Is the US next to fall in line?

Top lawyers have written guidelines for British solicitors on drafting 'sharia-compliant' wills which can deny women an equal share of their inheritance and entirely exclude non-believers, it was revealed today.


The Law Society, which represents solicitors in England and Wales, has written a guide on Sharia succession rules that will be used in British courts. It will mean that children born outside of marriage and adopted children could also be denied their fair share.

The guide states: 'No distinction is made between children of different marriages, but illegitimate and adopted children are not Sharia heirs.

Sorry double entry.

AuntiE,

I am pretty sure that this is the study that he was quoting from:

Upon digging I found this:

Only the last link discuss how many people were in the study, and it does not address the specific portions of the brain.

In links 1 and 2 you can click the tabs for additional information. Hope this helps.

Mr Glaucon,

That post was intended for Boofhead. Sorry, did I inadvertently hit your name instead. My apologies.

Sadly, but the projections for next year's increases is significantly larger than this year. It seems that they underestimated costs and will do a "leveling" to adjust for shortfalls. My great-aunt, she is in her 90s, her cost for Medicare went up 300 percent for this year, and they expect a similar increase next year.

You have posted 205 comments on various threads, many of them are excellent and some are exceptional. You appear to be well educated, articulate, and civil. Why would you want to destroy all the positive impressions by posting something so uncharacteristically cynical? Just asking.

Dude! Don't undersell yourself. You have real charm! That is why I am drawn to you!

There are other reasons that this portion of the brain is larger and not all of them bad. For example, this gland in castrated men is 30 percent smaller. It is not only associated with pleasure of sexual activity but is also associated with long term memory, or the activity referred to as memory consolidation which happens prior to an activity becoming "learned." Consensus of data shows the amygdala has a substantial role in mental states, and is related to many psychological disorders. In a 2003 study, subjects with Borderline Personality Disorder showed significantly greater left amygdala activity than normal control subjects. Some borderline patients even had difficulties classifying neutral faces or saw them as threatening. In 2006, researchers observed hyperactivity in the amygdala when patients were shown threatening faces or confronted with frightening situations. Patients with more severe social phobia showed a correlation with increased response in the amygdala. Similarly, depressed patients showed exaggerated left amygdala activity when interpreting emotions for all faces, and especially for fearful faces. Interestingly, this hyperactivity was normalized when patients went on antidepressants. By contrast, the amygdala has been observed to relate differently in people with Bipolar Disorder. A 2003 study found that adult and adolescent bipolar patients tended to have considerably smaller amygdala volumes and somewhat smaller hippocampal volumes. Many studies have focused on the connections between the amygdala and autism.

Yes I would, as a matter of fact, the questions the teacher asked would stump some!

Man, and here I though that I impressed you with my wit and intelligence; now I find I only impress you with my charm and good looks! :lol:

Talk

I will, and thank you!

Thank you. You are most kind.
