Full Battle Rattle posted:Uh, yeah, changing an organisms genome to contain a change that might have happened in 10,000 generations (or possibly never at all) overnight is slightly more complicated than cross-breeding. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be a relatively recent development. But that's not true; we actually tend to do a lovely job at reproducing processes that occur naturally all the time. As an example, photosynthesis has been a naturally-occurring process for plants and plant-like organisms around the world for millions of years, yet artificial photosynthesis is still a hot topic of research because we're actually kind of lovely at artificially producing this totally natural and "simple" process. Another example: growing a human liver is a pretty humdrum and boring process until you're asked to do it in an artificial way. Arguably, changing a single gene in a species is a far simpler process than attempting to invoke that change over 10,000 breeding attempts. The variable space alone is far larger in the latter than the former; any number of other things could happen along the way. Selectively modifying a gene is a much more controlled and accurate process, even if it's difficult.

How long do I have to wait until GOPers start calling Bernie Sanders the antichrist? Do we need to have a debate first or something?

The Nastier Nate posted:Trump's business ventures are a lot more palatable to the American public than Romney. Regardless of the finances behind the scenes, most American's will see Trump Tower, Trump Taj-Mahal and Trump golf courses and believe he has built (or at least owns and operates) assets with tangible value. Romney was seen as just buying and selling failing companies and not giving a poo poo what happens to them. Except that his casinos were failing over a decade before any of that happened. None of the Trump casinos were ever profitable at any point, except to Trump because he was paid a fat salary. Trump's casinos failed because of Trump's mismanagement and deliberate financial malfeasance, the rest of Atlantic City failed way later
