    Everyone hate's K-Fed, but he did alright.

    They did sign a pre-nup. I, for one, am devestated by this news. He is what I aspired to be, but if he and Britney can't make it work, then how am I going to?

    Long hair or short?

    Good work on collecting all that evidence. I'm suitably impressed that, unlike GOGL, you're willing to provide support for an argument. That being said, two things spring to my mind. Firstly, with that data having been collected on the internet, there are some inherent traits in it that I...

    okay, call me racist if you will..

    He meant reviewed as in "peer-reviewed", like work submitted to academic journals is. Obviously, O'Reilly's book could not be reviewed in this way, as it's not an academic book, but then, that might be a tell as to the quality of the author's analysis.

    okay, call me racist if you will..

    Political scientist Huntington is "crudely formed ideology of the far-left", but you're advocating Bill O'Reilly's book? Just trying to get all the facts.

    Long hair or short?

    Your persistent claims of your use of "empirical evidence" are interesting in light of your failure to produce even one citation. Raj Singh, a researcher into cultural norms at Valparaiso University, writes: "With no claim to a rational justification, we largely demand that adult males...

    How to dress to impress?

    Yeah, True Religion is a denim brand, and those jeans look A LOT like TR. Weird.

    Arguments against Femanism

    This assumes a lot about people, namely that we are rational choice actors. We are motivated for reasons beyond purely financial ones. The IQ evidence is tenuous at best. The IQ test is not an empirical evaluation of intelligence. When it was developed, through its first three incarnations...

    Arguments against Femanism

    Try looking into femInism, and you'll see that it's not the terrible thing that woman haters on this site (about getting women?!) spout off about constantly. Feminism isn't just man hating, and most feminists aren't man-haters.

    Fake designer jeans on ebay?

    At that price, those TRs are almost certainly fake. That being said, it's not like you're paying for quality when you buy True Religion; you're paying for the name and design. So if you can't tell they're fake, no one else can either, and mission accomplished for $85 instead of $250. The only...

    Failing two classes

    I wouldn't worry about it as much as it sounds like you're doing. Most employers/grad schools look at you holistically, i.e. how you grew as a student, rather than overall. You should be fine, just work hard from now on.

    Haha, understatement of the year. I think the Tigers are going to annihilate the Cards.

    Help On Getting Ear Pierced/Earing

    Doctors don't do piercings...Where did you hear that? Go to a tattoo/piercing studio. It's fun. Don't let anyone with a piercing gun anywhere near your ears. Insist upon the needle.

    MLB Playoffs

    There's no reason for MLB to impose a salary cap. Salary caps are designed to improve parity in sport, but leagues with salary caps (the NFL and NBA) have less parity in their championship teams than MLB does. A lot can be done with a little money (see: Florida Marlins 2006). The fault isn't...

    MLB Playoffs

    Which of the hitters in the lineup is overpriced? I'll never understand why Steinbrenner is so hated for WANTING THE TEAM HE OWNS TO WIN. I guess it's jealousy; I'd sure love the owners of my Mariners to spend commensurate with the amount of money they make. Steinbrenner goes above and beyond...

    To all the students with heavy courseloads!

    OT: Where are you studying in Norway? I'm studying Norwegian as the language requirement for my uni, and I'm interested in postgraduate study in Norway in psychology. What can you tell me about school there, other than that it's outrageously expensive?

    NFL Thread

    I was shocked and dismayed at the Seahawks-Bears game. Hasselbeck looked like his old self, not the master of his offense like he has been most of this season and last. The only thing I can take from this is hope that Stevens and Alexander will be back soon. I'm still not ready to concede that...

    unwilling tattoo?

    That's true. Those brain surgeries are relatively common and are very successful in treating thos conditions. A lobotomy is different though. By definition, it's a removal of all, or at least a major part, of the frontal lobe, and is something not many doctors would be into. Medicine doesn't...
