Hello there....... I'm FUMMING MAD. :x just read John Steinbecks - Wrath of Grapes was hard work for me, but end was dark and poingant. the whole story was very apt to our times given the credit crunch and all. BUT Having just watch the old film, they have totally twisted the ending to put a little ...

Hi Effie indeed there are no absolutely new and prototype ideas or ideas that have never been expressed in the past. However, we have nothing to lose (on the contrary, we can only gain) by bringing back and using to our benefit ideas that have been forgotten. We could even improve already existing i...

Hi B2B,

Yeah i think you are right about the space thingy, which ever way you look at it, it's a comin. I heard once somebody say this years medical outrage is the next decades standard practice. They went on to say we had all the same holler balloo over heart transplants and stuff.

Regards.

I don't know who said this but I kinda concur - 'There are no origonal ideas' ? Richard Feynman says in science we make a guess and compare by observation to see if the theory is falsified. If the theories predictions match observation then it is not proved wrong, if they don't match observation the...

Mark wrote There are a billion people starving to death as a result of a capitalist distribution of resources. What makes you think it's going to get any better? HOW WAS CHILD LABOR REDUCED IN TODAY’S DEVELOPED COUNTRIES? Four main changes took place: economic development that raised family incomes ...

hi Mark, but cannot be bothered to look up - pardon me :D and forgiven... :D - it doesn't in any way rule out the possible significance of an anthropogenic effect. First, I never rule out any anthropic effect, you see if you can find me doing so! Second, I can't rule out the possibility of little pi...

Hi Mark, I'm sorry I loose a great deal of respect for you here. You are telling me you are un-aware of the - (and i'm not bothering to look it up, and i'm no memory man) - there is a 100,000 year cycle in temperature variation on the eath which predicts/ fits the ice core data and has been corrolat...

Mark,

I'm sorry but you fail to deal with my argument because I refer to the larger scale cycles which are exibited by the wobble in the orbit of the earth around the Sun. Which we are due to incurr the heating from around now.

Hi Mark,

Halleluja, I have seen the light:

Interesting how you don't comment on my more serious point though.

Regards.

Mark, The Good Lord would not have provided us with such ample quantities of good forrestry and fossil fuels if he did not intend for us to make good use of it. Before moving on to clever Neuclear technology... Of all the millions of species he has seen wiped out I can only sumise the relative few t...

I heard this posser many years ago, it goes like this.... In 500years man finds that he is unable to make any new scientific descoveries. Many questions however remain and seem intractable, but not necessarily in themselves but in the limitations of human intelligence. The question is should we, if ...

Hi B2B. climate change is real, Skeptics don't really disagree here, it is to miss our point. the time and chance spent on skeptics, is like purposefully putting up a dirty not a clean coal company. why do either Reason dictates that we listnen to others, to draw your conclusions without exercising ...

Hi Mark, It 'may' have been an intelligent reply but debate isn't merely trading opinions. If I make effort to engage and make numerous points you need to address each one you don't agree with or show how my logic is flawed in drawing my conclusion. I appreciate it is easier to just bander opinions ...

You took your time, I'd already figured that out for my self.

Hi Mark, Here's the game. D71 America until relatively recently ignored and denied the man made global warming hypothesis. **********************Mark has no comment. D71 Proposition raising the question why has America for so long refuted this great crisis and now suddenly about turned. About which ...
