When I was a kid growing up in Russia, if you got measles, neighbors with young kids would actually bring their kids over, so they can get infected and develop immunity to it for later in life. My sister had it and the whole neighborhood was over in a course of the week or 2 she had it. No one died and I've seen this over and over. Later all kids had the measles vaccine while in school, I think it was 1st or 2nd grade. Back then the doctors didn't give it to your within the first 2 weeks of your life...
There's a lot of misunderstanding about this whole vaccination process. People started refusing vaccines not because they vaccines themselves affected their children but because the mercury based preservatives in those vaccines did. The preservatives are added to multi-doze vaccines, which most of the vaccines manufacturer's have shifted their production, ending most of single doze lines because of much higher profit on multi-doze orders. There was a Rolling Stones article on this a while ago. http://www.autismcoach.com/Rolling%20Stone%20Autism%20Article.htm
Contrary to USA, most European countries ended mercury based vaccines back in the 1970's. Now because of the massive outcry against mercury based preservatives, a lot of vaccines manufacturers have switched to aluminum based ones. But distrust is still there and the lack of single doze is only feeding that mistrust.
Now before you go and say that I don't know what I'm talking about, I have 2 nephews and a niece that became autistic after being given vaccines with thimerisol based preservatives. Each was give multiple vaccines at once, as is often done nowadays and is actually recommended by FDA. Each shot contained enough mercury, that if that amount of mercury was spilled on the floor, it would require a hazmat to clean up. All the children were perfectly fine before that and were really smart and outgoing. This was about 18 years ago.
Another thing to consider is that mercury does not leave the body, it accumulates over lifetime. The only way to remove it, is through some rather aggressive chemo-therapy, so can't be done to young kids. One of my nephews had the process performed on him when he was about 12 and he became much better but the family didn't have the money or the will to put him though several more that were needed to remove the remaining mercury.
Now, not every child is going to have that reaction but you don't know until you try.
So before you go a label these people as complete idiots, try to put yourself in their place...
All solar panels need to washed regularly to maintain efficiency because dust/sand build-up blocks sunlight. Now we have a dilemma, sun is abundant in desert but water by definition is not! So if you have these solar plans in desert area, they will have to fight for what little existing water there is with locals or devise ways to bring water where non exists.
I recall seeing stories in the news about locals fighting solar plants for water rights because the planners of the plans apparently forgot that water is scarce in those sunny deserts where they built the plants.
From reading all these comments, it's pretty obvious that a lot of you still have no clue what Islam is and the how truly fanatical it's followers are. I grew up in a muslim country and have had many muslim friends that explained to me that what it is and it is based on complete faith where questioning it is not allowed and if you're not a muslim, you must convert or die ( sooner or later) and muslims will pretend to be your friend until that time comes.
But don't take my words, here's a good read on history of Islam.

After reading it, you will probably see building of giant mosque in front of Wold Trade Center and several others within a few block radius in a whole new light...
Good point, another point is CO2 is heavier than air, so it stays down, not up where it would be blocking the heat from escaping.
That's also missing from pretty much every "Green" article.
In NY and NJ they used to issue you a ticket based on your toll collection stub if the calculated speed between the time you got the stub and paid for it was greater than the speed limit. It was struck down as unconstitutional many years ago.
Something about undue surveillance and other stuff that I don't remember and too lazy to look up right now.
So they made it better by making those that already pay, pay more in case someone who does not pay will show up at the emergency room and can't pay? Hmm, sounds perfectly logical...

I have to say you are either full of shit yourself or ignorant. I have several friends that are doctors and single biggest expense ( not counting the $250K + in student loans ) that they have is malpractice insurance. Some even had to close their shop and go work for a hospital because they could not afford it while still charging acceptable fees to their patients.
Reading CDC's website, it's quite interesting to see that according to them 36,000 people on average die from seasonal flu and that's during the flu season. H1N1 only caused what, roughly 500-600 deaths since begining of the year and according to them it's active the whole year.

Diesels are not as gutless a some may think. They are just tuned for low rpm performance, which is where those engines spend most of their life.
Some guys modify their turbo diesels with bigger turbos, bigger injectors, propane injection and nitros oxide to produce some STUPID power.

Amen brother! It's saddening how the western media choose to ignore when Georgia started shelling civilian targets in South Ossetia and then launched a full scale invasion. Georgians were preparing for it for 4 years and planned to do it in one day before Russia could interfere. But only when Russia responded a day and a half later did we here about and what we heard was "Russia Invades Georgia!". There are both sides to this story but in this particular case it was Georgia that was the aggressor. And let's not forget history. South Ossetia was given to Georgia by Stalin ( who is Georgian) in the 1950's. Prior to that Ossetia was it's own entity and they and Georgians have a mutual hatred for each other dating back centuries.
So when you hear that Georgia "lost it's territories" to Russian "aggression", stop and consider the real facts, not what news media is telling you!
They call it "search assistant". Basically if you try to search from address bar or mistype an address it hijacks your search from search provider you selected in your browser and redirects it to its own search page. "Opting out" does not really work all that well because it get's you to a page that says "oops we can't find what you were looking for" and then gives you a link that takes you to your preferred search provider. Very annoying to say the least.:-(
What I don't understand is why is everyone so obsessed with CO2. Humanity produces but ~2% of it, the rest is produced naturally by volcanoes, forest fires and such. If we all stop producing CO2 tomorrow, nothing will change, it's about time we realized that we are NOT gods and stop playing one. Yes, it's nice to have less pollutants in our cities but let's call it that and not the cure for global warming. Global warming is a natural process that has happened in the past without humans and will happen with or without them again.
