Well, too bad. Science and medicine were never the rosiest of subjects.

Out of curiosity for those of us who haven't read the book, can someone post its ending in spoiler tags?

Go and be a woman in an Islamic country, and then come back to me and say that.

These aren't the actions of the Taliban. They're the actions of the Afghanistani government.

Okay, great, Islam was better than the west in terms of women's rights (for the sake of argument) centuries ago. We have now leapfrogged it, so when is it going to catch up?

It would, however, invalidate the flawed idea that homosexuality is a personal choice. Clearly, it isn't.

I suppose you could say that. It's still a hypothesis, but it's certainly a viable one, and it makes sense.

Ugh, don't get me started. Being a Young Lib, I'm quite used to being derided for my ideas regarding climate change. *sigh*

Those women didn't ask to be born there.

A lot of the time, although a lot of the people I argue with re: CC are Catholic, and so believe (conditionally) in evolution.

Why is this newsworthy? Who cares?

Your point was that "show me some science you have done proving anthropogenic climate change", (which is the only way I'd be able to do it "without appealing to any scientific/academic consensus/reports") which obviously I can't do as I am not a climate scientist. However, that does not preclude...
