    New Scientist is such a rag. You can't trust any report you read there.

    Sorry, but Fivebells is right.
    I hate to say it, but it's a highly questionable source of information.

    Not keen to be sad, keen to see things clearly. Most of the sadness in my life has come from willful ignorance.

    You claim that they are unreliable, and then use them to support your claims.

    Err No. They are unreliable, that doesn't mean they are all false. Same with the New Scientist and everything else.

    Doubt Everything you read, be your own light.

    I refuse to engage in point scoring with you Ren. I wont get sucked in again to another cycle of your negativizing chat.

    I need to be stricter on myself to keep my time her to Dharma rather than let my ego out of the box:)

    If you have a question about Dharma I am all ears:)

    You pointed out what you thought were inconsistencies in the statements of someone else. I pointed out the inconsistency in your statements. How was what I was doing different from what you were doing?

    In what sense is pointing out the contradictions in your statements negativizing chat? And why is it _my_ negativizing chat when you issued a general invitation to this type of exchange by beginning it with other posters?
