How do you guys invest?
Could you elaborate on that? I found it to be a sensible post; especially in these times of large government deficits and wars in the ME, inflation can run high, and gold can serve as a hedge against that. I think it is in the medium to long term.- Pak Tani

...the less likely people are willing to read everything again to see if your edit was just a correction of a typo, an extra comma or an extra 6th or 7th paragraph to your already long epistle. Look, not everyone wants to read through your long posts multiple times just to figure out what...- Pak Tani

Small Alcohol Consumption May Cause Dementia Too
Some people want to be informed about the down sides of their guilty pleasure so they can take them into consideration. In this case, people who are worried about getting dementia may decide to drink less, and only drink alcohol whenever they really want to. People who are not worried about...- Pak Tani

Small Alcohol Consumption May Cause Dementia Too
The study claiming red wine in moderation is healthy is 35 years old and its findings are now generally agreed to be flawed. Maybe the whole study was flawed, based on wrong assumptions. Science is an ever evolving project; if the subject is interesting or important enough for you, you'll try...- Pak Tani

Small Alcohol Consumption May Cause Dementia Too
It is not so much about the subject itself, but about the way this thorough study is dismissed without sound arguments. Just because there are groups of people who grow older than average with less dementia doesn't disprove the findings of the research. It is an interesting observation, but some...- Pak Tani

Small Alcohol Consumption May Cause Dementia Too
Dude, what do you mean. Are you trying to refute the findings of the research conducted by these three universities? Or is there a genetic reason or perhaps a geo-locational or sociology-economic reason why these people are exceptions? If you have any research that supports your claim, please...- Pak Tani

Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?
There is a religion that teaches its followers to hate Jesus, that he was a liar, a sorcerer, and an adulterer, and that he will burn in excrement in hell. But I assume you know very well that this religion is not Islam, David. Islam teaches us that Jesus was a prophet and one of the best people...- Pak Tani

Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?
In Indonesian public schools there is almost no time spent on learning Arabic. It's the Pondok Pesantren where people go to learn about Islam besides the complete or partial national curriculum. Approximately 15% of school children go to these types of schools. Yes, they spend time there to...- Pak Tani

Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?
Looking at where the discussion is going, it would be interesting to get the actual numbers on these 'huge amounts of classroom hours' and the 'large chunks of the educational budget' spent on learning Arabic. Google wasn't very helpful to me, do you have any details on this?- Pak Tani
