         In the article "<a href="http://www.omninerd.com/articles/China_and_Russia_Openly_Accused_of_Industrial_Espionage">China and Russia Openly Accused of Industrial Espionage</a>," EyeOfSage wrote:<br/><p>This is interesting because just the other day, I saw the <span class="caps">NYT</span> article on Obama&#8217;s meeting with Chinese leaders. And Obama and Asian Leaders confront China’s Premier. Leaving the Chinese scratching their head, wondering if all that hollering are the real American intent or just Campaign scapegoat tactic followed by a bunch of copy-cat monkeys. I&#8217;m not sure if that&#8217;s the kind of reputation we want foreign nations to see, a country whose future leaders needs to act &#8220;big and tough&#8221; to impress the public. In fact, isn&#8217;t this the same tactic North Koreans use? They say all this crap about America and start shooting into the seas and yells this and screams that but nothing happened. I find it frustrating and irritating people are proud of American leaders acting in such immature ways. Also on a side note, we all know honest to God, why Obama must bring up human rights issue and criticize other nations, particularly China.</p>This comment  continues, read the rest on <a href="http://www.omninerd.com/articles/34578">OmniNerd</a>.<br/>

<p>While I do agree low income and crime rate seem to correlate, I must point out low income petty crimes are partially motivated by necessity while petty crimes committed by middle and high income family youth seems to be mostly motivated out of boredom and a lack of proper understanding and responsibility as well as poorly taught ethics.</p>
<p>I do believe our education system, k-12, is inadequate in teaching responsibility, ethics, and keeping the students busy. I do not believe half the teacher currently employed are capable of teaching our future bright young minds. Ethics are not taught in most public institutions for k-12. And high school teachers are half the time, really poor examples of what a responsible adult should be like.

<p>That is not decisive reasoning to assume Jainism is a more benign religion compared to Buddhism.</p>
<p>1. As stated before, their size difference makes them impossible to compare on a equal level.

I see no difference between the Jainism&#8217;s policy in self defense/justified violence and any other religion in comparison, therefore, the discrepancy is not a result of Jainism being a more benign religion, but rather a result of external factors.
For example, if Jainism was a more &#8216;popular&#8217; religion, you would see something on the news now and then. The lack of violent example in this case is then perhaps due to their smaller number, relatively speaking.This comment  continues, read the rest on <a href="http://www.omninerd.com/articles/34098">OmniNerd</a>.<br/>

         <description>
         <p>Richard Ambron from Columbia University in New York City and his colleagues have discovered an <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,205994,00.html">&#8216;on/off&#8217; switch</a> for <a href="http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/chronic_pain/chronic_pain.htm">chronic pain</a>. According to Ambron, &#8216;What happens in a chronic pain state is that the neurons become hyper-excitable. That is, rather than remaining rather dormant and unresponsive, they begin to fire in response to very, very mild stimuli. So we were interested in what is it that causes this hyper-excitability.&#8217; The cause appears to be the malfunctioning of an enzyme called protein kinase G, or <span class="caps">PKG</span>. In instances of chronic pain when <span class="caps">PKG</span> is &#8216;on,&#8217; neurons continue to send pain signals even after the injury that caused the pain is healed. Although <a href="http://foxnews.webmd.com/content/pages/3/1832_50234.htm?src=rss_foxnews">medications</a> and cures exist for chronic pain, they are neither effective nor pleasant in some cases. The discovery of this <a href="http://www.forbes.com/forbeslife/health/feeds/hscout/2006/07/28/hscout533950.html">switch</a> gives hope for an improved <a href="http://www.voanews.com/english/AmericanLife/2006-07-28-voa50.cfm">treatment</a>.</p>
