The data do not support your position because the data is not clear.
From your link.
The statistic does not take into account differences in experience, skill, occupation, education or hours worked, as long as it qualifies as full-time work
Full time work is 40 hours a week. All the occupations you listed are occupations where you can work upto 80 hours or more a week depending on how money hungry you are. The data only says that the women's annual income was lower not that they are necessarily paid less for equivalent work. I'm pretty sure all female doctors would be having a huge shit fit if they were paid 60% of what a man get's for the same operation.
It's very easy to have a high IQ and not know anything about grammar and syntax. One could argue that syntax is for those of lesser intelligence that need arbitrary symbols to tell them how to interpret things. This would be even more true for someone on the autism spectrum. My IQ was only 162 but for the first 2 decades of my life I never even knew what a comma was for, nor could i tell time, or tell you the names of the months in order.
It's probably why so few people understand Lisp, it just isn't for that average sheeple who like to be constrained and tortured by things like Java.
Your examples don't really support your point. The three pictures you gathered have a red bus and big ben prominently displayed in the background, typical tourist advertisement/postcard. The two photos in question aren't like this, they're much wider shots and they use the landscape as compositional elements, big ben being there but not dominating the scene. They in fact pretty much have the same vanishing point, you could almost view it as the second one being a zoomed in photo takena few seconds before the zoomed out one.
It's quite easy to see the guy copied it, and copied it badly. If you read the article it says he's had problems with the same copier before. He copied it badly because while the original downplayed big ben to be able to use architecture as compositional elements the copy tried to revert to the more commercial touristy side of things with big ben eclipsing everything, not so much in the copy but enough to start ruining the lines, horizon:height ratio and color balance.
Wow, I know it's christmas and everything but, you really are an idiot aren't you?
Let's avoid your false belief that it produces less food per acreage, i've already dealt with that.
Here it is. Pesticides and herbicides and lots of fertilizers are all derived from OIL!!! That automatically makes it unsustainable.
Organic farming and permaculture actually nourish the earth because of the diversity and produce more because of that diversity as well. Sure, they can't be run like huge mono-culture farms but that's a good thing. More local produce, less land shipping (unsustainable currently because depends on oil), better taste (for those of us with taste buds, so sorry nic and caf addicts), less land and water pollution, better nutrition, and more local jobs. Fallacious appeal to authority, look it up, stop falling for it, research stuff yourself, don't be so myopic and one-dimensional.
Also note, sustaining a life is less important than actually helping that life to be lived.
Ah, sorry, I'm human not a computer. Curse all those other humans who didn't think of the consequences for computers centuries before they were invented!
Wow way to extrapolate there, and again organic doesn't need twice the land. Permaculture and food forests have a denser nutrient to land use than monoculture. But yeah, sure, why not? I believe in living a sustainable lifestyle and 7 billion on earth isn't sustainable.
It's selfish of us to think otherwise, we need to start respecting the planet that gives us life.
It's not that i don't understand it, it's that i understand it. I've worked in labs and my bro currently does work on deadly virii and bacteria like ebola. It's all about how they go about cutting and splicing.
As a total side line, it's the reason i won't buy anything with cottonseed or soy oil in it. Both seeds have negligible amounts of oil that are not commercially viable unless extraction is done through toxic carcinogenic solvents. Working with those solvents i don't care what any studies say about evaporation and not leaving anything behind my nose tells me different. (it's also one of the main reasons i don't do lab work anymore)
I am a little bit on the sensitive side though and have gotten to know the 'taste' of many food additives and can usually tell without looking what has been added. I do sometimes get my potassium and calciums mixed up some times, chlorides that is, there just isn't any confusing calcium carbonate!
Weird. Sometimes i get this crazy idea that it really has nothing to do with what protocols you follow as long as you BELIEVE that the protocols will work. As i've said, i just don't get these problems.
Good on you for actually growing your own stuff, truth is, there really isn't anything at all like a fresh picked tomato or a carrot just pulled out of the ground, regardless of the growing methods. Well, might want to wash that carrot first depending on the chemicals!
Can you not see the difference between selecting traits already present and injecting new traits from non-plants or diverse species? Genetic splicing in general is not the cut and dry process some would like to believe.
Permaculture isn't about killing things so yes, technically, you are correct. However, it is about creating the type of eco-system that does not supply the ideal environment for the things you do not want in your garden and in that sense it is effective with the caveat that it's effectiveness is directly linked to your knowledge of what each plant requires and supplies to it's environment. An easy example for aphids is to just plant attractors for things that like to eat aphids. No, this won't kill the population 100% but then again why should it? I can't understand the obsession of the US to kill everything and we're starting to get good evidence that killing everything off is not the good thing to do, e.g., bacteria in the house, mono-culture farming, etc...
I think you'll find that disease and insects usually attack the weak and sickly plants, good for them! Who wants to eat the sick and weak? Just toss them into your compost bin and you have the benefit of more organic compost as well as the hardiest fruit and veg to eat.
That's why permaculture is the answer. Nice symbiotic relationships that give you good veg and fruit while keeping away the weeds, providing ground cover to stop erosion and water loss, and detering the insects.
Personally, i've never had a problem with insects or weeds even before i heard about permaculture, then again i'm Special®.
That's probably because US'ians seem to eat a lot less real food. Sometimes I wonder if they've all had their taste buds surgically removed at birth when i taste any of their processed crap.
Permaculture anyone? Besides you're just inventing lies. If it was even true that they needed 2 the land, it would be worth it for less contamination of soil, water, and actual produce, better taste, and higher nutritional value.
Canadians have done it for decades without any problem, are USians just lazy or what? Lot's of cars here come with plugs and lots of parking spaces have outlets to plug into to heat up the engine block.
I often get comments on how informative I have been and what a great attitude I have compared to many of the reps at other area retailers.
You really think people would comment like that if everybody provided the same service? Everybody is used to bad service from reps just reading info of the ticket.

You've obviously never been to the gulf of mexico.
They're usually on the same DATE not DAY. This new calendar would change what date they're on. Why were you modded up?

Yeah, but nooks let you root and read your manga :)
As far as I can tell, we have made our mind up, we're taught british english. Just what the hell are you talking about, eh?

Science is half wrong all the time and cross-disciplinary corrections are rare.
Big Business pays for 'scientific' studies all the time to back their claims. They're in it for profit and they frequently lie.
Slashdot always gets the summary incorrectly and the study is nothing as general as confirming safety of all gmo products.

I wonder when the religion of science will be replaced by actual science in the general populace.

No, his comment was accurate and your anecdote backed it up.
