Well Artoo I dont even know you so why you would be wanting to fight with me or assume that I was trying to with you is beyond me... and until now I dont think I have even posted to you before...at least not as a member called Artoo...

I believe I already stated in in earlier post what I thought of what the Clonaid site was saying, particularily my feelings on the immoral front...I am sorry if in some way my lack of knowledge on this subject or understanding is offensive to you...and I am very sorry that I got the sheeps name wrong, but before I read the Clonaid site I thought that clonning was a good Idea and valuble to our medical future in many areas.

Also, I dont think it's possible to have worldwide tolerance and harmony with or without the LGM... it doesnt even seem possible to have it here right now in this thread... you are entitled to all your opinions Artoo and I am sure many of them will be worthwhile and valid ones... I am just confused as to why already in more than one thread just in this forum your telling/recommending as to how the forum moderators should do there job.... is that harmony? or for a desire there-in?

Its obvious your an intelligent man Artoo... but to use intelliegence as a sole purpose to belittle another only makes you stupid

I will leave this thread now and you can loby for whatever you want with it and the other ones I have started in the wrong forums...good luck to you

oh and welcome to Scotland.com I hope you enjoy your stay here

You misunderstand me - I think you're right about cloning. It's a good thing - it's just that these Clonaid people are hi-jacking it for their own religious and commercial purposes. I smell a scam. And I've sure that KfC is a victim rather than a perp.

Well, I suggested the 'Science' forum about a year ago here (as RDT2), even offered to mod it, then got fed up with some mods allowing religious nuts to go off-topic and ply their wares as science (I mod several other boards - as indeed do many of the members here). See http://www.sciforums.com (physics and maths) for a good policy on pseudo-science.

Not 'solely' but I'm not having mumbo-jumbo masquerading as science. I'll fight that anywhere and I've been doing it for a long time. Otherwise there's no hope for us.

Thanks - genuinely.

You two battling it out is a bit disturbing, but I understand your problems. I'm not trying to convert anyone here. Just trying to make you guys aware of what is out there and what will have an impact in the future. I respect both of your viewpoints very much. I'm so glad this thread got so much attention and debate! Knowledge is power after all. Thank you for sharing your beliefs and views!

[i]Aye.. this is a discussion board.. and not everything.. Thank the Gods.. lol.. will be agreed on by all.. could you image how boring this site would be if everyone agreed on the same thing?.. In Fact.. in saying that.. could you image how boring life would be.. if all ya had to do to have a child was GROW ONE??

I understand that your not trying to convert anyone here.. but that site (I still stand by my original word) is not true.. And I am not saying that this is not possible one day.. all I am saying is the Gods will have to help us if it is.. You are right... Knowledge is power.. and certainly in the wrong hands.. TROUBLE..

I agree with Mistress, KfC. Many people, especially in the west, are looking for something that is missing in their lives and there is any number of charlatans willing to step in and provide it. Just look at the expansion in the 'new age' section of the bookshops - all of it pure drivel. Some of my friends make money out of 'real' astrology and have convinced themselves and others that, because they have pages covered with calculations and obscure symbols, that they're engaging in science. They're deluding themselves - and it's a dangerous delusion that removes responsibility from individuals and puts it on the planets. Or a god.

Moi?

But now that C.J has agreed to help mod R+P, I'll be dropping in there more often. Just to toast marshmallows on the flames.

Off to the Lit forum now - this is becoming exhausting.
