'Googlebomb' blows up in Daily Mail hack's face

Daily Mail lies

From the Mail - "No comments have so far been submitted. Why not be the first to send us your thoughts?"

Bullshit. Comments have been submitted, the Mail have just decided not to publish them.

I know this is just a light-hearted story but it really annoys me that the Mail frequently do not publish innocuous comments they receive if it doesn't fit in with their world view. It creates a bias amongst their readers whereby they think everyone else agrees, because it appears that nobody has offered contrary comments.

Rant over, and thank you to the Reg mods for allowing dissent amongst user comments. You twats.

God makes you stupid, researchers claim

Religion teaches a lack of critical thinking.

@anon coward "In short - the knowledge implied here isn't about the ability to discern between good and evil. It's about the ability for Adam and Eve to make that decision for themselves, effectively ignoring God completely, for which God (if you believe the message of the book containing this quote) made his beings mortal."

Yep, like I said, religion teaches a lack of critical thinking. Here's what you should know, don't question it. Questioning is wrong. Do what you are told and don't think about why.

@Jason The Saj, nobody had mentioned apples until you did. Out of interest, what fruit was it? How do you know it wasn't an apple?

Religion teaches a lack of critical thinking.

Lesson 1: don't eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge.

Brown opts for morality over science on 'lethal skunk'

The real danger of cannabis

is in the smoking. Fumes from burning substances are never healthy to inhale. Stronger forms of cannabis reduce this danger as less total material is required. Never mind that "skunk" isn't as strong as some of the hash that's been around since Westerners first started taking this drug.

Brown has said this is about sending a message to users that cannabis is unacceptable. That is not what this is really about, that was always the message even now while it is class C. This move will make no difference to users. This is about sending a message to middle England and the Daily Mail.
