[Ed Anger]

I'm the winner in this thread. For not arguing this stupid shit.

[Martinus]

Anyway, I must commend miglia for his resilience, even if arguing with grumbler is like arguing with a dirty old pig.

Is grumbler haram or halal?

I wouldn't eat Grumbler.  He's way past his due date.

I'm gonna need a cite on that one.  Evolution generally takes place over thousands, and tens of thousands, of generations.  You are talking about events that occurred within the last twenty to thirty generations.

Not at all.  Evolution happens all the time.  That said, significant evolutionary change, even within a species, is usually at minimum in the hundreds of generation ranges.

Can we introduce a rule against arguing with posts line by line, the way grumbler does? It makes the entire thread unreadable.

No.  Because you want it.

No.  Because you want it.

What if we simulataneously make a rule against making replies as you read the thread, ending up with 5 or 6 consecutive posts saying almost exactly the same thing?

Outraged, no doubt.

Indeed, breeding dogs wouldn't be feasible if evolution was something that took place over thousands and tens of thousands of generations.


Lactose tolerance only came about quite recently (after agriculture and animal husbandry) and yet 95% of swedes are now lactose tolerant.

[CountDeMoney]

and yet 95% of swedes are now lactose tolerant.

Really? Another fucking weird Swede thing.

Highest prevalence of lactose tolerance in the world; some try to explain it by hypothesizing there was a separate evolution of lactose tolerance in Sweden
