Why are unions weak in the USA, but so powerful in France, India etc. even though they are bad for the economy?
Note that he is commending the resourcefulness of the manager, not his dishonesty. Also he is asking them to invest in eternity and not things that perish.
Unfortunately, you consider Jesus to be irrelevant as you wrote in an essay: "bronze age shepherds wandering about in Palestine". On the contrary.
Read Jesus. Your world will be shaken.
He is using Google blogger/blogspot with an OpenId from Microsoft.
Is it easy to get a fake account?
As far as I know, the aim was to deter fake accounts and at least with some msn accounts, a credit card is required. (with blogger, a cell phone account).
Is this someone I know? a neighbor perhaps? that is what concerns me because he could physically attack us. I don't care too much about some random person on the internet.
Sorry, but that is the truth IMHO. Anti-Hispanic feelings run high in many states in the US and is largely unreported in the media. Just as anti-black feeling was socially acceptable in an earlier era.
(I look Hispanic myself, and realized how much they are disliked when my wife observed that I receive glares and cold stares from strangers).
It is my observation - I too studied in India. It is common knowledge that brahmins (caste) as a group are more intelligent than the average population. For example, They have made up the bulk of Nobel laureates from India.
My room mate was from the untouchable caste (translation for Americans). He was super intelligent too - managed to leave the country and got 2 post graduate degrees in the USA, trained himself to run marathons.
regarding your comment on hereditary occupations, please read this article
"In the dead of the night, when the city of six million goes to sleep, groups of jobless low-caste Hindus, known as Dalits, eke out a living by removing human excrement from pits in the poorer neighbourhoods of the city."
many Asian/Indian men find white women more attractive - that is why models in these countries tend to look caucasian. It works the other way, too. My wife said that she observed in Africa, that white women only married Africans if they were highly educated, handsome and wealthy.
"what it is that makes black-white marriages taboo"
Black Americans are a lower caste - Unfortunately. How many wealthy intellectual white-black marriages do you see? Few. But now Hispanics are the new ------ in America today. (a certain word that I wont use)
"it is impossible to make it into the best schools without a great deal of personal wealth"
you are mistaken. The best Universities are almost free - subsidized by the government. (However in high schools, those that are English speaking Western schools do require wealth). Only brains counts. The IIT Math entrance exam is said to be the toughest in the world (google for past qs papers).
1) I hate to say it but often lower castes have dark skin and african features. You will also find most of the brightest students in a University are brahmins - the highest caste - just ask your friends their caste and correlate with their intelligence. The caste system is racist. You cannot change your caste. Period. You were born with it. It is interesting but sad. Forced hereditary occupations lead to differences in appearance and even IQ across thousands of years. Low castes clean toilets - high castes are priests in temples (translation: the intellectual leaders today).
2) The caste system is very prevalent. It also leads to corruption similarly as Rick Warren found tribalism was the cause of corruption in Africa.
3) How many white-black mixed marriages do you see in America? Not many. Most kids up for adoption are biracial black-white. The prejudices remain over here in the USA - at least in relationships. Read the chapter on preferences in interracial dating in the book Freakonomics.
