Don't worry floop: without the ability to stereotype, the species would have gone extinct LONG ago, assuming it could EVER have evolved in the first place, opinions of the ACLU and many Canadians notwithstanding. The brain IS an instrument of discrimination, first and last, love it or leave it, but, for many, one of those discriminations is somehow AGAINST the ability to discriminate. Go figure. Fortunately, natural selection, not the United Nations, will arbitrate, assuming we somehow manage to sidestep "ascension" to "higher" consciousness.
In lieu of ascent, I think I need to get me some of that Beulah-type stuff, but please, tell me "Yoko" doesn't mean "Yoko".

Thank you for the characteristically disciplined answer CoF. Sorry about the lecture. You don't want to argue about stereotyping? I remember when this forum was fun and people argued a lot. Reminds me of that old Star Trek episode where Kirk and the Klingon leader discover that their emnity is fueling the evil entity. Or that New Generation two-parter where Picard infiltrates the band of archaeological plunderers that is seeking the pieces of an ancient Vulcan superweapon, only to discover that the weapon's waves destroy only those possessed by a will to aggression. "Don't be aggressive Cave Child", said Cave Momma: "You don't want to grow up with a frontal lobe, now do you?" "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" as Doe/Cervenka observed in 1983, back when political correctness was just beginning to replace intellectual honesty, back when hardcore lefties still believed in the First Amendment to the Constitution of United States of America, but shortly after those United States became the Great Satan, as labelled by the simple terrorist who has somehow (read "inevitably") ascended (if one stands on one's head) to the Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

YOKO is in reference to Yoko Ono. i think partially as a joke, since Yoko broke up the beatles, and YOKO was their break-up album. i think Miles Kurowski is a fan too though..
erebus, i'll hook you up.

if natural selection is so natural how come it results in such high volumes of death when humans apply it?

I could be persuaded to debate it, just didn't feel up to big posts last night nor debate, was pretty tired and/or feeling the barley as it were. And I'm still not up to it this AM, but maybe later.
Rereading your question, I thought you were asking if Yoko Ono was involved in the record someway, but I think they, as Floop said, called it that because Yoko, well, read his post... :)
So you see I'm still too lethargic.

er ...., because death is the selection part? at least when it intervenes between birth and procreation? all earthly forms of life arose sculpted via processes more subtractive than additive. humans stand upright with hardened skulls because we used to excel at bashing, at least before we endorsed wholesale pussification, an endorsement no doubt doomed to evolution's chasmic ashbin and that Islam has somehow managed to skirt. do the math, multicultural europe.

Yes, I was referring to that Yoko, so both you and floop were on that beam. And my regrettably unoriginal antidote to that particular lethargy is more barley and caffeine, especially caffeine, or is it "especially barley"? I forget. In any case, by the time you regain yourself I'll have entered my recuperative slumber, like the boa that swallowed the capybara. yuk yuk.

I would say we still excel at bashing though I'd imagine natural selection's mysterious ways would want to start giving us skulls resistant to radiation considering what we're using for bashing material this weather. And multicultural Europe? give the federal state a decade or so have everything to a nice creamy middle. There's even a Beethoven song for a national anthem, music to invade Poland by.

Everytime I read this thread I'm drunk. The problem is tonight's a Monday and I have to be at work in 5 hours...
