"0.326 degrees F increase in the temperature of the top of the global ocean isn't exactly something that most people would be alarmed about" - and why not? Just because is sounds small does not mean that it won't have an effect on weather patterns. The Gulf Stream moves about due to temperature changes and that can make a mess of the weather patterns in the UK
"we've been using water faster than water can evaporate and fall as rainfall. " -I'm not sure about that. There is so much concrete/tarmac on this planet now where water sits so the only place for it to go is into the atmosphere. This may add to causes of climate change
"We must respect everyone's opinions equally. " - WHY? If an opinion is stupid, it should be shot down and if necessary ridiculed. Even clever and academically smart people have stupid opinions.
"I don't agree that Intelligent Design (ID) is an argument from ignorance. " - thats your problem then.
"In fact, it's exceptional to find opponents to ID that have actually investigated the matter with any rigor" - they have to explain to the ID idiots how things work as the ID idiots have no clue. ID has NO proof only "God did it"
If you don't think women should be equal then just say so, don;t hide it behind attacks on the feminist movement. I could easily say the "side effects" as you put them are down to the rise of the religious right and their aim to put womens rights back into the dark ages as thats what the shiity book thells them
thats a complete load of bollox, there is no "Why", there is only "Is", your only purpose is to reproduce, if you find another reason to to have meaning to your life then you are fortunate
well, you shouldn't make troll statements like this "Did feminism lead to single parent homes with greater financial dependency on public welfare? Unless I'm very much mistaken, it did promote movement in that direction. "
oh bollox. Should children learn about Storks bringing babies as a competing idea? Creationism has zero value or basis in fact.
"Those advocating creationism have just as many valid points as the rabid theorists believing as they do." list those valid points for our entertainment....
what a load of bollox. they want the government to implement laws that benefit the christians and their delusional beliefs. If a christian believes in true compassion then he's not really a christian, they only have compassion because they think they'll get brownie points from their deity.
"with one caveat: that the state at least recognize that 'church' (in the generic Judeo-Christian sense) played a highly important role in the creation and development of the 'state'" this needs a bit of a fix
"with one caveat: that the state at least recognize that 'church' (in the generic Judeo-Christian sense) played a highly important role in the separation of church and state and development of the 'state'" i think thats a bit closer. they realized the tyranny of religion would not be a good idea to create a democracy
i fucking hate browser based apps so i don't want all shit in (css/html/js). You write all your software for the browser so you have a vested interest. KDE/GNOME are going the correct way as far as I'm concerned as the work flow thru web pages is shit.
"They saw what Monsanto was doing with not allowing corn farmers to save seed, and were concerned that if the taro market went to GMO the same thing would happen with taro, where farmers would be entirely dependent on Monsanto and pretty much unable to resist or remain independent."
I'm with them on this point. And that is what should be highlighted, companies like Monsanto are evil.

If they get away with it then they'll do it a lot more and more jobs will be lost to cheaper imports.
"Most of it is written in C for speed and low-level access." - do you mean remote access? :o)
Nice one.. +1. its the old "best be thought a fool rather than opening mouth (or typing) to prove it"
"The point is, most KDE apps suck big time, and the entire GUI is clumsy," more fucking crap vapourware arguments
"why do most KDE apps look like they were written by people who never use their own programs" - i'd say the same for browser based apps

teaching Creationism side-by-side with Evolution in a science class gives creationism some sort of credibility in the eyes of the creationist
please don't attribute morality to the bibles/koran/xxxx religious manuals - its a fallacy that you get morals from these books
bacon sandwich?
