• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Dude, when I asked you the three basic rock types, you couldn't even name metamorphic as one of them. Low grade meaning they have various contaminants or compose of a relatively lower percentage of each rock mass gathered than whatever arbitrary standard is considered to be "high grade". Low grade diamonds are often used in drills, for example, because they are strong enough despite their impurities to be useful in that regard, but far too low grade to put into jewelry. I am uncertain about this, but I have always assumed that this sort of grading was relative to each material in question rather than a standard applied to all rocks.

Sorry, you do not know what are you talking about.
Metamorphic rocks have "grades". High, median, low, and very low. They are terms for contents, not quality.

Yes, they have taken some out - examples have already been given to you by loudmouth on this same thread.

Experiments done on animals are basically meaningless. Not immediately lying dead does not mean the removed gene is useless.

Um, humans are animals, so even experiments on humans would be "experiments on animals".

Did you read the papers LM provided? You can see from those papers that they did much more than just assess whether or not it was lying dead.


If I removed a useless gene from you, you might simply become a different person.


Rrrrright. OK Juvi, why do you think that?


Was there a case that someone volunteered for such a test?

OK, now it's obvious that you have no intention of having a serious conversation (or are completely clueless about animal birth), since a gene must be removed prior to implantation - a time when informed consent would be difficult, even for higher primates.

Experiments done on animals are basically meaningless.

Funny how you just threw out the majority of medical research.

Not immediately lying dead does not mean the removed gene is useless.

Living a normal life indistinguishable from others repeatedly, does.

If I removed a useless gene from you, you might simply become a different person.

No.

Was there a case that someone volunteered for such a test?

:doh:
