  1. Re:but but but.... on Nicaragua Gives Chinese Firm Contract To Build Alternative To Panama Canal · · Score: 1

    I guess the workers will cook and eat the fish that float to the surface of the 40x90 -mile- lake? Seems slightly wasteful.

    So, a truly massive freshwater lake is about to be flooded with salt water. What about all the fish/creatures/plants that live there?

    The concrete cure we are worried about is in the foundation, which must be poured on site, as far as we know. 28 days is the minimum cure time, usually more for structures this big.

    Prefab sections can be very strong, and as long as the connections are strong, then the building will stand. But i do agree, the concrete curing will be the main issue.

    This is exactly what i'm worried will happen. The building itself is well built from what i can see, but you can't prefab a foundation, and a real foundation takes time.

    We pull radioactive fuel out of the ground, refine it, deplete it (partially) then bury it again. Why does everyone not get this. It comes from the earth, and we return it there! When we return it, it's even slightly less radioactive than it started.

    FINALLY. An intelligent person brought a real argument. A good one too. However, i feel like 15 rounds should be plenty. I mean, do you really need to kill them 30 at a time? I'd use a tiger pit and a .308 to do that. A little planning a a good tractor will save you a lot of bullets, and likely be easier.

    People are dieing because our citizens cannot be trusted with these insanely effective weapons. Also, that mentality does not benefit our country. "BECAUSE I CAN" is a 4th grade excuse. Because i said so.

    Still no answer. Why do you need a 30 shot clip? I rent a house that is 107 years old, working on buying a house, because i need somewhere to house my projects. Why don't i take a bus or subway? I'm in West Virginia, we are lucky to have running water. My reasons are pretty sound. You need a reason to have C4. Like, say, removing buildings. You arn't allowed to use it for duck hunting, and you do not need it. You can't hunt with a 30 shot clip either, so you don't need it! The only reason to own a 30 shot clip, that is a real and valid reason that has enough strength to stand up against making them illegal, is the reason we want them illegal. They only exist to kill large amounts of people. That is why they were invented, and that is why they are made today. I seriously cannot fathom why a person needs one. And no one seems to be able to come up with the most basic of reasons. Come on. If you wish to win a debate, at least SHOW UP.
