Yes very difficult and really a waste of time!
What wouldn't be a waste of time is following someone like you...
I have been wondering if you have a blog of some sort? I would love to follow your thoughts and ideas...!

Also, are you a scientist if so what type of scientist?

Pretty reliable? You might find other sites that go more in depth than Wiki, but I've yet to see a Wiki article - or any information on Wiki - that's misinformed.

You did not answer my questions, and you clearly did not read brimstone's post.
Why should we oblige your request?
And how does the price equation matter to justify animal mass production?

Like i said at the beginning of the section of the comment, please don't answer until you have looked up what the price equation is. The creator died trying to disprove it, it's the least you can do. Once you understand what it means post a reply to this comment on your interpretation.

Are you trolling?
You pretend that other people read what you say, but you don't read what other people write?
I know what the price equation is. Like I said, and I'll repeat, how does that matter with what's morally right and wrong here?
'The creator died trying to disprove it, it's the least you can do.' The least I can do? What?

No hitler was a idiot derived from ager and his country to kill millions of people. The price equation does show the correlation of empathy and its benefit of increasing our numbers and thats how we obtained it. Hitler saw fault in religion where there was none to show. Hitler was a deranged maniac. I have no fault in religion, I will never take a mans life. (Im a pacifist).

As an evolutionary biology student and a working paleontologist-in-training, I'm well-acquainted with the Price equation.

And I can categorically state that you haven't the foggiest notion what the hell you're talking about. You're just throwing out jargon and hoping no one here is smart enough to see through your charade.

BrimstoneSalad already explained why the Price equation can't be used the way you're trying to use it. Go back and read his comments very carefully.

I don't think he's capable of understanding what I wrote...

Look at his reply to my one and only post to him (which will probably be my only post to him):

http://theveganatheist.com/forum/viewto ... f=13&t=293

He clearly stopped reading when he reached a word he didn't know.
He answered a rhetorical question that didn't really need answering, and then ignored the only real and meaningful question I asked him.

Hitler didn't understand evolution either, and the arguments are frighteningly similar.

Take anything Hitler said about the struggle between the races, and how that struggle defines moral duty and that anything is permissible in achieving those ends against other races due to the inherent conflict, and replace "race" with "species", and you more or less have this guy's dogma down.
Only, he's less eloquent than Hitler was.

But certainly he'll learn to use language coherently as he grows older and makes his plan to ensure the supremacy of the master rac-- I mean species.
He's just a Hitler wannabe. New twist on the same old idea.

He also has very similar religious views to Hitler... hmm...
If I believed in reincarnation, I might wonder.

Aside from Typos, I have found, I think, three mistakes or problems in the past ten years which would have been unlikely in a text book.

One time, part of an article accidentally said something had a negative heat of solution when it meant positive... or was it positive when it meant negative?
It had the correct heat of solution in the other part of the article, somebody just got mixed up while writing it and comparing it to something else in context.

There was another time, where the way something was worded was highly biased. I pointed it out on this forum. I consider that a mistake.
Here it is: http://theveganatheist.com/forum/viewto ... ?f=7&t=214
Still there- so, that's a pretty glaring error.

Another was a fringe Philosophy article, where an opposing(orthodox) view was not well/completely represented.
It wasn't a large or popular article though, and something most people ignore- so, understandably so. It would have misled people if they only read what was originally there due to the incomplete, one sided argument -- and since that side was wrong, consequentially an assertion of false information.

I wouldn't call it that!
I'd say I have a great deal of appreciation towards him, for helping me with my fluoride fears, also I can tell he knows a lot of knowledge and I respect him more for his higher intelligence.

Superlol" We our at the top of our food chain, and we our aloud to do anything as long as it dosnt put our survival at risk.
Meat consumption is actually damaging the survival rate for humans so if you want to argue that we should choose a diet that supports human well being I think the diet that has the capability to feed more humans and cause less environmental damage that ultimately harms more humans IE veganism would be the better option. Also this whole might makes right argument makes me incredibly uncomfortable as it has been used to oppress countless groups of human animals and non human animals. I want to see your sources.
