[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4818661, member: 63706"] Science is not a matter of consensus. Being told what to believe can be. There is not an overwhelming majority of scientists that believe that, you have fallen for, and continue to mindlessly perpetuate, absolute myths, like in a religion. It doesn't matter what any scientist believes, all that matters is the data. And, please, go ahead and explain to me the "pro-smoking" argument I fell for. Right, you simply accept the easiest to access information that seems to support what you are told to believe. Not very scientific. And I've explained why those articles are most likely wrong. Every one of those things you state that you seem to think make Australia a better country have no quantitative value, except more vacation. I could point out that they have a higher per capita crocodile population, and are closer to the ozone hole, and the highest variety of venomous snakes. So what? [/QUOTE]
