Social Science - 24 January 2007

I've been studyng about intelligence at psychology lessons at school, and my teacher didn't know what was the highest IQ ever recorded. So who has it and how he/she uses it? Do you know any other famous people with high IQ?

On average this is 14/15,pence per gallon cheaper than the
multi-national outlets. However, i understand that it is basic
petrol without the longevity or cleaning additives. So in the long
term, if this petrol is used exclusivelly, could it be to the detrement
of the engine? Thus proving costlier in the long term?
One would wish for "genned" persons only to answer, Please!

There are some things which happen to us that really mark us.
I remember some things so vividly, I can smell the food cooking over the grill, remember the cold as the ice and snow pelted down on me, and feel the ache and pain of that time. Anyone else?

I work in a computer lab at my local college. There is this guy that comes in every day and acts very strange. I know he is not mentally disabled or anything like that, but the way he acts is beyond strange. Yesterday, he just came in when nobody else was here and started asking about the fire detector that was right behind me. I have no knowledge about the FIRE DETECTOR at the school. Other times he will just come and sit at the desk closest to me and ask strange questions. Now he seems to be trying to bait me into saying bad things about races/religions by bringing up how "cool" it was that Jewish people were killed by the Germans. I am really not coming on here to try to stir people up, I just really don't know what to do about this guy. It is really starting to freak me out because he seems like he could be the serial killer type. Please respond with what you think I should do about this.

from what I understand all this growth that is going on in China is mainly due to trade agreements being changed and western companies moving to China for their cheap labor and dictorship style government. And they make everything cheaper then US so they sell more they we sell. I guess you can kind of compare it to the immigrants from third world countries coming to first world countries and underbidding everybody for jobs and the people who were making twice what they have to settle for now. IS this the big switching of power that plans to make "China" the next superpower? I think it misrepresented in the news . IT is like they are "outsmarting" the US or something, but in reality it is money from US or other first world countries which is investing to take advantage of the cover for more dictorship capitalism so to speak.

It seems like a common theme? Is there any reasoning behind this? It seems like counselors and psychologists over use this a lot and tend to help us learn to resent our parents. Are they just easy scape goats to our own lacking? Or do parents in general somehow stop their kids from achieving their goals?

Is this how China has become so powerful?
that seems to be the biggest craze now, how China is full of really clever economic managers and they are "out-smarting" the dumb USA. But what has really happened, after all US loaned all kinds of money and gave away a lot as well all over the world, do you think it is just mult nationals from US trading countries that has enabled "China" to become the World Bank almost to the US? I mean it just doesnt make sense to me how th primary victor out WWII who lent so much money to other countries is now the biggest debtor to countries like China. Anybody with a clear, independant understanding to this phenomenon who could explain to me?
Thanks.

Last night I had a dream about me and my crush. In real life I have never even talked to my crush. This was my dream.... It starts with me standing in my driveway watching the snow fall, there was already alot of snow on the ground. I look up at the sky and then I look straight forward and I see my crush standing at the end of the driveway. I walk over to him and he smiles and I smile back. He takes my hand and we walk in to the middle of the street. There were no cars anywhere to be seen. We stood there staring at each other and then he noticed that I had my camera on me. He said he loves taking pictures in the snow so I take a ton of pictures of him in different poses in the snow and then we take a bunch of the two of us together. I put my camera down on the ground and we start chasing each other and playing in the snow together, throwing snowballs at each other, etc. Then as I am kneeling down to get another snowball he reaches down and takes my hand and pulls me back on my feet.

Okay so i was reading this book about this young woman whose best friend takes a trip to Africa. In Africa they proform a ritual. Its now called Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). I was told that this is proformed for young woman to deem them clean. If this isn't proformed then the woman cannot marry and is considered a castout. I couldn't believe it. I thought it kind of crazy. Although I can only speak for me and I am optimistic, I think this is really weird. I've never heard of this until now. And never thought of myself as someone who saw one side of something. What do you think about this "ritual"? What would you do if someone told you that you had to do something like that what would you say? I just wanted to know, I thought it kind of intresting (For lack of a better word). If your uncomfortable, I deeply apologize.
