Where on earth did you get that? And you are clearly incorrect as he/she hasn't answered my question. Therefore I cannot be "smearing" him for a response he hasn't given. What ridiculous ad hominem. I asked a genuin

> or publish definite statements about how this theory finally "disproves" competing theories. But again, this applies in any area of science. Which competing theory does evolution disprove?

Possibly, or possibly he's finding reasons to rebuff evolution so that the only remaining answer is intelligent design. But neither of us know that, so that's why I asked.

In their initial comment they write: ...and turn “evolution” into a religion in our quest to replace creationist accounts.

Are you suggesting that creationism is a valid theory?

Nice try - but the original question doesn't state the egg has to be a chicken-egg, just "the egg".

Socialism is redistribution of wealth by the state. This is redistribution of wealth by capitalism?

by philbarr 7y ago
Would one way to redistribute wealth to ensure that everybody partakes in the wealth that is created? So you're always earning a stake in what you're doing. In practice this would mean that all jobs would pay RSUs of some kind. If

When I was a junior I was working with a bunch of other juniors and the solution was to shout, scream, and throw things. Now I'm older and the solution is to empathise and work out any differences calmly. Both solutions have their pros

Oh come on this is getting ridiculous. On that page he said, "Taxes or delays at the customs, it is not important compared to the manufacturing costs. Car manufacturers complain all the time. But there is no problem without [a] solutio

It's fine for him to campaign for his own company, as long as he's clear it's all about his self-interest in the world of vacuum cleaner regulation. It's not ok to say that Brexit will be great for all the other companie

If Brexit was great for Britain, he would clearly be investing more in Britain. But he isn't. Hence the hypocrisy.

It's a reason to be upset, it's not a reason to back a brexit campaign.

So if he's basically based in Singapore, why get involved in the Brexit argument at all? Or at least if he did, why wasn't his argument, "I had to move all my manufacturing out of the UK because it's not like Singapore&q

by philbarr 8y ago
The hypocrisy is based on the fact he loudly supported Brexit saying that we would be better off outside the EU because of how awesome the UK could do by itself, before moving everything to Singapore. He clearly cares not in the least about

Having another referendum now we know what the actual options for leaving are seems democratic to me. But you won't get people, including politicians, that want a no-deal brexit to agree to it. And even though Farage himself said, &quo
