If you can't analyse it from an independant and unbiased (hint: non-religious) stand point, then don't use it.

I would wonder at the sense of any "marine biologist" who would vote in the affirmative of "minke whale farming", given farming of such an animal is ludicrous, even only taking into account logistics :rolleyes: It is certainly in large part due to national pride. In fact, I would say that is...

Tchah. Willful stupidity is a crime :p

I stand corrected, he is too. Comment regarding his qualifications duly retracted with apologies. If I were you I'd be careful about implying that whale biologists are unable to retain a critical distance from their study subjects - such an accusation is a serious violation of academic...

Do enlighten.

My honours seminar finishes at 3, so I'll be there around then.

Also, he dares to assume that His Noodliness is concerned with such base human failings.

With respect, Tim Flannery is not a biologist, ecologist, or a marine mammal scientist. We don't know enough about minke whales to determine even their conservation status. Krill fisheries? Krill is not an economically viable fishery for human consumption, given there is currently limited...

Mmm, such a loving god you have..

I always thought that the idea of Hell was simply "the absense of God", and the fiery images were euphamistic. Not such a bad thing, really.

I'm sorry to have to repeat myself, but, how do you know it's not Tezcatlipoca? Ixchel? Re-Horakhty? How do you know that it's not just your mind playing tricks on you? You don't. You can't. So why believe it? And how would you propose I "try to perceive"? (Well actually, I can have...
