The dog just shows a very normal fixed action pattern. Dogs will also turn in circles before laying down to "flatten the gras" even on open ground, etc.If you place a ball shaped object before a nesting goose, it will automatically roll the "escaped egg" back into the nest.

You should maybe learn some thing about instinctive behaviour and maybe think about some of your actions, why for example some restaurants have booths or separators between tables so that us cave dwellers can sit with our backs to a secure "wall" even if it is only chest high and made from corrugated cardboard.

*eia not snuff , not any more snuff than watching a video of little kids boarding a plane which the last you saw on the video was the engine sucking in a giant goose and flaming out on takeoff.

I can find 50 more videos on the sift where things ended tragically.

Lay down some solid guidelines and I would be happy to follow them. "Videos where things go bad (even after the video ends) and it makes most people feel really uneasy to watch." ?

Mad props to the guy who stripped down to give skin to skin contact. That is a life saving tactic in so many situations it isn't even funny. You do have to discard many social norms in addition to your clothes to pull it off though.

Also, never stand on ice when trying to save another who's fallen in: You should LAY DOWN on the ice.

I think this'll have to wait until there's some kind of photovoltaic/thermovoltaic asphalt or other wearable textured surface that is cheap to lay down. I'm all for solar roadways but yes I agree the engineering requirements of this concept are a bit out there.

In reply to this comment by Yogi:
After that, just lay down on the ice to keep the swelling down.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! =oD

Biden lays down the BOOM!

Yeah, "Clean Coal" is a sham.

Anyway, against Romney it's a lay down misere.

...and I just found out that 'lay down misere' is only used in Australia and New Zullund. It's a gambling term for a 'sure thing': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay_down_misere

Actually this is how they lay down brick roads.

Not only was your prior argument fallacious, but I refuted it. Now you're ignoring that and cherry picking your replies here. Seems pretty intellectually dishonest to me?

Alright, Ill answer your "refutations" then:

"Why shouldn't you suspect that decay rates could change?"

If you read my post, I explained why : Because there is no evidence that suggest it is changing, and no known physical mechanisms that can produce such change. The moon could suddenly start orbiting the other direction relative to earth tomorrow, but there is no signs, no evidence, that suggests or implies that it will, and also physics dont allow it unless it is pushed or pulled by some very large force etc.
Bottom line, change in the decay rate is an assumption of something for which there is no evidence. Thats why scientists dont waste their time suspecting this.

As for the line "absense of evidence is not evidence of absense". Well thats a poetic thing and all, but its not really true when you think about it for a little bit: for the most part, this is how we exclude things from our reality, and separate what is real or not. It is perfectly consistent to say "I really dont think this thing exist" while remaining, in principle, open minded. There might be green hairy monsters hiding under my bed, I can never know for absolute certain, but I dont THINK so, the absense of evidence convinces me there are none.

The same is true in say, particle physics, there may be thousands of different "higgs-bosons" of different kinds doing all sorts of crazy shit in physics, but again, in the absense of evidence... you cant just build your ideas around fantasies.

Do you know the geologic column doesn't actually exist in reality?
Are you alking about illustrations of the geologic column? Then yeah, I'm aware that it doesnt look like that in real-life, but the term is definately real, and yes, erosion and things like that can expose old layers to fresh air, this is of course well know in biology and geology. When I say fossils are layed down in order, I dont mean that they are all physically on top of eachother, but that the dating of the layers match with the kind of animals found in that era. IE: there are no "fossil rabbits in the pre-cambrian" as one biologist replied when asked what would truly disprove evolution.


Caylor: "Do you believe that the information evolved?"

MB: "George, nobody I know in my profession believes it evolved. It was engineered by genius beyond genius, and such information could not have been written any other way. The paper and ink did not write the book! Knowing what we know, it is ridiculous to think otherwise."

Hahaha, if that was said by an actual molecular biologist capable of finding his own ass, I'll eat my hat. This is so obviously Creo-speak from here on to hell. The first thing an actual biologist would do would be to question the use of the word "information" (I'm assuming he's asking about the information contained in DNA) in this context. Because we refer to DNA as a language and "it contains all the information needed to assemble a human" and so on, Creationists think of DNA as some sort of literary masterpiece, it seems. The truth is of course that its 4 acids spelling 95% repetetive gibberish intersped with some interesting bits that code for proteins and do actual useful stuff.

They also seems to think that (perhaps because they believe it themselves) humans existed from the get-go, and that DNA somehow evolved inside us or some shit like that. (Like one creationist who asked Richard Dawkins how we humans peed before our penises and vaginas evolved..) Anyway, like our penises, our DNA is of course much older than humans themselves, We are simply the latest iterations of a nearly endless line of attemps by nucleic acids to clone themselves by way of making an animal that does the reproduction.

I highly suspect that interview was faked by creationists , but even if it wasnt, it'd just mean that there's a molecular biologist out there who doesnt know fuck all about molecular biology and hold some strange beliefs, and he's wrong. Simple as that.


You then have the obligatory list of quotations, and what can I say?.. I can see how you think these are somehow indicating a plot or something against creationist, but honestly this is just plain quotemining.

Especially unpopular among religious people. It is NOT admirable. It isn't a choice. I just feel that way and so does almost everyone else, they just don't realize it. Most people especially in the USA are taught to hide their emotions, to ignore and to bury so they never learn how to use those feelings intelligently. They get scared for no good reason or when they hurt they attack instead of cry, etc. How much time does the average American spend letting their feelings flow and thinking about what the trigger was or how to react to them vs. the amount of time they spend learning to walk and talk and the cultural stuff while remaining basically emotional infants for their whole lives. No matter how logical and rational you try to be your feelings and emotions will always color the conclusion you come to or the course of action you take so you better get to know yourself better or be at a serious disadvantage and a liability to others.>> ^shinyblurry:

I have boundless love for everyone and every thing. I will speak out against unfairness even if the target is a horribly messed up person. I also don't like taking sides since I see the flaws in people and understand why they act like they act no matter how horrible I feel those actions are. At most I will take the side of love, fairness and truth. A side far too seldom championed.

I think that is admirable, swedishfriend. Here you are following Gods second greatest commandment, which is to love thy neighbor as yourself. This is fundamentally, to see every person as worthy of love and respect. This can be a very unpopular position because of the unforgiveness in peoples hearts. However, hatred, bitterness and unforgiveness for people is like poison that you pour for someone else, but you drink it. These are heavy burdens and destructive to the psyche. Time doesn't heal all wounds, in fact often it makes it worse, but forgiveness is a healing balm which brings a measure of peace to a troubled heart. Forgiveness is an essential component to unconditional love. Unconditional love is sacrificial. Jesus said that man had no greater love than this, that he would be willing to lay down his life for his friends. Do you agree?

Well it is the truth.
Hear is another. Corporations have Millions and Millions of dollars are sitting idle afraid of OBAMA and his policies. If OBAMA wins that money will stay idle or be invested overseas. If OBAMA looses that money will be a title-wave of economic activity the likes we have not seen in years.

If you want a job vote Romney
If you want to keep you job vote Romney.
If you want to loose you job vote Obama.

Obama - Is always the same. Marxist Socialist Muslim loving anti American.
I rather go with a American flip flopper than a Marxist Socialist Muslim loving anti American.

yeah, because that argument is working out so well for the campaign. Why stop there? I think he has a black top hat and a furled mustache too. Damnit Obmaa! quit tying that damsel to the train tracks and cackling maniacally.
So what are you guys going to do when Romney loses? The Republicans have made it their singular goal to get rid of Obama, when that fails, and you know it's going to happen. That really makes the Reps seem impotent, doesn't it.
