    Non of which work when someone is peer reviewing a study, and information that comes out later.

    You might want to look up how sciences works.
    After which you can explain to me how someone reading a paper wouldn't report plagiarism simply becasue some woman they have never met has there name on the paper.

    And you understanding of evolution, man, and women is extremely flawed.

    The problem is that people are suing terms like 'the bottom line is' when applying it to a papers and not a consensus of agreement.

    The media, once again, is trying to make scary and angry headlines our of an interesting study.

    "* 4. Why the fuck don't we test GMO crops for 20+ years before we start feeding them to people, and esp. children?"
    becasue that's a stupidly long time.

    If you think that should be the case, then you should be advocating that all food b tested becasue there is bacteria in the soil that does gene swapping between plants and animals.

    If we did that, mos people would die, but hey, whats a few billion death in the name of too much safety?

    no, but there is a database that already lists what in in. In fact, this who article this is based on came about NOT from discovering it in a lab, but by looking at the database of whats in it and then creating a scare article.

    ANd? that number is pretty meaningless for a comparison. I wish people wou stop using it alone.

    Far more people are on the road, and far more miles are driven then flown.

    How many people die per 100,000 trips would be better. A trip in this context meaning, driving you car some where, not just vacation trips.
    we have, what at least 250,000,000 million people taking at least 2 trips a day? trip to work/school/ trip home.
    Adding in shopping, visits to event and friend houses, probably closer to 500,0000,000 trips per day.

    on average there are about 30,000 flight per day.

    Taken into context, car travel is far, far more safer.

    Commercial airlines travel what, about 800,000,000 miles per year?
    Miles driven 3,000,000,000,000
    More mile are driven every day then are flown all year.
