Prayer Cult Nation: Faith Healing Scams & Healthcare Reform

clipper's remarks: Lots more at the source. Good sense of humour.

Recently on a popular Black Entertainment Network talk show R&B singer Monica pitched her new reality show and extolled the virtues of prayer

she credited God with guiding her through life and imbuing her with purpose. His word was her marching order, she proclaimed, as the rapt studio audience nodded in approval, giving credence to surveys that indicate African Americans are more religious, more likely to subscribe to Creationism and more apt to break out the Bible for guidance and counsel than any other group in the U.S

Yet not since the Great Awakening of the 18th Century has “God” spoken through so many American public figures so unequivocally. The medievalist Sarah Palin has risen to cult status touting her personal speed dial to the Lord. The Old Testament God has become the kamikaze co-pilot of the Republican Party. And President Barack Obama frequently invokes both God as an adjudicating figure and prayer as an antidote to tragedy.

Is Intelligence Sexy?

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:22:39 GMT

clipped by: abailart
clipper's remarks: <<<Many traits in many species have evolved through sexual selection specifically to function as fitness indicators that reveal good genes and good health. Sexually selected fitness indicators typically show (1) higher coefficients of phenotypic and genetic variation than survival traits, (2) at least moderate genetic heritabilities and (3) positive correlations with many aspects of an animal's general condition, including body size, body symmetry, parasite resistance, longevity and freedom from deleterious mutations. These diagnostic criteria also appear to describe human intelligence (the g factor).>>> (from abstract).

So then, is there some sort of mirror neuron circuitry in the brain that excites a cortical g spot?

Clip Source: www3.interscience.wiley.com

during human evolution, mate choice by both sexes focused increasingly on intelligence as a major heritable component of biological fitness. Many human-specific behaviours (such as conversation, music production, artistic ability and humour) may have evolved principally to advertise intelligence during courtship. Though these mental adaptations may be modular at the level of psychological functioning, their efficiencies may be tightly intercorrelated because they still tap into common genetic and neurophysiological variables associated with fitness itself. Although the g factor (like the superordinate factor of fitness itself) probably exists in all animal species, humans evolved an unusually high degree of interest in assessing each other's intelligence during courtship and other social interactions

AGASSI SOLD HAIR TO BUY DRUGS

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:09:43 GMT

Clip Source: www.thedailymash.co.uk

TENNIS star Andre Agassi sold his entire head of hair to buy crystal meth, it emerged last night.

The former Wimbledon champion said he became addicted after he accidentally swallowed $960,000 of the drug after mistaking it for a new kind of Robinson's barley water.

He then spent the next decade gradually removing his hair in exchange for a series of crazy highs.

Agassi said: "Most drug dealers are mad for celebrity hair. Pablo Escobar had a whole wig made out of Gloria Estefan clippings.

"Touring the world playing in tournaments, I wouldn't have enough local currency to get totally moonfucked on ice, so I'd have to barter with clumps."

He added: "I knew I'd reached rock bottom when I found myself in a Singapore back street tearing out huge handfuls of pubes for a quick hit. I cried myself to sleep that night."

"But the truth is he was having a 30th birthday party and wanted a life-size statue of Rod Laver made entirely out of toot."

The first conversation

Even if you're feeling shy, there's no need to be tongue-tied during that first chat. Follow our dos and don'ts and you may even get that date.

DO

Introduce yourself first, before asking their name.

Make brief eye contact from time to time, and smile.

Ask them about themselves.

Lean towards them a little more if things seem to be going well.

Try mirroring their body language.

Leave them wanting to know a bit more about you.

Act relaxed and confident, but not arrogant.

Have a sense of humour.

If it goes well, say you'd like to meet them again and ask if they'd like to swap numbers.

DON'T

Call someone 'babe' or 'darlin', and forget to ask their name.

Put up with any crap if someone is being creepy.

Hound someone who is obviously not interested.

Demand someone's entire life story.

Talk about yourself incessantly, not letting them get a word in.

Try too hard to make yourself sound important.

Go on at length about miserable things from your past.

Boast about how good you are in bed.

The death of language?

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:39:29 GMT

clipped by: Aribeth
clipper's remarks: "What we lose is essentially an enormous cultural heritage, the way of expressing the relationship with nature, with the world, between themselves in the framework of their families, their kin people," says Mr Hagege.

"Its also the way they express their humour, their love, their life. It is a testimony of human communities which is extremely precious, because it expresses what other communities than ours in the modern industrialized world are able to express."

For linguists like Claude Hagege, languages are not simply a collection of words. They are a living, breathing organisms holding the connections and associations that define a culture. When a language becomes extinct, the culture in which it lived is lost too.
____

According to Ethnologue, a US organisation that compiles a global database of languages, 473 languages are currently classified as endangered.

"Most people are not at all interested in the death of languages," Claude Hagege says.

The death of language?

17 October 2009

An estimated 7,000 languages are being spoken around the world. But that number is expected to shrink rapidly in the coming decades. What is lost when a language dies?

In 1992 a prominent US linguist stunned the academic world by predicting that by the year 2100, 90% of the world's languages would have ceased to exist.

Far from inspiring the world to act, the issue is still on the margins, according to prominent French linguist Claude Hagege.

WAR OF WORDS

6% of the worlds languages are spoken by 94% of the world's population

The remaining 94% of languages are spoken by only 6% of the population

The largest single language by population is Mandarin (845 million speakers) followed by Spanish (329 million speakers) and English (328 million speakers).

133 languages are spoken by fewer than 10 people
