    I'm fed up with those people because as it stands their huge SUV's would obliterate my car and half the cars on the roads in an accident and result in more fatality. SUV's (and trucks) also grind my gears by how much they restrict visibility. It's not an enviable position to be the only car on...

    Could Alien science and epistemology be incomprehensible to humans?

    This idea has always been my theory on aliens. We're busy looking for signs of water thinking that could lean to signs of life on Mars, but why does it have to? Just because we need water to survive doesn't have to mean anything to alien beings, I mean they are alien afterall

    Ever been in the room when someone died?

    I was sitting downstairs with my dad, who had cancer, watching Lost and I said something regarding the show and didn't get an answer and then I heard a really strange hissing sound which I guess was his final breaths leaving him and saw his hand which was near his face sliding down. I'll never...

    The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XVII

    When hydrogen cars become common with the infrastructure to support them, how much will it be to get a full "tank", or charge, or whatever. And how far will you go on one? Will it be as expensive as gas, or very very cheap? I mean they still have to make a profit and from what I understand...

    Your least favourite insect!

    This! We have them in my apartment because our bathroom has no ceiling fan and thus stays very humid for them. When you wake up at 2am to go do your business and you see one crawling around the floor, you go to sleep uneasy Plus, their bigger brothers look like this

    Meanwhile in Libya...

    I'm personally against arming the rebels (especially with anything other than small arms), we tried the same thing in Afghanistan and just ended up getting shot at by our own weapons. France can arm the rebels, no reason why we in the state should have to pay for it after launching several...

    Massive Earthquake and Tsunami strikes Japan

    I'm not normally one for sappy appraisals of people, but seriously, the 180 or so engineers working at the plants to try to stop the crisis are giving themselves a death sentence to save many times more people and I think we all owe them some gratitude for what they are trying to do, even if we...

    Bacon sells for £23million

    If I had 23 million to drop on something, it certainly wouldn't be a painting. Maybe I'm not refined enough.

    Will Emerging Powers Ever threat the USA in the 21 century ?

    Ding ding ding. Sure, the UK is obviously responsible for seeding the English language all over the world, but its rapid post WW2 growth as the lingua franca in countries the UK did not establish, I'm going to chalk that up to the United States' economic and cultural clout

    Will Emerging Powers Ever threat the USA in the 21 century ?

    Well those are my sources Maybe, you guys sure did a good job upholding it with your Napoleon's, Hitler's, Mussolinis, Franco's, Stalin's, Lenin's, Ceauşescu's. Absolutely right, but how long has it been since England has had anywhere close to the level of influence needed to keep...

    Will Emerging Powers Ever threat the USA in the 21 century ?

    No, but many countries implemented a democratic, free speech system where none had existed before. English is the lingua franca in the business world and has been since WW2. Of course they don't all speak English, but why is it taught in many European primary schools? Could it be because of...

    Your grandpa's war stories

    My grandfather stormed the Easy Red section of Omaha beach, campaigned all the way through France and was in Patton's 3rd army. During the Battle of the Bulge, he was up on a telephone pole repairing a connection and heard Ike talking to someone (yes he basically tapped the line hahaha)...

    Will Emerging Powers Ever threat the USA in the 21 century ?

    Fair enough, but how about the 'soft power' the United States has? The world eats our food, watches our movies, listens to our music, speaks our language, visits our websites (all to varying degrees, of course). Hell, post WW2, modern European societies along with Japan basically remodeled...
