Agree. A lot said there was so true.

A population's education level is usually negatively correlated with its level of religiousness. US must be an outlier among industrialized nations from that perspective.

Philosophers are like theologians, you can always find one that will tell you what you want to hear. All of you reading my post, your children, grand children, will all have lived their little tizzy filled existences and will be long dead before your dream comes true. Well, as your dying, you can always tell those around you that some day it will all end-just believe.

What can I say? Grayling is a blistering idiot or he's living in Uranus (otherwise known as fool's paradise)

I was talking to my Brit professional friend who was whining as to how only one in 6 British school kids is of actual British origin, across Britian, anglo-Saxon, that is.

While Gordon Brown and his buggered cabinet are meeting every day having nightmares of growing Islamic fundamentalism in the UK, and the appalling reserve colonization of Britain (yeah, rooster, fried and corned chicken breasts are coming home to roost ) taking place at a rapid pace, here's Mister Philosopher on Oz TV.

They must have picked him from his hotel room stoned or vacationing in Weedsterdam with Eastern European hookers

The lady that shot and killed her brother and later her fellow phds at a meeting because she was denied tenure had a phd-was brilliant. The other phds did not see that coming.

I haven't taken a burger in half a year. I'm on this maniacal diet routine

An idiot is always an idiot. The most beautiful thing about MA, D Phil, Ph. D, any other degree or general education for that matter is that it never adulterates idiocy. Its purity is grade A, money back guaranteed from the cradle to the grave

Obviously, not very much that is germane to the topic.

Either religious adherence is on the decline in developed countries or it's not. From every survey that I can find the trend across developed countries would indicate that even in the U.S. it is indeed on the decline.

If you cannot discern the difference between intelligence and mental instability then I can't help you.
