That's a matter of opinion. The main reason we have the palestinian problem is that Isreal will not allow them to return because recognising them as citizens would fuck up their majority jewish demographic. The gigantic palestinian concentration camps have a different history to South African Apartheid but the end result is the same.
No matter which way it is translated it's just empty rhetoric for domestic consumption. Bush labeling Iran as part of the "axis of evil" and then invading two bordering countries to the north and the west of Iran is what a credible threat looks like.
Whenever somebody writes "of" instead of "have" I imagine some retard, toothless, inbred redneck, barely able to talk like a human being, fucking a pig and yelling "yehaw!".
My pig is fussy, she likes rednecks but would never sleep with a retarded grammar nazi.
He's not naive, you're just ignorant. The reason the UN secuirity council does not touch Israel is because the US routinely vetos any reolution or even a statement that would critize Israel. Even when the US does allow a resolution to pass, they veto any further action when Israel blatantly ignores it. In other words it is the US that exists to protect the bald headed racists, not the UN. As the GP said the UN security council exists to prevent a nuclear holocaust, it's five permenant members have fought each other for 60yrs via proxy wars (Israel and Saudi Arabia being the major US proxies in the middle east). Yes that is totally immoral and cynical, but still it's peacefull when compared to all out nuclear war..
"Is there enough statistically significant clear, objective data that is available to be verified that indicates anything with any amount of confidence?"
Yes, it's a statistical certainty that Senator James M. Inhofe is corrupt.
I should also point out that in all of the cases of people I know being burned by social media posts, not one of them learned their lessons, and they all continue posting things that can and probably will be used against them in the future. Social Media is akin to any other addiction, and I don't trust the addicts for the obvious reasons.
Get a sense of law and morality... [snip]... I cannot believe the support yielded to this shithead on/.
Perhaps you should take a good look in the mirror, your support for the prosecuter's mockery of the spirt and intent of pedophila laws is not only in bad taste, it is utterly immoral. To paraphrase the immortal words of Larry Flint - He's not guilty of anything except bad taste.
The US (with the blessing of the Aussie government) has already convicted one Aussie of being a terrorist using retrospective law, what makes you think the constitution will stop them from doing it to another Aussie?
IMHO, Astronomers forget to use the word visible, when they say universe.
I don't think they forget, I think they know it's redundant since traditionally "the Universe" (uppercase 'U') is everything, and "the universe" (lowercase 'u') is the visible universe.
Natural methane emissions from non-microbial life is inconsequential to climate, The influence of livestock wrt climate is about land use, not farting. Atmosphere-vegetable-animal-atmosphere is a closed loop. Some methane from microbial life (eg: melting permafrost) is a +ve feedback, not a forcing. This is the attribution graph you're looking for.
Getting the Federal government involved is a stupid idea and you have no idea how complex sales tax is.
The stupidity is in thinking that a multitude of different sales tax systems in a single nation can be anything but grossly inefficient. Australia (a federation of states) had exactly the same problem with similar loop holes and headaches for business. The cure (in a nutshell) was for all state sales taxes to be replaced by a single federal sales tax (10% GST) which is then divided up and given back to the states via a formula negotiated between the states. To implement this system all of the states had to agree to cead their constitutional power to collect sales tax to the feds. It would never work in the US because a large proportion of the states ( and Fox news) would brand it as communisim, a federal power grab, or both.
"On a good day your lucky to get 30% of the data-plate output"
No, 30% of capacity is the AVERAGE output of a wind farm, including days that they don't turn. On a "good day" you're getting close to 100% of capacity..
Coal also has similar problems with output efficientcy, you need to build 7 coal plants to get the capacity of 6 since they are down for maintinance for 6-8 weeks per year. You need to build them with a higher capacity than the average draw because of the daily peaks in demand, you need to build gas turbines to take care of roughly 4+ hrs per day around the peak when the draw exceeds the capacity. You have to waste fuel spining wheels at night when the draw is lower than the invariant output.
Randomly variable output (wind) has the same basic problem as invariant output (coal), neither method can efficiently match the daily demand curve.
People keep saying "nuclear reactors" as if it was some kind of magical chant that overcomes all technical and political considerations. Currently mankind generates ~13TW globally by burning 14,000,000 tons of coal per day. To replace that with nukes by 2050 would require building two reactors a day for the next 40 years, to replace it with wind we need to build 900-1000 windmills per day for the next 40 years, to replace it with solar we need ~400 sq kilometrs of solars cells (in total, not per day). The task is massive but we have already spent the last 40yrs doing exactly the same thing with coal plants and hardly anyone noticed them popping up like mushrooms.
The only sensible way to do this is to force coal burners pay for their externalities or force them to stop burning by putting a blanket ban on new coal plants, which brings us to the real roadblock, political will. Either option will be, (in fact has been for decades), percieved as a death threat by one of the world's most economically powerfull industries.
Yes but when congress realised that millions were being spent keeping them in comfort instead of discomfort, the place would be shut down in a heart beat.
"Wakefield was pursued to extremes because big pharma stood to lose their new cash cow."
Wakefield was pursued by ordinary scientists because his bullshit was dangerous, his fraudulent claims were motivated by money. If there were any justice in the world his dishonesty, greed and disregard for the health of others would land him behind bars.
"There is no legal cash limit for drug liability but there are caps on vaccines. This from way back to promote acceptance."
WTF, how does limiting liability "promote acceptance"? Do you routinely shun products with a guarantee in favour of a pig in a poke?

Mercury is a wonder drug, imbibing a single glassfull of the silvery elixir will cure any malady, including autisim.
Those people would have otherwise died a week later from something else.
Bullshit, you don't have to already be on deaths doorstep to die of flu, you just have to get a bad case of pneumonia from it.

How many people actually pay for an encyclopedia of any kind from any source?
Before the 90's it was very common for middle class parents to spend a month's wages on a set of encyclopedia (at least it was here in Oz).
Nature builds minds from normal matter, if nature can do it then it's only a question of time before we are able to copy her.
