oafc0000 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I disagree. I think criticism i the most important thing we have at our disposal. Without criticism, we'd have no fredom of speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've told you before that I earn a living from knowledge. But that's just a job. I seek knowledge for my own inquiry. It's academic and what's more, it's my own bloody choice you cheeky get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Critiscism is a healthy tool.... Doing nothing but criticising is a waste of knowledge though..... Edited August 5, 2008 by worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifi Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 ''In bacteria, to the contrary, sexuality and reproduction are entirely distinct. They reproduce asexually, by simple fission; they have sex non-reproductively, in a furor of genetic exchange. It took a long and painful evolutionary history, stretching over billions of years, to finally link sex and reproduction together. What a strange conceit, to imagine that this linkage is somehow pre-given or 'natural,' inscribed in the very order of things! So no, I won't play culture to your nature; it's time to have done with the whole idea of their distinction.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm sorry, are you saying that Darwin was "wrong" because you can't apply his theory to bacteria in the same way that you can to animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc0000 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nit pick? Excuse my symbolic laughter. He is clearly seen as a heroic cultural icon. Hence, people here seeing him as untouchable. To anyone that reads or has an interest around this topic, this is just daft and I'm sure Darwin would be unhappy about it - not very evolved to think that everything was sussed 150 years ago.
