Of course they are being exploited, but the last thing they need is to be accused of ripping off the taxpayer.

The only flaws in the scenario come from misinformation i.e someone adding an unnecessary compound to the petri dish
Leap of faith, eh ... whatever that is ... willingness to take a chance maybe Maybe you meant: "leaping to conclusions" ... who knows, or cares. I would argue that willingness to take is at the basis of science, and of human endeavour in many areas. "Leap of faith", "science", "anathema" ... mmmm ... interesting. Would never say that myself 'cause I eschew obfuscation. Oh, and bs too.

Nope I meant 'Leap of faith'.....trust in someone/something else without awareness.

I'd argue the opposite.....that science is not about leaps of faith, it's about 'leaping to conclusions' and then seeking to prove those conclusions.

I also applaud these youngsters for getting out there and doing whatever is on offer to earn a few quid. And by the way there was a young lass wearing one of these billboards on Hyndburn Road this afternoon, she wasn't wearing a mask

then this young lady has my upmost regard as i stated in my earlier post.
I simply raised the question of why the mask, she wasnt wearing one therefore avoids the question, and the latter part of my post isnt applicable, and only the first part is.

where Less do you get the idea that it was a grudge? that i was being personal? what in my statement made you think i was having a go at you?
in this post it is because i am addressing you directly, in my first post there was nothing to suggest anything of the sort.
when you talk about grudges and bias towards someones post, maybe you need to start looking a little closer to home?

you then resorted to type and name calling, rather than offer any valid argument, as to why my more cynical side would dream up such a far fetched idea, just got all upset that i had to offer an opinion that wasnt popular.

wearing a masks main objective is to conceal ones identity, questioning why someone would want to isn't getting at you is it? offering possible alternatives to ones own question is simply sharing your thoughts and offering it up for debate

you need to get over this thinking that you have that i only post to annoy you, the fact that my posts annoy you isnt my problem but your own.

and if i held grudges, why would i send you karma last week?
