Nature/Nurture Debate Still Rages
1. Is homosexuality a genetic trait like gender or race?
2. Can crimonality be traced to a chromozone?
3. Are male brains wired to compute mathmatics more effeciantly than womens'?
4. "If a man and a woman were dropped on the middle of two seperate islands with nothing else to survive but their instincts, wouldn't he kill to live and the woman die?" Spoken with pure authority and conviction.
Answer: "What?!?! Haven't you ever seen Survivor?!?" Asked incredulously.
Rebuttal: "That's a TV show!" Now shouting: "You can't tell me a man couldn't hunt a deer down and skin it--"
The class is roaring; two men sqirm and say that's nasty; one woman hunts with her grandmother--
Me? I watch the clock and wonder what answer they will give when I ask next week on the exam, how epistemology factors into his next rebuttal about the "Cavemen who had instincts to kill, kill, kill."

4. The guy is more likely to die because he'll be overly bold and rush , whereas the woman is more likely to analyze the situation more fully and therefore make better decisions.
But what do I know? It's more about the discussion than the answer.
Why wouldn't they work together? Or did I miss something? Even if they are on seperate Islands that doesn't mean there isn't a boat, submarine, or sailing vessel near by. Haven't you seen Lost?
oops! I had the impression they were on separate islands!
