Wondering if the Soviets received such as lend-lease and other supplies from the Allies during WW2 via the Pacific? I understand they received considerable via the Baltic - but have never heard any references to the Pacific. Did Japan interdict supply? Were Soviet ports insufficient...

AF was a series ages ago - I haven't seen the trailer, but I think a movie would suck - I thought the series sucked. I read some drivel about it being some art/amazing work defining genre crappola - nah, it's just the usual cheapas animation coupled with a derivitive story. It will...

Just to be a pain - the U2 nuclear bomber suggested may not make sense, while it is my understanding that was solely a semi-stealth covert recon aircraft. Something like the B1 Lancer may be more appropriate... http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/bomber/index.html

Hazy on sources, but it's my understanding that whilst there were about 15 oceanic 'elevators' driving the Gulf Stream :hmm: It's late, thats the atlantic current one right? Well, of the 15 only 3 are still in existence... As I said, hazy on sources, but I do recall they seemed both very...

A key trend is the obvious increase over the last 100 years - seeming period of greatest statistical accuracy - and increasing :hmm: increase - this appears to bare no relation to such 'natural' changes as induced by solar activity, etc - unless, of course, the 'naturalists' are arguing another...

Depending on the affect of global warming - it seems to me that there will most certainly be an affect, but that we can minimise that by addressing the causes. Ultimately, though, humans will survive, we're adaptable - that doesn't mean poorer people, with their consequently lesser ability to...

So the answer is, yes, it's acidic, and, no, you don't have to worry a bit - because you didn't leave it on for 2 weeks + :D

Theory developed over one hundred years with study and input from hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention what is fact: Psychology is eminantly capable of predicting behaviour/reaction. Meanwhile, your opinion is also theory, but apparently considered more worthwile than the...

While I'm clearly not demonising sex, it's equally obvious what I'm getting at. You said something as to 'they'd like sex with the teacher'. I said something as to 'they'd like being high on crack'. The obvious inference is that not all one enjoys whether momentarily or on an extended...

"My main qualm here is not the drinking laws or driving laws or even consent laws it's with the fact that until a certain age youths are considered the property of their parents and can have little to no say about where they live." In a non-abusive familial relationship, it seems to me that...

Equally it appears to be much more likely that abuse committed by females is emotional. It's still abuse.

Ah, but you must figure in how much more food you eat, and where that food comes from and how efficient it was grown, transported, and sold :hmm: Where's the Groucho smilie when you want it...

Last I heard photovoltaic efficiency was to chlorophyll as coal locomitive is to diesel. Where did you here about this? :) Not hassling, just interested to know...

I could have liked crack, as I have liked other drugs I've tried - that didn't make them a good thing. I think you're looking at the issue with extreme simplicity - at odds with the simple realities of biology and psychology - and as equally as you suggest a simple condom will suffice to...

Apparently, and certainly in agreement with official US statistics, a male is no more likely to sexually abuse a family member than a female - which is highly suggestive that, contrary to popular opinion, a male is no more likely to be a sexual predator than female. Certainly, in other than...

I am reminded of a recent study hypothesising only two outcomes of a human reaction - as it happened, both were correct... Regardless of specifics, I would suggest that your assumption may be either based on predjudice, or lack of experience in the field. Your assertion as to them being...

While, obviously, crap can have a number of meanings - I would suggest that a crap company can be large and even profitable - as equally as an idiot can have wealth and earn more wealth despite their incapability - much like the saying, 'money breeds money'...

Assuming you refer to obvious assumptions about male tendencies toward violence/rape. I recall State Department - I think that Department - statistics showing virtually equal cases of sexual abuse as perpetrated by male and female - suggesting that, contrary to popular opinion, a male is no...

There's also the point that psychology is not the discipline it was in Frued's time - even as many/most of his theories are akin to the model-t of cars. Psychology tends to be at a stage where it can predict behaviour with a far higher than average ratio of success. Psychology of sexual...
