedy Gonzales and the architecture used in speedy Gonzales toons and the cacti and the man that is drunk with a clay jar with three exes is very stereotypical so you should avoid it (I do not know if accurate but stereotypical, google earth probably has people that have hanged pictures in panoramio through Mexico and I dont know if they have street view of Mexico, you might also investigate about modern architecture in Mexico and guess that in the future there will be fewer antique architecture than in the present)... I am Peruvian and I have mexican friends on msn but I don't really know Mexico on its own... You would like to mention the myth of "la malinche" a mexican friend/lover(kinda of)-etc. which I had kept mentioning her importance to Mexican myth and she makes me think of "la llorona" literally "the weeping woman" which I think is derived from the Irish banshee and has extended to as far south as Peru, I do not know if it has extended to Chile and other Peruvian countries but I heard of the urban myth of "la llorona" from independent sources... Also... Mexico has its own dialect of Spanish but Mexican television has made it popular through Hispanic America as much as argentina has made it popular, not used but understood, at least some words, in the future the dialect can have suffered a lot of change, maybe with more use of Spanglish because English and Spanglish are popular in the spanish speaking world... By dilaect think that it is much like Canada and Australia and South Africa have different dialects of English... The dialect is different than the Spanish you hear in the US and the dialect you hear in other countries through hispanoamerica... But in the time that it takes from now to your setting Mexican television may have lost its position... I mean... Chespirito and mexican telenovelas of the past century would be two centuries old... Hopefully bullfighting is no longer legal in that future... The current drive is a struggle to supress bullfighting... But rodeo and other games are possible... You must find out what is the terminology Mexico uses for their equivalent to wildlife rangers, I know different countries use different names... I recommend you to visit a forum dedicated to english-speaking Mexicans and ask them what they consider polite or, if your resources allow, traveling to Mexico yourself or, less expensive thatn visiting Mexico but more useful than asking in a forum, to search Mexicans willing to speak to you about their national identity and inspire your character. Now... I think Karate is too mainstream, I recommend you searching for a less famous martial art, or complementing Karate with a less famous martial art or making it that Karate has lost popularity by that time... Being skilled in something others are not often skilled gives you an edge to defeating them.... Personally my favourite martial art is aikido and shaolin kung fu (shaolin kung fu is actually a bunch of martial arts). Also she could have experience in mixed martial arts (it is a current trend where people that studied different martial arts fight against each other, over time fighters develop their own style which has features of different styles and maximises their own abilities)... You can even give your character an edge by having her adicted to an experimental drug that gives her short boosts of power but may turn her erratic, or affect her concentration or her temperament or her heart rate or make her feel very tired after the boost ends or whatever or the benefit can be higher endurance and pain tolerance... If you want her to be a role model the drug most be experimental and treated like a medical decision by her allies, if you dont care if she is a role model or not the drug can be illegal and she can be a sort of antiheroine a la Dr.House... You can make it that few test subjects can take the drug as often as she does and survive, or even take the drug and survive... But I have already gotten too involved in your story, it is your work... I'm just making sugestions... And the big but thing... That is somewhat feasible... Specially if you want to explain her taino ancestry via dominican ancestry that often has african and taino ancestry mixed (afrodescendant people are known for big buts, as a good thing) or maybe taino have big buts too or Spaniards (I guess she is part Spaniard, it is the most common ancestry in Mexico other than amerindian but as I show you some have arabic and lebanese and like Ludwicka Paleta, polish ancestry, she might even have a blond mexican friend just to pass the point that Mexico is as multiracial as the US, something that western media seems to never acknowledge)

Any system can be corrupted... Computers can be hacked, and we would need them to have artificial intelligence and I bet that artificial intelligence implies personal interests and thus a mean to be bought... But if you keep the trials public and allow a professional jury to be analysed by detectives if they are suspicious you would have a measure to reduce corruption... Then you are recognizing some religious bias on your part... Democracy has no need for religion, indeed the founding fathers of the United States, inspired in the French Revolution (such thinkers as Thomas Paine) were against any religious thought gaining hegemony over all others, some were agnostics, some were atheists and some were deists and deists are sort of "I believe in a deity but not in religion"... The Us has evolved a lot from the time the bible was used to justify slavery (parts of the bible justify it) to these tiems that the bible is used to justify homophobia... Other countries that lacked common law evolved by osmosis but I am pretty sure that the US is in no way the avant garde of freedom in the world... I dont know much about the history of law but as a person interested in ethics and politics and its history I know the Athenian democracy was very different from modern democracies... It was some sort of aristocracy... The demos against the laos was an elite. The system my country uses is civil law... I cannot tell you much about it because I do not know much about law, I had the idea that the cosntitution had to be erased and something totally new be created and I expected to study a lot before determining what I would do to replace it... Therefore I think I will study that if I ever study political science which I hope I do because I am intersted in politics but I am still in the process of learning about law and its nature and system and determining goals for the new system... that is why I propose the civilized world to unify their courts so people like Roman Polanski (rapist) or George Bush Jr. (human rights violator) cannot escape the law the way they are doing and so people like Kim "Dotcom" Schmitz (German-Finnish person, did a bussiness in the UK, went to New Zealand and got forced to jail in the US) get a fair trail rather than a kangaroo court that does a mock trial to defend the interest of US companies outside their own jurisdiction (for a crime that is not terrible enough to deserve being enforced worldwide)... Another example of abuse by the US is how Lori Berenson (a terrorist that helped peruvian terrorists) got a better treatment that she deserved because the US was making pressure to defend their own ctiizen when they do not correspond that to our own citizens punished for lower criems in US soil. Power tilts the balance and fairness is not the current systme... The powerful get away with rape (as it happened with Polanski and with Michael Jackson) and the weak suffer more than they deserve... But the uneven system is perjudicial for everyone... Some places are so unruly and dangerous that the cops cannot enter in them unless they go in groups and during the day... This means that the same way poor and powerless people are treated unfairly in the courtroom and this causes a limitation of their freedom, wealthy people are also forced to suffer a limitation of their freedom in that they cannot go anywhere at their own whim because some places need them to hire extensive protection. I hope your "democracy and liberty which is god and morals without religion" is a misspelling and you meant "democracy and liberty which is good and morals without religion"... But in the later case I wont be sure what you meant... So I will tell you something despite I admit that you are right to consider it a different subject the question of "what a good scientist is?"... There is more morality without god that morality with god... The biblical god, the abrahamic god is a pretty antiethical fictional tyrant... For instance there is a passage where a man is caleld righteous because he follows sacred hospitality to the point of giving his own daughters and wife to be raped in order to protect his guests (because sacred hospitality was an ancient custom of being a good host to strangers because in the future you could be such a stranger). Furthermore the idea that you have to follow rules for a reward you wont get in the life you can be aware of means that you are willing to follow any rule, no matter how illogical, that is why you get muslims being such fundies... We need to behave well, to behave morally because it pays in the life we can know... Cost-benefit analysis is all we have to do to determine our ethical gambles, our ethics and behaviour... Considering that failing in our ethical decisions makes people behave negatively against us and that is a high cost of being unethical and the cost reduces the benefit and that is the low benefit of being unethical. That power is spread among our fellow people. Read on transhumanism, that is what I think we have to conduct science to... (Politically I prefer primitivism however)... I said psychologist not so "psychologist" becomes a burden, an object that anchors the guy and makes him drown but as a pedestal, something that places him above what in the US "peers" seems to constitute; he or she is an specialist that understands better the human mind and therefore it may seem logical to him or to her that the person that intends to explode a nuclear bomb is a real threat even if laymen could underestimate the possibility... I mentioned the psychologist as an evidence of how peers is hard to get across; Different people will be peer to the psychologist to different degrees; psychologists will serve as peers to a psychologist better than truck drivers or astrophysicists; psychologists that follow the same schools of thought that your psychologist are even better peers; psychologists that studied in the same university, specially in the same time period as the psychologist are even better peers but here you get a problem; the best peers are biased, they know the psychologist personally, they are his friends or her friends or her enemies or his enemies and are biased... See, the issue is that you cannot get good peers... On the other hand you could get specialists like you get specialist judges... (As you see I have broken your points to place them in perspective... and analyse them one by one...)

plenty from a quick search by a single person can qualify s "some" when compaired against the vast majority of the world? sorry, I prefer statistics

I would call it applied chemistry or inorganic chemistry more than physics because there is no study in the physical behaviour of the matter but on the composition of the matter...

So paleontology is not science? LMAO you are too funny to tell you antyhing else... Wow, how much ignorance in so few words! And before you call me on insulting you, you have insulted yourself by making those claims and you have insulted a lot of people to which you owe science... Science is the result of philosophy... Democracy is the result of philosophy... Freedom is the result of philosophy... Ethics, politics, ontology, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, gnoseology and epistemology, all are a consequence of philosophy!!!!

Ok, I will rephrase my post by explaining every point... But now dont be overwhelmed, give arguments to counter my arguments: A.The first point is the only one that would need a different thread (placed in "other sciences" because "history" and sociology are human sciences and those qualify as "other sciences" in the scheme this page follows. B.The second and third point are not false assumptions but accusations that you have fallen into fallacies which you may check yourself to confirm that you have fallen into them... You were too overwhelmed to tell me how am I falling into false assumptions... C.The fourth point is the one you address by your question if women and men behave different as parents... Thing is, they behave different because society has determined they have to behave different, but there is no reason other than cultural reasons for mothers and fathers to behave differently, except that men cannot lactate for their children, other than that parenting can be indentical for both and the current gender differences are detrimental... Women are taught to be parasites and men to be obsessed with being in charge, that is not how it should be... Women have to be more proactive and men have to share more responsability. Cultural gender differences will only die when we decide to make them die... Likewise we must abandon the bias that children can only be reared by a father and a mother... They can be reared by their father, their father's wives, their mother and their mother's husbands... Polygamy (true polygamy not the krap that muslims do) is possible and not unhealthy... D.Parts of the fifth point I have addressed in my previous paragraph... But I have to address that important issue in my fifth point is that sexism is a negative bias against men and against women, it is detrimental to both, not only to women as feminists seem to think... The importance of my fifth point is that sexism prevents men from having a say on the abortion of their future child only to then be forced to mantain the child financially when the woman was only a gold-digger that wanted the man's money and does not care about the child. The importance of my fifth point is that sexism prevents men from spending as much time with their children as the mothers and that is detrimental to boys because boys need a father more than they need a mother (and girls need a mother more than they need a father) and this is not because the genders are different at parenting but because the genders are culturally different and maybe, to some lesser degree, psychologically or physiologically different... The importance of my fifth point is that their is a bias to make men breadwinners and mother caregivers to children even when it is possible than the opposite works better (I know it is a comedy but take for example the cast of "two and half men"; Alan is a terrible breadwinner and his ex-wife is worse than Alan as a caregiver, Alan Harper is full of flaws and he is a sick man but his ex-wife is not any better and he should have got the custody of their child, with weekends being for the child to spend with his mother; the show is meant for fun and it is a comedy but I can see that happening in reality)... Forget my example taken from fiction... Consider real-life examples... Many serial killers were taken care of by their mothers, and their mothers were sluts that did nothing to prevent their child from watching them work or fundies that abused their child based on religion. Fundies are more often female than male and fundies are more prone to accept schizophrenia as communication with god than as schizophrenia, non-fundies would get themselves on a mad assylum as schizophrenia starts, fundies on the other hand would obey the voices they hear and kill their own child because the child is the devil... women get post-partum depression that makes them potential murderers, men do not go through it... http://www.f4e.com.au/blog/2010/10/29/woman-kills-child-for-interrupting-farmville-game/ This is not the first time a woman has done such a frivolous accidental murder of her own child... The article does not specifies if the mother and the father were divorced but it certainly gives an idea on how mothers can be too selfish to be good mothers... But divorce keeps the bias that the women must keep the children. My father sleeps closer to the windows (that lead to the sky, our house has two stories, the main story and a higher story and his room has the bed with one side closer to these windows that lead outwards) and my mother sleeps closer to the door... This is anecdotical evidence but your argument is flawed to in the way it is presented, it needs statistics...

I have the impression that you are a traditionalist... I'm a liberal (if that term can apply to me, I'm not from the US or intersted in politics centred on a single country, but US liberals support gay marriage and abortion which I support), a social democrat, a direct democrat and a transhumanist... I believe it would be great if we advanced studies in cloning with no regard to what the church says... When I make the distinction between a good scientist knowing science and philosophy and a good engineer knowing science and more science is because I think that a good scientist must understand that scientific skeptism is a pragmatic approach to philosophical skepticism and a good scientist must understand ontology, philosophy of language, gnoseology, epistemology and philosophy of science... I dont think a good scientist needs, in order to be so, to know politics and ethics (it would help them but they can be good scientists without knowing either); knowing politics means they can better promote themselves, knowing ethics means they can participate in discussions of medical ethics, bioethics and other realms of study where science and ethics mix, but a good scientist needs to know ontology, philosophy of language, gnoseology, epistemology and philosophy of science to better understand their own work... Just like a good ethicist needs to know human sciences and ethology... I believe that even with crippling overspecialization modern people need to know beyond their own field of study, be some sort of polymaths, to be good and unique... But I dont think science needs to be controlled much... On the other hand I could argue that an engineer could benefit from ethics more than a scientist because he/she could realize that nanobots are a double edged weapon that can do greater harm than good if they fall on the wrong hands... But you can be a great engineer without understanding ontology, philosophy of language, gnoseology, epistemology and philosophy of science... And well, I believe democracy can work without trial by jury... You know how many countries practice trial by jury? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_by_jury I tried confirming if Switzerland used it or not but I could not understand the conclusion... I think trial by jury is worse because I cannot trust laymen to be good peers and they are not always peers... A psychologist that kills a patient because the psychologist determined his patient had the power to decimate the city with a nuclear bomb and the psychologist could not betray his professional secrecy by revealing his patient's plan can be considered the peer of low class citizens that barely managed to finish high school? Can a dutch foreigner be considered the peer of US citizens? Who determines peerage? I prefer professional judges... Better said. I prefer a non-layman jury (a sort of bunch of under-judges) that follows principles of common law (their decision must change as newer trials are done) when the true and higher judge follows the principles of Civil law (his or her decision follows a stable constitution that can only be modified by the congress, point by point or by creating a new constitution from zero)...

I guess you want to avoid thinking too much of politics... But Mexico has the problem that it is currently burdened by narcoterrorism on its less populated areas and on its poorest populated areas... But I guess that could have been solved by the time your story takes place in. http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Rainforest Use these maps complemented with google earth to know where you get tropical rainforests (Mexico) and temperate rainforests (Canada)... Google earth even represents the land as forested when it is so... http://en.wikipedia....File:Iflmap.png She could be like Jo Lupo from Eureka ( http://tvtropes.org/.../WeakButSkilled although Jo is not really weak, but her strength must not be as well as her fighting skills becuase she is not deformed by her muscles; she is an expert in vehicles, weapon handling and martial arts, make a choice of martial arts for your character to master) or like Private Jenette Vasquez, one of the marines' "smart gun" operators (but please, do not follow the rule that Vasquez always dies http://tvtropes.org/...squezAlwaysDies just look how hot she is http://content6.flix...6772232_ori.jpg and I could believe her to be Mexican if her role were such and she could be a mechanic too)... She can even be part psychic and have telekinesis http://tvtropes.org/...n/WillfullyWeak which some sci-fi accepts... But I think psychic powers in sci-fi is too much like soft sci-fi... But making her athletic and skilled would justify her having greater power than she seems to have, she wont carry great loads but she would have style and acrobatic skills and do parkour and tumble about and give flying kicks and she would have some muscle but not much (like this: http://3.bp.blogspot...5++su+perro.jpg this woman is an athletic girl able to circumnavgiate the whole world at only 16 and she has no notorious muscles, on the other hand the world record for strongets girl can lift 300 kg and looks like this: http://www.varyaakul...mbs/dig7003.jpg in other pictures her face is not that ugly, but in that picture she is showing all her muscles and they are not that obvious) I feared your noble savage concept could end making the white characters mighty whiteys but you've taken a turn against that http://tvtropes.org/...in/MightyWhitey I have never heard of tribal reinassance but if you are inventing the concept it could be a good idea... And very original... Here is a concept that could explain the social phenomenon: -The Native American Renaissance was a term originally coined by critic Kenneth Lincoln in his 1983 book of the same title. Lincoln's goal was to explore the explosion in production of literary works by Native Americans in the decade and a half after N. Scott Momaday had won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for House Made of Dawn. Before that time, few Native Americans had published fiction. Writers such as William Apess, Pauline Johnson, John Rollin Ridge and Simon Pokagon in the nineteenth century, and Mourning Dove, John Milton Oskison, John Joseph Mathews, Zitkala-Sa, Charles Eastman and D'Arcy McNickle in the years before WWII were known, but they were relatively few.- Just like a boom of literature around the subject of goths created the modern goth cultures a boom of literature around tribes can cause an interest in simple living ( http://en.wikipedia....i/Simple_living ) and in reviving old tribal traditions, accuracy is innecesary and blending features of different tribes is possible (that is what wicca does and why I often blend mythologies, specially celtic and norse mythologies) and so are anachronisms (because its the future and common people never have good knowledge of how things really were, and even those that know have little knowledge beyond their own specialty)... http://tvtropes.org/...Main/Mayincatec is common (you can even have a genius character point a few of the mistake you want to point out before the character gets bored and accepts letting your character show flawed knowledge of the tribes the character is inspired in). Literature in Peru has often gone around catholic themes (magic realism or "realismo magico") or around the Andes (Indigenism), thinking that a similiar boom of literature from jungle folk from all the jungles from the Amazon to the north is also possible... Just avoid falling into the Spexico bias... http://tvtropes.org/...hp/Main/Spexico http://en.wikipedia....phics_of_Mexico You may want to avoid stereotypes by recognizing that Mexico has European population (even blondes and red heads, but more blondes than red heads), http://en.wikipedia....i/Afro-Mexicans or Arab Mexicans (If you choose Afro-Mexicans to match your picture you dont need to give her the nose of such people of African heritage as Wanda Sykes but you can make her as beautiful as such afro-descendant women as Elizabeth Jongkind* or as these that are partially afro-descendant and partially native-american http://upload.wikime...al_002_4412.JPG) The reason there is this higher amount of beauty in Afrolatin-americans when compared against people with African heritage from the USA is because hybrid vigour is more common in the former Spanish empire due to the absence of laws preventing interracial breeding, the US was more racist than the former Spanish colonies and Canada had not much African population to begin with... I know the women I am giving you as examples are afrotaino women from Dominican Republic but there is common travel between the different countries that used to belong to Spain. Other women that could realistically pass as afroMexicans: http://upload.wikime..._headshot_2.png http://2.bp.blogspot...+MUNDO+2009.JPG http://www.pueblovie...udia%20Cruz.jpg http://en.wikipedia....7_Ada_Aimee.jpg http://serial.alterv...es7/Denny01.jpg http://www.latinartm...ls/DSCN0286.JPG http://en.wikipedia....ell_Santana.jpg http://upload.wikime..._Ed_Kavishe.jpg Eight women with african ancestry and none of them has the ugly nose so common in women with African ancestry in the United States media... None has the stereotypically ugly nose of Wadna Sykes, all are african beauties... but I bet they also have amerindian and European ancestry because hybrid vigour is best. I took examples from Dominican Republic because thjey are the best amerindian mulattoes ever, they and Elizabeth Jongkind that is Surinamese... *named Bettina in the porn movie I watched her for the first time; Private Black Label 5: Secrets of Kamasutra As for other example of the demographics in Mexico (these are all taken from the list of mexican actresses in wikipedia, sometimes the wikipedia article had not photos and I found them on google, the list is much longer but I got bored and stopped checking guessing that you too would get bored of checking such a long list): Note; They are beautiful mexicans, but they sink as actresses and as actors... The golden age of Mexican acting is in the past... The last 30 years or so Mexico has produced cheesy melodramas with terrible acting, with the exception of Chespirito that is a follower of Cantinflas and Pedro Infante... http://chilangazo.wo...-otras-fotitos/ http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Ana_Alicia http://imageshack.us...436788.jpg/sr=1 http://romancefm.com...ara_grosby1.jpg http://album.enfemen...a-peregrin.html http://elreporterode...agina=78= the one in the black bikini with red bourders and white dots http://jimcueva.com/tag/marcela-bovio/ http://upload.wikime...ns/a/a4/A.B.jpg http://www.esquirela...ne-bracamontes/ http://www.esmas.com...ias/466439.html http://www2.esmas.co...ulce-despedida/ http://www.popchisme...n-juan-collado/ http://en.wikipedia....s_de_animas.png http://en.wikipedia....inel_Conde1.jpg http://www.lasnotici....com/n0067.html http://www2.esmas.co...o-bruce-willis/ http://entretenimien...l-castillo.html http://guasanericons...iana-dominguez/ http://teveche.blogs...aje-selena.html Edit: You seem to draw feet and legs like human were macropods...

I have been accused once, but only once so far, of insulting people, I wondered if the mod actually read my post or just went by the words of a poster that had made the claim without providing evidence of it, but I could not defend myself because the mod did not want me to answer back his warning... I wished the mod read how the OP in that post had insulted without provocation even more people by claiming that philosophy is crap or rubbish and that all I did was point that underestimating philosophy in that way proves you do not know much about philosophy and that you are not a good scientist (you could be a good engineer, but not a good scientist) But I rather have flawed mods that the rule of ad populum... I know how trial by jury can be very flawed, I suffered the consequences of it in tv tropes when I got banned because a grammar nazi protested my grammar and a bunch of nationalists disliked my attempts to make the pages less nationalist propaganda for the US... (I laughed last because the ban failed to keep me away)... Imdb does not has trial by public but I posted on "the big bang theory" and rather than addressing my post people started speaking against my post because it was too long, I said they lacked reading comprehension and they took offense to that, they were the ones that had sent the first insult (by claiming my words did not say anything when indeed they said as much as many words there where) but if they were allowed as jury I would have been banned, so I rather not be under the effect of jury because I do not trust the majority of people to be objective. Trusting them would be falling into the ad populum fallacy... That is why scientists do not succeed because they have good social skills but because they have good evidence. The modern world would not be possible if we submitted everything to trial by jury because the majority of people are ignorant fundies and only a minority have studied any science or pertinent field and the more complex each field becomes the less polymaths out there know about it... Think how would a society operate where people that know nothing about ecology make the rules involving how we treat our resources. We need to delay power to specialists and hope they deserve their role as specialists. I'm all for direct democracy, like in Switzerland, but not for trial by jury and I wont defend Von Der Sloot but the Dutch murderer has also avoided trial by jury because he realizes that common people are biased and wont handle well their biases.

1.The question itself is more a sociology question or a history question than an ethics question... Yet then you make an argument against pro-homosexuality which is indeed a subject ethics must address: 2.the words "because that was how we organize our civilization." fall into non sequitur or ignoratio elenchi, also known as irrelevant conclusion or, irrelevant thesis because from the fact that we have organized our civilization in that way does not follow that we have to organize our civilization in that way... It also implies an argumentum ad antiquitatem that is a fallacy that because something is traditional it should be applied... With that flawed logic we would be still under monarchy. 3."Without such family order, how do we organize our civilization?" and that is an ad ignorantiam argument, you are impliying that because you do not know an alternate method of organization the only method of organization is heteronormative... It is also the fallacy of false choice or the fallacy of the excluded middle; It claims that either we are hetenormative or we have chaos, but that is wrong... Mind you I am heterosexual but I found many flaws in heteronormativity with its assigned gender roles that sometimes seems to hold a position of "difference feminism" and at other times it holds a position of "difference machism" and overall complies to christian complementarianism http://en.wikipedia....plementarianism For instance it denies that fathers can be better parents than mothers in some ocassions... That men can love their children and be close to them (under the cultural bias that there is a deep maternal instinct and no male counterpart)... It denies that women can work as well as men and thus it expects women to work only as a way to meet men but to allow their husbands to be the breadwinners. It denies that men and women might not be monogamous but polyamorist or polyfidelous. It leads to such terrible sexism as the believe that a woman alone has the right to abort but the man still has to pay for the maintenance of the child after the child is born if the woman decided not to abort (instead of giving the decision to the couple, as it should be, because it is both their responsability and both are equally capable of working for the maintenance of the child). It leads to these ugly campaigns; http://en.wikipedia....ysAreStupid.jpg or http://en.wikipedia....Boys_Made_Of%3F which are sexist (feminist) versions of the Lilith, Eve and Adam mythos (that is the machist version, where Adam is made of fine clay, Lilith is made of filth and rotten matter and Eve is made of Adam's rib and both women are dertimental to Adam and his heirs)... Edit: And the greeks achieved great success despite being mostly homosexuals.

You are thinking the problem must be solved mathematically but you are ommiting the fact that their is a higher chance that the game show host will not reduce the chances unless you got the car on your firts choice... This is the black swan fallacy, thinking that it is a matter of total chance...

It involves chemical reactions, it involves altering the chemistry of one element to obtain another one it does not involves the forces of energy and matter as such but the composition of matter

I asked the same question to my chemistry teacher in high school and he claimed it was too expensive to be worth but that it had been done (and I thnik this is a chemistry question, not a physics question) Edit: http://en.wikipedia....r_transmutation transmutation intended to make gold from lead, from iron the goal was silver... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesis_of_precious_metals

the concepts you should want are "cosmopolitanism" or "non-hierarchical globalization", globalization is currently hierarchical with the US dominating the picture...

Oh ok, yeah that is not much distant future... your mutant girl could be from a tribe that has not been contacted by civilization the three world division is very mistaken... Peru, Cambodia, Indonesia and The Gambia are considered third world but Peru has better application of human rights than the other three countries I mentioned... Originally third world meant "not aligned with capitalists or socialists in the cold war".... Now the term "developing nation" is prefered but the lie is still sold that every developing nation betrays human rights and just is not truth... not more than the USA where a 18 month girl was taken out of a plane because she was confused with a terrorist because she had arabic ancestry... or where torture is accepted in interrogation... So dont think that the third world needs "bigger milestones for human rights"... Investigate deeper that matter before passing judgement... The US has sold a lot of propaganda to claim that developing nations are slumholes... On the other hand, you have Polanski coming free from rape and other stories of human rights violations on the first world, specially in the US, that have not been punished... And the story of the US getting a man from Germany who was in New Zealand to jail because he broke property rights on the UK, that is a total violation of jurisdiction... But you will have a hard time explaining how Brazil proceeds from the point it is in these days to a place where cutting trees receives such punishment... In Peru it would be more credible because Fujimori may return to power and he was a cleptocrat that feigned to be a president to be a dictator... On the other hand Colombia is also a good candidate because the FARC have not followed their promise to stop their war and, on the other hand, the Colombian government is a puppet government under US control... Venezuela and Ecuador are also possible candidates as Ecuador is a puppet to Venezuela and Venezuela is going through what Peru went through in the 90s... Oh ok... I see...

that's not the penis but society and testosterone they are not much problem in the ear, in the arseline they are worse...

He can consider the power these other beings have to help him or stop him from behaving the way he chooses to, their power when they join forces and how they have joined forces, empathy is also an important matter but without it the power analysis complements the rational cost-benefit analysis to determine his morality.
