Parastitism?



Parsitsm is a form of symbiosis which refers to the relationship between the parastite and its host. Parastism can assume many forms from endoparasitism to ectoparasitism and epiparasitism. The resultant effect of parasitism can be that the host does benefits, become harmed or experience a neutral relationship. But is there a possibility that parasitism is a form of mechanism present in the environment that drives the process of evolution? For example, the host may evolute to develop resistance to the parasite that has been closely associated with its predessors or the host may undergo a shift in its behavioural pattern and change its target benefactor?

Was this a good answer to an email? (US Politics)?



My aunt and mother always send me these republican emails. This time I responded with an answer they probably won’t like. This was my reply (short and sweet):

“Great message. I think the federal reserve bank owns both parties. Republican = Democrat.”

Please tell me what you think.
———————————————————————
This was the original e-mail:
“545 vs 300,000,000
EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.

Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red ..

If the Army &Marines are in IRAQ , it’s because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!”

From the case study below, why there is a significant gap between what people say and what they do when it com?



Almost 90% of UK internet users are prepared to give away private data despite 84% of the same users claiming to be very guarded about online privacy.
While conducting research about targeted behavioural advertising, online content and advertising company AOL found that most of the 1,000 online consumers it surveyed claimed to be very conscious about their privacy and claimed to guard carefully their personal details.
It found that 84% of those people said that they would not give away income details online but then found that 89% of the those surveyed were willing to do exactly that.
“Our research identified a significant gap between what people say and what they do when it comes to protecting sensitive information online,” said Jules Polonetsky, AOL’s chief privacy officer
The survey asked participants a series of questions about their attitudes to privacy and, according to an AOL spokesman, also asked them to indicate which of a choice of income brackets they fitted into. It found that 87.3% of those who had said they guarded income details actually gave them away, the spokesman said.
The survey discovered that the message that users should protect their privacy is getting through, though. While 34% of people expected to experience credit card fraud, just 11% had actually experienced it.
AOL said that its research found that the more that people understood about the risks of online privacy violations, the less concerned they were about them.
AOL commissioned the research from consultancy Promise as part of its campaign to raise awareness of the privacy implications of targeted behavioural advertising, the practice of monitoring a person’s internet use and sending them adverts the company believes are relevant to them.
Behavioural advertising has attracted adverse publicity in some cases from privacy activists and regulators worried about the monitoring of users’ behaviour. Such monitoring is not illegal if it is done with the user’s consent and permission.
A company called Phorm ran into trouble earlier this year when internet service provider (ISP) customers reacted angrily to suggestions that their ISPs were about to install Phorm’s traffic-monitoring system to better help websites to deliver adverts related to people’s surfing.
Polonetsky recognised that there were risks attached to behavioural advertising.
“Personalising content and delivering relevant advertising online will only succeed for consumers and for advertisers if it is done in a trustworthy and transparent manner,” he said. “In addition, business and government will need to offer approaches that recognise that at certain times personalisation and data use will be welcomed, and in other cases, users will demand limits on the use of their data.”
AOL’s research was presented at a seminar at the House of Commons last month, where the Information Commissioner Richard Thomas, the UK’s privacy regulator, spoke.
He said that companies had to make sure they followed simple, clear guildelines, or risked losing their customers.
“By taking a practical, down-to-earth approach to data protection and privacy, we can simplify good practice for the majority of organisations who seek to handle personal information well,” said Thomas. “If organisations fail to meet their data protection obligations they not only risk enforcement action by the ICO, they also risk losing the trust of their customers.”
AOL used to be an internet service provider but is now a content and advertising business. Like other online advertising companies it carries out behaviourally-targetted advertising by using cookies to see what sites a visitor has previously viewed and serving ads it believes are relevant to that person.

Do you have the feeling that Obama politics will be extraordinarily messy, muddy and foggy ? Why ?



I have this feeling because of the level of manipulation that has lead to Obama’s election, because of his outstanding political skills in the sense that he will do anything to survive politically but not necessarily doing what’s best for the country and for the people. He will be heavily influenced by groups of interest while denying it (as it was the case until now). He will continue to play with the media and using uncommon communication skills (his campaign manager Plouffe is emailing Obama’s supporters asking them for advice on how to maintain Obama’s image…The people will only see what the Obama administration will allow them to see and a unprecedent part will remain behind curtains… I could continue but I’ll let you talk.

Are feminists qualified to dictate behavioral recommendations to schools?



On this website:

http://education.qld.gov.au/students/advocacy/equity/gender-sch/what/masculinity.html

Feminists have given the Queensland Governmet Department of Education and Training recommendations for how to alter the behaviors of male students. Female students? Nope, they’re perfect. No recommendations.

No, just the boys have to change because apparently masculinity is offensive and needs to be replaced with something more “feminist-friendly.”

So, what has qualified the feminists to diagnose our young boys and administer the “masculinity shield?” Is it their “Women’s Studies” degrees? Are they licensed behavioral specialists with advanced degrees in male behavioral patterns and biological disposition?

And if so, was there really a need for them to stick their noses into the school system when there was nothing happening there to begin with?

Or are they just like the other feminists who have written books on the dangers of masculinity, armed with nothing but sexist ideas and a degree from women with similar sexist ideas.

Should we really be taking the extremely biased recommendations from feminists about things that are only meant to help women/girls?

Are there any “checks and balances” in place to ensure that having feminism as a bullet point on the Queensland Governmet Department of Education and Training website is being fair to men/boys?

Should Men’s Rights Activists also target schools for ways to change girls to make men’s lives easier?

Do you think there should be a MRA link on the Queensland Governmet Department of Education and Training website?

Why does Israel want to take a control over Wikipedia ?



A pro-Israel pressure group is orchestrating a secret, long-term campaign to infiltrate the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia to rewrite Palestinian history, pass off crude propaganda as fact, and take over Wikipedia administrative structures to ensure these changes go either undetected or unchallenged.

A series of emails by members and associates of the pro-Israel group CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), provided to The Electronic Intifada (EI), indicate the group is engaged in what one activist termed a “war” on Wikipedia
A 13 March action alert signed by Gilead Ini, a “Senior Research Analyst” at CAMERA, calls for “volunteers who can work as ‘editors’ to ensure” that Israel-related articles on Wikipedia are “free of bias and error, and include necessary facts and context.” However, subsequent communications indicate that the group not only wanted to keep the effort secret from the media, the public, and Wikipedia administrators, but that the material they intended to introduce included discredited claims that could smear Palestinians and Muslims and conceal Israel’s true history.
In the past, CAMERA has gained notoriety for its tactic of accusing virtually anyone who does not toe a right-wing pro-Israel line of bias. The group has even accused editors and reporters of the Israeli daily Haaretz of being “extreme” and participating in “radical anti-Israel activity.” Jeffrey Dvorkin, the former ombudsman of National Public Radio (NPR), frequently criticized by CAMERA for an alleged pro-Palestinian bias, wrote on the web publication Salon in February 2008 that “as a consequence of its campaign against NPR, CAMERA acted as the enabler for some seriously disturbed people,” citing persistent telephone threats he received in the wake of CAMERA campaigns.

How to avoid being targeted by Sociopaths and Psycopaths?



Does gender play a role?

Profile of the Sociopath:

-Glibness and Superficial Charm
-Manipulative and Conning
-They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
-Grandiose Sense of Self
-Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”
-Pathological Lying
-Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
-Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
-A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
-Shallow Emotions
-When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
-Incapacity for Love
-Need for Stimulation
-Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
-Callousness/Lack of Empathy
-Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
-Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
-Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
-Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
-Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
-Irresponsibility/Unreliability
-Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
-Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
-Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, **** and sexual acting out of all sorts.
-Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
-Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
-Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
-Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
