Sorry to be so thick but 'minimizing mindshare for your project' means what?

Conspiracy? Do you mean any 'theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful Machiavellian conspirators'? This would indeed be a weird way of describing the arguments and data put forw

OK, appeasement is certainly one solution.

Governments do not even hold themselves responsible for the previous adminstration's fiscal measures let alone the laws that were in place generations ago. Nor should they. The dead are dead. Let's expend our energies on being decent to our

First step is to determine how many world births are currently unwelcome. Do we know this? If the number is small then coercion to achieve this aim is unavoidable. That's a bit euphemistic. Better say, explicit or implicit (chemical treatme

How about not flogging the dead borse? Anyone who's read a classic novel or two can see that Rand is a lousy writer. Yes, we do know that. Can we therefore agree that it's what she says that is interesting not how she says it?

Bernard Shaw's dictum may seem a little trite but it's true nonetheless "Money is the most important thing in the world until you have enough of it". Yes! - 'enough' begs a slew of questions.

Is it an argument? Isn't it more an observation to which many can attest? Musical ability (for instance) is one area where it's completely clear cut. Even if you fingered fugues on the piano reaching out from your cot at age 18 months, you'

'At least honest with his politics and motives'. Really? Are you talking about Joseph Stalin or maybe you're confusing him with Art B. Stalin who runs a convenience store at the end of our street and likes dabbling in local politics?

This is masterful! A recommendation for the education of kids in general based on your personal experience. I'm hereafter speechless and agree with others that the submission did not deserve exposure on HN.

Wonderful. A copy of this should be sent to every legislator. However I think he misuses the word 'right'. Privacy is not a human right - evidently so because there is no general agreement as to how it's defined and respected. A right is no

Reminder: we are talking here about Europe not the overall world population. Moreover whatever some moderate Muslims say, Islam is fundamentally intolerant of other religions and atheistic values. In case you doubt it take a look at Islamic

How annoying this is: 'But the collective expertise of thousands of researchers barely registers with global warming skeptics, creationist movie producers and distrustful parents. Why is scientific authority under fire from so many corners?

Hold on, you're simply name-calling without supplying any beef. Can't you make a point instead of sending us off to (you assume) have a good laugh at JMC's political naivity?

This is a telegraph article. Does anyone else have problems with their print option when they have a piece extending over several pages? I can only print the first page.

Problem is we're way off being able to prescribe these things knowing with certainty that they'll work to our advantage. I'm saying that as a one-time biochemist and long-time pill pusher myself. Take selenium and prostate cancer. The pictu

Am I alone in finding your comment unncessarily unpleasant? Instead of offering unilluminating perjorative rhetoric why don't you provide even one example of why you take issue with the article? Perhaps you're right about it but you give n

You mean it could be as much as 60% more awful?

I am not a US citizen. Can you briefly explain what this skewed ideology and dogma is? There's a touch of scorn in your own comment. I rather like inflammatory articles provided there's some beef to the point being made. I'll leave that ass

How about something not seen until fairly recently? The reply button. In the UK for instance, there is hardly a single newspaper or online magazine that provides this in their 'respond to article' facility. You can post a comment but withou

Asking a question is an indictment? Is your comment considered and sensible?
