  1. Objective? LOL! Yeah, let's see, are you saying that someone invents something but then doesn't protect it with a patent? LOL! Right. Or what do you suppose folks are filing patents for, bonehead? Other than inventions.

    Actually, Columbus was a Hebrew. Inquisition was taking roots, and his parents or grandparents converted to Christianity like many other Jews. Columbus kept a Hebrew calendar with him on his voyages and before he sailed for India, he wrote to the Spanish king that he's going to depart on the day of the official expulsion of Jews from Spain (Inquisition). This is relevant if we're talking about ethnicity than religion. So he might've been a Christian, but not Italian or British. He was a Hebrew.

    Speaking of right now, I think Israel is a leader in scientific papers written, per capita.

  6. Written by British people:

    It should be 100%. We let ourselves down ..embarrassing really.

    We're a disgrace. I'm going to change my nationality I'm that disappointed.

    baro-san, the data on the website which you have posted maybe wrong. Did Obama post that data on the website?

    Obama's economic and financial reports and data are manipulated or wrong.

  7. A 12 year old American girl had said "Obama is the only USA president who is not the king".

    British have king and royal family.

  10. Despite Israels growing R&D output they are lagging even proportionally in paper submission and this may even fall further given the present Israeli administrations spending priorities. They do not show up on Elseivers Scopus paper submission survey but according the Royal Society report 2011 they are in the top 10 of non US nations filling for US patents.
