    Global Warming | Fact or Fiction?

    No more than we did with the tobacco companies... or the rail road companies before them and the East India company before them, and so on. We seem doomed to forever forget the lesson of unchecked mercantilism. wa:do

    I'm not an astronomer... but you are welcome to look at all the stars in the universe to prove that one isn't out there. :cool: Zubeneschamali is said by many viewers to be green, though to others it seems white. I haven't looked myself, but it seems like a good place for you to start...

    An honest question for believers

    My religion is based on reverence for nature and my ancestors. How can learning more about either do anything but strengthen my faith. :shrug: wa:do

    Men in the West are dressed in full; women are dressed half , quarter or less

    Thanks for proving my point... high divorce rates are not a feature of the west" alone. The only country that is part of "the west" on this map is the USA. Though Estonia may also count as it recently joined the EU. wa:do

    How do you know that the redness isn't caused by an organism... or that it won't spread to other grasses? :cool: I'm just trying to keep you from making declarative statements that are demonstrably false (we all know that grass is green). The black swan is not something you want biting you...

    Men in the West are dressed in full; women are dressed half , quarter or less

    Across most of "the West" divorce rates are not on average higher than in any other devolved part of the world. The USA has the highest divorce rates (though that number fluctuates) but other nations in "the West" are no higher than say nations in "the middle east" or "the east". For...

    There must be a way they can blame everything on women's immodesty. :rolleyes: If only western women dressed in hijabs or burkas then we wouldn't have jaywalkers or litter. Everything would be perfect. wa:do

    Men in the West are dressed in full; women are dressed half , quarter or less

    And I am talking about the fact that "broad cultural trends" of women's objectification in the USA doesn't mean that all women in the west dress in a skimpy fashion. We seem to be talking cross purposes and in circles. wa:do

    Actually there is good evidence that it does mold it... rather than reflect it. http://pure.au.dk/portal-asb-student/files/10594/8_-_sexual_objectification_of_women.pdf It is increasingly sexualizing males as well as females Thou shalt sport a banana in thy pocket: Gendered body size ideals in...

    Men in the West are dressed in full; women are dressed half , quarter or less

    So... how women are portrayed in media is more important than how women actually dress? I'm not saying that media doesn't influence or reflect culture, but seriously, you really think that all women in "the west" from France and Germany to the USA, Canada and Iceland dress in skimpy outfits...

    Be careful with declarative statements like "we know grass is green" :sarcastic I introduce you to "Japanese blood-grass" which is unsurprisingly bright red. You ran smack into the "black swan". :facepalm: wa:do

    My mother is a wonderful person, kind and caring.... but about as delicate as a piece of granite. :cool: In my opinion it's just as bad to put a woman on a pedestal as it is to think of her as a sex object. In both cases you are making her an object and not seeing her has a human being. wa:do

    Men in the West are dressed in full; women are dressed half , quarter or less

    Why don't you start.... stop treating her as a sexual object and judging her intelligence by the cloths she wears but on her merits and qualities. :tsk: Why should a woman have to dress like a man to be seen as intelligent. :shrug: wa:do

    Really? And what is a proper sample size for a population numbering 7 billion? Prove and support are very different concepts and it's important that people understand this... especially considering the context of anti-science and creationist mumbo-jumbo. Actually to be picky, your statement...
