Or possibly the "effect" is chemical and non biological?

Who else would have tried to catch it?

Isn't that planet so close to it's star that it makes Venus look like a ski resort?

So the punishment for every crime is the same... torture forever! The entire system of heaven and hell is immoral and unjust.

Sadly in war as in life, it's the poor and disenfranchised that suffer, pawns as you say. The better fed they are the longer the people incharge can snort coke, eat caviar off the backs of strippers and eat wagyu off... well I'll let your imagination finish that and no i don't need to know where your imagination went with that. Sadly the pawns, read true believers, will protect their leaders and lay down their lives to make sure the dear leader has his stripper banquets. The first casualty of war is the truth.

Agreed Nor should you. Name a few, one at a time, a Gish Gallop will not be tolerated. The Bible is nothing but writing by men about their favorite gods, almost all so called "promises" were written about after the fact. It's not difficult to find "promises" that didn't come true, the city of Tyre comes to mind off the top of my head. If you want respect for your beliefs you should try digging up empirical evidence to support them instead of "feels".

Lazy is as lazy does. Lazy is in the eye of the asshole who thinks things should only be done one way.

No, it would be supernatural and I hold no belief in anything supernatural and I have seen no evidence to even support the possibility of the supernatural. My reason is that there is no empirical evidence of the Bible as anything but bronze age mythology. See #1

I'm in. One of the funniest films ever! The planet porno attacks the earth with the super sex beam!

Establish a usable infrastructure in space to mine asteroids and build space habitats.

"batteries not included" is a good film as is "Spaced Invaders"

The idea of helping to bring about Armageddon runs deep in much of the fundie christian community. They are very scary people IMHO.

So much the better, threat of strangulation would show Russia they need to be a part of the world community, cooperation instead of domination of the world. Speaking of Nukes... this is just weird, not sure what is going on. Is it a real movement, or just government backed crazies to try and scare the west?

This whole thing resolves down to do we allow Russia to continue its imperialistic designs or does the west decide to stand up to the not so subtle intentions of Russia to regain it's old imperial holdings? Russia is just as vulnerable to nukes as the west is, Russia has no more of a desire to see it's cities turned into radioactive rubble than the west does. The main difference is that west seems to think that allowing Russia to conquer the world it the only way to avoid the use of nukes. The first thing the west needs to do is take over the tiney holding of Russia left behind in Europe, if the people want to leave for russia so be it but allowing a hostile nation to have a foothold in the midst of Europe is intolerable. Russia must be expelled from Ukraine, Crimea included, if russia cannot act like a same nation then it must be isolated from the civilized nations of the world before our own maga chuds surrender our nations to Russia. NO I HAVEN'T HAD MY COFFEE YET!!! DAMN MACHINE IS BUSTED!

So you favor appeasement? WW2 europe would be proud. Appeasement started when the west allowed Putin to have Crimea.

Well... zebra's ass anyway!

While I was wrong about the missile attack my point about acting as though Russia must be given what they want "appeasement" was and is a bad strategy.

Evidently... I was wrong, this was an accident, Ukraine self defense missile went astray and landed on Polish soil... I jumped the gun.

Russia has denied having anything to do with it, not exactly a ringing endorsement of Russia's good intentions. I see it like this, Russia is being handled with kid gloves to the point of ham stringing the Ukraine's defence of its own territory. Ukraine is being told not to attack Russia on Russian soil yet Russia remains the aggressor on a small country on its border. Allowing a missile to land on Poland is meant to test the resolve of NATO. If this is not true then why does Russia deny any wrongdoing? If Russia really respected NATO they should be rushing in to apologize and try to make things right. Russia is being allowed to attack a sovereign state with no danger of being attacked in return. Russia has nukes so it can be allowed to do whatever it wants to smaller weaker countries. Reminds me of the appeasement tactics used in WW2 to try and calm Germany. If the tables were turned and Russia decided it wanted Alaska back and invaded Alaska would the US limit it's defense to only confronting Russia on US soil? Yes Russia has Nukes, so does NATO, a nuclear attack on anyone would put Russia in the same position as everyone else. Russia has no magical power to stop a nuclear attack so they are just as vulnerable as everyone else. Russia has the same need to avoid using nukes as NATO does, MAD was and is still a strong deterrent to using Nukes. The fact that Russia has nukes should not be reason to let them slowly snap up all territories that do not have Nukes. Ukraine should, at the very least, be attacking military targets in Russia. Any threatened use of nukes should be met with the reality of nukes being aimed at russia instead of this fear of Russian nukes! They are just as vulnerable as any other country and being able to use the treat of nukes to conquer countries with no nukes just leads to escalation as surely as the use of tactical nukes would.

Defrag this!

Unintentionally? Has Russia announced this? If the USA "accidentally" attacked north korea who would believe it?

Reports are coming out that Russian missiles have landed in Poland and killed at least two people. Is this enough to allow attacks on Russian soil? Should retaliation be swift or should we hump up and take this as Ukraine has done?

Hmmm maybe not expensive for you.

Yeah, someone posted on youtube the other day something about how many slaps does it take to cook a chicken.

I can provide evidence that Odin is real! He promised to get rid of all the ice giants... Seen any ice giants around? No? Then Odin at least fulfilled his promise.
