…how can peoples of different appearance… and dissimilar ways of life get along peaceably together?
This is entertaining AND educational – that rare combination.

Some people think only intellect counts…
…knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Oh my, I am a very empathic (way) ubergeek:) What does it mean? I have read it several times, still not sure what it means to me in real terms:)
Your Systemizing (SQ) and Empathizing (EQ) Quotient Test Results
| Respondent | Average EQ | Average SQ | Brain Type |
| Males | 39.0 | 61.2 | Systemizing |
| Females | 48.0 | 51.7 | Empathizing |
| Your Score | 52 | 112 | Systemizing |
What does your score mean?
Generally, the higher the score the greater your natural ability for that trait. However, the EQ test has 40 questions compared to 75 in the SQ test. As a result, although the unprocessed quotients may be used for comparing each trait ability between individuals, the absolute scores do not tell an individual if he or she has a greater tendency to empathize or systemize. A calculation taking into account the quantity of questions in each test is used to determine a person’s brain type along the following continuum:
- Extreme Empathizing (Extreme E)
- Empathizing (E)
- Balanced (B)
- Systemizing (S)
- Extreme Systemizing (Extreme S)
| Brain Types of Experimental Control Groups | |||||
| Respondent | Extreme E | E | Balanced | S | Extreme S |
| Males | 0% | 17% | 31% | 46% | 6% |
| Females | 7% | 47% | 32% | 14% | 0% |
The important factor to consider is not your absolute score, but the difference between the two. This indicates whether you have more natural ability as an Empathizer or a Systemizer. If your scores are about the same for your EQ and SQ, then you have well balanced empathizing-systemizing capabilities.
Of coursem here is a different perspective :

Top Ten Reasons to Make Gay Marriage Illegal
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03)
Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy
behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has
legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
04) Straight
marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like
many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women
are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is
still illegal.
05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if
gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney
Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
06)
Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay
couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to
marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more
children.
07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
08)
Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours,
the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s
why we have only one religion in America.
09) Children can never
succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we
as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10)
Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never
adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the
service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
Tell me what you want…
…what you really, really want.
That should be so simple, right? Right? Come on, clock is ticking…tick, tock…
It isn’t, you see. One wish to get what you yearn for. Only one! So many things, so many quick, superficial answers.
Let us make it loaded. You can have your wish, but you have to be willing to sacrifice five years of your life span for it. Now, it has some value, a price to be paid always raises the worth of something.
Now, tell me, what do you want? What does your heart call for? Money, fame, love, health? A better job, bigger house, popularity?
Or are you altruistic, well, then, world peace is the standard answer for that. (Caveat on that one, no guarantee of maintenance. You break it, you keep it).
Now, is that dream something recent, changing as you grow and mature? Or is it the thing that pulls your heart strings? What do you dream of, in your deepest heart, in the depths of night, when you cannot sleep?
Now.
Review it, are you finding it unachievable (no flying to the moon on gossamer wings, people, I canna change the laws of physics)? If impossible, start a new dream Unlikely is fine, that we can work with. The impossible is hard, miracles, well, they take longer. Let us go with unlikely, no matter how unlikely, how constrained your circumstances are, let us go with it.
Now.
What are you going to do about it? If it is worth you gambling five years of your life for, then your life is to precious to waste not at least TRYING. Whether you succeed or not, the failure is not trying.
Try.
