force

“force till right is ready” Once a month I make the drive to a college library to which I have a ‘Friends of the Library’ card that allows me to borrow any book in that library. For a yearly fee of $25 I have access to a world of books. Once a month I take back 6-8 books and borrow another...

This may be one of those questions that has no answer, because it's worded wrong. But it occurred to me... I understand the concept of probability, from a basic layman's perspective at least. You flip a coin randomly enough times, the occurrence of heads and tails will gradually trend toward...

Can someone explain this to me? Does this mean if Hezbollah shoots 10 rockets into Israel, that the soldiers should only fire 10 back? How do you balance force? And should you if you are at war? Look, if I kept taking a crap in Chuck Norris' front lawn, even after he reported me to the police...

I'm having a very fun debate with a believer friend of mine who has gotten hung up on one of the arguments brought up. I stated the Astrology and Horoscopes provide a negative effect on the world by the poor bastards who follow the tripe. He stated that the effect by those beliefs is so...

Spawned by the events in France. If the police are unable to protect your property - your home, your car, your business - is it ethically justifiable to use deadly force to protect that property from someone who is trying to destroy it? I'm interested in seeing what the breakdown is by...

Earlier I made a long post about the universe being in a sphere or a cube. Basically a contained area that would allow everything to gather again and create a big bang. I was thinking about it some more. With gravity always being a constant force wouldn't it be inevitable for everything to stop...

Scientism Fundamentalist Authoritarianism? LOL! :D

....instead of trembling legs. According to this article the US Air Force ruled that US Servicemembers can now go into London, rescinding a rule that banned them from going to London. This did not set well with some British folks and papers: Actually, despite poking some fun at the USAF, I...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Air Force Academy failed to accommodate the diverse religious needs of cadets and staff, although there has been no overt discrimination, a military investigative panel concluded Wednesday. The Air Force investigation, released by the Pentagon, required academy...

As if this "religious persecution" BS wasn't bad enough, I've recently learned that.... 1. They think "taking one for the team" is a thing, always (which goes against what I've been taught in my long military career). And apparently talking about someone as a "team player" has no weight - no...

"I believe the US is the greatest force for freedom that the world has ever seen" Discuss

The children's death was a terrible tragedy, but can we fault the woman for trying to defend the puppy? I mean, c'mon! Puppies are so cute!!!

Iran Says American Spy Planes Seen Over Nuclear Sites How do they know, if their radar didn't register anything? Can you say "stealth bombers?" If Iran's anti-aircraft units can shoot down satellites and comets, they are a far more formidable threat than any of us had heretofore realized.

OK, aside from the eye-catching headline I'm not sure I *actually* believe in the simplistic theosophical notions of opposing moral polarities, to wit: good and evil. Nevertheless, I'm interested in whether posters to this board consider Christianity to be a positive, peaceful influence on the...

Libertarians believe strongly in market forces. From this is derived a belief that a government agency like the FDA is unnecessary because if somebody makes a bad drug, people won’t buy it. And the industry would self-regulate by creating something akin to Underwriters’ Laboratories whose...

Rising sea levels force millions of Bangladeshis into India, fuelling ethnic and religious tensions that end in bloody riots. In Africa, crops wither in the parched landscape of a once-lush nation, bringing strife to the countryside and leading citydwellers to clash with the army as they loot...

If the resources are available, should people diagnosed with or suspected of having mental illness be forcibly committed by family members? What about the state? If not, why not? If yes, under what circumstances and for what purpose? By what principles are you deciding?

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/01/1080544627082.html Mercenaries are a sign of the times, I think. When you can't get people to do your fighting because you have the backing to do it, and you have to resort to paying people to do it for you, you are one more step removed from...

This is a really dumb question, but it came up in the lab I teach today and I couldn't think of the answer. If you let a ball drop from some height above the surface of the Earth, it's deflected easterly if you're in the Northern hemisphere, right? And if you throw a ball up in the air and let...

I am a complete novice when it comes to any kind of topic relating to Physical Science- however, recently I came across an idea I couldn't seem to fully grasp. Perhaps some people on this message board can help me out. I have often heard the statement "black holes are so powerful, in fact...

I don't think this is proof of "Life Force"! Funny as hell to look at though. ;) http://www.orgonelab.org/cgi-bin/shop.pl/page=ylemeter.htm

I bought one of THESE! I know it works because Hey, if anybody wants to borrow mine, could you help me with the $299 I spent on it? :)
