    They had them all across the country. Did any Republicans attend? Certainly not those who deny Science. But i'm sure there are level-headed Republicans out there who did. Please relate to us your experience.

    How many virtue signaling, self-righteous LW inquisitors-in-training made meaningless virtue signals today? Probably millions. Several million virtue signaling in empty Earth Day events and another several million virtue signaling in empty March for Science events.

    Did any of these marches feature discussions on chromosomes and what they do?

    I think you point out an important point. This isn't about science.

    Obamas alma mater Harvard, just postulated: https://www.conservativereview.com/...gender-changes-daily-disagreement-is-violence this is cutting edge science. Chromosomes, and biology be d@mned, if it feels good, it's a fact. Only alt-right neo-nazis would disagree with prestigious Harvards edicts ... totally founded on accepted liberal scientific principals.

    I support the scientific method, but not public funding for research. Therefore, I am unable to support the march.

    Are those the 'educated' people the left constantly tells us about? They look like idiots to me.

    I'm wondering if pu$$y-h@ts will replace the "mortarboards" in Harvards cap & gown graduation ceremonies ... that's the proper way one distinguishes his / her self as an idiot cum laude ...

    I worked today (Saturday) from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.

    Republicans have jobs, families, and responsibilities. We don't get to wallow in self-pity and whine in public.

    Some Republicans were too busy doing real science to be bothered to be seen marching around with weenies.

    Reminds me of a joke I heard this morning: How many virtue signaling, self-righteous LW inquisitors-in-training does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Ah. Harvard. The keeper of truth. Let's all pause in a moment of silent awe...

    Which leads to the inevitable conclusion: you're a fascist. Any other fascists want to admit to not supporting the march?

    I didn't know that science needed a march.

    Are you kidding me? Explain yourself.

    I'm so much not a fascist that I won't even report your post. People have been given infractions for calling others fascists.

    That was said tongue in cheek. (Clearly, only a fascist would have failed to show up to march today). Sorry if my sense of humor is a bit too subtle...

    At least seven. One to steal it from the neighboring frat house, one to act as lookout, one to get the ladder, one to remove the old bulb. one tp place the new bulb in, one to do a selfie, and one to read the directions.

    Completely asinine for Trump FanBoys to complain about scientists all while banging away on computers connected to the internet ... all thanks to MIT professors and UCLA Science Labs. Look around yourselves, boys. From the threads in your clothes to the polymers in your screen to that artificial knee to the pacemaker pumping blood through your bloated body ... thank a scientist. If you have a job that pays more than $10.00 an hour, thank a scientist - cause you probably are making at least a portion of the wage from the discoveries of graduates from MIT, or UCLA or any one of hundreds of other institutions.

    So when idiots start denigrating and demonizing scientists and researchers, they are basically denigrating the very people who create the bulk of of our nations GDP through their patents and discoveries for the last 100 years.

    Oh, so you are gonna start that BS up in this thread too. Just as wrong over here. No one complained about scientists, fallacy elf, the thread is about a meaningless, hollow, virtue-signaling MARCH, not science itself.

    "Him didn't MARCH! Him hate science!" Are you sure you want to stick with that?

    Wrong. Thank a capitalist, free, sophisticated capital markets, the profit motive, the rule of law and strong property rights. A scientist alone = Tesla, a scientist + a capitalist = electricity in everyone's homes. Scientists are a dime a dozen, successful -products- are rare. They got scads of GREAT scientists in N Korea.

    Not much comment necessary here, some claims are self-explanatory in their absurdity.

    Well let's see, take a straw man, add some chest-puffing virtue signaling, yep! It's a lefty!

    Not denigrating anyone. I have much respect for scientists and value the scientific method immeasurably, we just have a disagreement over the ethics of their funding.

    Capitalists without the ideas and research of scientists ... just another fat guy in his grandmother's basement.
    I can't help it that anti-science people like yourself are so bloated and entitled that they fail to realize that the lives they've come to expect are the results of the ideas and creativity of scientists that they are presently denigrating.
