Breakdown in family structure? Loss of prayer in school? Increasing childhood obesity? Prevalence of non-violent videogames? Whatever the reason, I think we need to spend more time telling the next generation the importance of striking hippies in the face with a fist.

A married couple receives a bank statement with a huge overdraft. They also receive a final demand for the gas bill. So they agree to save money. That evening, they are watching TV when the man gets up and tells his wife that he’s off down to the bar. Outraged, the wife informs him that he has no right to go to the bar and leave her at home when they need to economise. The husband nods and tells his wife to put her coat on. Surprised and amazed, the wife asks, “Are you really going to take me with you?” “No,” he says. “I’m shutting off the heat.”

For example, they look at faces. According to recent work by Nikolaas Oosterhof and Alexander Todorov of Princeton's psychology department, we form our first opinions of someone's trustworthiness through a quick physiognomic snapshot. By studying people's reactions to a range of artificially-generated faces, Oosterhof and Todorov were able to identify a set of features that seemed to engender trust. Working from those findings, they were able to create a continuum: faces with high inner eyebrows and pronounced cheekbones struck people as trustworthy, faces with low inner eyebrows and shallow cheekbones untrustworthy.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In a paper published in June, they suggested that our unconscious bias is a byproduct of more adaptive instincts: the features that make a face strike us as trustworthy, if exaggerated, make a face look happy - with arching inner eyebrows and upturned mouths - and an exaggerated "untrustworthy"  &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/08/17/confidence_game/?page=full" title="http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/08/17/confidence_game/?page=full"&gt;www.boston.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/dakotayii/512/2888FF37-A33A-4356-8E6F-A831CBB73813.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt; Human beings are social animals, and our first instinct is to trust others.

We size up someone's trustworthiness within milliseconds of meeting them, and while we can revise our first impression, there are powerful psychological tendencies that often prevent us from doing so  - tendencies that apply even more strongly if we've grown close.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;"Trustworthiness is the very first thing that we decide about a person, and once we've decided, we do all kinds of elaborate gymnastics to believe in people."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/science/" rel="tag"&gt;science&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/08/17/confidence_game/?page=full</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:05:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>My cunt examination</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/19B472F8-CBAF-4CB5-AE2A-17E03927FA3D/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/dakotayii/"&gt;dakotayii&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  WTF &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/04/08/excuse-me-i-am-here-for-my-cunt-examination/" title="http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/04/08/excuse-me-i-am-here-for-my-cunt-examination/"&gt;www.weirdasianews.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/dakotayii/512/EAF2DA6B-A7F1-442D-BFCA-F20BB1688A69.jpg" alt="cunt-examination.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/humor/" rel="tag"&gt;humor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/04/08/excuse-me-i-am-here-for-my-cunt-examination/</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:31:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Masturbational INSANITY</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/3D396C70-A42C-4B72-9FD6-0BFE14AAC253/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/dakotayii/"&gt;dakotayii&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  The mind too is attacked. The thrall to self-pollution “can no longer look people squarely and frankly in the face, but seeks to avoid meeting people, pulls down his cap to hide his eyes and goes about with a shy and guilty bearing.

Scholars and doctors of the day openly praised the plant's effectiveness as a contraceptive. Ancient Rome's foremost gynecologist– a physician named Soranus– wrote that women should drink the silphium juice with water once a month since "it not only prevents conception but also destroys anything existing."

According to legend, an assortment of settlers were selected to sail south to establish a colony in more hospitable climes.  The men and women apprehensively put to sea, and the gaggle of enterprising Greeks eventually erected the city of Cyrene on Africa's northern tip.  There, the settlers encountered a local herb which would ultimately bring them and their progeny fantastic wealth.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;The plant was known as &lt;I&gt;silphium&lt;/I&gt; or &lt;I&gt;laserwort&lt;/I&gt;,  and its heart-shaped fruit purportedly brought the ancient world a highly sought-after freedom: the opportunity to enjoy sex with very little risk of pregnancy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/dakotayii/512/3058D6F8-FE51-4CB4-8666-DBF98FF05EC1.jpg" alt="A Cyrene coin bearing the image of a silphium seed" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;It is thought by many historians that this ancient icon of unfettered lovemaking is the origin of today's ubiquitous "I love you" heart symbol.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/dakotayii/512/9E95F66A-A01B-43D6-80FD-7D1F5349791F.jpg" alt="A typical fennel plant" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/history/" rel="tag"&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=851</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2008 05:35:44 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Mirrors Don’t Lie.. : -)</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/67DEA15A-788C-4166-BBE5-55BD62A83CB2/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/einbar/"&gt;einbar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  “When people are made to be self-aware, they are likelier to stop and think about what they are doing,” Dr. Bodenhausen said. “A byproduct of that awareness may be a shift away from acting on autopilot toward more desirable ways of behaving.” Physical self-reflection, in other words, encourages philosophical self-reflection, a crash course in the Socratic notion that you cannot know or appreciate others until you know yourself.

Another item to note is that some people [anti-spammers or the StumbleUpon Spam Fighters - of which there are many ] will go so far as to inform Google -via your AdSense ad- that you employed spammalicious practices in driving traffic to your site. They will also contact the people you got your referral ID from and inform them of the same thing. Some people will go so far as to find out who you really are and ...well... I guess it can get complicated from there. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;UL compact="false"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Links of Interest: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI value="0"&gt;StumbleUpon: &lt;A href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/help.html#spam_stumbles"&gt;How to Deal with Spam&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI value="0"&gt;StumbleUpon: &lt;A href="http://spm-free.group.stumbleupon.com/"&gt;Sp@m-Free Group on Stumble&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI value="0"&gt;StumbleUpon: &lt;A href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/tag/anti-spam/"&gt;"Anti-Spam" tagged sites on Stumble&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI value="0"&gt;StumbleUpon: &lt;A href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/faq.html"&gt;Frequently Asked Questions&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI value="0"&gt;Newsvine: &lt;A href="http://www.newsvine.com/spam"&gt;Latest News on Spam&lt;/A&gt; - Arrests, laws, trends etc. &lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/web/" rel="tag"&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/stumbleupon/" rel="tag"&gt;stumbleupon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/social-networking/" rel="tag"&gt;social-networking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://digits.newsvine.com/_news/2007/12/23/1182485-spamming-stumbleupon-not-profitable</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 21:50:34 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>origins of laughter </title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/CCC5BD79-F9F4-4F5A-82F1-3D3E9116BF1E/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/aydin/"&gt;aydin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/16-07/st_holt" title="http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/16-07/st_holt"&gt;www.wired.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;

V. S. Ramachandran, the brain researcher, has a theory about the origin of laughter — that when you're in the jungle and there's an apparent threat, the first member of the kinship group to notice that it's not a real threat emits this stereotyped vocalization. And it's contagious, so everyone starts laughing. That's also the basis of the relief theory of humor, that there's a release of the energy you had summoned up to solve some puzzle. Kant said that the essence of humor is a strained expectation dissolving into nothing. 
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/16-07/st_holt</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:38:16 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
