Ev-love

----I know where that name is from :)

This was rather uplifting, which I never thought I would ever say about a conservative political event.

That metal hook...

...is testament to the power of confirmation bias.

Just incredible.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons?

This sounds too interesting to be true!

So will this offend the sensibilities or confirm the beliefs of the God-botherers? I can no longer guess.

Wooah hold those horses..

I just saw David Attenborough being interviewed on Breakfast TV in the UK. He was asked about how he felt about this being his last show and he said......

...that it was nonsense, he planned to make many more shows and in fact he was working on one new programme at the moment.
The subject? Evolution :)

6. Ayaan Hirsi Ali asks for protection

I agree with previous comment.
'Controversial' suggests a source of REASONABLE argument.
It's not controversial to say the KKK are a racist organization, Evolution is not really a controversial scientific theory, and it's not controversial to say many jews were persecuted in WWII.
The line should read something like:

...Submission - a film that ignited violent threats for daring to highlight the abuse of women under Islam.

Surely "alleging" is not needed by any sane report of the situation?

What a great day.
I wished I had more than 5 minutes to spend on mine, it looks rather shoddy next to the others! Still really proud to be part of this event.

Happy DD everyone
