As always, specialized scientists living under a rock...

Westren logic: "Anything true for the American society is true for
everybody on this planet!" Like hell... Just because your president
punched his father, dosen't mean that the entire world is inhabited only
with vandals and excuse my use of words.

I guess the next thing I'll read will be that humans are the perfect
social beings, eh? Clueless... A human is nothing more than an animal
robbed for nearly all of it's instincts. An active instinct will cause
one's reasoning to change, not to dissapear. IQ tests, another Westeren
sick invention, do not measure anything other but simmilarity of
resasoning.

Oh, god you're smart... You seriously belive the human body is MADE TO
SELF-DESTRUCT?! EEEEP, guess again!
The "inner mechanism" regarding a person's function in a society is long
gone with all except a few defects; the human society is artificial not
instinctive. And in case you were wondering: Yes indeed, stress is
stressfull.

I suppose you thought that the brain dosen't really exist, that the mind
is in another dimension or something... How else could one explain that
you find it strange that in-mind activity relates to observable brain
activity?
Sigh... I suppose you also find it strange that the mouse cursor no
longer moves, once you disconnect the mouse from the port.
And one more thing: Humans are not social beings. Ants, fish and wolves
are, but not humans. Humans have absolutely no social instincts aside
the sexual ones...
C'ya!
