All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Good advice for both of your points.

1. Don't poke a dog with a stick.
2. Pick up the shit.

People are arguing against banning Luis Suarez?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Dogs should be banned?

Yesterday, while I was taking a walk by the harbor, a vicious white dog suddenly barked in my direction. Within seconds it was chasing me down the lenght of the harbor and I was running for my life. I never knew I could run that fast but I managed to emerge from the incident, unscathed. This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to me; in fact as a little kid dogs have attacked me on many occasions throughout various cities around the world.


The problem seems to be your fear rather then they are a threat.

You running is what caused the chase. It's a normal reaction Prey.

I also cannot stand the sight of dog droppings on the sidewalk.


The people are the cause of that. Well for dogs that have owners.

I have come to the conclusion that dogs should be banned. And its not just because I personally don't like them. Here are some reasons why it would benefit public policy to outlaw them.


No. It's because of your issues. But, let's look.

1. They are dangerous


*snip*

Sure any animal can be a danger. Any dog can bite. Especially, if you are going to panic around them. Here is a hint. Don't panic; don't run and most of all don't blink.

As to some of your comments? Bite fingers off? Maiming?, disease?. Bit irrational.

2. The Dog Droppings


*snip*

Yes they are annoying. Owners(at least around where I am) tend to clean up after their animal. But seriously damages over that? Irrational.

So as to banning over your fears? Denied *bump*

My advice is to talk to somebody over your fears. That's getting you more in trouble then killer dogs waiting to get you.
*I am a master proofreader after I click Submit.
* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania
* Silence Is Golden But Duct Tape Is Silver.
* I felt like Ayn Rand cornered me at a party, and three minutes in I found my first objection to what she was saying, but she kept talking without interruption for ten more days. - Max Barry talking about Atlas Shrugged
