  1. This guy was a total psychopath just waiting to happen, no warning at all. What are those "experts" thinking? Of course, anybody who would open loose on a bunch of children of his own descent and then boast about how easy it was surely has a number of screws loose and there probably wasn't any viable deterrent, but I still think something that bad shouldn't be excused.
  2. But how would this kind of treatment deter a first time offender such as this mass murder?
  3. Norway is one of the best places to live surely for reasons other than lax judicial systems. A lax system for small offenses might not be too bad, but this latest mass murderer is kind of an example of what can happen when a screwed-up idealogue decides he wants to be above the law and try to preach in the most insane way possible. The most heinous crimes should have a deterrent in place.
  4. I'll stick with the standard model.
  5. And regarding the neutrino thing, if the whole purpose of the experiment is to fire the neutrinos through the earth (that is the purpose, right?), then how is the elevation of the two sites even relevant? I mean, sure, the thing has to do its everyday job of detecting coordinates, but whats so hard about that? Seems like too basic of an undersight to expect out of Cern for such an experiment, even if my understanding of the details is off.. edit:referring to Japan experiment.
  6. So let me get this straight. Pushing gravity is actually just gravity as applied to dark matter. Regular matter amasses the way it does, but non-baryonic matter,or ether?, doesn't interact with light nor does it interact with regular matter either, but their effects on gravity do affect each other, causing regular matter to flow one way, to gravitate towards the planets, systems, etc., and the dark matter to flow, well towards the halos?
  7. Overcrowding is always a factor to consider. Plus, in more advanced nations, it's understandable that they might be more geared towards rehabilitation, developing functioning members of society.
  8. I've also been thinking about how remarkably simple things stars are. Basically, they're just fires burning, confined by the gravity that they impose, a really small set of chemical reactions and nothing more, almost entirely consisting of hydrogen fusing into helium, no membranes, no nucleic acids delegating instructions, just a fire burning, err fusing.
  9. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/is-the-sec-covering-up-wall-street-crimes-20110817?stop_mobi=yes Finally got a load of this case. This one just about says it all. Investigation after investigation killed by SEC higherups over and over before they really get developed. Big investment banks hiring key SEC personnel to cushy jobs to get the inside track and help perpetuate above-the-law dealings. All culminating in what should be a landmark case involving Goldman Sacchs starting next month? Next up, I'm trying to figure out how overstock.com is involved, proudly displaying the news involved of this case.
  10. I did a search on Google Scholar for "hatred causes cancer" and got no hits, another one for "stress causes cancer" didn't bring up anything directly either, but "stress contributes to cancer" brought up the first one from 2007, but alas, it was payperview.
  11. Just from a brief scan of the wiki, I can see that is absolutely nothing extraordinarily remarkable about this site. Basic neolithic construction based on most likely a hunter gatherer culture. Megalithic construction of up to 50 tons. This is the last site I would use for extraterrestrial intervention, but frankly, that's such a dead issue among knowledgeable circles that it's not even an issue.
  12. While I can't argue about the benefits of eating seafood, especially of the coldwater variety such as salmon and sardines, you did know that beef generally has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, whereas chicken generally has an inflammatory effect on the body, cumulatively causing discomfort and disease more than the aforementioned as long as fat consumption is restricted, right? For some reason, I thought you knew that. http://www.nutritiondata.com
  13. Why the ban of beef?
  14. Does time need another dimension? Does a line need to be shaped like a box?
  15. Is it that the space is plastic, or that time is? In my eyes, probably only one is and that they are not necessarily married to each other, like space is plastic but time is just a measuring stick. If the rate of time slows as the rate of motion increases, my gut tells me that space is the thing that is plastic because it is the only thing connecting the two.
  16. Do you have any evidence to support your idea?
  17. If he was unduly influenced because his mothers were especially exuberant while also obviously pushing him towards a gay lifestyle , and later in life, after he developed a more well-rounded perspective, perhaps developing lots of shame about what his mothers put him through (not using this case as an example) ...
  18. Cap, Ok, I think I kind of see where you're coming from and agree that my initial accusations were a bit unfounded without any evidence to go off of. Aside from that, what do you all think about a parent's "right" to raise his/her child anyway they please with respect to molding pressures, guiding them to make decisions a certain way, etc., provided it adheres to the letter of the law, ie. no abuse, etc. What if a mother was always dressing up a boy in girl's dresses, or teaching them that homosexuality is the right way to live at the age of 3, feeding them any of that sort of misinformation. I mean, obviously, if he is definitely, genetically straight, I suppose he should grow up in disgust or mad at his parents or whatever. But if he had a few factors, nothing definite, but the nurturing was enough to tip the tables into doing something which he later regretted. Would this be considered child abuse in California?
  19. Not yet, and if they are ever discovered, they will be considered bosons, which are just terms defining forces, a la another word for gravity, presto, graviton! I don't really see what is holding up the process. We already know so much about gravity to define all of its characteristics. Maybe science is hesitant to be so blatant about renaming a force as a particle, when it is so commonly discussed in the mainstream, in order to avoid lots of unnecessary confusion. However, I'm pretty sure somebody will come along and clarify why gravity can't be particalized yet. Good question.
  20. Ah-hah, I just read that he was Deputy Chairman of the KC Federal Reserve Bank, aside from his time as CEO, so this isn't your average not-so-accounting-savvy CEO. He should have a pretty good understanding of the inputs and ouputs of the standard model of business language and what he is doing by not acknowledging this big hole in his plan amounts to trying to pull the wool over peoples' eyes. He obviously would know that his "plan" adds up to nothing useful, but continues promoting it as a gimmick. Sounds like a naive, ridiculous strategy that any sound business-minded strategist should easily be able to pick apart, unless he also figures out a way to reduce spending by a trillion dollars and pay the national debt, as well.
  21. What causes a three year old to identify as the opposite sex? It makes no sense! At that age, he should be innocent of sexual factors. So why would he even raise the issue?
  22. Is something wrong with your computer that you are not able to read the link, or are you just so anti-Fox that it is not considered a reasonable source? If that is the case, believe me, I understand, but in the past few months, they have been softening their stance to a degree and allowing a bit more of a balanced selection of articles. They are just one of a number of news sources that I peruse. So read away, or is your antivirus software keeping you from reading that site? I see a number of doctors cited in the article. Did you just not read past the first page? You have to click the link to read the whole article. I posted the wrong link to the preliminary page. But I admit, I don't know much about gender identity disorder. I just have a hard time believing that a three year old raised in a NORMAL environment would say such a thing. I wonder what the ratio of children under 5 identifying as the opposite sex is under heterosexual parents, as opposed to under homosexual parents.
  23. Just for the record, I don't have anything against lesbians, per se. But people from any walk of life with predispositions toward any number of idiosyncracies are capable of just about anything. There are no absolutes. Despite any of my speculation, the entire article speaks for itself. The very act of giving him hormone blockers is in itself immoral and most likely biased.
  24. Since when did innocent little children have any clue about such things anyway? Since it isn't really a crime to educate kids early, but 6 or 7 years old? And what does a 3 year old know about anything? If a 3 year old spouts out, "I'm a girl.", such as in this case, what would prompt such a statement? It's not like he's done years of soul-searching to arrive at the conclusion. It's not like he's got years of wisdom to draw from. At three years old, he would be struggling to form complete sentences, unless maybe you think God made him say that, but somehow I doubt that. It is kind of a weird phenomenon I'm hearing about, but I still say that its the parents' faults for growing them up at 80 mph without exercising any restraints (not really sure exactly what that entails), or even worse, putting these ideas into their heads because of the parents' own idiosyncracies or skewed judgments. He really shouldn't even know what he's talking about, but yeah his mother is probably a topless dancer without a clue or care in the world.
