    Just "most scientists"? Could you point a respected, acknowled scientist who is supporter of creationist theory? I got your point, its the wording that puzzles me.

    Fyi, i did not say that winter war outcome "was mostly due to weather", you did.

    Here are details about Finnish losses on Winter War, saying plain 65000 casualties is bit misleading i think (stats from wiki).

    Finnish casualties

    26,662 dead
    39,886 wounded
    1,000 captured[5]

    Russian casualties

    126,875 dead or missing
    264,908 wounded
    3,100 captured[6]

    Russian (or Soviet Unions's) ally General Winter was really fighting for Finland this time. Stalin used mostly troops that had never seen snow (he was worried that people living near finnish borders would not fight). Bad move.

  4. Re:Simple Child Care on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    I think that b(f)laming school staff for implementing this rule is stupid. Its the legal system and lawyers who are responsible for the _need_ of ridiculous rule like this. I have heard about so many stupid lawsuits that it is easy to understand schools position. Maybe they should have legally binding contract for students who want to 'tag' to not sue school in case of injury.

    Hell, even that would make money for some lawyer though. In fact, probably we all should donate everything we own straight to lawyers union or something. Just to save time.

    Yeah. Mixup. Of course i meant herbicides for killing weeds.

    Did you think what you were saying at all?

    Problem 1: Weeds are becoming more and more resistant to pesticides
    Problem 2: Actual crops cant take the amount of poison that takes to kill the weeds.

    Solution: Gemodify crops also to be more resistant -> use more pesticides

    Profit.

    No other problems, right?
