I respect your points, and there is validity there. The alliance has certainly been mishandled. But can you say with certainty that such things as the comments from the USA re: the ISI are without merit? Within the rhetoric from both sides are elements of truth blended in with falsehoods...

Sounds like they caught it early. You will make it through this!

That's the conundrum. You'd think the guy on the moon would measure the speed of the laser at something well above the speed of light. But relativity states that any measurement of the speed of light in any frame of referance would simply see "C", the speed of light. What changes for them all...

It's not just Pakistanis... my girl and her troops would go to the local market once every couple of weeks and buy a goat. They'd butcher the goat and grill it along with fresh vegetables and bread. Made a good break from the pre-packaged stuff. And whoever mentioned fiber - it's no joke...

You do realize that 2001, a Space Odyssey, by Arthur C. Clarke, was almost exactly what you described? ;) People who watch the movie leave shaking their heads, not understanding. Reading the book explains it all. The monoliths are alien artifacts designed to track and monitor mankind's...

Your question makes no sense. I think she is a pig for doing what she is doing. I condemn it here, I'd do it publicly, I'd do it to her face. Yet if she got blown up, I would neither cheer nor mock her, just as I neither cheer nor mock dead al quaeda and taliban.

Haha! Not to go off topic, but every single guy who gets married wonders "Will I still think women, other women besides my wife, are hot?" There's no magic "off" button. That's the challenge of marriage, to remain faithful in thought, word, and deed, despite all the temptations out there...

Could not Adam and Eve be the first human "creatures" given souls? When Cain killed Abel, he was afraid of the "others" out there... and he got the mark on his forehead. Who were the others? Obviously, other primitive people. I find the debate, the reconciliation, between faith and evolution...

Physics states that any particle with measurable mass, like a neutron or electron, cannot reach the speed of light, as infinite force would be needed to get it there. Further, the mass of the particle itself increases as it approaches the speed of light. That is why megawatts of power is...

^^ there's one of your 4%, right there. Some rear echelon moron who wants to play tough soldier girl.

I've had U.S. MRE's many times. I know soldiers are sick of them, but IMO they are pretty darned good, and if you were really hungry, they'd be excellent. MUCH better than the old-fashioned C and K rations. K rations especially, were nothing more than a 1960's version of a power bar. They...

This is not even worthy of addressing. You have made it abundantly clear in the past that you think I am some raving islamophobe, and there is not a molecule of evidence for this. My thinking is rational. I don't blame Islam for the acts of some lunatics. I blame the lunatics themselves. As...

All this is why I should have said "Cosmology AND quantum mechanics - a way to blow your mind without drugs!" Another hint on the light beam thought experiment... the passage of time is different between the moon, and shipboard.

You make good points. I've often wondered why a stegosaur from 150 million years ago looks exactly the same as one from 100 million years ago. 50 million years of ZERO progress. Yet the evidence behind evolution is overwhelming. We just don't understand the mechanism. Perhaps there are...

Your life is entering phase II. Raising kids was the hardest thing I've ever done. Any idiot can make a baby. But it is HARD to be a good father. I know you can do the latter. Congratulations! Oh yes, be a real man and share in the child-care duties. Don't be a fake man and foist it all...

Going supersonic is nothing special other than to say "I went supersonic." You can't feel anything, nothing looks different. Heck, BFM is done subsonic anyhow. The best aviation adventure values are those Russian fighter plane rides, IMO. I'd do the MiG-29, better visibility, more acro, than...

This is pretty lame. The only real technology that the USA borrowed from the Nazis, the only areas in which they were ahead, were liquid fueled rockets and jet engines. That's it. Their nuclear program was hopelessly juvenile. They had taken the wrong path, while the USA produced nuclear...

How unbelievably rude. If there was a "disapprove" button, I'd be all over it. I did nothing to deserve mockery over my religion. Shame on you. Obviously you've not taken advanced physics or quantum mechanics. Thought experiments are used all the time to illustrate effects like relativity...

Guys, here is the reality of all armies over the entire history of mankind. Including ancient Romans, the Wehrmacht, including Pakistan, China, everybody. You have 1,000 troops. Let's divide them... 950 of them are professionals, of strong moral character, who have no desire to kill but...

The drone is a trojan horse, a "poison pill", in that it is loaded with misinformation and computer worms and such that will not only give misinformation, it will infect Iranian systems and collect sensitive data into an encrypted file that can be tapped by satellite. ;)
