man I dont get it! When I speak a little bit of truth everyone thinks I am racist. I blame this on the elite liberals who are taking america down. The politics have gotten so bad that no one can even say the truth anymore

hmm, liberal bashing? i can side with that. its true, pc is taking over.

Every post I've seen of yours has some kind of race bend. You must live a tortured existence.

sigh

 

[tank you]

so too with everybody in some roundabout form or fashion, but at least we admit it

except when your interviewer asks you if you think altruism is an important behavior trait or some other crap like that. 😎

Well if you call being African American and worrying about getting stopped by police everyday b/c of the color of your skin (etc...)...then I guess you could say it is torture. But I live through it!

And I was only joking about the shotgun thing

No one said europeans (I like that word better) did not think outside of the box....I just said that while doing so they were also ensuring their domination over other cultures.

And enslaving others did have alot to do with your success....Honestly, I cannot have any hard feelings about it b/c everyone did it. When people are enslaved, they are oppressed in many ways....one being the prevention of applicating ideas that may lead to overall progress for that ethnic group. "Divide and conquer in all facets".....that's a phrase used by many Afrikaans during apartheid.

Thank you brother malcom X lol I dont know why you are telling me thinks I already know... I went to college too lol 🙂

very interesting. where did you go to undergrad then, since you had a choice? and was your father supportive of your denial to columbia?

My father is cool with my decision not to attend columbia. The really expensive tuition made it easy to persuade him otherwise. I chose to accept a baseball scholarship for my instate school. To make a long story short I had an injury and I decided not to continue playing ball. I missed the spring semester of school. I would rather not say where I go because it was kind of a big deal that I did not continue to play. My family is cool as long as I go into medicine. My uncle is a doc and I laugh when I think of some of the convos we had when I was younger. It felt like he was the godfather and I was micheal corloene as he lecutured me about the family business. My dad is the only non doc out of his three bros.

You are talking garbage. The West is where it is largely because of its monopoly over violence. Read what Belgians did in the Congo before you go spouting crap like that again.

As for Nobel Prizes and all that rot, I don't mean to sound racist, but it is a fact that most discoveries in math and sciences (and inventions) have been restricted to a handful of national groups, mostly in Europe and/or European American. China and parts of the Middle East are the big exceptions, with enormously important scientific inventions. I am not saying this is because of some sort of superiority. Rather, I think it is because of cultural differences. The Japanese stand out as being the most "restricted" ethnic group I have ever seen. You can see some of this in their language, which has a complex system of honorifics. In a culture that is so socially crystallized, that crushes all challenges to the established order, it is difficult to be creative. Japanese musicians play entirely without feeling (listen to Midori play a piece, then listen to Oistrakh play it). China is much less restricted and hence China has had the preponderance of non-Western contributions to science and technology.

i blame this on the elite liberals who are taking america down. i always wonder if theres a good med school out there where one could answer flat out no to this question and be just fine, but i have yet to find a school like that. im really hoping its not asked--its been pounded over our heads enough already thusfar

yea i wonder whether i would've chosen to be a doc if i had a physician family. back in the day it would've been a right of passage for you, a family trade. lousy modern education system ruined all that hmm.

thanks for sharing what you have. sucks about the injury, but i'm sure you've used it as motivation. baseball or medicine? that's damn tough, considering the compensation and fulfillment involved with both professions. (assuming you were good enough to get in minor or major leagues)

No, I am not Chinese. I am white, you twit. And for your info, the nobel prizes count for **** compared to the truly important inventions of history.

The Chinese have invented so many things, from the binomial theorem and the abacus, the seismograph and cast iron process, porcelain, the oldest canal in the world, silk, gunpowder, the rocked, the grenade, the astrolabe, the magnetic compass, calligraphy, independently invented writing (only case apart from the Sumerians), paper, the printing press, paper money, and the first oceanic navigation (to the Indian Ocean, way before the Europeans), etc.

You are obviously uneducated.

Yep. It is funny that you bring this up. I asked three of my uncles why they choose medicine. They said that they find the work very fascinating but I did not sense an altruistic motive.

i think its a recent phenomenon. and its disturbing. politics are invading medicine

 

[mercaptovizadeh]

The point is that the inventions of the Chinese are some of the most essential and enduring to this day. While you seem to think that the whites invented everything and all other races are just mindless automatons and dullards. And the other point was that the Nobel Prizes don't necessarily reflect history, since they are, afterall, just a hundred years old.

thank you mr. miage sp. My question to you... If they invented all those great things and they are working 10 times harder than the rest of us, why are they not winning anyting now?? 4 words thinking outside the box

Oh, OK, it's nice to know that MacKinnon's crystallization of a bacterial potassium channel (which won a Nobel prize) is supposed to be the benchmark of creativity. How ingenious! He must have "thought outside of the box." As for today, I think Chinese (and many other peoples) do have the potential to be as inventive as they once were, perhaps that will happen relatively soon. You never know. Russia made very few contributions to world civilization until the late 1700s/early 1800s, and after that, they provided some of the top composers, writers, and mathematicians. I don't understand history, I just know that you understand it even less than I.

My family is not forcing me into medicine , but they are not open to any other field. LOL. I guess the injury is a blessing in disguise, I can focus on my grades without worrying about the next game, the next pitcher, my next at bat.

consider that the chinese were taken a century back in time by the mao regime's call for mass agriculture. students, engineers, everyone moved to farm villages. but i wouldn't expect americans who don't study Asian history to know much of anything about the cultural revolution.

it destroyed any hope of scientific advancement in that country. but the few who escaped to the U.S. and abroad were able to get 1957,1976,1986 (chemistry), 1997, and 1998 nobel prizes in physics. mind you these prizes are awarded for discoveries made a substantial amount of time ago. there'll be a growing trend.

Shredder, can you really blame the latest trend in medicine on the liberals? I wish we could all stop faking altruism. I personally want to go into medicine because I have spent time with my uncle who is a CT surgeon, and I think what he does is cool as hell and the money is good. I am really a bad person because of this?

No stem-cell research should be funded by the government.

i blame a lot on the liberals. we wouldnt have to fake it if the med school establishment didnt require it of us, which they absolutely do. i blame the right for giving in to "compassionate conservatism" to appease voters. since when was the right compassionate, theyre supposed to be hardliners! i think the liberals are pioneering the altruism bit and the right is passively tagging along, bc who wants to oppose it and look evil? med schools, especially the top ones, are awash in leftist thinking

See, here you demonstrate that at heart you are just like SDNtheone. Because you have the attitude of the "third world" being some sort of penal colony for America's serial killers. Crazy! Besides, there's tons of "projects" in the US that need to be taken care of. Otherwise, I disagree with you, I would keep brutal murderers locked up for the rest of their lives (no death penalty, though).

well, they wouldn't be allowed to roam free obviously! but it just seems to make more sense. or we can continue the killing, if thats what you want.
