    Default Re: Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature

    They start with a premise on why there are more Muslim suicide bombers (mostly single) than other religions - because they can't get laid or married. Add in the economic factor of wealthy vs. poor, and conclude these are the ultimate factors that create them. They do use the martyredom factor of 72 virgins as an incentive; while again ignoring economic circumstance - they receive monetary compensation for their family (when one exists in a futile environment with little hope, and one is offered a way to assist their family people will go to extremes to feed them). Further, they ignore the political factors and oversimply the sexual urges - making the sex drive of young men the primary reasoning for becoming humanbombs.

    Did take the time to read the whole thing. I'm sure the book has more detail, and no doubt explains the falacy of natural selection (though they did say tall men good, blonde women good, barby bodies good, etc). Tripe, conjecture and unwarrented supposition.

    Found the midlife crisis bit amusing though, especially the red car bit.

    edit for spelling only.
