You mean that some Joe Random Commentator on Slashdot (who can't spell flawed) has spotted some "serious" flaws in a research paper that the peer reviewers of Nature, one of the most reputable scientific journals in the world, have failed to spot.
Well, spank me on the arse and call me shorty!
I'll look forward to reading your comments in the next issue of Nature.
It's something to do with the verb "use" being used as a noun (substantive ?) This means in english this is the same as the infinitive; hence "to use".
"But when most people think about what an "executive" is, running a company, or being high up in the managerial food chain in terms of running a company, that is what most people think of."
Is that why Sales and Marketing drones always give themselves a title with "executive" in it ?
e.g. Key Account Executive.
and usually where, I come from, executive when applied to a bus, means only that it has a toilet in.
e.g Smith's Executive Travel
which usually contains a load of drunken footy fans.
Also for the non-british: along with North Korean Goverenment, the National Health Service is the last Stalinist organisation on earth. However, the North Korean Government wastes a lot less money.
"The facts are simple, The US has the longest continuous democratic government in the world. So the comment stable government is accurate in that sense."
No it fucking doesn't. The UK has a lot longer continuous democratic government than the US
"they take much longer to count than electronic ballots."
Sorry to go on and on and on and on and on about this but WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK AT A ROLLING DONUT WHETHER IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES OR A FEW DAYS as long as the count is correct.
I come from a country where paper voting is the norm . I can actually stand waiting until some time the following afternoon to find out who the government for the nex foru to five years is going to be. Ballot paper voting is not broken it doesn't need fixing.
...and if in making up a word you give the impression that you don't care about language and are too ignorant to not know how to form new words from exsiting words (burglarize anyone ?)... then congratulations, you're American:-)
I don't care what the crime rate "figures" say. I'm British and I'd love to be able to own a gun to protect my family and property from some of the scumbags we have in the UK.
Call the police? They turn up after the perps are long gone, ask you if you belong to a minority and give you a crime number.
You have a touching faith in the democratic legitimacy of the UN (you should look up the meaning of the word sometime)
Why should the UK and the US refrain from doing what they think is right just because the people who murdered Greenpeace activists, rolled the tanks into Tianamem Square and who have systmatically destroyed a country for trying to exercise it's right of self-determintaion happen to vote against it (Not necessarilly all the same country)
"In Europe, though, it's practically forbidden to acknowledge that Hitler ever existed."
Bullshit. You have no idea what you are talking about.
I'm intimately aquainted with the educational systems of several european countries and if anything there is too much teaching of Hitler and the Third Reich, especially in Germany.
I've driven through Belgium on motorways a few times at night (it only takes a hour or so) and, in a similat way to the fact the Queen thinks that the world smells of new paint, I think that Belgium is yellow.
"because they are 100% more likely to get it than white men"...with your obvious expertise in statistics and probability you could answer all of your questions yourself if you tried a bit harder
Slashdot Mirror
You're an artist complaining that he hasn't been paid ?
You're new to this business aren't you ?
So which "serious flaws" are there in the paper published in Nature?
only old people don't like heatwaves like 2003

Hell is bad english
who would have thought

All you show is that you don't understand the meaning of the word "theory" or the scientific method.
You "know" fuck all.
"If someone uses this threat to control a rouge nation that has said they want us to burn in nuclear flames, then that is good."
What have you got against other countries wearing make-up ?
Also for the non-british: along with North Korean Goverenment, the National Health Service is the last Stalinist organisation on earth. However, the North Korean Government wastes a lot less money.
Correct, apart from the unfortunate use of the word "unfortunately"
"The facts are simple, The US has the longest continuous democratic government in the world. So the comment stable government is accurate in that sense."
No it fucking doesn't. The UK has a lot longer continuous democratic government than the US
You might think differently about this when you're old enough to vote
"The United States is known as being the world's most stable democracy."
By Whom ?
At a quick guess I think that title goes to Iceland. Even the UK's civil war was quite a few years prior to the one in the US.

I say perps, I don't watch American cop shows and I am British. And what is "dumb" with wanting to defend my family and our property?
BTW Dumb is an Americanism

No homelessness and free universities?
You want to take a look over the edge of the Alps sometimes.

"Name another industrialised nation where creationism is even being discussed as a topic for public school curricula..." ...er... the UK
