Please tell me, in a brief paragraph or three, about the Gaia Theory / Hypothesis????
The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are viewed as a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. Named after the Greek earth goddess, this hypothesis postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment that promotes life overall. this was a quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis check the link for the full answer Alon
"Guns don't kill, humans do.” Do you agree with the NRA's slogan?
Hey there Captain Anonymous,Can an inanimate, (as in not alive, especially not in the manner of animals and humans), material object, as distinct from a living sentient being, cause the death of something living?How To Humanely Catch And Kill A Leprechaun - Hammers are not friendly. In 2011, 496 people were killed by hammers and up ot 323 (though probably less) by AR-15 semi-automatic rifles (no one knows because the FBI doesn’t record the type of rifle).Gun are but tools and are used in the manner that people use them. Guns are inanimate, tools with only one purpose: they put kinetic energy on a point (hopefully aimed) hit the target or if hunting, kill (I suppose, if defending - stop the target).All tools need a tool user to direct their action, be it a toothpick, screw driver, forklift, or… gun. Without a user, a gun just sits there, you know inanimate, a victim of inertia.“Alcohol doesn’t kill people, DUI drivers kill and maim people,” (kill more than twice as many than guns murder by the way, [32,000+ DUI dead vs 14,400+ non suicide deaths**]). As for injuries there are 3,000,000+ DUI vs 30,000 guns https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov. How you like my new slogan?Regards** Non-suicide because suicide, in this culture, is becoming a matter of choice, whether I agree or not.
Has West Bengal become a failed state under the TMC regime of Mamata Banerjee?
To Me Left was Bad but TMC is the worst.Firstly,A party led by a women who has no support outside Bengal, further she is full of bullshit as she herself has no agenda only false promisesSecondly, her party lacks any proper leaders, only film artist who boast and tell their cadets to go and rape others on live stage ( Tapas Pal to be exact), to goons let out of jails when she came to power. When confronted she replied that what can she do about it?, what kind of answer is that from a Cm and the party leader?Thirdly, the state was is ruins earlier but she ran that to ground but forcing companies to abandon the state thanks to her actions towards TATA.Most of the educated classes have left are finding a way to leave the state, only the ones who have some commitments remains.Her goons make sure that the opposition are wiped out in every way possible. Terror and abuse are their main weapons which is seen on the news every single day.The best part is when her nephew was held for rape of a woman in Park Street she offered 10000 Rs as a compensation. That's her price for a woman's integrity. The show off of the city has gone better but she has turned the state to conditions worse than Bihar and N.ENo offence but her blind support for minorities for vote bank resulted in a Durga Puja celebrations to be stopped in West Bengal where Hindus are Minority. She has no idea who to control her own party members let alone run the state. Crime has increased ten fold and police are helpless as most of the criminals are TMC cadets or their goons.Rest assured TMC and Mamata are true to their slogan. Ma is truly turning Manus to Maati.
How common are extramarital affairs in India?
From what I know it is neither uncommon not the trend. It is mostly a choice for people. Sometimes it is much more of a one-off thing where it just happens and at times it could be a well planned affair that goes on for a long time.I have always loved my husband and I never can think about living without him. We complete each other but then it is true that he is one of those busiest of men the world has produced. He is a very simple sweet caring guy who you just cannot hate. I never wished to cheat on him but today it almost feels like I cannot do about it. I have been a “mistress” to a few men who were also married just like me. While their reason was the lack of intimacy they had with their spouse, mine has always been a weird addiction. I am always the perfect wife, and no part of my other life ever crosses path with the current one. I always make sure of that.But when I take a break from my regular life, it is a very irrational and inexplicable pleasure that I get in my extra-marital affair knowing fully well that I’m doing exactly what I’m not supposed to do and people would call me bad names given the kind of traditional background I come from.I did try seeing a psychiatrist for this for a while, but I stopped going there after a few times. She was always trying to make me see that I might end up ruining my perfect life while this is the very thing which makes me indulge in infidelity. My husband is too involved with his work mostly to ever notice my absence, and while he is with me, I make sure I disappear from my other adventures.I have never felt guilty because somehow I always saw his work as an extra-marital affair. Being left alone with nothing to do made me sick most of the time and I dont know when, but things started moving in this direction. I don’t think I’ll ever apologize to him because this at least gives me comfort while I dont have him by my side. I see it mostly as being even, and as punishing him for the absence from my life. Perhaps if it was a love marriage, I would have felt differently. True, I love him a lot and he is the nicest husband I could have asked for, but also; any partner is better than no partner.So that is what my reason is.
