Everyone's a dirty tree-hugging liberal except me, and democracy should reflect that fact by making my opinion the only one that counts.

Well here's a pretty good one: Was 9/11 an Inside Job? | Cracked.com Or you could just google "pentagon wreckage". If you can get past the first few conspiracy sites, you'll see some with lots of wreckage. And that's also neglecting the fact that if a plane hits a building at a few hundred...

I tell you they don't exist because all the evidence points to the fact that they don't exist. The lack of any people from aircraft manufacturers, the government, or environmental science groups who believe in them is telling. The Iraq war was different, because a conspiracy to say there were...

In Ireland, we use single transferable vote, I tried to write an explanation of the system, but ended up making an awful mess of it, so I'm just going to post a link to it! Single transferable vote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There's an example of it which is pretty good.

Well, to be fair, I did say "most", and the figures would seem to back me up on that one, as America is overwhelmingly christian. I probably should have distinguished between religion and individual gods. And when I said you can't choose what to believe, I wasn't talking in terms of rights. If...

Only if I can have it on the Death Star canteen! ;)

Chemtrail conspiracy theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I am definitely denying that it's going on. The government are denying it's going on. The aircraft companies are denying it's going on. Like all conspiracy theories, it would require such a massive degree of collusion from so many...

A two-party system, as has evolved in the US and the UK with first-past-the-post democracy, is fundamentally undemocratic. When all a party has to to to be elected is not to be the other guys, something has failed deep down in the democratic process. Two examples, in the US, conservatives will...

You've stated before that you consider me to be evil. How would I be punished by your Christian Utopia? Death?

Nope, the length of time contrails stay in the air depends on weather conditions. The colder and stiller it is, the longer the ice crystals or water vapour from the jet exhaust will take to break up. Case in point: Normal clouds. Some clouds can last just a few minutes, but other clouds last for...

I think you'll find most people don't believe there are many gods, and they choose one of them. It's not like christians believe that Allah, Shiva and L. Ron Hubbard are divine entities, and they've just affiliated themselves with camp Jesus, because they like it best. Most people believe in a...

Without numbers, this is another wildly spun Daily Mail blog. I strongly doubt the nitrous oxide saved is anywhere close to the amount that would be saved had we grown crops instead of cows. Also the fact that this only applies to places where there is significant snow cover each winter, and...

You haven't heard Clirus' explanation of the Caesar quote. She believes... wait for it... that Jesus was being sarcastic when he said that!

Haha, it's well known we'd call a horse a sphere if it'd make it easier to analyse! ;) Could you build something that would exploit the yet-to be-widely-accepted theory of multiple membranes, depite huge amounts of testing being done in some of the world's most advanced laboratories, in your...

So how do you tell the difference when you see them over your house?

It should go back to traditional marriage, marry off your daughters in decreasing order of attractiveness to foreign royal families in decreasing order of army size!

:thumbsup: I agree. It'd be very easy to agree to being switched out like a light, gunshot-wound to the head sort of thing, but if you were being slowly and torturously killed, most people would begin to reconsider.

They're exhaust gases from aeroplanes (the correct term is contrail). You know on a cold day when you see the gases coming out the tailpipe of a car, same thing, because it's colder at altitude, and jet engines are huge. So they aren't really bad for your health except for the fact they contain...

It depends what you're talking about. In engineering it's sometimes convenient to treat pressure as potential energy, as there is an energy associated with a pressurised system. You're right though, I should have made a clearer distinction between pressure as a form of potential energy, and...

But something like Hiroshima is not necessary in a world where we can destroy a single, specific building or vehicle from 2000 miles away at the push of a button. Why kill millions of innocents when it's not absolutely necessary, as most people believe it was at Hiroshima (I personally believe...
