What is wrong with people.

Well, global warming advocates claim their "science" is also peer-reviewed. By the way, The Heritage Foundation, while conservative, is not the end all and be all of conservatism. Their studies are just as valid as any study, even studies you cite. Your liberalism is showing.

Peer reviewed doesn't matter if the data was faked.

Never claimed to be conservative but the Heritage foundation is as valid as those that put out ID. Lol

None of it matters though because these studies are not proof of anything. These studies fall all over the map. That's the problem with soft sciences.

That's why your claim is bunk and the studies, which you haven't cited, are probably bunk as well.

ummm...Isn't one of the points of peer review to validate the authenticity of the data...:uhoh:

Peer review is important to liberals because they love majority rule. It they can get enough people to...let's say...vote for a man who will take away your right to freely participate (or not) in commerce, then it is OK what he did. Conversely, something that sufficient people don't get behind can't possibly be good, even if it is right.

Well, technically, that is what peer-review is supposed to determine, is the data faked or not.

I pointed out that you are a liberal because of your THF comment, obviously me pointing out that you are a liberal is redundant on my part.

I made no specific claim that could be classified as bunk regarding the OP. I made a general claim that THF and any studies they produce are just as valid as any other organizations study, even organizations that you support.

There is no forum rule that is violated for not "citing to authority" on a question regarding the impacts of "good/bad" parenting on the "what's wrong with people" OP.

I just realized the moderators deleted one of my posts in this thread.

I'm not particularly thrilled with the UK. They allow surveillance cameras everywhere, they don't allow real gun ownership, and they have limited civil liberties ... they fought the Nazis in WWII but their society is soon going to be similar to the Nazis.

Looking for sympathy for UK-ers ... look somewhere else my friend. That country has gone downhill in the last 30 yrs. And now our politicians look to them for guidance...

There is little debate about the decline in the country that we used to call Breat Britain, and now just refer to as England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. But there is nothing going on over there under government policy/program that even begins to compare with what the policys of, let alone the programs carried out under the National Democratic Socialist Workers Party. Making a gratuitous comparison is wrong on so many levels.

Oh, I don't know. Have you seen how many industries they've nationalized? As in fascism? They're not looking to conquer Europe, nor gassing or baking minorities, but the lack of similarity in some areas doesn't cancel the irony in others.

The country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Great Britain being the island on which England, Wales, and Scotland are located. Ireland and Northern Ireland are on Little Britain.

Good point.

That place has a rich history. I recommend the video series on YouTube by David Starkey. He starts with a mention of Roman occupation and viking incursions, when England was a bunch of little kingdoms. He really picks up with Kings Ethelbert and Offa 700's AD. Very interesting. Did you know there was almost a Queen Matilda? She felt she had a claim to the throne, and got military backing from the continent. After a few years of marching around England and winning no fights decisively, she gave up and sailed back to the continent.

There is another interesting documentary about the illegitimacy of medieval Edward IV. Apparently even his mother acknowledged he was a ***stard, but too late. A church attendance record (Brits keep everything forever) shows his father out of the country for the period when he his conception would need to occur. The researcher traced the family trees and tracked down the fellow who really should be the current king of England. A fanciful activity since you can't foresee which of the heirs would die or live or have children if things were different. But, interesting nonetheless.

Overall I find English history interesting because it puts our common law, and particularly our rights in perspective. For example, our right against self-incrimination is directly tied to controversy surrounding church and government. As an interesting side note, did you know we owe our right against self-incrimination partly to lawyers? Yep, when The Inquisition and its oaths tried to arrive from the continent, England already had a thriving legal system based on the common law. The Inquisition tried to establish a separate legal system, and to a certain extent it did, but it was the common law lawyers who fought it. It was invading their turf, you understand.

Episode 1 of Starkey's series is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4L675hROFE Its heartening to see that local war leaders were chosen by their village--leadership by consent.
