    The only cure for global warming is money.

    So global warming is causing the entire planet to warm evenly? Like in Antarctica where ships (on a mission to prove global warming) got frozen in the ice in the middle of summer?

    What if, after the debate, Ken Ham had walked to the parking lot of his museum and discovered that the driver-side front fender of his car was damaged, with debris from his front driver-side headlight strewn on the ground? He would no doubt conclude that someone hit his car while he was parked there. But not so fast, Mr. Ham. Let's apply your own standards of evidence: You don't know. You weren't there.
    Did the damage to the fender happen billions of years ago with no human living today being a witness? Never mind that with cctv everywhere there would most likely be direct evidence.
    And global warming is not tethered to facts but beliefs and faith.

    Two unclean animals and seven clean animals. You are trying to misinform. And if you want to go full nut case you could even take dinosaurs and lizards etc on the ARK in the form of eggs thereby saving a shit-ton of space. Eggs don't usually eat each other. And gopher-wood is not made of gophers.

    How can they sell a product in the US that has the Ubuntu "restricted extras" enabled? Could Dell sell an Ubuntu computer with the restricted repo enabled, or would you have to enable it yourself?

    Bad example. Most places require liability insurance in case you hurt someone or damage something that doesn't belong to you. If you own your car there is no requirement to insure your own vehicle against damages you cause. Perhaps the problem is people are being force to buy insurance if they want credit for that super fancy phone just like the bank demands full coverage insurance if you borrow their money to buy a car.

    How can an Ubuntu phone be taken serious when Touch is horribly buggy and hardly runs on anything. I tested it on my Nexus 7 and it was basically unusable it doesn't even have a working memory management. I would probable have better luck with Haiku. O well back to CM, at least it works and has a cool animation at startup. Which is all that matters if you want to look cooler and nerdier that the other guy reading his tablet on the toilet.

    What does Christianity have to do with Global Warming? Is Islam a threat to Global Warming as well? So why did NASA change historic temperatures? Why has their been no measurable Global Warming in 17 years? And even if I choose to believe in Global warming where is the proof (not belief or faith like some nutty religion) that Global Warming is man made.

    "The real reason for the "rise" in autism is better detection." The real reason is socially awkward/no self discipline people want something to blame other than themselves. So blaming some phantom condition instead of stopping being weird is easier. I actually blame the parents for not raising their children properly and blaming some phantom condition every time their kids act up.
