Well that makes sense. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Random primary numbers? I do not think that word means what you think it means. What? Let's say I put a bunch of prime numbers in a basket and ask you to pick one without looking? Assuming I did not cheat and make them all 1, would that not be random? Yes, GTA, that would be a random primary number. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Schools have no business educating kids about sex education??? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Women make up about .5% of the winners. Do you think, as a whole, that this is because men place more value on education? Hmm. In a very macro sense, yes, that probably holds water. Though they're shifting in much of the "first world", traditional gender roles are still very much in effect. Also, men have always dominated the sciences, so even though many European and American women are highly educated, the proportions don't hold across disciplines. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Perhaps a better way of putting it would be: "If you live in and are familiar with a culture then you are more likely to thrive in that culture"? Sure, that's a fine way to put it. If you are raised in a culture that places value on academic recognition, that culture will probably produce a good number of academic achievers. If you are raised in a culture that elevates and esteems spiritual leaders and places the value on the family and the community rather than the individual's success, you have different results. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

It is partially culture, but the statement of "a nation with 1.3 billion people" is misleading and implies some sort of unified monetary source for gaining education. But no such mechanism exists. Aren't most of the middle eastern oil-producing countries Islamic? I didn't mean to imply a unified monetary source like a central treasury, simply access to a valuable resource. Just because the populace may be poor doesn't mean their governments are... Islamic influenced governments or government influenced Islam? There is a distinction, but where the lawful separation of church and state does not exist, the line is very blurry... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

While I agree that there's probably some ethno/geo centrism going on with the awards body, you don't get a nobel prize for taking a test. Advancements in chemistry for the good of mankind or a piece of soul-stirring literature can be created in any language. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Or perhaps education is more available? Education is not a natural resource. If it were a higher priority, I think a nation of $1.3 billion people with access to a LOT of natural resources could come up with a couple more schools. A nation? As in one nation? All 1.3 billion don't live in the same country. Nor are they dollar muslims either. I know. I mean the nation of Islam, and its culture. My point is that I believe cultural differences are the reason for the disparity, not necessarily resources. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Nobel Prize winners Try this. Doesn't specify nationality or religion. Going by Pop's list it would seem academic achievement tends to be more of a priority in Jewish culture... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

No. Never. But I like pie. (I wonder if GTA has any left in his brain-hole...) you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Was this post utter hogwash? I was really hoping for a counterpoint... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

That is a relatively decent synopsis. Nope. Rebecca was there, not me. And maybe one or two others? You won't catch me dead in Texas. rl You won't catch me dead in Texas either. At least not anytime soon I hope... I think there is a need for a "GTAVercetti, The Women Who Love Him, and the Men Who Envy Him Boogie" Or just the GTWWLHATMWEH Boogie for short. Notice that HAT is part of the easy-to-remember acronym. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Happy birthday dude!!

Look out, here comes an S! It's been irritating me since the thread started. Luckily, I prevented a second thread with the same mistake from being on the board. But, like I said in the other thread, it's nothing personal to you Hobbes4star, it's just my little peeve. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
