POPSScience confirms it: driving a Porsche really does make you more of a man A creative and elegant study has found that for men, driving a Porsche (and presumably other high-end, powerful vehicles) increases your testosterone levels, even -- and here's the kicker -- if no one ever sees you drive it. That means it's hard-wired, not just a "social construct." (That's what this author says, anyhow, though it's not obvious to me that that's the only explanation.) The post then goes on to say, interestingly, that this is going to be a big problem for auto designers of the future who want to be environmentally responsible, because, presumably, environmentally responsible cars aren't sexy. They'll have to "figure out how to make hybrid and electric cars cool." As in, like, raise-your-testosterone-level cool. My question is, why? Is the post implying that if electric cars don't get sexier, then we'll just continue to destroy the environment? Are those really the only two options?

POPSImportant Points You Should Known Beforehand Important Points You should known beforehand - You should be known about the processing charges. You should ask for zero processing fees and zero-penalty for pre-payment. Instead of this a lower cost would be better. Calculate the total costs you are going to pay. So, even though interest rates are lower extra fee can be expensive. For more info visit -http://www.ukfinanceworld.co.uk/important-points-you-should-known-beforehand.html

POPSAre Americans a Broken People? Does knowing the truth of their abuse set people free when they are deep in these abuse syndromes? Has such a demoralization happened in the U.S.?Do some totalitarians actually want us to hear how we have been screwed because they know that humiliating passivity in the face of obvious oppression will demoralize us even further? What forces have created a demoralized, passive, dis-couraged U.S. population? Schools and Universities: Mental Health Institutions: Television: Commericalism of Damn Near Everything: Can anything be done to turn this around?

POPSWhy We Walk The Rare Dog with an iPhone Pet owners are more "conscientious" than regular humans and broadcast the fact in order to entice mates. The rarer the breed and the more care that is required the higher the signal for conscientiousness. Just one of many excellent insights that demosntrate it is all for the sake of mating.

POPSBarbara Ehrenreich: Our Maniacal Optimism Is Ruining the World Realists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose by the moronic, Panglossian smile off the optimist's face, and the dour, everything-sucks, soul-sucking eyore-ism of the pessimists. I particularly like Ehrenreich's take on why the poor should feel guilty for their poverty. More Ayn Randian bullshit , and she's right to call it bullshit.

POPSWhy "trash the dress" pisses me off I'll be getting in touch with Jireh Women to find out how I can donate my wedding dress to them. I don't intend to ever wear it again, and I'd love to know that a woman who never thought she'd be a bride can look and feel more beautiful on her wedding day.

POPSShallow Shouting from The Left "In a society that broke, on behalf of merit, the seemingly eternal chains of station by birth, they cry 'injustice.' In the names of fantasy worlds and mystical perfections, they have closed themselves to the Western, liberal miracle of individual rights, individual responsibility, merit, and human satisfaction. Like Marx, they put words like 'liberty' in quotation marks when these refer to the West…."

POPSLow Self-Esteem & Materialism Goes Hand in Hand In the book “Happiness: Lessons From a New Science”, Richard Layard exposes a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most of us want more income so we can consume more. Yet as societies become richer, they do not become happier. In fact, the First World has more depression, more alcoholism and more crime than fifty years ago. This paradox is true of Britain, the United States, continental Europe and Japan.
