  2. Re:Scientific Method on War Over Arsenic Based Life · · Score: 1

    Oh really? http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/IAC_report/IAC%20Report.pdf "Independent Judgment. When requested to provide advice on a particular issue, the IAC assembles an international panel of experts. Serving on a voluntary basis, panel members meet and review current, cutting-edge knowledge on the topic; and prepare a draft report on its findings, conclusions, and recommendations. All IAC draft reports undergo an intensive process of peer-review by other international experts. Only when the IAC Board is satisfied that feedback from the peer review has been thoughtfully considered and incorporated is a final report released to the requesting organization and the public. Every effort is made to ensure that IAC reports are free from any national or regional bias", But then again, THAT report was only signed by 2500 scientists...

  3. Creeps me out. on Zuckerberg Only Eating Animals He Personally Kills · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but I know the PR slant on this is Eco PC, but slitting the throats of goats sounds like a better way to start a career in serial killing then it is to continue a career as a software CEO. While it is important to appreciate the things you have, this is taking it too far. Farming the fields all day would give a person a better understanding and appreciation to the work that goes into their bread, but would leave their hands calloused. Similarly, killing your own food will give a better empathy and appreciation, but doing enough of it will probably leave those feelings calloused as well. I'm just saying, it's a fine line between self improvement and self abuse - http://www.pet-abuse.com/pages/abuse_connection.php
