give examples of said 'persecution'
I wonder how many of the selected scientists for the survey were not actually random...
On top of that, any self identifies scientist who disagrees with the dogma is persecuted. How many of the refusals to respond were real climatologists instead of climatologists?

So you don't believe scientists could possibly enjoy satisfying their extreme curiosity at the expense of making big bucks? Some people go into jobs because they actually enjoy what they are doing despite the pay. They want to be thinking and tinkering because they ENJOY it. They LIKE Monday morning. Hard for you to empathize? and it's obvious why you don't think like thinkers.
For those Catholics out there... You realize your church accepts evolution?
Or in the Protestant world, Catholics are heretics... With a Pope and false idols and all...
I work for profit. And I eat meat. So indirectly, I also screw the land. If you look at every single item YOU consume, food or otherwise, YOU are also fking things up. Do you invest money? If so, with whom?
We can play a game of guilt and shame if you like. Boots, you need to hone your attacks, you cast a wide net and probably don't realize you snagged yourself.
boutons works for hate
Financially rewarding does not equal "making big bucks". Reduce their pay to minimum wage, if they don't go out looking for better pay they are stupid, if they and moan they were lying. I expect most would fall into the latter group.
Because our government deems basic research valuable, they don't get minimum wage.
And they can also become a US citizen a of a lot easier. This should set off some sort of recognition about what even conservatives understand about science. And yes, a number do get pulled off into private business. It's a of a good recruiting system, that could be better.
The problem is that your "experiment" doesn't jive with the question. The question was basically asking what criteria they used at the moment they picked their career. Amongst the criteria was 'financially rewarding'. Past that moment, sure, they could've easily changed their mind, both on the financial aspect or the personal reward aspect. It doesn't invalidate the answers, nor make them stupid or liars.
Plus if the minimum wage is not a wage you can live on, then there's a problem is with the minimum wage. There's plenty of people that make a decent living and pass on making more money because of different reasons (ie:they find their current situation more rewarding, more flexible, etc). I don't think they're stupid or liars.
Minimum wage was never meant to be a living wage. People need to get that through their mind.
Now we get wilddumb to tell us what things are 'supposed' or 'meant' to be. He learned it as he struggled through HS.
The biggest problem with the creationists' argument imo is that they want it taught in the science curriculum. If you want to believe in creationism, go for it. But it is NOT SCIENCE. It is not predicated on the scientific method. So don't try to confuse the minds of youngsters by saying that a religious belief structure is the same as scientific inquiry. It simply is different.
If you want both creationism and evolution taught in school, teach one is religion class and one in science class. But teaching a religion class in a publicly supported school just might violate the cons ution.
says who?
Says my experience over several decades of living here. I would have never been able to more than have a roommate paying half the rent if I made minimum wage back in the 70's. $1.60/hr and $180 monthly rent.
$1.60 in 1973...
Was that a living wage?
I dunno. I could rent a sub-100$ apt quite easily in '73...so yeah, it could've been.
That's roughly $8/hr in 2012 dollars...

Exactly... plus the minimum federal wage was created in 1938... "but my experience says"
But it depends on where you live, and when these people talk about a living wage, they are speaking of for a family. At $92/month, it would use 1/3rd of your income for rent. Today's $7.25 1/3rd income point would be $419/mo. You can find those as well today.
OK, please give us a link that explains the legislators reason for creating a minimum wage. Also, it was $0.25 then. My grandfather used to tell us stories.Exactly... plus the minimum federal wage was created in 1938... "but my experience says"
what did we say about assumptions?
you should know... your experience and all...
