Most cut guys suffer from dick delusion. They are told cut dicks are better so they don't cry over the piece they are missing, but in return they believe it to be true and start rationalizing their deformity with a weird and irrational fear of foreskins.

NASA had to relabel the penis sleeve for urinating in space suits from "small, medium and large" to "large, gigantic and humongous" because astronauts would only choose large and they kept slipping off.

There is no Nobel Prize in economics. It's awarded by Sweden's central bank, foisted among the five real prizewinners, often to economists for the 1% -- and the surviving Nobel family is strongly against it.

The five real Nobel Prizes—physics, chemistry, literature, peace, and medicine/physiology—were set up in the will left by the dynamite magnate when he died in 1895. The economics prize is a bit different. It was created by Sweden’s Central Bank in 1969, nearly 75 years later. The award’s real name is the “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.” It was not established by Nobel, but supposedly in memory of Nobel. It’s a ruse and a PR trick, and I mean that literally. And it was done completely against the wishes of the Nobel family.

Sweden’s Central Bank quietly snuck it in with all the other Nobel Prizes to give free-market economics for the 1% credibility. One of the Federal Reserve banks explained it succinctly, “Few realize, especially outside of economists, that the prize in economics is not an “official” Nobel. . . . The award for economics came almost 70 years later—bootstrapped to the Nobel in 1968 as a bit of a marketing ploy to celebrate the Bank of Sweden’s 300th anniversary.” Yes, you read that right: “a marketing ploy.”

“The Economics Prize has nestled itself in and is awarded as if it were a Nobel Prize. But it’s a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation,” Nobel’s great great nephew Peter Nobel told AFP in 2005, adding that “It’s most often awarded to stock market speculators .... There is nothing to indicate that [Alfred Nobel] would have wanted such a prize.”

Members of the Nobel family are among the harshest, most persistent critics of the economics prize, and members of the family have repeatedly called for the prize to be abolished or renamed. In 2001, on the 100th anniversery of the Nobel Prizes, four family members published a letter in the Swedish paper Svenska Dagbladet, arguing that the economics prize degrades and cheapens the real Nobel Prizes. They aren’t the only ones.

Scientists never had much respect for the new economic Nobel prize. In fact, a scientist who headed Nixon’s Science Advisory Committee in 1969, was shocked to learn that economists were even allowed on stage to accept their award with the real Nobel laureates. He was incredulous: “You mean they sat on the platform with you?”

Hitler's goal was to unify all the germanic peoples of europe under the reich. to him and the rest of the nazi leadership, the other ethnic groups in germany were a blight upon the nation and had to be removed. so they started removing them. like literally shipping them to other places. then many were killed at those places and many were not. but the goal was a unified germany, not primarily the hatred of other races. the holocaust has been sold as the hatred of jews primarily, but that was not the primary intention of any forced resettlings and internments. it was to get them out of germany. then they didn't know what to do with them.

And Hitler's second goal was to "free" all the germanic peoples of europe, and then crush russia and the rest of the slavic nations. he hoped britain would ally with him but they never did. He thought they had common interests, but Churchill didn't see it that way. Chamberlain did but he lost power right as Hitler was ramping up his offensives.

The killings of civilian populations and the "military meat grinders" were part of the same process, this attempt to create a greater germany, with a large "lebensraum" to grow into. Farmland taken from the russians basically.

What you're missing is that most of the Jews who allegedly were killed during WW2, and a lot probably were, were killed in Poland. Poland was invaded by Germany (and Russia). It wasn't "their own government" except by conquest. They were killing the civilians of a conquered population. Just like the Soviets did when they invaded new land. Like I said before, only 60,000 of the deported German Jews were ultimately killed. 30,000 French Jews (another conquered population).

Europe has a lot of long lasting ethnic tensions going back for centuries, and to whitewash them from an American "anti-racist" perspective is to miss how powerful they were during the first world wide oil war. Everybody with an army saw they could finally do something about their long standing grudges.

Somewhere, somehow, humans decided that successful human-to-dog relationships would need to parallel the wolf-to-wolf relationships demonstrated within the wolf pack. After all, if dogs are descended from wolves doesn't it make sense that dogs would maintain the same 'pack' hierarchy and social order as their ancestors?

For decades that was certainly the popular belief - so dog training methods and techniques were developed based on the belief system that humans must hold the 'alpha' status and be 'dominant' over the family dog in order to keep it in line.

Now it's 2012, and it has been over ten years since the alpha/dominance wolf pack research and theory was found to be flawed and invalid, yet many dog trainers, veterinarians and others within the canine industry continue to promote and apply the alpha/dominance wolf pack theory to dogs and canine behaviour in general.

Humans are encouraged to put great store in the dog as a companion, but that is because of our modern personal isolation and our sick ecology. There are still many societies in the world that demonstrate what more fully mature men think of such a companionship (or neurotic zoophilia) by eating the dog whenever they can.

When children or adult neurotics make substitute people out of their animals they put demands on them that far exceed the animals' capabilities. The human authoritarian control exercised over pets creates an illusion of social adjustment. The animals are expected to fulfill human roles; they are not thought of as species with their own purposes, different from men and deserving honor for their difference. Instead, they are pseudo-totemic fathers, mates, slaves, children, brothers, scapegoats, doormats, and sexual objects.
