  1. Hey you're the guy from LS :o Happy birthday :D

  2. I am really disappointed with my fellow Norwegian, Torbjørn Jagland... Full article OK, he's better than Bush, but I don't think that qualifies for a price. If so, where's mine?
  3. Evolution is the keyword here. If the offsprings of nerds or geeks manage better than other, evolution will eventually favour those who get attracted to nerds. I'm not calling myself a nerd of merit, I'm just wondering what category I fall into. I consider myself to be a nerd, but I think it has a slightly different meaning in Norwegian. Do you mean that people stop being nerds after high school?
  4. O rly? Throughout the history of human kind, women have been attracted to men who are likely to be able to take care of them and their future children. As the human culture is evolving, nerds are becoming more useful than muscular men. If that male dominance and that bloody market will continue to rule the world, it will mean that nerds will be more capable of taking care of families, and evolution will eventually favour women being attracted to nerds. This is not necessarily true, since women are getting higher positions in societies, the term "family" is not the same as it has been for thousands of years, and neo-liberalism is being brought to an end as we speak. However, I consider it to be an interesting hypothesis. What am I? I know about 3 programming languages and 2 markup languages, I use Ubuntu, I have read the entire series of Hitchhiker's, Harry Potter and Animorph. Also, I have an average grade of 5/6 without putting any effort into it. I manage quite well socially, with a few exceptions.
  5. Why are we speaking English on these forums? Because it is more convenient if we all use the same language. When you are already speaking the "World Language", I don't think you have the right to complain when the rest of the world try to implement a new measurement system.
  6. Why does everyone bring up the Norse mythology? I've been to Valhalla, and I can assure you it's not all it's cranked up to be. Þórr always get to decide the fighting teams, and just sets up his strongest friends against the rest of us, which leads to his team beating us by miles every time. Heiðrún's beer tastes foul, and you have to look at Sæhrímnir slowly coming back to life as you eat his meat. I don't really like any religion that I know of, because they all involve free will to a great extent. If I had to pick one, I would probably go with Buddhism.
  7. You can probably get a lot for the Queen's iPod on eBay.
  8. I like the Norwegian welfare system, but I don't feel proud of my heritage. If I would give an ode to another country, I think it would be Venezuela. If the Progress Party wins the election this autumn and gets to form a government, I'm moving to Venezuela.
  9. Long time, no see, TIF! Economic: -10 Social: -7.23 [hide=My compass][/hide] It seems I am the one furthest to the left again. I do want to gloat, but as Lenin posted out last time, that wouldn't be very communist of me.
  10. Is psychology considered not science or a sub-branch of biology? Still, I think I must give my vote to biology. I find it interesting how life works. Math is quite interesting as well, it is useless on its own, but everything is useless without it.
  11. EVeryone being a senator wouldn't be that much of a problem, as we would equally distribute labour and remove all the unnecessary jobs, so people would be down to about 20 hour weeks.
  12. If you really knew me, you would know that you shouldn't.
  13. Yes, you do. You just specified the source of the water. Could we please get back on track?
  14. Don't forget that in communism, the doctor would get a free education, and provided with necessities while studying. Now it's the bagger who is doing all the hard work, while the doctor is going to school.
  15. Fairness is a great part of human nature, but the definition of what is fair is not. Some mindsets say it's fair that everyone can use their abilities to do whatever they want, while some mindsets find it fair that everyone have the same living standard. Capitalism/neo-liberalism is based upon the principle that everyone have equal opportunities. However, it leads to the ones with greater abilities and the ones who come first can gather enough resources to dominate over the less fortunate. It's good in theory, but it just won't work in reality. Yes. Communism is an ideology. It's not in the business of accepting or rejecting other ideologies. It's the people (societies) that accept or reject it. I suppose you meant to say that Communists don't have to accept neo-liberalist society. That's fine, so long as you can find a country that will have you. I think you already know that you're on the back foot in that sense. Culture is dominated by the ideologies a society is based upon. I apologize for the unclear formulations, but it seems that you got the meaning out of what I tried to say.
