  1. It doesn't matter... if nobody saw you being killed, the clone would carry your info and be still be you.
  2. You got there in the end. You did but it just took him a while to bite through it.
  3. There's nothing worse than crap on a lens... They are so all or nothing.
  4. Wilfully ignorant
  5. All my life I've waited for this...
  6. Don't just think about yourself, think about those exploited all along the supply chain as well and the collateral effects... it's pretty horrendous. Just look at Mexico for how bad it can get societally.
  7. Yeah, maths is a drag; you have to actually learn it. Youtube's a lot easier.
  8. Isn.t the primary problem that multiple-choice exams introduce a statistical improvement in getting the right answer by sheer chance?
  9. I disagree in this instance. They lost their neutra;lity. Normally I see swings and roundabouts. <shrug> <sarc>
  10. No idea, Left-leaning ideology probably. When i wrote the OP I was feeling very annoyed because the BBC seems to have lost impartiality and neutrality on this matter. Methinkis they will be brought to task by review bodies concerned with this sort oversight when thingshave calmed down a bit.
  11. One must have the 'right' to recklessly endanger others without limit?
  12. If your eyesight was seriously failing, is it morally imperative that one should notify the driver licensing centre?
  13. You are blinded by commonsense.
  14. Just an example why "before" can make no sense: if time started with the BB, but the BB was just one stage in the evolution of the universe, what does "before" mean if time had not emerged before the BB? What are we using to gauge 'before' with since time did not exist? In this situation the universe operated under a different set of physics... possibly.
  15. This seems to be the main bone of contention at the moment. I'm in the camp that the vast majority are economic migrants exploiting the situation for a better economic life. My rationale is that they are not simply looking for the first safe refuge they come across but vociferously looking to settle in countries with the best welfare benefits, far beyond the first sites of safe refuge.
  16. Do you think they are presenting a narrowly judgemental and corporate viewpoint against those who don't agree with unfettered movement of migrants within Europe? It seems to me that they have taken a stance and are now using all the coporate machinery to emotively influence the political landscape on this issue. Here's a link to the current BBC page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news
  17. It takes insight to realise that you you don't know what you don't know.
  18. 'Fast' is a term with a short shelf-life in computing.
  19. I gave you it. For your poor attitude, which pervades in much of your questions. Nobody owes you anything and not everyone sees a question as the OP intended. Cest la vie.
  20. The OP's problem is " Everyone else is the problem, not me.". The OP wants the world to be like Douglas Adams's Puddle.
  21. Still loving life I see. Life permeates kilometres into the Earth's crust and oceans so I think, short of a suitably-sized asteroid, I think it's a no.
  22. Guns are a symptom of a deep-seated collective inadequacy, perhaps.
  23. Indications I've found suggest sugar impairs absorption, which makes sense, because osmosis direction will be towards diluting the sugar
  24. Yes, German wines are around the 9-11% and you can pay a very pretty penny for them. There is no correlation between alcohol content and quality. Done with appropriate care, higher proofs will last longer keeping-wise and mature more slowly.for potentially more complex flavours, but of itself, % proof means little.
