For years now, an increasing majority of scientists have gotten onboard with the concept that global warming is a very real phenomenon, and yes, we are causing it. Still, there has been a increasingly small minority that shuns these views and insists that everything is A-O.K. and we should just continue on as usual. Earlier this month, while the world was fo

Sean, How was that any different. My point was, and is, that Bush was NOT the first president to do that. I was referencing the fact that Abraham Lincoln did the very same thing, yet we lionize him! not as i read it in the context of that discussion. in the reply you gave me, it seemed that you were praising the administration for making a move , that in your view, was parallel to lincoln's. in this discussion you are clearly criticiz

The truth is, we HAVE become everything we hated about Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia in too many ways. In George Bush's America, it is not inconceivable that a dissident could be whisked away in the middle of the night (Gitmo, anyone? All we have to do is label them a "terrorist, and bingo! Civil rights go *poof*!) gee gid,,,sure is a change of heart to how you replied to me on the subject just a short time ago...glad to see your mind has been changed..

I think it is still a ways off before bands will be doing their business exclusively online, but I think it will happen. i think so too I'm still an album-phile. If I like it, I get the CD. There are a few things that, if I've never heard it before, I'll download it, but if I do enjoy it - I always buy it. Always. I feel compelled to support my favorite groups. me too. and i miss vynyl in the respect that the ar

John Scott Ridgway, branded for tv and radio as: PAIN. yeah, i'd call that a hijack, lol. and someone who has delusions of being the 2nd coming of hunter s thompson....as if... as far as this article goes, there's so much oversimplification and unfair labeling going on, that i'm not sure even where to start. the attempts to label col. gene as a socialist are so amateurish that they reall

Over the past decade, CD sales have simply plummeted. A decade ago, it would have taken well over 100,000 sales just to crack the top 10, but today, some weeks a mere 65K will get you a #1 slot. And yet, the industry continues to charge exhorbitant rates for their products. CD's are still commonly sold @ 15-20 bucks a pop. Will the industry simply switch

Some time ago now, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware put forth a plan for a way forward in Iraq. The plan consisted of 5 major points, as follows,,, 1. Establish One Iraq, with Three Regions Federalize Iraq in accordance with its constitution by establishing three largely autonomous regions - Shiite, Sunni and Kurd -- with a strong but limited

I don't know about you, but in my opinion, the media coverage of the 2008 "hopefuls" has been plain awful. Out of the 20 some candidates for 08, seems like 6 get all the attention. If you are sold on Rudy, Hillary, Barack, John E, John M or Mitt, that's probably suits you just fine. But i'm not. I'm not saying that I wouldn't vote for any of the "rock star" candidat

I just want to hear why liberals believe it is our fault. ugh...this is the problem. yes, there are certain individuals who try to blame the attacks on what osama himself claimed to be the reasoning (as shoddy as it was) but that doesn't mean they speak for anyone else. there have also been christian conservatives who have actually blamed the liberals for the attack. they claim it 's their fault. does that mean that all, or even

Are you bored? My Gawd... a little, lol..it's either this or toy with the lil quack who hijacked one of gideon's post for the sheer purpose of trying to "get me " on anything,,,,and that's gettin boring too. plus, maybe since the right wing radicals have been trying to nitpick me to death, i thought it might be wise to do a lil pre-emptive research, lol have a good weekend baker:)

Lol, it's a whole SCHOOL of red herring, evidently so 2 fish make up a "school?" no How many fish make a school? There is no magic number, but in the wild schools are generally large - often numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. In captivity, schooling fish need to have at least 4-6 to create a school that they are comfortable with. WWW Link

Match point. hardly, lmfao! you still have yet to even dispute anything i said. Ever heard of DARPA (which began in "1959")? That was the beginning of the INTERNET and the computers ALL spoke the SAME language. Wrong here too. By 1973 DARPA had them all talking kind of a contradiction isn't it? how could they have "had them all talking by 73" if they already we

Like Monroe, she died young but she never could have been a Marilyn. They had things in common but MM became an icon. Sadly, Ms Smith won't. well, in the 50's, we barely had tv (black and white, broadcast only) and a much smaller percentage of households even owned 1. there were no 16 theater cineplexes and so forth...today, (and it was true in the early 90's when she made her mark) there are soooo many more choices in entertainment. anna could never ex

Lol, it's a whole SCHOOL of red herring, evidently. The reason the Clinton aspect IS so important is that your whole argument states Bush KNEW this or KNEW that. No, Bush had no conclusive proof either way. He said that in his address. ... and neither did Clinton. Clinton determined that it was a) not worth risking optimism, and b) that Hussein needed to be removed and a new regime promoted. That's the same operating goals Bush had. The ONLY difference here is

From the 1960s the US government, in partnership with some key universities, began exploring the potential of networking computers. There were half a dozen of these networks by the late 70s, all talking to different users and often in deliberately different languages. After all, what was the value in making something like Arpanet - designed to protect Western intelligence against a Soviet nuclear strike - available to the wider world? keep diggin! what i said was entire

“the Catholic Church” which is not a building, rather “the Church” is the Mystical Body of Christ, Christ’s kingdom of God on earth. no, it's not. it's a private corporation that sells it's brand of religion. just like most other sects. you can't have it both ways. God's true church is within the individual. the body of christ and his kingdom can only be found in our hearts.

The INternet was created back in 69. no it wasn't. people began developing networks in the 60's (actually before 69) but they were diliberately done in different languages and not compatable with each other. the main use was intelligence, and what was the point if just anyone could access it was their point the 1st time we had any kind of "global network" was via Cerf and Kahn in 83. but the 1st actual 'web server" came in 91.
