that is innovative - a poor man's take a number system. Much cheaper than the digital display at the DMV.
That song has nothing to do with welfare. If your gonna put up some country, put up something good.

Yep, whitey been crying about losing America for a long time. Probably since the british left.
Why is race the issue? Eventually we will all have to do some work to exist. Bucks version was a fun thing, Meryl's, says a mouthful, this says it all regardles of creed, color or conviction.

What an idiot you are to make such a distinctive statement in your excutivev positition!. Have you lost all sense of credulity, accusing me of having a bit of fun with total ignorance? If so, then <EDITED BY MOD TO REMOVE FOUL LANGUAGE>! It's better to cut and run from this B.S. than listen to your idiotic reasoning for tearing someone down. I only hope any new group gets on to you, and."fast" ! You my friend, are an intellectual idiot.

This post has almost slipped from the table, but let's not forget it just yet. Yesterday a conviction of 1st Degree Murder was handed down to a Hi School student here in Gaugua County, Ohio. I can't go into the particulars because they are too deep and involved. But is this a face of a killer showing the type of smugness that perpitrates such violance by saying! You don't dare kill me, so put my ass in prison, give it your best shot and all of you be damned? Have i missed something?

Might be just BS: A sphere is one of the simplest shapes, where every point on its surface is equidistant to a particular point. If the universe had a definite center, and a shape, then "spherical" would be quite a simple shape. Planets etc. have a center of mass. A sphere is like... the best approximation of "flat" across the entire surface of a 3d shape, maybe??? Like... flat land is closer to a spherical Earth than are mountains. Gravity pulls things toward the center of mass, roughly, filling the valleys and tending toward a spherical shape as a stable shape. Same with water droplets: "mountains" have more surface area than flat land; surface tension also tends toward flatness as stable
rigney: Try as I might, there is no way for me to describe the universe spherically without giving it boundries and dimenson. So, I'll I use the dandelion for demonstrational purpose. Think of each seedlet without its connecting tendril as an individual galaxy moving away vectorially from a fixed central point, out into an endless continuum. With no peripheral boundaries, ie. (creation of new space and time) to impede velocity and direction, you might think each galaxy would keep on course forever? But not so! While a galaxy must try following its basic trajectory and speed laid out at the time of formation, these rules can and will be broken over time. For instance, we know our moon is moving away from earth constantly. And even though the separation is very subtle, something like 1/8" inch per year, it is happening none the less. What will be the nightmare when this attraction is lost and each goes its seperate way?
Planets, moons and asteroids, down to the last speck of free moving dust in each galaxy is controlled by a perpetual constant of the overall universe. Time!, undoubtably billions of years was needed to fine tune this balancing act we witness today. How else could a planetary system such as our own, even exist? What is written here are mostly ideas I have plagiarized from others or hype with no substance. Take your pick.

I'm not ungrateful for your explanation, but somehow such logic simply flies by my ability to process it. Am I totally ignorant? Possibly! But there are too many variables to decipher for me conceding 'carte blanche" to such an idea. Firstly, the dot game gives me "the willies". If the universe is indeed expanding, why aren't the dots also expanding ? I've read somewhere that it's because gravitational forces hold galaxies together, etc.Then I find that our Milky Way and Andromeda will lock horns at some future date. While the possibility of billions of years may be needed for this happening, it doesn't say much for expansion, in that sense. While I believe our universe began at a central point, it may not have been as a Big Bang, but more like a dandelion. Ran across this bunch of Q. and As. And while I can't bring myself to believing in most of them, some do make sense. Enjoy!

By the way, a dandelion is the best I can do in describing how our universe works. It seeds, grows into adulthood, comes to fruition and dies, only to begin all over again,

Your expanation is a bit over my head, but I have read that sand at the Trinity blast site was ransformed into glass by heat generated during the first A-Test.

Your quote: Again, the BB was not an explosion. It was not a sudden release of energy propelling matter into a pre-existing space. There was no pre-existing space. The BB happened, and is still happening, everywhere at once. Every point in space is expanding away from every other point (outside of gravitationally bound entities), unquote
I suppose my ignorance is what keeps me (keeping on, keeping on). While I've never professed to being the sharpest nail in a keg, I try to use logic. To make such an unproven hypothesis as you have stated, leaves me with little wiggle room. While I'm not saying your findings are wrong, it's only that I simply can't rationalize such a concept. If you could go into some detai to explain it, I would be more than appreciative.

Unfortunately I can't argue the physics and calculus necessary to extrapolate such logic. My main question again is, why does everything in the universe seem to be rounded? This, from galaxies, suns, planets, moons, orbits and even on down to include tear drops? To say the BB was not an explosion is as delusional as my protesting that it was nothing more than that. What proof is there that the universe is flat or hyperbolic, other than the crunching of a bunch of numbers?
The US and Russia conducted many Nuclear Tests back in the 60s. Inerestingly enough, this test was done at Johnsons Atoll in 1962. If nothing more than conjecturel, read the difference between "atmospheric bursts and those done in outer space".

The Big Bang was not an explosion, propelling matter outward from a central place. The BB is the expansion of every point in space from every other point in space. There is no spherical shape, and there is no center of the universe.
When it is said that the universe is flat, it means that the value of mass density is just what is needed to keep the universe expanding forever, as opposed to contracting into a big crunch.
When being used on a local level, a flat universe means one undistorted by gravitational fields, where Euclidean geometry is true and the angles of a triangle total 180 degrees.

Gotta try once more. It is now theorized the universe is flat. My question! Since I've never seen a flat balloon unless deflated, how come it is suspected to exist in such a configuration now?

You compare the birth of the Universe, to the explosion of a giant nuclear bomb. This is a very interesting comparison. But does it work, for example, why aren't we all suffering from radiation sickness?
My explanation was suggested only as a comparison to creative semantics. If the BB was a static balancing act of all materials located in the continuum at one point as a singularity, then, to my thinking, any explosion should have been distributed spherically, vectorially and equally in all directions. Hope this gives you a better understanding of my view?

Having been over this subject many times, I have still to find a satisfactory answer matching my dull wittedness. So, if I may, let me try again
Could a nuclear blast be comparable in design and distribution to that of the Big Bang? While the actions of such a device would be infinitely smaller, if a test could be performed under pristine conditions such as in a continuum, with no forces acting upon it, would the explosion be hyperbolic, flat, or spherical in design as one might expect? Even with all of natures forces acting against them, each of the following explosions try remaining globular in shape. Why?0 -
I'm still out in left field, not being a chemist. But thanks for the insight though. I now have a slight understanding.

Just ran across this little blurp of photos. But I love the fact such a man actually knew humility in his greatness.

That's some funny stuff, even if it's not "real" (actor + stunt driver). They've also done some "Uncle Drew" basketball vids which are great.
From what I understand now it may not have been Gordon doing the driving. But the look on that presumed car dealers face seemed to say it all, even if it was just a Pepsi promo scam. I'm still laughing.

The hell it doesn't! Are you saying these assholes at GM can keep fu--in' up with no one being responsible? Personally, I'm hoping for a total government buy out to let you liberal lames know the sad direction you are taking. "Blaah"!
-3 -
And? I have the feeling you are a staunch and strong liberal. Am I wrong? What I'm saying is: It doesn't matter who" left the shit on your door step", as long as you sweep it away. All this administration would have had to do was say: You Mother Fs, failed and now deserve your fate. Bush may have stirred the shit, but Obama has used strange methods, ridding himself of that funky smell.

We have a new problem now that GM wants to restructure, "yet again". It's said that government don't want to interfere, but will Obamas ignorant crew get their sorry asses out of the mix before doom and gloom strikes again?

Numbers and math are great tools, but from where did we get them? I visit Vegas plus a few other places each year where numbers and math are extremely important, yet I usually come away a loser. Why? The figures all add up. The odds are the best money can buy, Yet, I usually don't win. Then I pray, Lord, let the blackjack tables by my salvation this time. Somehow it always seems to work. Gambling has gone on for thousands of years and will continue until the end of time. Now we have a bevy of educated mathmaticians who, through number crunching and some good old theory have calculated the age of our universe, what it is made of, where it came from and where it is going. All of this, sight unseen. Or should I say "Untouched"? Might there be a bit of unseen faith in subscribing to such findings? Could there possibly be a few nefarious folks out there, other than preachers; giving us a false sense of hope there is no God, while in the mean time our universe might be only minutes or even seconds from ending? Below is a very good reason to believe in something other than just science.

For those of you with or witout a hearing deficiency, are unbiased and can read, take a look at this.
I’ve read it before, but don’t you just love it?
Shortly after joining the PGA tour in 1965, Lee Trevino, known as the Happy Tex/Mex was at his home in Dallas one morning, up early on a Monday mowing his lawn. The weather being very hot, Lee’s wife Claudia had gone inside to make some lemonade.A middle aged woman in a shiny big, new Cadillac stopped in front of his home, lowers her window and asked, "Excuse me Sir, but do you habla English?" Lee responds, "Yes Ma'am." The woman asks, then tell me, "Do you charge per hour or by the job to do yard work?" Without hesitation Lee smiles broadly and replies, "Well, righta now ‘de lady ina dis casa letsa me sleep with her." Hurriedly the woman puts the car in gear and speeds off.1

You and I are not even on the same page! This happene was in a school cafeteria, not on a school bus. And "NO," guns are for the sanely rational, not those with an irrational syndrome known as youth.
