  1. Yeah, but... on NASA Says 2010 Tied For Warmest Year On Record · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's the temperature plotted over the last 32 years http://reason.com/blog/2011/01/06/global-temperature-trend-upate not as dramatic as you might think.

    Well, when the vid feeds start coming back of people crying and having anxiety attacks on mars from the isolation and lack of hope and motivation... it would become a pretty ugly adventure.

    Many men have given their lives for much less. To anyone that wishes to go, all I can say is Godspeed!

  5. $$ 1 million dollars if you can prove it's haunted on Running Your Own Ghost Investigation? · · Score: 1

    I would take a good quality film camera and a tape recording system. Temperature shifts, etc. do not mean it's haunted. If you want proof of a ghost, you're going to have to document it visually or aurally. Some people believe that analog devices (tape and film) are better for this sort of thing. The good news is that if you can prove that place is really haunted, there's a million dollars in it for you: www.randi.org. The bad news is that ghosts don't exist. The concept comes from fiction. The burden of proof is on the one making the claim & Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. See also www.skeptic.com.

    Probably the closest you can come to that sort of life is to go hardcore backpacking in alaska, or the upper peninsula of Michigan. But even then, you really start to appreciate things like goretex, bug spray, water filtration, cooking fuel, etc. Plus, the social rules of modern civilization will still hold.. so you're much less likely to get raped or murdered. We are so far removed from the true hunter gather experience that it's easy to glamorize it. It wasn't a party.

    well, the modern life is about 10^6 times more pleasant than the hunter gatherer existence, so i will disagree with you there.

    If this happened, it would be because a government decided to sell the rights to naming such things... as a source of revenue for "public projects"

  9. Re:Imagine that ... on Pope Says Technology Causes Confusion Between Reality and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I agree with you here. Media can give us a false impression of reality.. which makes it difficult for us to be good to each other. that's all hes saying. What's funny is that if the guy had an Asian accent all these hipsters would be tripping over themselves to add his quotes to their facebook profile.. http://www.cracked.com/article_18821_5-examples-americans-thinking-foreign-people-are-magic.html

    Can you please cite a primary source for your belief that this man "adtively (sic) protects, supports, defends and hides known repeat paedophiles..." hmmm? A little bit of research and knowledge would go a long way.. but I suppose diarrhea of the mouth is more fun.

    Apparently Fr Luke was on the radio this morning and said he has removed the decal.

    "However, he does not have the right to rip off someone's trademark any more than another company has." Yeah, but does that change if it's a personal car for personal use and not operated by the church? This is the case is in this situation. For example, should you have the right to put a Vegi Squad sticker on your car?

    It doesn't matter. I am sure he doesn't have the money to fight Best Buy and will probably just remove the sticker from his car.

    Well like most people, it sounds like you're in favor of restricting the rights of others because they have different beliefs. Sad.
