None. Because "ethics" is a matter of perspective, not one of mathematics or science. Like "morality", ethics depends on ones point of view or perspective, nothing else. Baron Max
From whom to whom? "Social responsibility"? What's that? Something we cook and eat at some holidays or something? C'mon, Sam, you know better than that, don't you??? Or are you trying to get some kind of rise out of this obviously controversial subject ....of which you're so admantly connected somehow??? The very term "social" implies a cohesive group of people. So ....to which group are you referring? And you will, of course, note that it makes a difference from one group to the next. Baron Max
The affected groups of course. Isn't it significant, in the light of present conflicts that Palestinian Arabs and Jews share the same origin?
Well, it'll be different to the different groups. For the rest of us, who actually gives a shit? And it ain't gonna' make no difference in how they act toward each other after all this time of fighting and killing and dying. No, because science has shown by DNA bullshit that we're all connected back through history anyway. Ain't nothin' actually changed, Sam, you're just trying to stir up the Pal-Israeli issue in a different way, that's all. How can you be so narrowly focus on the Pal-Israeli issue, when India has so fuckin' many problems that it's sinking in it's own poverty, sickness, discrimination, violence, hatred, corruption, etc? With all of that going on in India, why is the Middle East such a major issue for you??????? Baron Max
It would not surprise me. Most humans are almost genetically identical so I don't know what they proves anyway.
Yeah Baron has a good point, why are you always posting about the middle east? Aren't you an American?
No I'm an Indian Muslim. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And you don't know anything about genetic anthropology, do you?
Fortunately this information has been widely publicized. I first ran across it at least a year ago. I'm sure I've posted it on SciForums a couple of times. The irony is too rich. As for "most humans are genetically identical," that has got to be the dumbest thing anybody's said here since Cool Skill started taking his medicine. Congratulations!
