I wasn't expecting that. Among other things, the federal government supported the merge.

What, because we support civil rights over social conservatism? :o

I don't think this was rape. It's a pretty fucked up case either way. It was probably wrong (but he wouldn't be the first guy or girl to continue sex when their partner is asleep!) but rape is far to harsh a word to describe this case.

I knew somebody would respond like that, so I added a link in an edit. And another reason why it is important that we don't replace our coal addiction with another addiction (whether geothermal or nuclear) is that we don't yet really know what the best alternative energy source is. Far better...

*sigh* I don't know where you're getting this from, but it's patently not true. They're are so many different renewable technologies being researched and a good chunk of them aren't viable for those reasons. But there's also a good chunk that are, and many of them have already been deployed...

That might have been true at one plant but it's certainly not the case in general. Australia has some of the most active geothermal and hot dry rock research in the world. What some people fail to understand is that no single energy source will or should replace coal. An ideal situation would...

I'm the resident greenie and I think it's a shame the environmental movement has associated the inefficient, unstable, dangerous nuclear reactors of the Cold War with the small, harmless, efficient reactors of today. So in case you're blind, that's a resounding yes for nuclear power. It won't...

It's well known Arab states (specifically Arab League states) don't allow Palestinians to become citizens. Their excuse is that if they allowed them to become citizens, they wouldn't need to attack Israel anymore.

You're a moron, but to the topic at hand: America's response to this should be quite simple - halt all military and economic aid to Israel (significant amounts) and watch them backpedal. Israel has no bargaining chips.

The source for all those supposed 'facts' is an 'anonymous tip-off' published by the independent.co.uk as fact (while Al Jazeera had the common sense to report them as anonymous and the caveats associated). While what's published might be true, it could just have easily have been made up by...

Not true. These days we can create DNA, lipids and proteins (all the building blocks of cells) from non-biological sources such as carbon, hydrogen, phosphates, and oxygen. And of course it'd be a standard person. But you're not my target audience. Religious nuts who claim biology is 'playing...

If you create an artificial sperm, and artificial egg, both from artificially constructed human DNA and mitochondria, then merge them inside an artificial whomb, what do you get?

Um, you're a tool. Australia doesn't have economic problems you moron, and it doesn't need uranium mining to keep the economy going (and uranium mining certainly hasn't been the backbone of Australia's economy in the past). There are plenty of countries around the world that exist almost...
