  • Researchers: Even "Organically Raised" Cows Are a "Climate Bomb"

    "Or just stop eating animals altogether. If you're going to cut down to once a week, why not go all the way?"
    Sorry to all vegetarians and other anti-meat groups, but I have to quote the most over-quoted quote in the history of mother-quotes: "You are what you eat" - I'd rather base a diet around the meat of a strong animal than that of plants. (No offence intended there, just letting people know my position).
    Now to my main point - to help reduce the effect cattle and some other livestock have on the environment, wouldn't it be wise to set up some sort of system to trap all these gasses? I know it's done already, but surely a change in routine or something could allow farmers to better catch the burps and farts of cows?

    I agree as well.

  • Killing the Lions to Save the Deer--To Kill the Deer
    Chrisso commented on the article | almost 3 years ago

    Gosh, just tell all the hunters to come downunder to help us cull the damn roo population. They'll all end up dying anyway if they overpopulate, and not only that but the meat is better than steak IMHO.
    Actually, no, forget that - we may have overpopulation with kangaroos, but I have a feeling that even then there wouldn't be enough roo for all the hunters, if they have this much influence in society (to be allowed to shoot the mountain lions to save the deer to etc etc).

  • Petition: Thank Politicians Who Say "No" to Creationists

    An, I should add that I wasn't trying to attack anyone in my last post, I just didn't want to fill it up with emoticons, so it doesn't look quite as friendly as intended. Sorry 'bout that.

  • Petition: Thank Politicians Who Say "No" to Creationists

    It's not that hard to figure out - teach Evolution AND Creationism. That way, kids get the concepts of Evolution etc, and if they feel the need, they can follow it up further in life (after all, to some extent, many organisms undergo micro-evolution, and it's important to understand how etc), and also then kids can learn some Creationism, an alternate view, and understand the Christian view behind why everything is here. The worse thing in an education system is to close off a child's mind. You need to give the child choices, and let them choose their own path. An unbiased approach, representing to two biggest schools of thought in the science of origins (I just made that term up then, forgive me if it's wrong) is much better for the future of any child. Teach 'em both, then give them the choice.
    @ Clay: I understand and respect your feeling toward this. But I must say that you associating creationist beliefs with flat-earth and 17th century education is a bit over-the-top (although, I would get the feeling there are some creationists who believe in that, I personally think we should send them all out to space and let them have a look for themselves).Anyway, I personally believe that God created everything, but to some extent things have evolved along the way. I don't know how old the earth is (I don't think anyone can, unless he or she is that old!), but I'm pretty sure that for wolves to be bred into pugs, it must be fairly old ;) So I think a mix of both is good, or to avoid the situation entirely, like in many Australian schools (it's assumed knowledge actually).
    Anyway I just thought I should stick my 11 cents in with government tax included (and to the guys who were comparing christianity to a cockroach infestation - seriously, do you have no tact, or are you trying to tell everyone that you are biased? Telling a man he's a cockroach only makes him upset and solidifies his viewpoints further).
