I could describe 1, 2, and 4 to the other side just as every bit as much as conservatives have been, but the amount and lengths that conservatives go to just to keep from saying the words "I'm sorry" when they do something wrong is almost mind-boggling. I ain't just talking about Breitbart, but it's almost like there's some biological gene inside political conservatives that make apologizing for their actions impossible.

I believe the second statement. I don't get the joke in the first. However, besides that, I can link a birth COLB from Africa that stands as authentic.
Herbie, you have posted so many permutations of that COLB - that many versions, each one fixing a criticism of a past one, really does not point to authenticity.
You seem to be fixated on this idea that does not bear scrutiny.
Herbie, do you feel victimized by the fact that most people dismiss the idea that Obama was born in Africa (the exact county sifts) as obviously false? Do you admit that most people do?

I literally took it as a BS in Psychology too.
Herbie, you may have me mistaken for my wife who holds a BoS in Psychology from U of H and enjoys being a guidance counselor at the same college.
I have a BoS in Evolutionary Psychology.  For some reason I enjoy teaching science, coaching, and running a small business... |

I don't actually like the "Dead" or any of the psychedelic bands like them. Ween is about as close as I will go. I do like Radiohead, Doves, some Wilco, and Supergrass though. Great bands!
If being a "deadhead" means I appreciate art, then count me in! |

Oh. I guess that's a good joke.
What is Evolutionary Psychology and how does it differ from other kinds?

This is false. This is the same document that has been posted everytime.
There was only one other certificate I ever posted and even that had a disclaimer asking if it was real?
I have never posted any versions of a COLB, unlike the Obama camp. |

Glad you can laugh at that.
However, it was the faith icon I was referring to and not the dude in the picture.  |

In laymen's terms:
Psychology tells you why someone does what they do.
Evolutionary Psychology tells you what physical systems are there and why they evolved, and most importantly, stayed with us. I generally study and propound on the evolved structure of the nervous system.
To give an example:
My wife would say: You have this and should take that for it.
I would say: You have this because it was advantageous for our species at this time in the past, maybe not today, but for these reasons specifically. I don't know what you would take for it and I do not graph the effects of prescriptions for wide, future use either. I deal in theory. But, I am not without a good deal of psychology, as you could probably guess.
It's a science of reductionism, it's more concerned with the WHY of things... |

Me and you differ so much then...
I think Atheism is an intellectually fulfilled position.
Back before modern physics and evolutionary principle, I would have said Deism was the proper position. I think faith is the wrong way to position Atheism. It is a lack of faith. It is hardly dead! |

I beg to differ upon your analysis and examples for #1.
Blah blah blah.
Sorry, but most of us here ceased to take seriously anything you have to say about Barack Obama long ago.
We all know the real reason you have a bee in your bonnet about Obama, even if you do hide behind forum rules to protect yourself from being directly called on it. | | |
