When you start a thread do you make your point in the first post? Do you leave it for a while before you get to the point? Or do you try to avoid giving any kind of opinion or view for a few pages? How do you do it? :D

Here's the link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8659019.stm One thing that puzzles me, and I'd really appreciate an answer to this question from one of you clever physics/planetary science type guys: why was Earth's magnetic field weaker in the past than it is now?

The author of this post wishes to make it overwhelmingly clear that he in no way endorses the views expressed on the following website: http://obamaisliterallyhitler.tumblr.com/ I suggest you prepare some headache pills and a container for vomit,......the stupid is both nauseating and painful.

Kind of interesting: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/space/article7107207.ece Maybe he's been having a personal Star Trek retrospective....

Apologies if this should've gone in the Philosophy section, but I think the topic falls into both categories. More and more I'm coming across an attitude of partisanship, and an overly, and needlessly adversarial attitude towards political/social issues. Here is an article that touches on...

Charlie Brooker is close to being a genius IMO, he's definitely a very sharp man. Here's the latest episode of Newswipe on BBC iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qbyth/Newswipe_Series_2_Episode_2/ You might need to watch that more than once, CB's style is quite understated...

I haven't heard of this phenomenon before today, here's some wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_flow There is a documentary about it on BBC2 at 21:00 GMT tonight, it'll be on BBC iPlayer after that I should imagine. Can any of you physicists share your knowledge on this topic?

At what point did it start to become "cool" for white people to call each other brother? And why?

A tragic story, with an odd sting in the tail: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8515712.stm After reading that article I have to ask.....the live fire exercise was on CCTV, there were at least 50 police officers there, so how come the Crown Prosecution Service said: "The CPS announced last...

I find this sickening, but not surprising: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8515592.stm

I'll cut straight to the chase. Can lies be considered as expressions of opinion?

Let the bitchin' commence! :twisted:

If your reaction to the topic title is "WTF!" then I know exactly how you feel. I came across this bizarre theory whilst doing some research: http://www.civil-liberties.com/books/main.html I haven't waded throught the entirety of it so far, a lot of it relates to US law and statute that I'm...

Hopefully this thread will fill up with little gems of thought from members of the forum, and just about any type of quote on any topic is acceptable. But, to keep each other honest, and in an attempt to maintain a reasonable standard, there are a few simple rules. RULES: 1: You can only...
