tonight (sunday, 13th may) at 20:00 on bbc 2 ... for neanderthal believers, agnostics and deniers.. this first programme in a two-part series investigates what neanderthals looked like and and how they lived in their ice age world.
it turns out that almost everything we thought we knew about them is wrong.
they weren't hunched, grunting, knuckle-dragging ape-men at all.
EQV - Is THAT your challenge to the science of genetics? Really?
Home testing for ancestry is bullshit - sorry to all the people above in this thread who shared their 'results'.
It's almost as silly as people reading their horoscopes and then criticising the Hubble telescope because the predictions didn't come true.
Read some actual science books FFS. The pride you take in your wilful ignorance is embarrassing.
These sorts of visual/audio stimuli are a recent development in the evolution of the Western Way of Life. Is it really any wonder that some youth choose to "act out" what they've seen? - Old Navy
The evidence shows no such connection between violent entertainment and violence in the real world.

Russia is a CoE member state and is under jurisdiction of the ECtHR
It is but it has passed laws allowing it to ignore all judgements by the court that affect human rights. As of a few months ago it was reported to be considering full withdrawal.

I know they like to appeal to the european courts
Russia isn't in Europe.
Every school in the USA ought to have at least one armed guard.
You put armed guards in all your banks to protect banknotes don't you?
when meghan markle says her royal wedding vows to prince harry on saturday, she’ll be following in the footsteps of princess diana and kate middleton by choosing to omit the traditional promise to “obey” her husband, the palace confirms.. during the ceremony, officiated by archbishop of canterbury justin welby, meghan will tell her royal groom: “i meghan, take you, harry, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to god’s holy law.
in the presence of god i make this vow.”.
the decision doesn’t come as a surprise: meghan has long been a vocal feminist, working with organizations like one world vision to learn about the challenges facing women and girls living in dubai and mumbai.
The Royal wedding will be all finished before the FA cup final kicks off at 5:15.
Brilliant weather - a good day for the UK.

despite the fact that respected international human rights organizations have condemned their actions
But Russia/Putin doesn't care.
Appealing to values of universal human rights, personal freedoms and liberal democracy is to miss the point completely. In Russia these things are not even virtues. Putin - and millions of his ardent supporters - is motivated by Eurasian nationalism and collectivism. The Russian Orthodox church is an very important part of that and any group that refuses to join the party will be suppressed.
JWs are not important enough to any western government for them to receive any meaningful support against Russia. Writing letters to Russian officials about religious freedom is as useful as writing to Hitler about multiculturalism.
Things will never get better for JWS under Putin.
