Guys, I am sorry to jump in this brito-american debate but I feel from an neutral stand point that this looks like all against Debbie ... becoming all Americans against Debbie ... because she dares going against outrageous affirmations ... which seems to be, her, main stream thinking. If you took the time to read her arguments and respond on them instead of using below waste techniques all this would be far more interesting. Wake up ... if you want to make historical analogies, more recent in time, this looks pretty much the same arguments than Hitler was pushing forward. Biasing scientifical results to suits own ideology. Provocation is good to open debates, but it needs to be scientifically argumented. I too have been missing the list but I am kind of desapointed, since it came back online: all but 1 (ok may be 2) posts on this thread was more about feelings and suppositions that science and fact. So guys stay focused please!

I think just about says it all. If he wishes to ignore the scientific evidence to advance his own personal beliefs then that's entirely his choice. I hadn't realised he was British. It's perhaps not surprising that he's ended up in America. He would find much less tolerance of his views over here.

My dear distant cousin Nicolas, I address you this way because you are on this forum. But Nicolas, you need some work with your English. I see the quote, "using below waste techniques, " Do you mean waist for waste? So who is using such techniques? Could it be you who totally from out of the blue says that people who are pushing for freedom to read and make independent judgements are pushing Hitler's agenda? Give me a break!
