POPSThe five deadliest viruses known to man (and machine) LoveLetter began appearing as a Valentine's-style message in e-mail inboxes all over the world in May 2000. The subject line was ILOVEYOU and the message read "kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me." Attached to the e-mail was a program which, when the recipient opened it, immediately forwarded the message on to everyone in their address book, gradually clogging the world's networks. LoveLetter was one of the largest "mass mailers", and also used social engineering - the tactic of exploiting human nature - to devastating effect, in this case by pulling on the recipient's heartstrings.

POPSTrawlermen Cling on as Oceans Empty of Fish - And the Ecosystem Is Gasping
I saw what the trawles and longliners did to the tuna fishery in Hawaii. It would, of course, be better for everyone if these unsustainable practices could be shut down gently without the need for a crisis or the loss of jobs, but this seems to be more than human nature can bear. The EU has a programme for taking fishing boats out of service - the tonnage of the European fleet has fallen by 5% since 1999 - but the decline in boats is too slow to overtake the decline in stocks. Every year the EU, like every other fishery authority, tries to accommodate its surplus boats by setting quotas higher than those proposed by its scientific advisers, and every year the population of several species is pressed a little closer to extinction. The fishermen make two demands, which are taken up by politicians in coastal regions all over the world: they must be allowed to destroy their own livelihoods, and the rest of us should pay for it.

POPSWhy Nice Guys Finish Last Too bad we didn't all know this in high school. Haha. Well I hope it helps out a lot of guys (and girls) out there! Nice guys rock! I don't totally agree with this article though it does make a valid point, I think it's just as much that many women aren't mature enough to appreciate a gentleman.

POPSAliens need Christ’s redemption, too With human nature as it can be, there will be a bloody war between the different religions as to who should be the ones to convert - these people who have a great enough understanding of science to be able to travel to Earth. To meet them we send the descendants of people unable to understand their existance without a bogey man.

POPSCan we change? I saw this article at PsychologyToday.com and found it very interesting. I'm convinced that major changes in personality are not possible, but I do believe some modification of our outlook and reactions is possible. What do you think?

POPSIsrael wants most fertile land and water in West Bank
What a surprise. Stealing. Always stealing. The cult started off stealing (just read your bible) and has been stealing and swindling ever since. They turn around and wonder why anyone in their right mind might not feel so good about the cult. Of course they know why people are piping mad, but they pretend to be dumb when it comes to human nature. They ration that in spite of treating Palestinians worse than Hitler treated Jews, that Palestinians should be in love with them. Most obvious is that they KNOW they live, breath and sleep on a bed of lies and the hope and pray the world believes their lies. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is that the State of israel is, in fact, one of the most cruel and barbaric regimes in the world today. That's the truth and no amount of their bullying and whining can change that fact. No amount of name-calling and invoke the the label of Nazi can change these facts. Israel is wrong and the world should recognize it openly and universa

POPSWhen That Good Night Falls, We Want Our Stars to Shimmer News of Senator Edward Kennedy's malignant brain tumor and its media coverage prompted these insights into the disadvantages of being a celebrity when tragedy strikes. "We have a strange kind of intimacy with celebrities. Once they reach a certain level of fame, we tend to believe that we are owed something...They pay for the adulation, the success, even the so-called free stuff with their privacy." "But when the news is especially harsh -- when the diagnosis is deadly -- we realize we don't want to know that much, after all. After getting a look at the tragic facts, we want a "luckiest man alive" speech. Celebrities are supposed to amuse, enlighten, appall and outrage. They can make us envious. But they are never supposed to make us cry." :(

POPSWho Is Really Responsible For the High Prices You Pay for Gasoline? When will the American people stand up and say enough!? Why weren't we insistent *before* we arrived at this point? So typical of human nature...let's just wait till things are really bad and then we *have* to do something. FTA: "It's wake-up time for America. Maybe we should investigate the blame-throwing investigators in Congress." And a more "blame-throwing" Congress I have never seen.
