That there are other sentient, life-loving beings on this planet who have as much a right to it as we do.

I don't know when I was just a kid back in grade school the threat of a hack sure kept me in line it also teaches you that the world is a mean place and if you do wrong it will hurt you it's just a lesson in reality I'm not saying you should beat a child I'm saying that a SWAT on the ass will change a young man's mind

Oh I have one magic wand on order.....I just haven't received it yet ???

Compound answer: To recognize what a (faith) belief without evidence, claim is and be able to fully appreciate the total lack of merit any faith based claim should have in evaluating truth; To recognize faith asserted as truth is dishonest.

We (well 12 of us) did go to the moon. There are too many people here (north west England) who love to say, 'We never went' then add nothing to back that up. In support of my statement I refer people to Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy web site which is full of good and easy to read information.

I'd like people to realise that it's possible, and indeed perfectly ok, to change one's opinion when presented with a better alternative. For example, during a recent meeting at work I put forward a suggestion to which I'd given a lot of thought and which would have been viable. A colleague then put forward her own suggestion which I could immediately see was better than my own, being equally likely to work but far easier to put into place - so I immediately switched my position, dropped my suggestion and supported hers. Several people, including the colleague whose suggestion I was now backing, found this very funny and I asked why. "You just said something completely different two minutes ago!" they said. So I explained - "Yes I did, but Helene's suggestion is better than mine, so I've changed my mind." Based on the several seconds of silent, blank stares that followed, it seems the very concept that it's possible to do that was completely alien and came as something of a shock.
