Being a Wikipedia scientist does not give you the right to call yourself a quantum physicist. Get your head out your ass.
nigga fuck wikipedia i read Fermis original notebooks (well copies obviously) for my info along with about a dozen other text books in various feilds of mathematics, physics and other sciences. While I may not have a formal education I do derive my knowledge in a formal way. Wikipedia is an incredibly inaccurate informal joke of a resource. Sure it can spark interests but its hardly a viable reference by any standard. Now bitch go make me a sandwich, extra pickles please. -

It doesn't help that in Dutch you pronounce 'ie' as e and 'ei' as i.
wtf is up with Dutch names, anyway?
My first wife, who is the mother of my two oldest kids, is 50% Dutch (her father's side of her family is 100% Dutch), and nearly all of the women in her family who were born in the Netherlands had weird, unpronounceable names that ended in "-je", like Kaaptje, and shit like that. Seriously, what kind of fucked up language is that? -

'Kaaptje' is not a name. Kaatje maybe derived from Katrien or Kateriene which is dutch for Catherine. -je in dutch is to signify something is small or it can be added to a name as a form of endearment it can also be used to insult someone, a little man is not a 'man' but a 'mannetje' . If you have a child who's name is Piet you can signify the child is small by adding -je Piet becomes Pietje. Especially in the North it's common to add -je to a name proper especially for girls because adding -je also serves to transform traditionally more male names to female names.
Treintje
Marietje
Maartje
etc.
Dutch can be complicated. -

So -je is a Dutch diminutive suffix similar to the English diminutive suffix -kin that often appears at then end of surnames like Hopkins, Tompkins or Jenkins. I guess that makes sense. My ex-wife's family weree mostly from Groningen. -

Ah yes that's the term, diminitive suffix. Well there you have it, Groningen is about as northern as you can get without going island hopping. -

Hmm, yes, though if I had ever looked up it's geographic position, I had long since forgotten where Groningen was on the map.
Do the Dutch hold varying opinions of people from different provinces of the Netherlands trhe way Americans do about people from different parts of the U.S.? -

In the U.S. (particularly here in the South) there are different types of city and country folk. Some are gracious and hospitable, others are defensive and distrusting. I've seen both types in the city and in the country, a lot of it has to do with individual personality and the circumstances in which those individuals grew up and live in. -

Indeed it does, but people like to think in generalities more often than not. -

From the viewpoint of anthropologists, cultures of honour typically appear among nomadic peoples and among herdsmen who carry their most valuable property with them and risk having it stolen, without having recourse to law enforcement or to government. In this situation, inspiring fear forms a better strategy than promoting friendship; and cultivating a reputation for swift and disproportionate revenge increases the safety of one's person and property. Thinkers ranging from Montesquieu to Steven Pinker have remarked upon the mindset needed for a culture of honour.
According to Richard Nisbett, cultures of honour will often arise when three conditions[9] exist:
- a scarcity of resources
- situations in which the benefit of theft and crime outweighs the risks
- a lack of sufficient law-enforcement (such as in geographically remote regions)
Once a culture of honour exists in a society, its members find it difficult to make the transition to a culture of law; this requires that people become willing to back down and refuse to immediately retaliate, and from the viewpoint of the culture of honour, this tends to appear as an unwise act reflecting weakness.

It's a frame of reference.
Life taught me that Universities are more interested in disseminating propaganda with a socio-political agenda than they are concerned with teaching facts. -
