No, Nessus and many others (including you) misinterpret the novel and the entire philosophy.
And they never will, so long as they look at the novel/philosophy through their socialist lens. I...
^^That was an atrocious article against her. But I'm not surprised, knowing just how left leaning the intellectual community is in the Western world.
How about you actually read the book then...
Yeah, if you wanna live in some stone age society, which this world has an abundance of, so take your pick.
Or alternatively, you just live on some farm, but cut off from civilisation.
No doubt being influenced by personal views as well.
As for this 'Outliers' book, when I get the opportunity I'll look into it, and will make sure that I read it with an unprejudiced mind, which is...
:rolleyes:
Anyway, I'm reading it again right now :) and I'd suggest for you to do the same!
That was cool :)
Reminds me of this girl:

She's a cutie :)
Btw that cat was hilarious :haha:
lol that was funny :p
lol! I had the misfortune of watching an episode of that show :(
Wonderful book isn't it :)
^^That's what I thought too, that you can't have one without the other. And I don't want to begin imagining what Being's comment could suggest or sanction.
LOL! That was funny :p
And what's so funny about associating humans as being logical? You don't see apes going about in the world, creating science, technology, medicine, music and the likes.

I have a 'friend' like this, he was bullied all through out high school and at home (being the eldest of 4 children). I befriended him in junior high school because I knew that I could relate to...
teehee, good enough for me ;) :p
Did you finish that sentence by sipping a cup of tea? Seeing how you were 'absolutely astonished' and all..
Yes that's right, love the free market, otherwise we'll have to resort to certain medieval practices to convince you otherwise! :p
I saw that the other day, I thought it was a pretty good comedy :)
I sure hope you're not implying/suggesting that I'd sanction any sort of mistreatment or taking away of life...
Hi Aimless :p
I'm aware that not every single colony flourished, and like I already said, in such cases (as the Indian subcontinent), the British can't be held soley accountable as to why these...
Alright then.
Well it still doesn't take away from the fact that the British empire created the modern world, more or less. Anyway, you have places like Hong Kong and Singapore that did end up...
Well I'm not familiar with these two so I don't know what to comment. But compare the British track record with any other European colonial power.
But if it makes you feel better, the Dutch were...
None that I can think of. And even those that aren't English speaking, such as Hong Kong and Singapore, attest to the positive impact of the British empire and their embracement of Western/English...
A very good commercial advocating for same sex marriage :)
