Does Fairness Depend on Kindness or Justice? An MIT study with the Tsimane People of Bolivia shows the origins of fairness. Posted Nov 11, 2015Imagine you have to split a plate of cookies. Does the person who baked the cookies get the most or do you split them evenly? Most very young children would split them evenly — that's fair, right? But as kids get older, they start to take into account who did the work. MIT researchers (link is external) working with the Tsimane' People, who live near San Borja, Bolivia, wondered what makes kids switch from "egalitarian" to...

Worth it, Liberals HATE this video because it connects Eugenics to PLANNED PARENTHOOD! Post on your facebook page. I just found this and found it incredibly informative. Sorry if this has been posted before, but it's new to me, may be new to you. VIDEO HERE! Maafa 21 The History of Eugenics In America

Here is the question from my sons 10th grade World History homework. "In both ancient and modern times, one can see countless examples of the strained relationship that exists between Christians and Muslims. WHy do these disagreements continue to occur despite the fact that the beliefs in both religions are so strikingly similar and preach peace before violence."

Please pray for my sister vicki who was admitted into the hospital this evening, she's 53 and may have had a stroke.

There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear, but we may, at long last, be seeing the rise of a popular movement that, unlike the Tea Party, is angry at the right people. When the Occupy Wall Street protests began three weeks ago, most news organizations were derisive if they deigned to mention the events at all. For example, nine days into the protests, National Public Radio had provided no coverage whatsoever. It is, therefore, a testament to the passion of those involved that the protests not only continued but grew, eventually becoming too big to ignore. With...

“The Undefeated”......Defeated. Ok, ok.......NOW she’s a quitter. Back when Govenor Palin resigned as Alaska’s “Grizzly in Chief” after a judicial assult compiled of several lawsuits against her, Palin fans were relieved, because she did not need to be put needlessly through the media and judicial ringer any more, because she was needed later for a larger calling; to defeat Obama in the election of 2012. Resignation was not seen as “quitting”, it was a strategic, maneuver, a rope-a-dope, around the anti-Palin crowd....she wasn’t quitting, she was “outflanking”. Well, Palin did indeed have a clear message last night when she announced...

This video is being sent around by my lefty Facebook friends. I actually appreciated being able to better understand their stupidity shown in under 5 minutes. STUPIDITY HERE

Tahira is typical of many people in Pakistan's urban middle class. She is a successful businesswoman with a loving family. She remembers the day those planes struck at the heart of America, but not like many in the West. "It wasn't a life changing moment; I can't remember exactly where I was or what I was doing. My husband called me and I switched on the television. I remember thinking it was sad, but not much else. What I didn't know was how our lives would change." Tahira spoke to me in her garden in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan,...

Two separate-but-equal promoters of death, themselves, died Friday, June 3rd 2011. One, the infamous Jack Kevorkian, the famed "Doctor of Death" assisted suicide advocate, died peacefully at home at the age of 83, and the other, John Maynard Keynes, famed British economist, who posthumously promoted the death of the United States' economy with his Keynesian Economic Theories, who physically died in the flesh in 1946, officially and finally died at age 128 on Friday with the release of the Labor Department's dreadful unemployment report, (only 54,000 jobs added of 200,000 expected, and unemployment rate actually going UP to 9.1)...

According to the nationwide Lundberg Survey, the national average cost to American drivers was $4 per gallon on May 6. That's 11.98 cents more than on April 22. When Barack Obama was inaugurated, the average gas price was $1.87 a gallon. A tremendous congratulations must be given by one and all to Barack Obama for successfully achieving one of his major goals as President of the United States...crippling high gas prices! High fuel costs are necessary to save the Country as well as the World. Americans are not willing to give Green Energy alternatives a chance if they do not...

Ryan Discussing Obamas Speech.

Last week I saw a video of a charming union member describe the Teaparty crowd in Wisconsin as "unintelligent". I was very impressed with his argument delivered through his yellow-toothed grin, tar-coated voice-box and Charlie Sheen logic, but one thing he did say was the Tea Party "cut taxes for the Billionaires". here he is, what a charmer, eh girls? Union Guy In WisconsinThat may be true, so I thought, how about not just "taxing" Billionaires, but "robbing" them to reduce the debt? Just take all their money, every evil penny from Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, around 3 of the...

When past video of Christine O’Donnell admitting she played with witchcraft in high school popped up in the 2010 U.S. Senate race, she felt the need to heavily address the issue. The Deleware candidate did this in comments denying she was still a witch, and even in a T.V. commercial, where the first words out of her mouth were “I’m not a witch”. O’Donnell ‘s big mistake was making an issue out of something that happened way back in High School. It was a non-issue, she was young and stupid like we all are at that age. No explanation beyond...
