I'm British. From my experience of both Mississippi and Sweden, if I had a job I know I'd much rather be living in the former, where everything is so much cheaper and easier.  
 
In the US there is the fear of being sick or injured, and the crushing medical system. In Sweden everything feels constrained and oppressive, making their "This is the freedom of Sweden!" claims a bad joke.

I'll keep an open mind to the possible CMV / hypertension link and see how it progresses.  
 
If a vaccine against CMV really results in lower blood pressure I'll be first in line. 
 
Till then I'm not setting my hopes too high.

IQ has a lot to do with environment and education. 
China has a history of rapid economic expansion followed by collapse.

Since this is suppossed to be a scientific site;I just like to point out that a 1000 odd people die each year in Britain due to road accidents,800 are murdered (usually by some one they know etc),5000 due to prescribed drugs ,50 odd in police custardy etc.We free thinking people should not play the political game,be it Christian or Islamic nationalism.The real threat is if some General hands over nuclear weapons to these groups,assuming that is technically possible.

Another example european historians writing history to fit their view of the world.There is not a shredd of evidence that early steppe cultures have anything do to with IE.

I heard George W Bush was 5'11".

If women prefer large men why aren't all the hollywood heart throbs fomer linemen?

In australia, there is this sport called Aussie Rules. The players average 6'1" 185lbs, women love watching this game, i think that women like guys a bit above average height with lean athletic builds.

I read taht most american women prefer men to be between 6' and 6'2".

Some survery found that when men where asked about how much muscle they'd ideally have, they picked to be 30lbs heavier then most women found ideally attractive.

Most bachelors have blue eyes? Maybe the Bachelorettes father had blue eyes, ppl tend to be attracted to the eye color of their opposite sex parent.
