What AquaBlue is saying here is that he hasn't bothered reading the book. He's probably referring to his skimming of The God Delusion as The Greatest Show On Earth is a cataloguing of the evidence that supports the theory of evolution. It's not anti-American at all. As Dawkins says in the...

Nice. I was dipping into this recently.

Actually, if we go back to the thread where we got this statistic, it's a more troubling reality. 39 percent that do believe in the theory of evolution, which leaves a staggering 61 percent are given over to scientific ignorance and/or dismissal.

My next semester has me doing both Quantitative Business Modelling and Financial Planning & Decision Making for Managers. After that, I've no idea as I've just changed degree two years in and I've to register my interest shortly, but I've not reviewed the options.

I would doubt it.

If you don't understand what's being said, here's a tip. Don't post. No wonder you get people's backs up. You dive into threads while not understanding them and you make yourself look silly. Read the thread, take a breath, and if you don't understand, don't feel inclined to post. Move on. That's...

This is what you believe? If there's been a healthy talk on this thread, it's the result of everyone else's efforts. You do not engage with anyone on this thread; you do not read what others says; you do not answer what others ask. What you do is shout, apropos of nothing, into the ether. That's...

I probably did. I don't remember writing it and, looking at the time - 03:11, my time - I had just got home, having been at a free bar since 17:00. Had the second worst hangover ever, today. The first was day two of Oktoberfest. I've just looked at the actual 'dumb things Americans believe'...

As I said, that's beside the point. We're discussing Fox's omission of the conflicting interests of its shareholder.

Right, you are obviously having a hard time understanding what you are gibbering about. Let me make it easier for you. Firstly, there is nothing wrong with building a mosque on the site of Ground Zero. Because a small number of people conspired to destroy some buildings and take lives does...

Aristotle? I doubt he knew any better. If anyone's spinning in their grave, in this context, it's Galileo.

Who are they, the Mosleys? There's a vast difference between British left/right and US left/right, in that the British central ground is probably nearer where the US left begins.

BBC News 24. The BBC has a strict non-partisan obligation, so it can swing neither one way or another politcally, and therefore maintains neutrality. If we want the news, that's the way it should be delivered, and not with some political motive attached highlighting or suppressing pertinent...

Populated it.

This is, quite possibly, the funniest thing I've seen today. And delivered with no hint of irony. Even funnier.

If I were to pick it up in a book store then I would rarely read the opening page, but instead do the McLuhan Test on it, which is to say I would read page sixty-nine. The logic behind this is that writers may well put the effort into getting their punchy opening captivating the reader, but the...

I aim to please. Hope it helps.

It's dull, ripe with cliche (the dreams! the dreams!), and lacks readability through poor word choices. Plus, that second paragraph is wrong. I can see what you're trying to say, but you're not saying it. Why? Well, because for someone who does this act regularly, as the text implies, the...

Whenever you want. I gave up on The Fellowship of The Ring, with just one chapter to read.

What was this critic's name? Is the review available online? What about bricks and mortar bookstores? Who was the publisher? Looking back at the thread, it seems the feedback you got was very constructive. Namely, spelling is important, grammar is important, and nine pages do not a novel make.
