Tch, that doesn't count as domestication, however. You can do the same with, say, a cheetah cub with much the same result (actually cheetahs are ideal candidates) - they can be tamed, but that isn't the same as domestication. And that dude may say dingoes are poor hunters, but they aren't...

Dingoes? Well, not really. They're almost as wild as wolves are, and it took thousands of years to domesticate them. Hybrids can be domesticated, depending on the generation, but pures? Not really. Horses: held. :p

Like what? EDIT: I lie - the only native Australian animal yet domesticated is the Zebra Finch. Yup, "firestick farming".

qft.

Um. All dogs were bred for a purpose, and most were bred for hunting/herding/guarding of some description. Funnily enough, Rottweilers had a history of herding and pulling carts, rather than guarding. Terriers? Bred to herd, nipping ankles, or going into small holes and attacking things like...

There was this guy who did some research and came to that conclusion, but it was dubious at best. I don't know of any beyond that. There's actually a lot of sense in that argument despite the intelligence bit - domestication and agriculture does foster "civilisation" as we know it, and that...

First, I don't think there is any legitimate scientific proof towards the idea of any one 'race' being more or less intelligent than any other, and second, to be fair, I think the low education rate of Aboriginals has a lot to do with the crime statistics, not with their inherent level of...

I've got to say, most of the problem with dogs is not the dogs themselves - it's their owners. As many people get bitten by Maltese Terriers as they do by bigger dogs: it's just less heard of.

That's impossible. You can't be racist against a religion, only to a.. race. Hence the word. Religion is ideology, and there is no crime in criticising any part of it.

Open 24/7? Er, outside? If you have after-hours access to computer rooms those are open to you, but that's for work, not poker.

Ahhhh Asquithian. We had some grand old arguments.

Yep, it's gotta be said. First rule re: scientific experimental material: ALWAYS LABEL IT. Exhaustively.

Hey guys, let the bribing begin. I accept chocolate, most forms of alcohol. I'm kidding. :p My thanks to Iron, Rafy and everyone else :)

Well now that you mention it.. http://community.boredofstudies.org/718/fitness-health/175681/physiology-behind-obesity.html

I saw an obese baby about a year ago. It was disgusting. The mother deserved to be shot.

I'm pretty sure that for the road patrols, they have to chase you and physically give you the notice. If they didn't, odds are you won't get anthing.

Always a good thing to face the truth of one's mortality :headbang:

But religion itself borrows from inherent values - which is why I think we as a society will eventually wake up to ourselves and grow out of it. It's inevitable.
