Do you dispute that even theories in physics, electronics, biology, medicine, among others, have shifted over the course of the past two hundred years?

Hard science is differentiated from soft science in that hard science can be demonstrated in a laboratory. If somebody comes out and offers a theory in a hard science, and another party demonstrates that the theory is wrong, that's the end of the theory in hard science. That's not true with soft sciences. For example: If guy A says "put X and Y together and reaction Z will occur", and somebody puts X and Y together and gets Q, that's all she wrote.

2) What kind of research did you conduct to determine that "all" white, male students who took your old professor's course never earned anything higher than a 'B'?
How did you ascertain that she is upset at your current achievements?

I polled three years worth of her students within the department for a paper I wrote for another class. It worked out to a sample size of around 600 people total of both genders and all races. After I submitted the paper to her colleague, I gave her a copy and asked her if she had any comment, and she explained her policy to me. WRT her being upset, we met when she came to me in an official capacity trying to place interns.

3) How have the Russians turned their backs on "marxism" and, where exactly, has the world even come close to a marxist reality?

I rest my case.

4) Now what WMD's are you speaking about? That was a bizarre statement from you that prompted me to pose these questions. Before, I was just ignoring your statements as fact, that seemed to be based on ignorance and conjecture.
|
Did you read the entire CIA report that came out shortly before the election? It referenced a storage bunker of WMDs that remains under UN seal and that hasn't been dealt with because they don't know how to do it safely.

5) What do you mean (and I wonder if you just echoed lebell) by the fact that Ward Churchill is espousing ideas on the taxpayers "dime"?

Actually, I'm referring to things like the America-bashing speech he gave on campus that was broadcast on C-span last week. It was put on using University facilities, with campus police providing security, et cetera.
