Bush Condemns S. Korea Stem Cell Advances

[Beet]

Of course if it was October 2004 he would praise the advances. The man would do anything to get re-elected or help himself in politics. Its only now that he doesn't have to worry about it.

The fact that Christopher Reeves didn't give a flip about the handicapped before he was himself doesn't improve my opinion of him much anyway...

Amazing point, Ebowed. Christopher Reeve is the devil. Let's all join the "I HATE Christopher Reeve" Club. Thank you Ebowed.

[Beet]

Ebowed, I had read that before he died, then afterwards I remembered it and went back to check...and sho'nuf!

LOL

The cult of Christopher Reeve hating continues. Let us make a voodoo doll now, please

[Beet]

tf, no one's saying they hate the guy, its just hard to take his personal motives seriously if he didn't care about the handicapped until he was one.

Sure, it was great of him to pursue reform - much better than just sitting still on the issue (no pun intended); I just don't think he deserved his idolatry status.

Dude, you realize everything he has done comes solely from the fact that he is a celebrity right? All celebrities have idolatry status. But he has idolatry status on that site alright--idolatry of hatred.

[Beet]

So he was just as famous and beloved before his accident?

...

Also, OK, so we all know everyone's selfish...I'm trying to see what part of Reeves's selfishness deserved worldwide praise.

No, he's a celebrity with a personal drama. Was O.J. just a famous before 1995?

[Beet]

Do more or fewer people think of OJ as a hero since 1995?

Look at what OJ was known for. The point is, celebrity + personal drama = potent mix

[Beet]

And I don't think anyone's denying that.

Well if your complaint is that he gets undue attention I agree and the reason is obvious. It afflicts all those in a similiar situation, not unique to him in any way. I just find the casual hatred to be amusing.

Research just moves over to the states. Thankfully this is one area where the states have some sovereignty.

Religion has always been a threat to scientific progress.

That's an odd statement, considering that the only scientists for about 1000 years in Europe were monks.

Yeah, and looked what they accomplished in those 1000 years (400-1400).

If they were so smart, why was their main task to preserve others' work?

[Beet]

thefactor, would you have thought back then to preserve old documents?  Would you have realized their value?

Heck, I still have my Calculus text book from 4 years ago. Of course.
