Aren't you pleased you managed to catch both the point and the tone of the articles? The internet can occasionally be a boost to one's self-confidence.


Yes, it is a real pleasure sometimes like that.

I've seen Start Trek, I know the real threat is you killing whales. snoopcester - 19/08/2011 10:34:08 AM 758 Views

It's the other other white meat. Joel - 19/08/2011 07:13:19 PM 704 Views
There's so much wrong with that Isaac - 19/08/2011 01:08:57 PM 739 Views

It's still debatable whether we've abandoned the evolutionary ladder. Joel - 19/08/2011 11:16:58 PM 853 Views
You'll welcome to debate that with a biologist, it's not my specialty or interest Isaac - 20/08/2011 04:46:43 AM 808 Views
I've seen a lot of mainstream biologists suggest human evolution may be mostly mental now. Joel - 21/08/2011 11:32:48 AM 825 Views
Neither of us are biologists though and it's not really relveant anyway Isaac - 21/08/2011 01:21:06 PM 797 Views
I'm not ignoring it, just wondering why over half the planet ignores it and lives in misery. Joel - 21/08/2011 01:55:53 PM 771 Views
If you have occassion to spend time in those places you'll know why Isaac - 21/08/2011 02:38:44 PM 689 Views
How does literal mud huts as the norm respresent living standards rising "a lot". Joel - 22/08/2011 12:29:35 AM 869 Views
You seem to have cherry-picked what you wanted to hear out of my comments Isaac - 22/08/2011 01:07:10 AM 574 Views
"It's a stability thing, not a Western greed thing" seemed to encapsulate your comments. Joel - 22/08/2011 03:10:17 PM 712 Views
Only if you really cherry pick them Isaac - 23/08/2011 02:48:08 AM 726 Views
This seems to have descended into an insoluble partisan debate. Joel - 23/08/2011 07:43:07 PM 791 Views
You're the one who dragged it to that Isaac - 23/08/2011 08:10:03 PM 706 Views
Did I? Joel - 25/08/2011 10:18:29 PM 733 Views

American companies don't go to China SOLELY to screw the working class, no;that's largely incidental Joel - 25/08/2011 08:03:05 PM 848 Views
we should abdon the myth of the evolutionary ladder random thoughts - 20/08/2011 11:49:35 PM 619 Views
Probably; as discussed in Brams thread it should never be seen as predictive, let alone prophetic. Joel - 21/08/2011 11:55:09 AM 727 Views
Well, for this context I think the use is okay Isaac - 21/08/2011 11:59:19 AM 721 Views
That's an interesting point about the NEED for fossil fuels as a stepping stone to advanced culture. Joel - 21/08/2011 12:33:59 PM 804 Views
Not a need, just an edge Isaac - 21/08/2011 02:06:23 PM 618 Views
There's industrialization and then there's industrialization. Joel - 22/08/2011 12:53:35 AM 971 Views
If you were more familiar with engineering you'd not say something like that Isaac - 22/08/2011 01:53:33 AM 1002 Views
I dispute that industrialization is primarily about non-agricultural production. Joel - 22/08/2011 03:10:19 PM 916 Views
Well you can argue that with a dictionary I suppose Isaac - 23/08/2011 03:50:52 AM 728 Views
I'm not above that, but the dictionary definitions I've found are disappointingly self-referential. Joel - 24/08/2011 02:25:21 AM 679 Views
That tends to be the case, it is a kinda vague term outside of specific context Isaac - 24/08/2011 09:12:19 AM 835 Views
Tends to moot that part of the debate though. Joel - 26/08/2011 12:31:21 AM 976 Views

Re: Tends to moot that part of the debate though. Joel - 28/08/2011 09:44:52 AM 866 Views
yes I was just jumping into the middle of the discussion. random thoughts - 22/08/2011 03:03:49 PM 657 Views
and we wonder why so many people ignore "scientist" random thoughts - 19/08/2011 01:17:38 PM 746 Views
Think it's better to ignore "reporters on a slow news day," to be honest *NM* beetnemesis - 19/08/2011 02:38:23 PM 283 Views
Or even acquire a sense of humour. *NM* Camilla - 19/08/2011 08:36:07 PM 320 Views

Hypothetical aliens are perfectly wise aerocontrols - 19/08/2011 06:24:13 PM 649 Views
You may be confusing aliens with God. Joel - 19/08/2011 07:08:01 PM 689 Views
Not confused aerocontrols - 19/08/2011 11:41:56 PM 702 Views
It's a an amusing disconnect to watch. Joel - 20/08/2011 12:25:00 AM 707 Views
Naturally. Camilla - 19/08/2011 08:36:28 PM 786 Views
So, basically, we're the poor white trash of the universe. Joel - 19/08/2011 07:06:23 PM 746 Views
