Yes, in the sense that everything we involve ourselves with does. How is that related to the point I was replying to?

I don't know you well enough to evaluate you for any of those, other than "bad speller", and you're not that.

Christ Slave, please hurry up and fail to deal with my earlier point so that this diatribe can come to a conclusion.

How come people will post their current age here, but not fill in the birthday part on their profiles?

A sharpened penguin is actually quite dangerous, as are frozen penguins when propelled at high velocity.

Think about that - if it were true, how would anyone know about it? I for one have the "wake on impact" experience quite frequently, and I can assure you I am I quite alive.

Google for ALICE BOT. You'll find links to similar projects on that web site.

"Outer space" refers to everything outside the fringes of the Solar system. So are you using the term in a different way to the rest of the scientific community, or is the space within the Solar system (termed 'inner space') special?

In much the same way, in fact, that our glorious leaders destroyed the world by pressing their own red buttons [acr=Mutually Assured Destruction]MAD[/acr] deterrents work. No it isn't. At worst it's a thread of variable usefulness.

Voted NO - it is representative of biodiversity we can neither afford to lose nor easily replace.

Well, when I say "complaining" I'm not actually including "whining about things one arbitrarily chooses not to like because one is a bored hippy who needs something to do" in there. Yes, that comes up all the time. It usually gets successfully refuted by proper scientists.

It seems that by classifying the torture as "environment" (which it isn't, in terms of how nurture/nature inter-relate) you are basically saying "different torture = different results". Which is (a) hardly revolutionary thinking, and (b) tells you nothing about genetic involvement.

I think the lack of commuter routes to the moon is a pretty good indicator as to why there are no third party snaps out there. Search this very site for lunar conspiracy threads - there are a couple of quite long ones.

I think we should go for reducing girth first, to be honest.

Does your opinion include "special exceptions" for genetically-rooted conditions that impair the faculties of the brain, such as Down's Syndrome?

The other thread sort of wandered off-topic so I was just posting it for reference really. By all means, carry on.

Isn't the point of competitive sports to establish which sportsperson (or team) is the most naturally capable? If everyone is going to be physically the same to start with, whether through careful player selection or being "topped up" with supplements, what's the point?

Correlation != causation. You might just be dumb

I don't know what those first two options are.

And?

I really hope that was deliberate.

I would have thought they both get involved, dependent on the magnitude of the suspected crimes.

It's not a matter of abstract definition though is it? It's a matter of clarifying whether potential "them and us" attitudes are being brought into a thread that could explode at the drop of a hat. But anyway, thanks for the answer.

I once dreamed I was kicking Charlie Chaplin in the face because he stole my pizza.
