I agree, that was why I wanted him to explain what he meant with the word. Some sort of mental imbalance or chemical imbalance. I don't know if you would call it mentally ill, but something that doesn't work quite right in their brain... maybe cau...  [Read More]

I agree in that case. I guess I was just baffled by the whole "raping a 77" year old thing. I also have been reading a lot about serial killers, so I think that I was over analyzing the situation. Anyways, I do agree and talk a lot ab...  [Read More]

Your naivete in this matter is endearing, but pure sexual desire is largely considered to not be the primary driving factor of most rapes. A lot of it is about the feeling of power, dominance, etc. This isn't a date rape, after all; it's a violent cr...  [Read More]

Why not? From the point of view of a rapist, a 77 year old woman is an easy target that represents a low level of self-risk. They won't put up much of a fight and you're more likely to scare them into not reporting the crime. It's not about the sex....  [Read More]

But in all seriousness, it seems like 'mental illness' is the general response to people who are rapists, murderers, thieves Not in all rape cases... But in this particular case I would say so. Again, I'm just assuming and I could be wrong.. I jus...  [Read More]

You could argue, Jae, that evilness is a mental disease. That would be preposterous. Let me correct myself, people who do such heinous crimes are mental. Unless somebody would like to argue with me that rape is something everyone desires and he...  [Read More]

The rapist clearly has a mental illness... The fact that he said that "there is not god" should not even lead to anybody thinking that this is what happens if you don't believe in god. Hitler believed in god and nobody ever pulls that card...  [Read More]

You already claimed your scenario was real. It's either real or made up -- can't be both. If you're talking about a real scenario during the industrial revolution then there was already a small population of dark moths before the soot. My scenario i...  [Read More]

Coinsidence? Not really, lets asume there is a 0.01% chance of a moth being born with a mutation turning it black. That makes it 1 in 10 000, moths are not exactly a threatened specie, so lets asume there are 100 000 (there is probably a lot more...  [Read More]

Well that's not exactly how natural selection works. Natural selection doesn't automatically result in species extinction if they're less suited -- there would simply be far less in the population. They wouldn't all die. Of course it would take a wh...  [Read More]

It's not like the moths said "hey look, the trees are covered in soot. Let's make black babies!" Of course they didn't, that's stuff left for Harry Potter. The moth issue was pure natural selection with two already existing variations in t...  [Read More]

Depends on how you define adaptation. :) The definition through biology of course. Natural selection drives evolution. Change drives adaptation. It drives both, according to Dictionary.com and my old Biology Teacher. "that results from natu...  [Read More]

They are pretty similar. Adaptation: any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment. Ev...  [Read More]

No, no. Scientists say that 10 seconds for 413 metres is almost the time of free fall from the same height. Some (not necessarily scientists) like to proclaim that this would be impossible for any collapse of any building without the involvement of e...  [Read More]

That's fine, however I'm not sure why I (or we) should assume this. Bush dragged his feet for how long before he would approve an investigation? Not inspiring a lot of confidence there. Interesting point. I think you're misinterpreting what Ray s...  [Read More]
