Is this a science test? No, I think it is merely a diversion because you can't refute any of the statements which I backed up with references. Can you?



Translation: You won't because you can't.



What has that got to do with the price of beer?



Do I now need to give you an economics lesson? It's called "supply and demand"--
You can read all about it here:

If you're referring to tax breaks to beef producers-- yes, that does partially influence the price of beef. For example, when Mad Cow was discovered in Washington in 2004, the house and senate offered temporary relief to the beef industry.... and in 2006, tax relief for livestock producers during the drought.



So where are all of your references?



No, we're not starving.. instead, we're being exposed to all kinds of hormones and antibiotics being injected into beef. There is also very little testing being done for mad cow.



Again, what has that got to do with the price of beer?



And your point? How does this relate to cloning, or are we just going on yet another pointless diversion because you have not been able to refute any of the points I made?



And that just answers my question. When someone feels the need to attack the poster rather than the subject.. that simply means that the person doing the attacking doesn't have a leg to stand on in a debate.
You've used a handful of sources to "prove" your point. Can't you, at least in a reasoned manner, discuss the topic with someone who has the credentials to discuss the topic? Also, if someone knows the field, do they need to quote another expert, or shouldn't they just be able to stand on their own experience? Or are you just going to listen to people who agree with you?

Additionally, the "Am I supposed to be impressed..." line sounds like an attack to me. How can you chastise others when you are doing the attacking?

She wasn't trying to give you a "science test," she was trying to explain the process of cloning to you.
