If I were to die right now, would it really matter?
After all, the world has about 6 billion people and most of them are more important than I would ever be.
My father recently got his DNA tested in order to find out his ancestry. My family's records grow cold after my grandfather's grandfather and thus it was impossible for us to know where his line descended from.
My family immigrated from Cuba, so there was frantic speculation that either we were...
I would like to ask the members of the forum what they think of tariffs and subsidies on products.
Just quick definition to avoid confusion:
Tariff: is a duty imposed on goods when they are moved across a political boundary. From Wikipedia "Tariffs"
Subsidy: is a form of financial assistance...
So, as many of you are aware, a new year has started for universities around the globe. This year - due to my heavy interested in Astronomy - I decided to take one of the two introductory courses offered at my university. Most of the 75 people in the room seemed like rational individuals. That...
I don't think Inmendham has the knowledge to debunk even one of redsky's points; well apart from saying "your stupid because scientists said so".
Inmendham also ignores that the problem with creationists/ID proponents (that they are trying to insert their beliefs in the education system) stems...

I recommend that nobody contact Daniel Owens and tell him that he essentially earned himself a lawsuit. I'm not a lawyer but the best course...
I wanted to hear your opinion about building permits.

Artificial Intelligence will be available in the near future, no question about it. Research on Artificial Intelligence is already racing and the technology required to support it will be here in less than a decade.
So, where do we draw the line? Do we let robots have full intelligence...
Almost all of you are familiar with debating creationists and have found useful pieces of evidence and methods to counter each point posed by these brain washed idiots. Many of you have had pieces of evidence that you have lost and wished that you would have kept and shared with others to help...
I'm going to have to give this one to hume1947.

Well, if you have not heard, the Federal Government is proposing to increase their tax on soft drinks.
I think, as an ex soft-drink gulper, its a great idea. A substantial proportion of the populace has consistently shown its inability to control themselves when drinking soft-drinks, its time...

Never mind evidence that the economy is already in recovery. MARTIAL LAW IS COMING.
I went to the Emergency Room yesterday at my local hospital. After about 30 minutes of waiting in line, I was given a physical and then I was given a room to stay in. The ER staff promptly administered x-rays, bodily fluid analyzes, and an EKG. They also started an IV.
My aunt, who is a nurse...
