Large breasts do not produce more milk. Instead, it is thought that large breasts are more attractive because they sag a lot more with age and therefore the male mind can (subconsciously) determine age from them, better than from small ones. This is important since younger women are a lot more fertile.

In other words, men who are attracted to large breasts (until they begin to sag) will be more reproductive successful than men who are attracted to small breasts (always).

It's an american thing.

>I am now a 22 year old who mainly relays on a calculator.

As you should be. Calculators are useful. Maths pros aren't just people who do basic sums. Learn about the actual concepts.

Al Jazzera is a pretty good news source...

I like it when BBC isn't an option.

You can get fucked in the ass every day this year with no real risk. It's mainly something that happens to old people after straining too hard on the toilet.

Generally the "pick one" shouldn't be green when this format is used. i.e.:

>online university
>decent
pick one

You morons, he just used "I can't do maths for shit" as shorthand to describe the trend of performing much worse in the highly mathematical areas. It doesn't mean he actually can't do maths.

For example, in my first year of physics there was maths in every module, but there were also dedicated maths modules which had much harder maths to prepare you for the next years. It is perfectly reasonable for a physicist to do really well in all the other modules but struggle with the harder maths stuff and ask for online assistance to get it.

>It is easier to build a house than it is to create life.

This is the crux of the argument. It rests on the reader accepting this premise, and it tries to trick the reader into doing so by using a vague word "easier", and not defining the conditions well. Here would be a better-formed premise which would allow the rest of the argument to continue as normal:

>It is more likely that a house would emerge from natural processes over millions of years than that life would emerge from natural processes over millions of years.

We now see that the argument uses circular reasoning because step 3 says:
>Therefore the probability of life creating itself out of nothing is less than that.
But this is an assumption of the initial argument. So what you "proved" is really a hidden premise.

I could explain how step 4 does not follow step 3 but it's no necessary.

No because gays have generally had a bit more time to think about sexuality so won't ask such retarded questions.
