    saying random stuff doesn't make them true, provide arguments or examples to back up your statements or don't bother.

    Says the person anthromorphizing natural selection? What a joke.

    You can't be bothered to use actual terminology, you anthromorphize 'nature', and then you demand proof of other people telling you that what you are saying indicates you don't understand how natural selection or evolution work.

    But yes, it's my mistake for actually reading what you wrote, I apologize.

    i don't use proper terminology because English isn't my native language, not even second, it's third, so i tried to explain my thoughts as simple as possible, while in the other hand you didn't make any sentence regarding this subject, and decided to criticize the word i used to communicate while it was perfectly clear what i meant.

    Except it isn't. You keep claiming nature has a 'plan' and 'wants polar bears to survive', which is just untrue and denotes an pretty clear misunderstanding of evolution.

    Oh hey, now Condi Rice is getting the 'Brendan Eich' treatment: http://www.wired.com/2014/04/dropbox-rice-controversy/

    Over on Hacker News, a leading barometer for what’s on the minds of tech geeks, the day’s most popular link connects to DropDropbox, a new site calling on users to boycott the company unless it removes Rice.

    The campaign’s apparently anonymous creators are calling for her removal in part because of her support for the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, including claims that Rice herself authorized eavesdropping on UN Security Council members. “Why on earth would we want someone like her involved with Dropbox, an organization we are trusting with our most important business and personal data?” the site asks.
