The historical record indicates that slavery was impoverishing the U.S. South. Do you think that it would have "burned itself out" in the U.S. like it did in Europe and elsewhere had the U.S. Civil War not been fought? It , in & of itself, had not impoverished the South, although the trend was clear. It would have come to an end. The South was property rich & cash poor, the reason being the leaching of their financial assets by the North. From the ~20% tariff, federal coffers received 83% of their monies from the South, which had only half the population of the North. Moreover, these funds were...

In the meantime you just have to do the painful but necessary day-by-day plugging that your friends insist on!

Does a person's name affect their development (personality/character/attitude/potential)? Absolutely. There have been psychological papers on this point. I recall coming across a very old paper on this & their advice was to pick a fairly common but not most common type of name: Kathy. But this was like the 60s or 70s. Naming has changed. Personally I've noticed the Preacher's Child Syndrome in naming. You know, the preachers son is kinda wild to avoid being seen as prudish, a...

How would the rest of your life change if, for one day, you told the absolute truth about everything? Hiding out for a day is no problem. But what you are talking of is an actual experiment that I tried out: it's incredibly tough. Just for example my Aunt Betty asked "Isn't this the most beautiful baby you've ever seen?" Me:"Well, it's not the ugliest." Luckily I had seen one even uglier! I held in there for about a week. I learned that quite honest people lie all the time. Then I tried a...

Answer to:
If the absolute truth were to go against your agenda would you still try to refute it or would you adjust to the truth and carry on? The truth is extremely important to me; I've done much thinking over many levels on its nature & our access to it. From a mathematical point of view, philosophical, psychological, & so on. So in general I would be ethically committed to the Truth. Most people seem unaware of the actual price of adopting an "ends justifies the means" position. Contra-wise there are certain extreme...

how much weight will i lose in 3 days, if i only eat 1,054 calories per day & exersice 30 minutes? It's impossible to tell. Exercise does not directly lose you a lot of calories-a mile run might lose 200 cs, but that one little candy bar you feel you've now earned...! But indirectly it is often the key to weight loss, as it alters your metabolism rate(MR). And that is a key factor left out of your info above.

Not in Hegel's sense that the opinion of the masses can affect reality, but that in each age certain things seem obviously true(or not true) which in a different age it's difficult to see why they thought that way. There are a few in each age not affected by the zeitgeist, but most are.

Are there any conspiracy theories that you honestly believe? Examples: Kurt Cobain was killed by Courtney Love? The United States Government is covering up the truth about UFOs? John F. Kennedy's Death? The moon landing conspiracy? 9/11 conspiracy? Sure. The evidence that JFK's assassination was a conspiracy is overwhelming. If you look closely at any of the evidence against Lee Harvey Oswald it evaporates into a fog which then blows away in the wind!

Do potatoes cook faster in a pot of water boiling vigorously or a pot of water boiling gentle? Why? I'm betting that that gentle boiling cooks faster.

is the equation x^2 + 4y^2 + 5x - 2y = 144 a circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola? why? For it to be a parabola it would be squared in only one variable, but it's squared in both. For those sqed in both, to be a circle the coefficients to the x & y sqed terms would be the same including the sign; to be a hyperbola the signs of these terms would be different; & finally to be an ellipse-which is what it is-the signs are the same but the coefficients different.

If the sum of the elements of each of its SS is found, and these 265 sums added, what is the total? Well, each # appears 2^(n-1) times in the subsets of a set containing n elements. So multiplying this by the sum of all the #s in the set should do it. T he sum of #s 1,2,3,.., n is given by n~: read the ~ as a triangle. n~=.5n(n+1). 8~=36 & 2^5=32: I get 1152.

I heard the stock market is where they money's at. What are some of the basics I should know about with investing? It's a good idea to see the Market anthropomorphically! In each era there is a "truth" or "truths" that investers believe in and worship. Thus any new investment books you read are inherently wrong. Studying old investment books & the age in which they were written can give great insight into the ways of the Market. There are some books I can recommend: The "Battle" books of Gerald Loab....

If the sea level is going to rise, why arent floating platforms be built to compensate for diminishing lands, just like noah ark? First of all, Global Warming is a hoax. Secondly, if there were GW, there's no reason to suppose sea levels would rise; in fact it might go down as more water would be held on land by increased plant growth.Thirdly, FLOATING PLATFORMS? The Ark was a ship. Any kind of floating platform would be amusingly impractical.

He was asked to go on a political trip to Portugal. Although initially refusing, Anthony Eden talked him into it. On his return trip his commercial plane was shot down. Well here's the thing-& I asked a Q about it here on AB last year-Was he a spy in WW1?! If the Germans had realized such, that...

For example: Ayn Rand in Philosophy; Ludwig von Mises in Economics; Kurt Godel in Mathematics.

I was driving to visit college friends in Toronto, and the agent wanted to know where I went to school, what I did for a living, where I worked now, etc. Why do they need to know that? It's probably just standard interrogation techniques. Another possibility-though unlikely- is that you're taking a lie detector test. A friend of mine had a credit card stolen on a trip & Answered a list of odd Qs over the phone-he told me what he recalled & it seemed clear they were building base Qs to compare with possible lies-this type of test with no hookups depends on...

Thomas Jefferson: “...crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” [Is this a sense of Justice or Socialism?] Jefferson was concerned here more along the lines of balance of power-he wanted no group so powerful that it could ignore the laws. He would be horrified at our RICO laws by which the Feds can blackmail companys.

Neil Armstrong's famous quote from his first moon walk is: "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". If you could be the first to walk on Mars what would your quote be?

When the early ones reached their late teens the drinking age was lowered to 18 from 21. When they had children that reached this age, the drinking age was raised.

I like reading first-person narrative novels that engage me emotionally and intellectually, while still entertaining me. Any good books to suggest? Recently, I've read books from Paulo Cohelo to Nicholas Sparks, so I'm open, as long as it's good. Whistling in the Dark-a recent novel-I can't think of the author's name. The Heart of a Champion-supposedly a kids' book, but awfully well written. About the Author by John Colapinto. The only novel by this writer & an awesome book-suspense, action, a love story & a takeoff on the publishing industry- it bursts out of a genre charachterization, though.

Ok, I know this is kinda weird to ask but i need a really cool topic to write a paper in English class and i have no idea what to do it on. So does anyone have any sugestions? How about the plane that crashed into the Empire State Building back in the 1940s. And if you get hold of a book called Sisters in the Sky vol. 2, it shows that another plane almost hit it a few weeks before-& the crash was not pilot error! Was the crash due to the fact that the warning was from a female pilot & therefore ignored?

Answer to:
Any number multiplied by itself 0 times equals 1. What's the logic? Actually, your statement is not true since 0^0 is undefined. The way I usually explain it is from the division rule of exponents: (a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n). If you know this rule then obviously you want, e.g.,(a^3)/(a^3)=1 (except when a=0); but, by the rule, (a^3)/(a^3)=a^(3-3)=a^0: thus, you define a^0=1, except when a=0.
