to attract insects which then clean the wound by eating all the infected gunk? : P -

how does a cars speedometer work? my brother suggested some kind of friction based device, where the faster one piece is turning the more the piece touching it gets raised. i was very disappointed to find that howstuffworks didnt have an entry for this one : (

feel free to correct my grammar all you want. when you highlight it your trying to make a point.

he might be right because of that. given the fact that hes very very very shy, the way he would ask might come out creepy. if he could do it with a little confidence in a friendly way it would be fine though. The words of a muderer truely lacking in cruel creativity. i know you were just trying to make some stupid point about my poor grammar making it ironic for me to call someone stupid, but if your gonna be a total douche about something you might as well go all the way. you forgot to correct the lack of an apostrophe in "cant".

if so, shed be stupid. you cant murder someone via phone. you shouldnt ever change your personality for a girl. if, however, the way you act makes it impossible to have a normal, healthy social life... that maybe something you would choose to change. by all means, work to be more comfortable socially... just dont change who you are for anyone. i chose to ignore the rest of that post because its all just you finding a way to shoot down everything anyone suggests.

which has what, exactly, to do with the question?

is it true that if a woman has a lot of sex her vagina will be looser? i heard somewhere that this particular rumor was untrue, and that no matter how much a woman has sex her vagina will go back to being roughly the same as it started out. facts?
-
i didnt say there was no evidence refuting it, i said YOU dont know anything about it. all of your information comes from a biased source. you know nothing about the details and motivations behind any of it. all countries practice PR in everything they ever do... get over it. the invasion wasnt PR, the way they presented it was, which yes, is propaganda. but as i said this is something EVERY country does whether you notice it or not. your suggesting that all of those hundred thousand people were innocent civilians? i believe i mentioned some bad people being in the military. that doesnt work as an argument against an entire nation. and yet again, i have to point out that you know nothing about the details or motivations behind any of it. it should definately be looked into, but by some people with far better access to actual facts than you. also known as a debate. yeah.... cause i said all of that...and i definately didnt just get done calling the president an incompetant moron.

which has been my main point this whole time. i think there are some things we shouldnt mess with yet, but when you can identify an embryo that is going to have cancer, and instead choose a different one, thats a pretty clearcut choice.

it wasnt a dog, therefore it was a fish. everything every administration does is with the intention of producing a desired response. if they knew that there was no connection between Iraq and al qeda, and they had to know it would be thoroughly investigated if they chose to invade, why would they tell the public that this was their reason to invade? they were trying to lose face with the entire planet? they wanted their approval rating in the toilet? they wanted to be seen as a bunch of criminals who bombed a country for oil? my belief on what happened (generally) is that the bush administration saw Iraq as a threat, whether it was originally for links to 9/11 or just because it was being run by a psychotic, murderous tyrant. i dont know if links to al qeda were the original reason, or just convienient things to tell the public to create support, but i believe they found some minor ties, which obviously didnt pan out, and then they exagerated their confidence in these ties (you cant tell your country your sending their sons to war because you think they might be linked to terrorism maybe), and then went about performing the overly good act of removing a horrible person from power. no lies, just an attempt at good PR gone wrong. ok, very very wrong. i can tell you that war has casualties on the side, and i can tell you that there isnt a single US soldier that is twisted enough in the head to shoot, or attempt to blow up a 10 year old boy that he believes is unarmed. there are some bad people in the military, but there are also some good ones, to the point where i think someone that messed up might get put down by his comrades in a heartbeat. so... when fighting against a bunch of militia holed up in a city, its sort of expected that there would be some innocent casualties. theres nothing anyone can do about it, short of pulling out of Iraq right now. leaving now would probably result in a lot of violence for control of the country and would probably end up with another saddam in place. so they are going to continue fighting this war until the place is cleaned up enough to get along on its own without tearing itself apart, and some innocent people are going to die along the way. **it happens. i dont appreciate that generalization. just because i few stupid army brats tied up and abused some naked iraqis doesnt mean the country as a whole doesnt care about human rights. everyone who was found to be involved was punished according to the extent of their involvement.

my personal argument would be that humans are incapable of tampering with nature, since we are a part of nature. we have this issue where we feel the need to be special. it seems to have manifested in a belief that we are somehow above and seperate from the rest of nature because we have more intelligence. i disagree with that. were animals, just like the birds out there building their nests. we just learned to pick, and combine our building materials a little better than they did. but aside from that whole argument... if allowing an individual with a negative allele to survive is tampering with nature, then i would say that artificially suppressing that allele would counteract it, becuase the end result is still that the allele is no longer passed on.

yes' date=' to both. i think it would serve you well to read my post again. a few points: 1. you have no facts. you have information from the media, which is biased practically by definition. they practice making things look differently than they are on a regular basis. this is something people do a lot, and im not sure why. you dont KNOW anything. all you have to go by on things like this are biased reports from third parties. its not reasonable to not decide anything for yourself because of this, but to act high and mighty like someone else is stupid for not agreeing is retarded. 2. no where in that report does it mention anything that is necesarily a lie. a lie is intentional deciept. given the fact that the president is a moron its entirely possible that he was fully confident in his information. hearing that osama had requested aid from iraq would probably be more than enough to convince him. 3. whether the presidents stated reasons for invading Iraq were true or not, i still have trouble finding a reason why removing a man like saddam from power could be a bad thing. or even be something that doesnt make the world a much better place.

" but then I'm assuming they know that the "evidence" that linked Saddam to 9/11 were lies." ive never seen any convincing argument that that statement, or any other like it, is any less propaganda than the evidence it talks about.

thats all well and good, but saying it doesnt have a rule book is garbage. every language is based on the ones before it, all the way back to grunting. just because enlish is based on others doesnt mean it doesnt have rules. hereditary is currently pronounced with the H thoroughly intact.
-
honor has a silent H here too. hereditary does not.
-
awesome! certainly a slippery slope, but i think this is more of a good than an evil. PS. i would like to note that just because you brits can figure out how to make an "H" sound doesnt mean you can butcher grammar with things like this: "an hereditary" what next? "an hole"?
-
that sounds pretty rediculous. the only difference in how you use your hands is that you usually require one of them to be more precise. if i do something precise with my left hand im going to damage my brain? i guess typing is making all of us brain damaged : P

i understand the prinicple behind it, but as always i have to wonder, who cares, and why do they care? does anyone really think that the govt. has an interest in their personal emails?

yes, it does already have a thread. http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7682

how is that a problem? the requirements for all words are invented... im not trying to be an ass here, im really curious what you guys are getting at. of course the requirements for life are invented, its a word.
