  1. In most european countries adolescents have the right to have sex with 14. Sending a picture of your self is not even close to that ...

    So good luck with that proposal ...

    Ah, BREXit ... I forgot about hat.

    I would take Wikipedia articles with a grain of salt.

    And regarding your quotes: second language ... probably you missed that.

    If I was you, I would be more concerned about people that can not "speak" (as in writing, but not necessary in "spelling") their first language properly :D

    JFYI:
    There is no uni degree in Germany that requires english or proper english, why should it? Oh ... I forgot: of course you can study "english" and then you probably might need "proper english" before you get accepted to the course of studies.

    On the other hand, what do you find wrong in his sentence? We learn in all the time: "in english commas are more or less optional". And besides for the lack of commata/commas I don't see anything wrong (albeit I would try to word it better ;D )

    Have you ever lived in central India, northern Brazil or the Gulf Emirates?

    The gulf burns coal? Are you certain?

    Replacing that with solar would be a big win.
    Of course it would. But what has that to do with the topic of my mini thread?

    We actually did have decades where the AGW theory was scientifically controversial
    Actually not. It only was "controversial" in the US popular press and for about a decade that "scepticism" suddenly got traction in other western presses.

    That global warming is a threat never was controversial amoung scientists who are interested in that topic and laymen who watched it. I'm 50 ... never meat one who was not concerned about it. But I live in a country where the climate shift of the last 40 years is clearly visible.

  13. In same countries ... that counts for EU e.g. your funding is determined by the university you are researching at.

    There is no magical funding because you "make press".

    Perhaps you should either reconsider your IDEA how funding works, or if the funding in your country in fact is such retarded: change the way how science is funded?

  14. Typical Leftist response

    What is that supposed to mean?

    So if I'm left: pro health insurance, pro unions etc. ... what responses do you expect from me if the topic e.g. is global warming or fund increase for the navy etc.?

    I don't get it.

    Why can I not have a political opinion without being labeled a "lefty" and why can I not be "left" without being supposed to have a particular opinion on a topic?

    Sorry, the US way of labeling opinions/political stances/ideas/arguments seems extremely NAZI to me.

    With all the money and all the back up and the power of being POTUS Trump has the chance to make history, in a positive way. At least for the USA. Somehow I however have the feeling he is doing an Erdogan, Stalin, Putin, Hitler, Franco, Musseline ... or an Idi Amin ...

    Based on how I understand the teachings of Islam
    Then you should learn about islam.

    It is their job, their purpose, to spread 1) Islam and the 2)Sharia law to every corner of the globe.
    No it is not.

    1) it is their Puprose to spread islam to the unbelievers. Which are heathens and/or Pagans. Which excludes by definition Jews and Christians and other religions that believe in the same god as Muslims do.

    2) wrong on all accounts. Traditional islam has nothing to do with late middle ages Sharia Law. Sharia law is spread/held up by idiots that are still stuck in the middle ages. Hint: Christian law was not very different to Sharia law in the middle ages.

    Islam - and by extension (an unknown sized subset of) muslims - does not.
    That is an idiotic claim. Muslims that emigrated from muslim countries are usually those that don't want to live under Sharia but want to live in a free society. A free society where they can celebrate and interpret Islam as they see fit and not as the Imam sees fit. As it was e.g. during the high times of Islam, when that "world view" was the most advanced of the planet, when science, medicine, art and philosophy where at their prime.

    But you likely never have heard about those times.

  20. ... about the Jew registries.

  21. If you want to nitpick then write Isis, because that is the Egyptian goddess.
    ISIS and IS are the same thing, just different abbreviations ... you should know that.

  22. And the rest of the world it makes curious what legal system you have in the US, that a senator simply can call someone to get a legal issue fixed ...

  23. The way how you end of the no fly list is a secret.
    Hence yo can't challenge it in court. Who cares if browsing history is included?

    Just a year ago a "muslim" family from -london wanted to fly to the USA. With an american airline. All bookings went fine. When they wanted to board in Heathrow, the Airline did not let them board. Two old mother and father with 7 kids. They payed for the flight alone 25,000 pounds. They where on a "no flight list" which the Airline "aparantly" was not aware about. Until they wanted to board. So far no refund for the flight tickets.

    How an old couple with lots of kids can be a terrorist threat, no one knows

    The Airline likes to keep the money ... interesting, too, isn't it?

    Thermal plpamts have an efficieancy of about 45%. So a 1GW electricity requires about 2.25GW heat. How much that in Joule is, you need to google.
    Regarding global warming we want to stop it at an average increase of about 2 degrees Celsius. In relation to that +2 degrees, the output of our electric power plants based on heat, can't be measured not even estimated, or do tou want me to write a number like: 0.00001 degrees C?
    Most countries cool their buildings by intelligent design of the houses. Or if they have AC they only cool a few rooms. It does not make any sense for most people to sit in a 18 degrees cold room when it is 40 degrees outside.
    As long as it is inside around 25 degrees and not particular humid I switch the AC off ... regardless of country or temperature. Usually I book rooms without AC ... significantly cheaper. And that those rooms even exist settles my point :)

    If you eat 10 food weight in fibres (as food is mainly water anyway) you double or triple the calory intake if you have the wrong gut bacteria.
    I think for links you have to google yourself, but it is known since over a decade.
    so I'm really doubtful what you've mentioned is problem in the real world.
    Only for some super fat with the wrong gut bacteria. I guess it comes with eating to much proteins, as such bacterias are usually living in the guts of cows and sheep etc.

    As for proteiens, a body building up muscles under heavy training can convert about 1g per 1kg body mass into new muscles per day.
    As long as you eat to much carbs and fat, the body is not really burning proteins, so eating more than a few grams per day is not necessary (you only need enough to replace dying cells)
