Sorry if this disappoints you, but America is not the only but just one of several points on the list. BTW, I am neither the editor nor the owner of the Scientific American. Despite the misleading title, last time I checked it was still an American-made publication. ;) |

But, the situation may be unpleasant, it's not catastrophic. Science is not hindered by religions. Apart from stem cell research, which science managed to adapt by researching other sources than fetuses. All this anti-science talk is a way to be loud. pro-science people will just need to be louder A smart believer will suport science, a dumb atheist will still not contribute |

If there was a sure cure for cancer, there would be billions lost in the drug industry, look what's going on in the energy industry in America, even I was dumded down years ago that we had no oil here, what a suprise that we have so much under our feet and we have so many denying the fact, and you know what,, global warming is really cause by all those windmills slowing the atmosphere down so it can't cool its self:hmmm::woot::03::haha: not to mention how many birds that are killed:nope:. If you want to get rid of co2 in the air grow more trees and stop these third world countries from cutting down their forest to make charcoal. I think some where it says we are ranked 7th in the worlds economy and we fell out of the top ten prosperious nations in the world.

I can be the sunshine positive optimist of this forum if you want someone to balance Sky out. :sunny: But I'll probably shoot myself after a week :D |
Yubba, the amount of birds killed by wind turbines is proportionally minuscule compared to cats and other predators.

Well, in the cold war we too to science like fish to water,
now...candidates have to pretend that the world is 6,000 years old just to get a vote. It's silly to expect our technological advantage to continue at this rate |

USA is very colorful country with a lot of things going that are hard to swallow for europeans. I personally see this diversity as a merit even thou it may cause all sorts of headlines. I also wonder why this particular thing came up just now lol. ....... |
And August has successfully managed to steer the discussion away from the article itself, which is actually pretty interesting, whether you agree with it or not.

But then, is it necessary for a president to know that :hmm2: |
