Everyone needs to watch this, just the simple facts between the two sides as they themselves essentially believe (not an attack).

It's so facinating how the liberal/anti-mormon has no character....

You prove yet again everything I say about you people, just personal attacks VAST amounts of them personal attacks only, not actually dealing with the subject matter in question. Then when I fully admit I also often personally attack, but ALSO ONLY do so when also adressing subject matter, that I don't just post personally attacking posts like you just did and worse, I'm somehow "lying" etc. etc. Of course, you're the one lying by "omiting" my qualification also.

If you have nothing to contribute or desire to.... ever heard of just shutting your mouth?

by the way, you people constantly posting that crap is called I believe "Thread Derailing".... and such is a common "faux pas" with forums.

I'm contributing..... this is a discussion forum. People post threads to discuss things.
Just because you don't like what I say doesn't change the fact.

You people on the other hand like I've said only contribute some 5% of the time (with some personal attacks often thrown in), while ONLY personally attacking like you did about some 95% of the time. Again, why are you on a dicussion forum if you don't want to discuss and argue issues?
Me in contrast, 99.9% of the time, I post information and argument (with some personal attacks thrown in), and NEVER ONLY post a personal attack on someone all by itself (unless in direct response to such an attack).

So again, if you don't want to "discuss".... then shut up. Derailing threads is not proper forum etiquette.

ADAM Munn has spent months capturing farts from kangaroos.

And don’t worry, there’s a really good reason for it.

The Aussie biologist’s unenviable research into kangaroo farts may have disproved a theory about methane gas in animals and could help inform new efforts to fight climate change ...

You haven't posted anything about it, but i'm guessing English is your second language. I salute you, you do pretty well.


I've worked hard to learn Spanish , but haven't come nearly as close.

Not an attack? I am not interested in attacking you. I do not agree with any of these little opinion pieces. Is there something to discuss?

Change must be both in individuals and in social structures not just one or the other.
I am aware of painful truths. People can be bad to others when poor or rich. There are people both poor and rich who learn to be good to others..

How do I judge America? You have to put blinders on not to realize it is a mixed bag. There are wonderful things in America. There have been horrible things in America. You have to be a child to be too young not to accept the responsibility of thinking of the reality of both.

Does it do good? I have followed American politics for enough decades to know that all sides seek to find policy with does good. All sides are also sometimes guilty of falling back into the laziness of accepting just what feels good.

As a liberal I believe in separation of powers, limited government. It does however need to be big enough to decide certain conflicts such as do we have slavery or not.

I want my government to be big enough to effectively deal with the problems that individuals or small groups of people can't
