His wife and his doctors said he seemed aware at times that technical flaws had crept into his work, but he could not figure out how to correct them.\n\n> “The spatial sense kept slipping, and I think he knew,” Professor Utermohlen said. A psychoanalyst wrote that the paintings depicted sadness, anxiety, resignation and feelings of feebleness and shame.\n\n> “Alzheimer’s affects the right parietal lobe in particular, which is important for visualizing something internally and then putting it onto a canvas,” Dr. Miller said. “The art becomes more abstract, the images are blurrier and vague, more surrealistic. Sometimes there’s use of beautiful, subtle color.”\n\n> Mr. Utermohlen, 73, is now in a nursing home. He no longer paints. [He passed away in 2007](https://www.williamutermohlen.org/index.php/artwork/15-about)\n\n> His work has been exhibited in several cities, and more shows are planned. The interest in his paintings as a chronicle of illness is bittersweet, his wife said, because it has outstripped the recognition he received even at the height of his career.\n\n> “He’s always been an outsider,” she said. “He was never quite in the same time slot with what was going on.

If men signed up for the programs at the same rate as previous decades, your program wouldnt be overwhelmingly women. \n\n>Or even earlier than that. The “anti-school, anti-education sentiment” in boys has roots in kindergarten, when they’re slower to learn to read than girls, said Jim Shelley, the manager of the Men’s Resource Center at Lakeland Community College in Ohio.

Some of them will train hard every day, plan their every activity around running. Some won't, train when they feel like it, and still have better results.\n\nYes, obviously, genetics has a role in everything. Physical sports and chess are not different. That does not necessarily mean that women are worse at chess and always be that way. Perhaps in the future, with slightly different cultures and expectations, women will preform equally well or better than men in chess. Because this is not generally the case right now, there is nothing wrong with helping women getting into chess at the price of \"equality\" ", "Nah, see", "Judit Polgar's peak rating was 2735, the 8th best player in the world at the time. Something _very_ few humans can dream of. And what seems key is that she spent as much time as possible playing the elite, which entailed declining participation in women's-specific tournaments or divisions.\n\nSince the number of women who has followed this route is just about 1, when you compare it to the talent pool we draw male candidates from, the only defensible conclusion is that women seem to be killing it (but it's too early to tell).", "Definitely get the help man", "How is it legal to name your kid Nazi", "USA! USA!", "Males and females aren't really equal. It's probably more accurate to say they're mostly equivalent. Like a square and a circle can be equivalent if they have the same area, but they aren't equal. \nAlthough the average male and female brains are more similar than different there still remains noticeable differences. Males on average consistently score much higher on spatial intelligence tests too, which would have obvious benefits in chess. And their IQ Bell Curve is flatter, which means more males populate the ends of the intelligence spectrum. \nBut we're living in a cultural and intellectual Dark Age so even saying these things is almost a thoughtcrime.

There's a much larger, more deeply entrenched part of the culture still calling that \"man's work\" and shoving Barbie dolls in their hands. It's the same reason we're still dealing with racism. These are things that are deeply entrenched will take generations to change.", "What if culture is a reflection of our biology?", "It's a factor, certainly. However, a small one. Look at how quickly (relatively speaking) cultures have changed compared to our biology. The obsity epidemic is considerably due to our bodies evolving to crave sugar because it was to hard to find, and our culture developing the ability to produce it easily faster than our biology changed the craving (and countless other factors (sedentary lifestyles, \"desk jobs\" replacing farm work, etc certera), but that's a major, underlying cause). \n\nThere are differences between men and women. Considerable ones. No one is saying there aren't. However, our societies pile on a ton and a half of artificial differences that shouldn't be there and hold us all back. If we are really looking for the \"best and brightest\" to lead us into the future, then we should not be looking at half (or less) of the population for that.

This is a being that could break your neck with little effort. This is not someone I would ride in a car with, this is not someone I would even want to be in the same room as myself.\n\n\nAnd then I look back to Mike, and it makes sense. The look of inviting? He isn't inviting me into the car, but he is asking a question. What is that question, you ask? A simple one, one that only has a single word. *Help?* Mike is not in the car willingly; Mike is in the car because fleeing would only end with Sulley crushing his skull like an empty soda can. The oddity that is the briefcase then starts to make sense. Maybe Mike was on a business trip, and was noticed by Sulley. Mike can talk to people, Mike can make people comfortable. Mike would have been easy for Sulley to abduct. Sulley, the monster that he is, can't find it in himself to fake emotions, and so he relies on Mike to lure his victims into the car. The most Sulley can do to make himself seem normal is to bare his teeth in a menacing grin, instilling a sense of fear rather than calm.\n\n\nThis is a car ride I would pass on, but I would write down the license plate so I could call the cops.

Very noninterventionist just pray for them an hope things work out but otherwise things are ok, don't hear much about it on the news\n\n-9/11 happens - suddenly news networks are calling out islam and saying muslims are evil, my family and friends get called names and shit for no reason, I'm confused at this point since the things they say don't line up with what I've learnt in islamic school - sure there's heroic tales of the prophet and his battles like (literally ) 300 but they're just stories to say oh look these people were so heroic - I' say that's probably the same way people feel about family that has fought in wars in the last century. It's interesting and impressive an you respect them but that doesn't make you a crazy warlord. \n\n- BUt suddenly I'm being told by the media that's what I'm supposed to believe in, they speak of the war agaisnt terror but it's basically turned into a war against islam\n\n- Muslim people are annoyed - they don't believe in what the media tells them and they see the actions of the western forces as being money grabbing - an excuse to get oil and fund the war machine. \n\n- There is then eventually the kickback of muslims pushing for Political correctness - separate islam and radical islam but in the back of their minds they still have the notion that America is going through the middle east for monetary purposes. Causing shit when it shouldn't be. \n\n- In today's times you got your facebook articles that now show some of the more questionable stuff that AMerica has one- arming militant groups, leaving behind weapons with groups that then become islamist, fake reporting on WMDs. For the most part though I believe muslims are aware of the medias campaign and that there is no war against Islam. They're understand the lack of nuance and try and live with it cause they expect discrimination - heck actually *we* expect discrimination - just because I look like a muslim dude I've gotten shit. \n\nThe result is muslims are annoyed that they get painted that way particularly in the west. It doesn't help that anti-immigrant and hence anti-cultural stances start cropping up. Immigrants close their ranks and are now more likely to be radicalised. They carry those \"beleifs\" they had from school in third world countries - they won't necessarily act on them- but now segregating them means they're less likely to have their ideas challenged. I'm ex-muslim but I see Islam as an unremarkable religion that has been demonised to the point that people close ranks and don't challenge what they're told (which is bad because you have a large portion of muslims living in war torn, third world countries). Added bonus found [this article (http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/26/us/pew-muslim-american-survey/index.html) that shows there's a definite trend towards muslims being more liberal in their viewpoint. The point though is socio-econonic factors tend to be ignored in blanket polls. Even if you say look at the stats in Africa - I live in South Arica and the muslim community hear is pretty conservative in that they pray a lot and stick to those funamentals and I'd say their views towards homosexuality are still not the best but even then they're not the ones that will blow up shit or go fight holy wars. \n\nI think the justification of my view of the role in media i all this is also evident in the people that convert TO islam from first world countries and then go join ISIS. They're viewing islam externally and get drilled into their heads that this is how they should think of it. The ISIS peeps capitalise on that online an get them to join. Like I'm exmuslim an I left for my disagreement with religion but to say Islam is remarkably good/bad is incorrect. It's a shitty religion like the rest of them and people get used for political gains when they're too gullible.

He was saying that he was there to fulfill the text but he also changed a lot of it. It's why he was killed by the Jews in the first place. For instance, he stated that on the sabbath work isn't sinful.\n\nIt is frequently argued that if Jesus did not “abolish” the law, then it must still be binding. Accordingly, such components as the Sabbath-day requirement must be operative still, along with perhaps numerous other elements of the Mosaic Law. This assumption is grounded in a misunderstanding of the words and intent of this passage. Christ did not suggest here that the binding nature of the law of Moses would remain forever in effect. Such a view would contradict everything we learn from the balance of the New Testament (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15).\n\nOf special significance in this study is the word rendered “abolish.” It translates the Greek term kataluo, literally meaning “to loosen down.” The word is found seventeen times in the New Testament. It is used, for example, of the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Romans (Matthew 26:61; 27:40; Acts 6:14), and of the dissolving of the human body at death (2 Corinthians 5:1). The term can carry the extended meaning of “to overthrow,” i.e., “to render vain, deprive of success.” In classical Greek, it was used in connection with institutions, laws, etc., to convey the idea of “to invalidate.”", "Radical Christianity would be hippies, that’s taking Jesus’s message to the extreme, he was a pacifist.\n\nMohammed was a warlord.

The historian Brunschvig states that from a spiritual perspective, \"the slave has the same value as the free man, and the same eternity is in store for his soul; in this earthly life, failing emancipation, there remains the fact of his inferior status, to which he must piously resign himself.\"[5][25]\n\nEven though this is a pretty good deal for a slave, I agree that this is fucked up. But there are other interpretations.\n\nW.G. Clarence-Smith has highlighted the point of view of Ghulam Ahmed Pervez on this issue, who argued that the term is used in the past-tense in the Quran, thus signalling only those individuals who were already enslaved at the dawn of Islam. This slight change in tense is significant, as it allowed G.A. Parwez to argue that slavery was never compatible with the commandments of the Quran and is in fact outlawed by Quranic Law.[24]\n\nSo at the end, like most things in religion, interpretation is everything. Unfortunately people are fucking assholes and the reality diverged heavily from this but that’s not the religion at fault there, it’s the people ignoring it.", "Never.

America was outta there, the leaders said that the fight was over, Bin Laden was killed, and by law once a surrender or a treaty or whatever was made that the war had no reason to continue, Jihad was to halt.

So Allah ordered: \n\n>\"And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you.....(V.2:190). \n\n>Then Allah revealed in Surat Al-Tawbah (Bara 'ah) (Repentance, IX) the order to discard (all) the obligations (covenants, etc.) and **commanded the Muslims to fight against all the Mushrikeen as well as against the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) if they do not embrace Islam, till they pay the Jizyah (a tax levied on the non-Muslims who do not embrace Islam and are under the protection of an Islamic government) with willing submission and feel themselves subdued** (as it is revealed in the Verse 9:29).\n\n >So Muslims were not permitted to abandon \"the fighting\" against them (Pagans, Jews and Christians) and to reconcile with them and to suspend hostilities against them for an unlimited period while they are strong and are able to fight against them (non Muslims). As it is now obvious, **at first \"the fighting\" was forbidden, then it was permitted and after that it was made obligatory— (1) against them who start \"the fighting\" against you (Muslims)... (2) and against all those who worship others along with Allah**... as mentioned in Surat Al-Baqarah (II), Al-Imrân (III) and Al-Taubah (IX)... and other Surahs (Chapters of the Qur’an).\n\n>Allah made the fighting (Jihad) obligatory for the Muslims and gave importance to the subject-matter of Jihad in all the Surah (Chapters of the Qur’an) which were revealed (at Al-Madinah) as in Allah's Statement:\n\n>\"March forth whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), and strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah. This is better for you if you but knew.\" (V.9:41). \n\n>And He (Allah) said: \"Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.\" (V.2:216) \n\n>Fighting, even though by its nature is disliked by the human soul because of the liability, of being killed, or being taken as a captive, or being injured, with the wasting of the wealth, the damage to the industries the destruction of the country, the spreading of fear and awe in the souls and the (possibility) of being exiled from one's homeland, Allah had made ready an- immensely good reward that cannot be imagined by a human soul.\n\n\nYes, Shekh Abdullah, son of the Grand Mufti, and the Saudi Ulema all agreed that the Quran teaches perpetual warfare against all non believers.

However, these are primarily things that are required to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens - i.e. Police, military, court systems, etc. I refer to the current income tax system as theft because the government has taken on so many other roles and programs that entitlements now make up something like 2/3rds of all federal spending, and the things you are referring to (which are required for a flourishing and functional society) are very small expenditures in comparison. As a result, the actual benefit that each citizen receives in return from their investment in government via taxes is WILDLY uneven - a huge number of people (including middle class citizens that aren't even living very comfortably) are paying for substantially more services than they are actually using, which in my view is immoral.
