Pee nuttiest

After traveling on trains, planes and buses and visiting many public facilities, I have noticed one thing...
Do you know the difference between the men and women's bathroom? The pee on the floor.

When you reach the bathroom you’re faced with two options: Do you try to stand and deliver without spraying everywhere? Or go for the unmanly butt-bow and pop a squat?

When you’re all finished, close the lid. This makes the flushing quieter and prevents the toilet from spritzing up bowl water—the sort of piss-and-fecal fountain that could contain E. coli.

Men Eat For Women

Most guys cram way more food in their mouths while dining with women than by themselves or with other men, according to a new study from Cornell University.

Sexual selection has been commonly considered by evolutionary psychologists interested in eating disorders among women; however, comparable attention has not been paid to problematic eating by men.

The time has come to end the harmful teachings by some religious denominations that being LGBT is bad, or whatever words they use to demean, call evil, and cause enormous pain to our youth. More and more people are changing their minds….from evangelicals to Presbyterians to Catholics to Conservative Jews. Our understanding of human sexuality, and the natural place of same-sex love in it, has evolved!

American Xenophobia?

Madness towards Mexicans and Muslims may lead to Facism. It would appear that our descent into irrationality has not yet hit its limit but getting close and it could have dangerous consequences.

The definition of XENOPHOBIA is fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign. How can this be when our country is all about the multicultural melting pot. The American story has in large part been written by intrepid souls fleeing persecution in search of a better life in a nation forged in liberty’s name and dedicated to the equality for all.

US is leaning on European and Arab allies to provide more troops and support for the war against the Islamic State group, hoping that the horror of the Paris attacks will compel them to get more deeply involved.

The administration sees as the beginnings of battlefield momentum in Iraq and Syria. It may also reflect a sense in the Pentagon that the campaign against the Islamic State group has advanced too slowly and requires more urgent and decisive military moves.

Faculty Workplace Engagement

Gallup and Inside Higher Ed collaborated to measure employee engagement among college and university faculty members using Gallup’s employee engagement, or Q12, items. Inside Higher Ed supplemented these items with questions measuring satisfaction with certain aspects of jobs that are unique to faculty members. Some of the questions the study addresses include:

How do employee engagement levels compare among tenured versus nontenured faculty, part-time versus full-time faculty members, professors at private nonprofit versus public institutions, and by other demographic groups?
