Overnight Open Thread (1-31-2016)In the last ten thousand years - an instant in our long history - we've abandoned the nomadic life. We've domesticated the plants and animals. Why chase the food when you can make it come to you?For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven't forgotten. The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood. We invest far-off places with a certain romance. This appeal, I suspect, has been meticulously crafted by natural selection as an essential element in our survival. Long summers, mild winters, rich harvests, plentiful game - none of them lasts forever. It is beyond our powers to predict the future. Catastrophic events have a way of sneaking up on us, of catching us unaware. Your own life, or your band's, or even your species' might be owed to a restless few-drawn, by a craving they can hardly articulate or understand, to undiscovered lands and new worlds. European Refugee Roundup: EU Leaders Insist There is 'NO LINK' Between the Migrant Crisis and New Year Sex Attacks in Cologne Minutes state: 'As far as the crimes in Cologne were concerned, he [Timmermans] said that these were a matter of public order and were not related to the refugee crisis.' Move along citizen - nothing to see here. Daily Mail Articles on Migrant Murder of Alexandra Mezher Being Censored in Sweden Swedish Police Reveal They Have Dealt With 5,000 Incidents Involving Migrants Since October 6' Tall, Bearded, 14 Year Old "Unaccompanied Minor" Refugee in Sweden Raises Questions Mass Migration Will Give Sweden a Male Gender Imbalance Worse Than China No doubt that they're part of some unsavory group but this is exactly what you get when political leaders abdicate their most basic responsibility: protecting the people they claim to represent. Based on the paths of other countries if these legitimate safety concerns are left unaddressed, you will eventually start seeing the appearance of death squads either with the tacit approval of local police or drawn from the police themselves. Note that this is all foreseeable. And avoidable. The Naked Truth: On Nude Statues and Civilization Renaissance thinkers blended Classical ideas with Christian thinking: man could be seen not as just a fallen creature in a vale of tears but as the foremost of God's creations, whose good in this life was important to the Almighty. Note that as a married man of nearly 50 years and a former member of the military Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is no doubt quite familiar with the naked female and male forms.
Bernie Sanders: The Incompetent Bum Who Wants Your Money It wasn't as bad as he says. His family managed to send him to the University of Chicago. Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck - and it was a government check. New Mandatory Diversity Training For Students At Mizzou Focuses On Taco Costumes Well taco costumes are simply the worst. BDS Watch: White House Orders Israeli Products Made in the West Bank, Gaza To Be Specially Labeled Moe Lane Reviews Rumfeld's Churchill Solitaire Can Alzheimer's Be Passed From Person to Person? Granted the conditions are unusual but it is suggestive that there could be a prion-like component to the disease. Olympic Committee Makes All Female Events de facto Coed Men will allowed to compete in women's events as long as they regard themselves as women and their testosterone levels have been in the female range for a year. No surgery is required. NFL Player Just Accepted to the Math PhD Program at MIT Baltimore Ravens player John Urschel may have to juggle his spring training schedule a bit to fit into MIT's class schedule. The 6'3", 305-pound offensive lineman will begin a PhD in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this year. The Hulk-like math geek, who graduated from Penn State with a 4.0 grade point average, will study spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra, and machine learning. Here Urschel explains why he plays professional football when he regards himself as a mathematician: "What my mother and a great majority of my friends, family, and fellow mathematicians don't understand is that I'm not playing for the money," he wrote. "I'm not playing for some social status associated with being an elite athlete." Welcome to 2016: 'Reverse Dog Porn' I wonder how many engineers and dog trainers were involved in this. A Cautionary Tale For the Morons: Pantsless Man Killed In Crash Was Fapping to Porn On His Phone Chinese Company Gives Sex Dolls To Single Male Employees For Annual Bonus And based on the pictures not the good Real Doll kind either. I've got to believe this is either a joke or corporate social pressure for the single men to get married. Weekly Commenter Standings Top 10 commenters: Top 20 sockpuppeteers: The group.
