Finn, you have no idea what you're talking about. The rioters in Baltimore don't care about politics, or race relations, or Freddie Gray. They want free stuff, and they want to destroy. The local news has made this point over and over and over, as have the protesters themselves. The American Revolu...

I am not advocating rights or wrongs in this case That bit Z, was specifically for you to try to dissuade you from playing the man not the ball, but you are just too set in your way and cannot help but spill garbage like this.... But now when you happen to agree with the rioters.... How can you ser...

Justice doesn't come from mob reactions. History would suggest otherwise, American history being a prime example. Aren't the second amendment rights you are so glad to exercise based upon the principle of revolution, of having a well armed militia to resist state sanctioned tyranny? You may not agr...

I concur Z, but there has to be independent and scientific means to the checking process. This in fact has already happened and one might think the need for yet a further review unnecessary when the reviews have already met stringent scientific standards, certainly not by a UK think tank that is com...

Boy I thought I was the one usually up for a bit of conspiracy theory but really this is out there and was dealt with up-thread some time back. The figures were not "fiddled" but normalised to take out and balance the accuracy removing the statistical errors. Smoking gun? Certainly smoking...

............ and me to use this one:

Thanks Orlion.....

The underlying principle of biomass (and other similar carbon reduction orientated schemes), is that it is net-neutral, ie the carbon burned/emitted is recaptured by additional plant growth and so there is no net increase in the amount of carbon added to the atmosphere due to power production. Its a...

Is Tulsa anywhere near Keystone?

Perhaps the lack of training meant that there was less opportunity to practice seeing past the facial obstruction of a big red nose and moving about with size #140 shoes on.

............ and another one bites the dust.

You'd be forgiven for confusing this as reality TV in the same vein as the alligator wranglers excepting that one group is trying to capture its subject without undue harm or stress and the other is the police.

Excuses, excuses...... sigh

Saw them in Sydney before Christmas without RW or JA. they played Fragile and Close to the Edge: full album versions and were pretty close. The keyboards were manned by the guy from the Buggles who did a half decent job and the singer was a guy from a Yes tribute band who was actually more like Jon ...

97% consensus is enough to send people to jail for life and is way ahead of the curve on the 80/20 rule. Again people who have little understanding of the rules governing the integrity of the internal infrastructure of science and the scientific community, think that they can pore over a ton of stat...

The top news organisations in the US/West are (in effect) owned and run by a middle eastern government!

Vraith, in the past few years, China in particular but also India has been buying gold at an accelerated rate, roughly equivalent to more than yearly production. The Germans (Bundasbank) have demanded a return of their physical gold from BoA (I think it was) and were told it would take 7 years to ac...

And you know things can and do build up/get worse over time. You can drink a bottle of whiskey today, and the effects are limited...if you drink it every day, there is disaster down the road. If you increase the amount you drink [1 today, 2 tomorrow, etc.] it comes faster. If you stop IN TIME, you ...

I think we are already seeing the effect and impact of a serious attack on the dollar as a fiat currency. That's why the Nobel peace prize winner has wars raging around the globe and is baiting the key players, China, Russia and Iran and softening up the public for any aggressive economic or diploma...

Why thank you, I'll try to remember your anniversary next year and wish the same, assuming you don't have some sort epiphany in the meanwhile and join me on this, the enlightened side of wrongness!

I have never hidden that. ask avatar or anyone who has been on the tank any amount of time.

Fascists never seem to know when they are being teased do they..

Oh and I have 10 years in here come Wednesday!
