Yep…high infant mortality did skew the “life expectancy” statistics.
Many people lived to at least their 60s even during medieval times. |

I’m not “offended” by Islam itself.
I’m offended by sects like the Taliban, who seek to deny women the benefit of education, and of being viable people in general.
Similar to how some Christian sects operate. |

Met my ex-fiancée at high school when I was 18, and a senior (I graduated on time, despite the age. I was born in January). Did terribly in high school u... |

| I’m a pretty boring guy to some women. That doesn’t matter to me, though….unless I’m boring to myself. I could have really gone far with a model-type woman who is a musical prodigy….but she found me too boring because I didn’t like to party. Still, I didn’t become a partier just to “keep” her. I stu... |

| I had very few friends, didn't really want more than one friend, had lots of trouble socially all through high school. Was bullied, the whole nine yards. But, slowly, I improved myself to the point where I'm pretty "passable" most of the time, though I sometimes have to reflect upon how I ... |

And Prussia has existed (as a full kingdom) since 1701. Prussia is a considerable portion of modern Germany.
Many German principalities/states have existed since at least medieval times. |

Many people with autism have the cognitive ability to improve from what they have been "given" by nature.
If I didn't set out to "improve," I probably would be in an institution at this point. |

My nose has stayed the same size through both gaining and losing weight.
Unless you have a schnozz like Jimmy Durante, I don't believe women really care too much about the size of a man's nose. |

Science is all about inquiry….not being stuck in absolutes.
Without science, we would still believe Ptolemy. We wouldn’t have had a Copernicus.
I believe a combination of hard science and anecdote is ideal. |
