  1. I once did that driving. And not on a straight stretch of road, either. I was driving home and thinking about a woman I was seeing who really made me feel good. I negotiated turns, stop signs, maybe even a traffic light or two, when suddenly I noticed there was a strange car in my driveway. I had no recollection of the drive home, couldn't remember any of the drive, and only snapped out of it when something odd happened, a strange car in the driveway. I'd like to think if I had needed to be alert I would have snapped out of it sooner, but who knows?

  2. So, which one of you hippy liberal anti-Iraq people want to be the first to come up with a conspiracy theory? Break out the tin-foil hats!
    I still prefer the platform-Republican, conservative, anti-Iraq conspiracy theory that WMD in Iraq were enough to go to war for.
  3. Well, you cant say that most are kind gentle people that obey the law and believe in peace.
    Yes, I can. Most are law abiding and peaceful. I point to residential to prison populations ratios to back me up.
  4. I meant for several months afterward. Woodward's book just came out this year, Tesseract.

     

    My point is that a diplomatic president could have used what sympathy there was to form a foreign relations coup that would have gone a long ways to repairing damage done in the past.

     

    No president can be perfect. I hated it when Clinton passed legislation allowing media to be owned by mega-corporations. But he probably would have done a better job in the aftermath of 9/11 than Bush has. I think Reagan would have done a better job of foreign relations than Bush has.

  5. Aside from any partisan nit-picking about policies and political strategies, the thing I cannot forgive GW Bush Jr for is the outcome of his foreign policy. The US had the sympathy of almost every person on Earth after 9/11. Not to sound exploitative, but a shrewd leader could have used that sympathy to forge alliances that were never before possible. Less than 3 years after that horrific incident, the US is seen as the villains once again.

     

    If we want to wear the white hat, we have to EARN it.

  6. Neanderthal life must have been pure HELL!! Small frontal lobes means poor problem solving skills, huge occipital lobes means long memories. Imagine the fights between husband and wife. He can't do anything right and she never lets him forget it!

  7. After making sure my family is taken care of financially, I use my last billion dollars to get a truly worthy woman elected president of the United States. Since she owes no favors to anyone but me, she abolishes the Electoral College, makes it illegal for anyone who owns a business to also own any form of media, spends half the defense budget on alternative energy research, the other half on repairing US foreign relations, and then fully funds both the military and education with money taken from former porkbarrel projects.

     

    I die when I smile so wide my head falls off.

  8. So, I was thinking that maybe thinking too much makes you stressed out adn depressed.
    You just had a major birthday, you fell in love... again, you're laying in bed thinking sad thoughts today, tomorrow everything will look completely different.

     

    This is common. This is normal. This is LIFE!

  9. Its Original but I only used the quotes to highlight some vital points.But I would edit if its advisable;do I?
    No need to edit, it just sounded as though you were quoting someone you thought very highly of.
    It involves Space/Time and Matter/Energy-you can only exempt nothing;since nothing can not exist[/color'].
    Do you believe God is Matter/Energy' date=' Space/Time, or does He merely use them for His programming?
    I used 'Independent Rate' to indicate 'Its Own Pace' or 'Not affected by a Catalyst'-And in actual sense, I am not sure there is any way of changing the 'Rate of Evolution'(please update my knowledge with it if any) despite this era of 'Genetic Engineering'(quite advanced of course!).
    The rate of evolution is changed by many different catalysts, but that's what evolution is by definition, organisms developing and adapting based on specific environmental need.
    If you view the Universe or Existence as a CIRCLE then either 'God would represent the Centre and Man(the master-piece) the Circumference'

    or vice versa.And the other Living and Non-living things occupying the rest.

    This programming is just as you programme your computer to understand or do your commands!!

    You view "Man" as the masterpiece of evolution. It seems that "Man" and "God" are the only things deemed worthy by your circle representation. Personally' date=' I think that:

    1) viewing the entire human race as "Man",

    2) believing "Man" to be the only important species, and

    3) believing that everything we do is just a part of God's plan (programming),

    has gotten us into a tremendous amount of trouble in the world. To illustrate:

     

    1) Woman is wrongly perceived as secondary to Man. How much farther along would the medical field be today if five million "witches" weren't burned at the stake during the Inquisition for practicing herb lore?

    2) We are pillaging our own environment and destroying species which may be the keystones to our own survival, simply because it will supposedly make our lives easier.

    3) The current war in Iraq was inspired by God because He told George Bush to invade, which is OK because it was pre-ordained and programmed by the MMM. Do you see my point?

    Eternity Exists- But Only Possible With The Invention Of a Forseeing Machanism
    Does this mean that Time (Eternity) is a man-made invention? Is this "Forseeing Mechanism" some kind of oracle? I understand what you mean everywhere else in your posts, but I don't understand this.
  10. I guess vertical and as the altitude increases, pitch over to allow for the wings to take effect on landing. They're quite good fun to fly (apparently), and you can get kits to build them. I think there's a kit space shuttle glider you can get for a relatively small amount somewhere.
    RussianRoulette, this sounds like the perfect thing for you to get involved in. When YT2095 posted regarding buckling wings I immediately thought of ways to decrease stress during initial thrust, and your mention of wing shape efficiency earlier fits in perfectly (I love designing paper airplanes and always dreamed of being able to launch them from as high a point as possible). CAD would be great to know unless you're really good with sketch, also 3-D modeling, any computer skills would help. And get on good terms with your shop teachers, of course.
  11. YES.....God exist but NOT in the human form as the various RELIGIONs believe .

    Rather God is the "Matter-Master-Mind" of the Universe that programmed the "Mechanism of Evolution" rolling fundamentally; at an "Independent Rate" :

    If matter=energy and God is the mastermind of matter' date=' does the "independent rate" you speak of have to do with space/time? Is God the master of space/time as well, in your opinion?
    If you view the Universe or Existence as a CIRCLE then either 'God would represent the Centre and Man(the master-piece) the Circumference'

    or vice versa.And the other Living and Non-living things occupying the rest.

    Are other living things inside the circle or outside the circle?
    This programming is just as you programme your computer to understand or do your commands!! WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
    Programming suggests pre-determined destiny and I don't believe I am not shaping my life with the choices I make. I also find it hard to believe God would give us free will and then feel the need to make our choices for us.
    "Eternity Exists- But Only Possible With The Invention Of a Forseeing Machanism"
    You've placed "Mechanism of Evolution", "Independent Rate" and this last part in quotes. Are these quotes attributable to you or someone else?
