While it's not precisely known, what is estimated to be the percentage of the human genome that is physically expressed? This means it is actively transcribed into RNA, which is the single strand of our double-helix DNA molecule. An RNA single strand is that which is encoded in each ovum and sperm that contributes to the conception of each of us as a living being. That means every single ovum and perm we produce is not identical. RNA includes protein-coding regions (genes) and other functional elements involved in regulating gene expression and other cellular processes.The rest of the genome, often referred to as non-coding DNA, is thought to play various regulatory roles or have unknown functions. But, contrary to popular expression today, and according to the Human Genome project, concluded in 2003, not a single bit of it defines racial features. Zero. Nada. Oops.


I have my own belief on "racial" origin, but I'll hold it until later on in this string.

it is said there are three kinds of people:

  1. Make things happen.
  2. Watch what happens.
  3. Wonder what happened.


Which are you? one may think this belongs in the philosophy section, but I believe this is more cultural than any other area, because it points to being aggressive or passive, and that is mostly a cultural phenomenon. Now, by culture, I do not mean race, because I do n ot believe race exists, and the Human Genome Project, concluded in 2003, confirmed that.

This really only applies to matter in which you do not currently have any skin in the game. Consider brushing your teeth. You've probably already chosen a favored tooth cleaning product, and it is likely dispensed from a tube. You likely have a full set if different clothes, tops, bottoms, etc, from which to choose and new choices among them are purchased occasionally, but, by and large, you are not limited to one or the other of that set, so that's settled choice as well.

But, such choices as: do you believe in god? That choice is not simply binary: yes or no. Which god? By what attributes? Is there peer pressure? Why is there a need?

Lots of choices like that which seem binary truly have multiple choices. So why do we consider one;y a binary world of choices?

fauxlaw

As I said: you don't know me. You act like every choice is binary. Nope, join the real world. You have multiple choices, and think binary. I have multiple choices, and try to find more.

I'm doing better than expected. physical therapy recovery is well above expectation. I'm even walking short distances entirely on my own without need of walker or cane. Couldn't be happier. Thanks.

True. Hamburger Hamlet was for the adults in the room.

Did Kammycakes save Stephen Colbert by announcing on his cancelled show that she is stepping out of public life to support public life? Or has she just surpassed Donald Trump's 30,000 lies by more word salads?

I find moral epistemology to be a difficult philosophy to support considering that the ancient Greeks, for a period of time, thought and practiced that every crime committed deserved the death penalty as deterrent to any crime, yet crime continued to be committed. It is relatable to the current Democrat theory that banning guns will end death by gun, ignoring that a gun is just a tool that requires a human brain and hand to use the tool, and that, on its own, laying on a table, the gun will harm, let alone kill, no one. The same can be said for any tool that might be used as a handheld weapon. Are we going to ban spoons?

fauxlaw

Without actually having a larger-caliber gun, the typical .22 or .38 caliber gun may actuary do less damage than a knife can, if death is not the resulting consequence. Of course, the larger caliber must also come with the smile of Jesus on one's face, according to "Dirty Hairy" [Clint Eastwood].

I do not "hate" anyone. That, to me, is unacceptable language by accusation. I am somewhat in opposition to Trump, and voted for Cruz in the 2016 primary, and voted for Trump in that fall election because I knew Hillaryous Balloon Girl was fond of, and wrote her senior thesis on Saul Alinski, whose 1971 Rules for Radicals was a progressive [a communist who is soft on one's self] primer, and for Trump in 2020 because I've known since 1973 [Biden's entry into the Senate] that Biden was a useless lapdog of Robert Byrd [KKK grandmaster], and for the same reason in 2024, except dumber than than dumbest. And Kamakazzi was beyond dumbest. I've known of her [also being from CA] that she was worthless as a city [SFO] DA, let alone state AG as the lapdog of Willy Brown [CA Democrat of years of nonsense].

"RFK is a republican."
RFK is a generation removed. He is a was. You're exposing your relative youth. I said "Bobby." By known patriarchal lineage of millennia in the making, that's RFK Jr's father, boyo. He was a Democrat, though no Democrat today would accept his credentials. I would.

American cheese is processed cheese. i.e., not cheese.

"I think we should start from scratch and have a clean slate..."

I agree, but it appears stats have been added to the Debate Leaderboard, except for Comments and Votes.

I make my own hamburgers, thanks, using only USDA prime marbled, ground myself, min. 3/4 lb, grilled rare, with sautéed mushrooms, only [in sherry & butter, with fresh-minced garlic] on a brioche bun, as once served at L.A.'s original Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Blvd. No condiments. Having that for tonight's dinner.

"If women want equal voting rights to men, then they need to be equally scrutinized for what they say."

No longer a want. Women have that. Not all women desire it, but that's something else also shared with men, just as their comments [by your perspective] reflect.

“You will hate the Democrat…”
Wrong. I’m an Indie and have voted for Dems. I once volunteered in Bobby Kennedy’s presidential campaign and was at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. when he was assassinated. You don’t know me, Bobo.

I ignored no science. It’s just fact that guns are used more as weapons than are guns. I’m merely suggesting a spoon can be a weapon and that banning guns will do nothing to stop one from killing another if it is their desire to do so.

I suggest you research Old Testament command to love God and love of neighbor. Test them separately as advised in N.T.

I do not agree that pagans and polytheists necessarily belong in the same group simply because, as a Christian, I worship God, the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, whom I believe are separate, distinct, and variable in function as Gods who are, weigh the exception of the Holy Spirit, are physical, perfect beings. The Holy Spirit is also perfect, just not a physical being.

fauxlaw

Considering that a spoon can kill, used for that purpose, the problem is people, not the tool. The tool [gun or knife, or...] harms no one on its own. There must be a hand and a brain for use of any tool to cause harm.

As an experiment, I've engaged the offensive comment restriction just to see how it might affect my debate with RationalTheist, "Resolved: This house would legalize prostitution in the United States" because my R1 argument may ride on the rough edge. Nope, still clean, because I attempted merely innuendo. However, I note the post #4 by MikeLifts has been tagged, and I see there is an option to view it, which I guess is a temporary override without changing the profile setting.

Wrong. You are ignoring that the E.C. is a separate voting group than the public. There are 538 E.C. electors, and they all voted in 2024, and each vote counted equally. They are who directly elect a president, according to the Constitution, reference already noted, and which you may claim to have read, but do not get it, yet. Our vote by the public elects who those electors will be, State by State. That is also in the Constitution.

By contrast, there were, by election day of 2024, roughly 244M eligible voters. Of them, about 73.6% were registered to vote in the 2024 election, or about 180M. Of that 180M, only 152M voted for president in 2024, about 84%, higher than typical, but still representing only 62% of eligible voters. That is dsffinitively not equal, as you say, but, again, we, the voting public, do not directly vote for presidents, but for the electors, even though the candidate names are on the ballot.
