Santorum blames ‘abortion culture’ for Social Security woes

They don't. You just stretch their conclusions a bit. Quite a bit.

Typical denier logic.

[Zero Sum 305]

In layman's terms, existence of a gene (genes) for general laziness is about as likely as existence of a second moon near the Earth or Loch-Ness monster in modern days. I can not prove they don't exist, and not very interested either - as it is a bit futile.

There is a good old Russian joke: someone asks a man, to estimate the probability that he will meet a dinosaur on his way to work tomorrow... Man says 1/100,000,000. Okay.

Someone asks a woman the same question. She says 50%. What??? How???? She says, well, either I will meet it or not. So 50% it is.

Indeed, speaking a little bit more candidly, I wouldn't say that there would exist a lazy gene, but perhaps a mutation in an energy-expenditure gene that would result in decreased motivation for energy-expenditure, behaviorally or physiologically.

Typical denier logic.

Sometimes reading is important.

Super fun at any age. Angry people that pay credence to angry politicians should play more and live happier, longer lives.

Well, since we all know there aint no second moon, and we all know Nessie is real, I guess this is your highfalutin way of sayin it's 50/50.

It's like Ely Whitney said " If your trying to get to Chicago don't stop off in St. louis for tea". Sometimes it's best to just say what you mean.

Any way you define it, there's a genetic marker which determines who will be beautiful according to the definition.

I pustulated the existence of the Beauty gene while Rico was still in diapers. Due to my relatively small Ambyitious gene I decided to let the grunts and lab assitants locate it.

As a matter of fact I'm supposed to be painting my hallway right now.

I've already pulled some strings at HUGO and once they find it, we will call it the Ambeauty gene.

Better than Ambesity

Good one Mark, there's already a gene. It's called FTO
