Agreed.

ijbakwismkth I've just broken a key where I've slapped my keyboard too hard.

My point was that we've created global warming and global dimming. If global dimming is cured...we're gonna be screwed!

The problem is achieving a steady state without dramatic changes. We've created our own (very temporary) steady state through global warming...and pollutants in clouds causing global dimming, so solar radiation is having more of a problem getting through, whilst the release of energy through compounds in the atmosphere is raising the GMST. I had a couple of ideas...though a bit far fetched. Maybe a GM crop that releases CO2 into the ground through the roots only, not sure how that could be achieved ? Breeding of vast blooms of phytoplankton that consume C02 and somehow obtain the carbon clouds that get released in the ocean...and storing this carbon very deep indeed, where the carbon cycle is slow. These methods would have to be done on a vast scale to succeed. At the same time cutting down emissions so more solar radiation is getting through to keep the mild climate...and if the former is successful, not plunging us into a premature ice age. I've just been covering this subject in my course...though only half way through the section, so it's probably daft.

There's quite simply no need for this bill (as stated earlier) anti-discrimination already covers beliefs. This is what I was trying to point out with the motives of the bill, it's simply to make our government 'look good.' You can't draw a line on religous hatred...what's offensive to one person, isn't to another, despite how strong their beliefs are. It's very easy to twist an opinion so it's deemed as hatred towards religion, especially when dogma's involved...so how do you gauge such a bill ? As for the right wing extremists - can you really see them getting any momentum in their crusade towards white supremacy...I doubt it, these groups have been around for decades, and have achieved very little. I'm talking post World War 2 before anyone starts. I personally think attack on beliefs is arrogant and pointless, and I in no way agree with it, but to make it illegal is not going to solve the problem IMO, it will make the subject even more of a taboo than it already is at present...I'm not sure many people would feel very comfortable with that at all.

This bill to me, seems synonymous to the UK's 'soft touch' approach to other nations and beliefs. This law is merely covering the governments back in a global respect...so the UK can never be accused of being anti-anything. Of course it effects our freedom of speech...and is an attempt to make our government look like saints. This is UK politics in a nutshell, they're so wrapped up in what other countries think of us, that through their cowardice and paranoia, the people that suffer are the actual residents of the UK.

Leave George Bush alone, he's just misunderstood, that's all. Oh if only my eyes we're on the soles of my feet. There's nothing better than to read inconcise, incoherent, and illogical crackpot theories on SFN, I love wasting my time trawling through pages of drivel. Look he's not mad, he really is the Son of God. I love internet explorer...it's so secure !

So, I thought the theme for my fancy dress party should be, internal organs of the human body. Your fart has made me feel really hungry. You lucky thing, I've always wanted to be in a car crash. Michael Jackson, wow, I havn't seen you for thirty odd years, you havn't changed a bit! I love it when I double post.

Thanks YT2095 ! Very true.

Ha ha...cheers, and there's me thinking I was gonna get flamed for being a bit nuts, and being rash and quite rude on occasion (tempting fate maybe.) I guess nobody can accuse me of being boring.

Check the announcements forum.

Herpguy, with regards to what Insane Alien said you've made some good posts...and you're only 11, keep it up, I'm sure you'll do very well in the future.

Oh wow, thanks Herpguy...I own a few GALS (Giant African Land Snails) hence the name. They're hibernating at the moment, I'm going to wake them up in a few weeks (when the weather warms up a bit)...can't wait.

Here's a link...(Directors of Health Promotion and Education) If you're really concerned probably best to go to a doctor just to be sure, if your not displaying any of the symptoms then you're probably fine. http://www.astdhpphe.org/infect/toxo.html

Well so far for me it's [math]E=mc^2[/math] simple, elegant and holds far reaching implications.

I'm not sure whether you should be a scientist or a stand up comedian Insane Alien...your acronyms were hilarious. Bascule you still remain one of the main reasons I've stuck with SFN...just hope I didn't cause to much contention with my views on Dawkins attacking religion.

Alien.

It's the marriage of science and sound, not to be confused with silence. I am of course joking.

'Sigh', if only my penis was smaller. Darling, we simply must visit Albania this year...I hear it's delightful.

That's something (without shadow of a doubt) someone would never say. I love queueing!

This thread goes back to my school days when I used to listen to 'Steve Wright in the afternoon' on bbc radio one...it's quite simple, just follow the title. A few examples. I wish this spot was on the end of my nose. (SFN specific) No wonder creationism is popular, the evidence is irrefutable. I wish they'd bring back window tax, it makes so much sense.

rfw Relativity's for wimps

We've manipulated tools to such an extent they have an effect on GMST...in essence we've created an environment we can't compete with. We kick our own arses!

The group of mammals that have three to four stomachs are called ruminants...cows, sheep, goats have four stomachs...camels three. This link shows the digestive anatomy of a cow, hope it helps... http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/herbivores/rumen_anat.html

This has what to do with psychiatry and psychology ? Don't answer that, for the love of God, don't answer that ! Sunspot, you are a legend - perhaps you should invent the perpetual drivel machine. I'm sorry to be harsh, but most people give up about 200 posts earlier than you...please listen to reason. I've written some utter tripe on SFN as well, but I listen to what other people have to say, and take advice and move on...I suggest you do the same.
