Then you weren't looking closely enough. After 9-11, when Musharaff pledged support, the public gratitude was enormous. People who actually read the news understand, but especially after the OBL episode, they are confused as to how "real" the support/alliance really is. People are also very...

Cosmology - a way to blow your mind without drugs! Thought experiment: You are in a space ship. You fly to the edge of the universe, then you keep going. Where are you? A: There is no "void" outside the universe. The universe is... everything. It defines reality. So the answer is...

I think those sub-orbital space hops are the biggest rip-off in the history of man. Want to be weightless? Want to see the blackness of space? Want to see the curvature of the earth? You can get all of that on a Russian MiG-25 ride. He can make you weightless multiple times for lengthy...

Safriz, these are some really entertaining videos, but perhaps a bit misleading. The Hornet pilot is doing a solo air show demo practice run. Especially cool are when he dials up the "G" and the vapor trails off the strakes stream back. Also cool is the little known phenomenon of just how...

Author Harry Harrison wrote a book on exactly what the OP asked - no asteroid strike... what would happen? In his world, a species of mosasaur evolved into a bipedal tool-using dominant species. Yet mankind still also evolved, because mankind could tolerate harsher climates than the lizard...

When will such lame-a$$ propaganda end? Why are you being so defensive , Chogy I have already admitted there is waste... there will be in any affluent society. But regardless, the numbers don't add up. Most people my age had parents who grew up in the Great depression, and THEY...

It's right here. The author presents this in such a way that even if he doesn't believe it himself, he leaves it open and worded in such a way that 90% of what I would call the uneducated readership, would in fact believe it. The article is cleverly constructed so that taken as a whole, it...

Not sure what you are saying, here, but it is true Americans eat too much highly processed food. Any one concerned about long-term health should limit fast food to just a couple of times a month, IMO. One smart nutritionist said "Buy food at the supermarket that is on the perimeter of the...

But you have to admit, the "Zionists are evil and the root cause of all misery" crowd has taken a back seat (sadly) to recent events.

I'll grant that mankind understood what a communicable disease was in 1918. Of course they did. But how does that translate into the use of the 1918 flu strain as a weapon? Again, the OP flatly states the virus was bio-engineered. That is laughably incorrect. How are we supposed to believe...

No, no... no. It is quite a leap to claim "40,000 Pakistan civilians dead at American hands." You are attempting to create some link that doesn't exist. This is so sad... do you REALLY think these soldiers wake up every day and hope they can go out on a mission and just mow people down...

The original article is a paranoid and delusional spewing of half facts and made-up B.S. The virus is one glaring example. There are more. It does you no good to keep falling back on the "They didn't ENGINEER the virus." That is irrelevent. Mankind did not have the technical capability to...

No one is denying food wastage is a problem, but it'll always be with mankind. Food is perishable. There is often no way to "ship" the food anywhere. People everywhere need to be responsible with resources. But when people pull numbers like 6 billion $$ out of their rear ends, it becomes...

Yes. Too subtle, I guess. ---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ---------- I thought Iranians were generally rational people.

Agree, but interestingly, in the last few weeks, zionism (as a root cause) has taken a distant back seat.

It's one thing to disagree with a nation's policies... it is entirely another to celebrate or mock the deaths of individuals...

HAHAHAHA! The USA had the ability to genetically manipulate influenza virus in 1918??!! We were able to collect and disburse it? What nonsense! The Spanish flu killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Mankind barely knew what a virus was, did not understand DNA, and had ZERO...

Last time I checked the U.S. military is still using the M4 and M16A2. :rolleyes: 99% of the bad reputation of the system was from bad early days in Vietnam, when the military changed the powder in the cartridge from clean stick to dirty ball. Since then, the system has matured to a reliable...

Simple math will reveal this entire article to be total B.S. There are 300 million people in the USA. If we "throw away 6 billion in food daily" that means we throw away $20 per day for every man. woman, and child in the United States. My family of five would throw out $120 worth of food...

Fact: When the smoke clears in ANY debate, any and all problems will be blamed on America, GB, colonialism, or any combination thereof. ;)
