Very grown up reply. My opinion isn't a popular one. Fair enough. I've copped a lot of a abuse (which is expected in this community) but nothing close to a substantial argument. Abuse doesn't make you right. It just makes you look stupid.
Maybe Darwin was a Christian. Most people where back then. I don't find any evidence that he was devout though.
I'm a scientist and I haven't yet seen any proof of evolution despite years of looking. I don't just "accept" what people say. I prefer to investigate and examine things. It's called "scientific method". You can't just dismiss one side of the argument simply because you don't like what they say.
Evolution (and not micro evolution which is obvious and observable, but evolution by common descent, goo-to-you-via-the-zoo darwinism) is not compatible with Christianity, despite what some say. If man evolved from a micro-organism, then God did not create man in his own image, which is kinda fundamental to basic Christian faith.
Our plain old (Australian) free-to-air TV blew up a few weeks back, and the cost of repair (with 3 month warranty) was close to the cost of new identical TV (with 2 year warranty). We toyed with the idea of a HDTV, but the repair guy advised us to wait a few years because they still haven't worked out the Australian standard, and we'd risk buying an expensive boat-anchor.
Where is the news here?
Millions of people are making money selling this stuff on auction sites.
If he made a million selling artwork or real estate he'd also be deported for breaking the law.
Preachers on TV? Hardly any. That's a decidedly U.S.-ian thing. (I don't want to say "American" and tar all of the Americas with the same brush as the USA.)
Atheists on TV? I see plenty about evolution, which is basically atheist preaching.
You need to go back and read that page again.
You've only listed the "natural" sources of Methane.
If you look at "man made" sources then "enteric fermentation" (or livestock related) accounts for a substantial chunk (23%).
Livestock manure management accounts for another big chunk (7%)
According to that EPA page, man made emissions account for 544Tg/year and the natural sources you list account for 190Tg/year. Livestock accounts for 154.1Tg/year.
I don't think anyone would argue that micro-evolution within a species and natural selection happens. That's how man has been able to breed dogs and cats with various traits for example. This however does not explain universal common descent as postulated by Darwin. Breeding lizards to have longer or shorter legs is not evolution... it's breeding.
So you entrust your life to whichever local council drone arbitrarily put up the sign and decided on the number to paint on it??
Those recommended speed signs vary wildly, so what may be safe on one corner (i.e. 20 above the posted recommendation) may well be deadly on another!! Not to mention the actual state of the road surface, camber and degree of tightening.
Me... call me crazy... by I tend to look at the road itself. Kind of bizarre, but it works.
Actually I don't want people traveling at 80km/h in a mixed pedestrian / vehicle environment.
I take your point that if something is confusing or unusual, people have to stop and think before proceeding, but that's the whole point of this arrangement! It makes people stop and think rather than just blindly obeying the red and green lights and pretty signs like pavlovs dogs, and ignoring their environment.
I don't know which article you read, but the one I read was about mixing pedestrian, automotive and cyclist traffic without any regulation. Yes there was a picture of a roundabout but it's not really related to the article.
But just to stay off-topic with you... I think roundabouts are a brilliant idea. We have them all over Australia and in 99% of cases they work far better than traffic lights or intersections, since they enforce the "give way to the right" rule. (although in the USA it would be "give way to the left")
I'm the IT Manager for what was a medium size company (around 30 people). When I arrived and kicked off the IT department, since I had Linux skills, using Linux for our servers was a no-brainer. Cheap, robust, reliable, flexible... all of that. However using Linux on the desktop is still a long way off. Even trying to go for Windows based OpenOffice met with a good deal of resistance and was abandoned.
Recently we were purchased by a large multi-national, and the message coming down from their management is "we can afford to buy proper software. We don't need to use 'free' stuff".
They seem to be missing the point that we don't use Linux because its 'free', but because its 'better'
I'm sure this is a common story. We battled for years with our son until he was diagnosed with Aspegers at 5 years old. We didn't let him watch any TV until he was 2 and then limited it to 0.5 hours per day of an "educational" type kids show. But TV is something that he finds comforting because there's no social loading. Social interaction is what autistic kids find the most difficult and scary, and TV lets them avoid that, hence they are attracted to it.
Yes I agree there is a correlation. My 6yo who has Aspergers Syndrome would watch TV all day if we let him. But did TV cause AS? Or does Autism encourage TV watching? Yes there is a link, but which way does it go?
Do violent video games cause violence or are violent people attracted to violent video games?

...they drew their plans against us.
Typical arrogant reply from the USA.
But I'm sure we've all seen these pictures

Yeah... we wouldn't want people to have to THINK while they're driving those car and truck things.
If people aren't give rules to follow, then how will they be able to disobey them and get fined, thus generating revenue for the government!
If this idea is ever put forward in Australia, I predict that the government will can it due to "safety concerns".

One dolphin is found with some extra fins from a population of x-million dolphins, and somehow this is evidence of evolution??
Talk about grasping at straws!! Sheesh!

1 hp = 0.75kW so it's actually 200kW... but... err... I see what you mean.
:-)
Maybe I read the label wrong and it's 0.266 HP

Yes... the power of a horse is much more relevant to measuring computer power usage. Hang on while I fire up my 266.67 horsepower power supply...
