The rising irreligion in Britain is pleasing, but the widespread popularity of 'Alternative' medicine (i.e. methods of healing that are backed up with no scientific evidence, things like chanting, drinking 'special' water, sleeping underneath 'special' lights etc.) is stupidly high.

There's a video for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdUkj8Pb624

I became suspicious with the polar bear,then the phrase 'half a decade' to make 5 years sound like a long time. Got bored when that neanderthal started rapping. ( I hate rap) Never did work out what kind of snake oil they're selling.

Quite a fitting article - even here there are forces constantly at work, urging us to put back on the cloak of ignorance

Some good statistics at the end, although how unbiased is a survey done by the dawkins foundation?

[Tiberius]

Good stats apart from the abortion one. :-S

"And a further 62% were in favour of a woman's right to have an abortion within the legal time limit."

Do you think this is too high or too low a %?

[Tiberius]

It's too high by precisely 62 percentage points.

[Chuff]

So you think that no women should be allowed to have an abortion.

Interesting.

Generally, I believe women should have the choice to decide what happens with their own body (and the rest of their life)

Generally, I'm against the death penalty, especially if it applies to innocent humans.

I have never studied the issue in great enough detail to argue my stance with much conviction, but I do know people who have been through it and I know for them, at the time it was the right choice.
