In regards to #2, the statement was about what CAN be done, not about what SHOULD be done. Cloning is a very dangerous science with our rudimentary understanding of DNA and will continue to be so for generations to come.
And no...brain size does not mean more intelligence. Look at whales. Look at elephants. Both have tremendous massive brains. Both are exceptionally stupid. Look at dolphins. Look at pigs. They have far smaller brains and are FAR more intelligent.
There is no wrong or right way of expressing one's emotions. You have to release your emotional buildup somehow. This is why I am often seen as an angry person...I beat the mental conditioning that says that "men must harbor their emotions"...I wear my emotions on the outside I won't harbor them like most men do...I'll explode in your face. If the words in my posts over the last few years aren't proof of that, I don't know what is. Crying may not be the best way of letting it out, but it IS a way of letting it out. Men tend to have different ways of letting it out, such as washing their car, beating up other men in a good game of football...or beating the living shyte out of their wife, kids, and the family dog. Actually, this is why there is a far wider gap in the amount of domestic violence...since men are conditioned to hold it all in, eventually they snap and take out all that pent up aggression on others...and the easiest prey are their wife and kids. Women have already dealt with the emotions, hence why there are far fewer female domestic abusers. Doesn't mean there are none, and I can tell you a horror story or two about women I've been with who've been very violent. But later for that.
And that was quite the low blow at the end, dude. You were going good until that point. That was just plain low. And for the record...Rhiannon and I are both VERY schooled in biology. Rhiannon was in pre-vet in Mayaguez, the most prestigious medical college in the Carribean, and I was a Harvard Medical Journal fanatic for six years and worked as a medical transcriptionist for quite awhile.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.
