    ... a hackneyed meme - even had they been 'Enviro' activists. But they weren't. This was a 'Young Explorers' expedition - climbing mountains, traversing glaciers, enduring snowstorms, making and striking camp, all that sort of 'Scouting for Boys' stuff. But there has to be some sort of 'scientific' project - can't all be fun and games. Given that they're stuck in the wilds, the project is always going to be some form of environmental study.

    Oh come on, clearly they are enviro freaks. All this talk of CC, bio diversity? You got to read between the lines! No? You know the CC movement is desperate to subvert the kids; its why they push the topic so damn hard in schools. It is almost Maoist/Stalinist in it's intent. Little Re Book, father figure, papa Stalin. If they tr to brainwash my kid this way they are going to have the mother of battles on their hands.

        Oh, yeah, so, if a bear was cracking your skull open and mauling you, you'd be lying there, screaming "don't kill it, it's just doing what it is supposed to!" would you?

          If you don't want to get eaten by lions don't climb into the lion cage. But if you do then don't blame the lion, it aint his fault.

            It was a 'Young Explorers' expedition, the science is to provide 'educational' content. In the wilds, the science project is always going to be something 'environmental'. Why not monitoring 'climate change'?

                Who's blaming the lion (Polar Bear?) The issue was killing the polar bar - and it was not shot in retribution it was shot in self defense.

                    Very funny, but I'm not biting. :-D BTW: I once had a copy of the 'Little Red Book'. It was thrust into my hands by a RC priest, who assured me that it would answer any problems I might have in life. I thought it was some religious tract, so it was only when I came to throw it away ...

                            The bear still lost its life because of the actions of the humans rather than through any fault of its own. Whatever their reasons for delivering the kill are irrelevant.

                            Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                                Climate Change takes place. Its cause may be argued, its effects may be argued, that's science. I object to the politicization of the scienctific debate by activists, and to action being taken on the basis of climate model projections. So, no harm in the kids contributing to the scientific data through observation, it is observation that calls the models into question. BTW: Catastrophic Anthropologicalgenic Global Warming :doh:

                                      Don't worry. Not only do they note the date, time and location of each animal encountered, but any carcasses too. ;P

                                        Climate Change takes place. Its cause may be argued, its effects may be argued, that's science. I object to the politicization of the scienctific debate by activists, and to action being taken on the basis of climate model projections. So, no harm in the kids contributing to the scientific data through observation, it is observation that calls the models into question. BTW: Catastrophic Anthropologicalgenic Global Warming :doh:

                                        Kids aren't going to contribute to the science, they have'nt got the experience training or knowledge. When you have schemes like this you KNOW it's all about indoctrinating kids INTO the socialist GW movement. It's Staliniat/Maoist in its intent. :)

                                          Of course not. :rolleyes: I was a lab. technician at 15, preparing equipment and standard solutions for post grad pharmacy students. After a couple of months of supervision, the Physical Chemistry lab was mine! At 16, I became a dispensing assistant. Although technically 'under the supervision of a pharmacist', after a year I was left pretty much to myself. I had to prepare medicines, ointments, eye drops, suppositories, ..., even tablets (rather than merely label proprietary products, as they do now). I have a great deal more faith in the ability of kids to carry out observations that would contribute acceptable data to scientific research.
