  1. Yes, I can. Most are law abiding and peaceful. I point to residential to prison populations ratios to back me up.
  2. A. The donkey must be shared. Your day is Wednesday. Q. Carnegie hall NYC or Carnegie Hall Dunfermline?
  3. Sayonara, you responded in less than sixty seconds. Innate sense of timing, constant monitoring, or Popeil's new pocket Gibber-o-meter?
  4. I nearly set my keyboard on fire typing quickly 'cause I knew you were watching, Cap.
  5. Do you have a brother named TrueLove?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Oh, there are many things I'm trying to forget about this war.
  9. I am SO happy they finally found some WMD!!! 1 shell w/Sarin gas = $87 billion
  10. A. No. Even people with black skin can get a sunburn. Q. Favorite Douglas Adams book?
  11. 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!
  12. A. Tell them you hung yourself and the rope is too tight to talk so that's why you're writing. Q. What's your favorite conspiracy theory?
  13. Neanderthals had bigger occipital lobes. So your neighbor could remember the score of every game he ever bowled, but a 6-10 split would put him in a drooling coma.
  14. 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.
  15. Links that don't involve The Star or The National Enquirer!
  16. 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!
  17. No need to edit, it just sounded as though you were quoting someone you thought very highly of. Do you believe God is Matter/Energy' date=' Space/Time, or does He merely use them for His programming? 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. 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? 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.

    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.
  19. 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? Are other living things inside the circle or outside the circle? 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. You've placed "Mechanism of Evolution", "Independent Rate" and this last part in quotes. Are these quotes attributable to you or someone else?

    Is your trajectory vertical like a rocket or are you starting at an angle as a plane would?
  21. Not necessarily true, moo. As long as it could speak in semi-understandable sentences and its family could rig the vote, it could become president of the United States someday.
  22. The zero-point field is the vast quantity of matter which exists at the lowest possible energy state, almost at rest but not quite, using the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Even a vacuum will contain residual electromagnetic radiating waves of force at this zero-point of energy. Like many quantum phenomena, it is unobservable to us, but can be detected by its effects. I remember reading somewhere that we can't see it because it is so overwhelmingly present it gives no contrast to itself, the way you couldn't see light if there were no darkness to show you the difference.
