http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/11/19/iraq.kissinger/ Why doesn't Bush just admit the truth, too?

This is prompted by my familiarity with the severe and deteriorating situation in Mexico regarding the trade in illegal drugs. Over roughly 15 years, the gangs in the country have become richer and more violent. The violence has increased precipitously as rival gangs try to knock off others for...

i was reading through some stuff on the sumerians..... basically they describe a huge planet (Planet X) which travels on a massive eliptical rather than circular orbit of the sun....and so spends most of the time in the outer reaches of our solar system (or even outside it, they're not too...

This is a post from another thread which nobody picked up on so I'm posting it here. What all this boils down to is very simple, and it's not actually about materialism per se. It is about our natural tendency to believe that the objects we percieve are part of a self-existing world that is...

I know there's probably an obvious answer but for the life me...... damn, I'm cold. BTW - that's a skeptic about god, not other psuedo-science stuff.

I was just thinking about this. Let's say, for example, you take a particular animal and split the population into three groups and put each group in another part of the world. In one area the trees are high and after thousands of years they evolve longer necks. The second group is in shrub...

Is it possible that there just may be more to religion/theism than what we don't like about it? I am a theist--Triniterian and proud of it. Yet there are things I don't like about religion. (Matt 16:24) However, I believe there is more to my faith than what I don't like about it: woo...

Still aiming for Mid-February or a bit later, for all (2 of you) interested in coming over/up/through/around my neck of the woods (outside Albany NY, about a 20 minute drive). I'd like to do someting the 19th (is that a weekend? Is that Friday or Saturday?) I was thinking maybe shelling over...

...from the idiot running around with the microphones. Man that was a blast. Thank you all so much. It honestly was my "bullsh*t" Woodstock. Some funny moments: Me: So Penn, is it indeed tricky to rock a rhyme? Penn: It's tricky to rock a rhyme on time. I have a recording of Adam Savage...

From http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49686 RandFan maintains that it is possible to promote A without possessing A. This arose from discussion about possible heirs to JREF, and RandFan's assertion was that Claus maintains that it is not possible via Most...

(ed) Is Randomness Possible? Wouldn't it make sense to say that randomness is not evident -- if, due to the nature of cause-and-effect -- one thing clearly proceeds from another? Say the way one branch proceeds from another on a tree? There's clearly a connection there, right? So, how else does...

What if the universe and its matter and energy was contained in a finite space and that this space does not grow or shrink. For example a huge cube and in the middle of it is where the big bang originated from. If this were true wouldn't it be possible that in a finite space with finite energy...

Scientists have linked autism to "mirror" neuron problems. Enjoy. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/04/050411204511.htm

The link is to a story about a Congressman that sold his home for what appears to be an over inflated price to a defense contractor that then saw it's defense contracting business significantly increase. I'm surprised that the mainstream press hasn't picked up on this story yet...

I'm thinking about betting online; namely betting on the outcome of soccer matches. Indeed I will be making a £25 bet tonight with bet365 on Chelsea beating Arsenal. Now the question I want to ask is, is it possible to make a profit from the long term perspective? If it is not then I won't...

The whole thing with Ferdinand Marcos freaked me out from the start, particularly the part with George H. W. Bush and his idiotic remark back in the 80's about "We love your adherance to Democratic Principles." (Was he in a coma for the previous 20 years!?!?) Perhaps, now, there's a chance...

I have just come across this story: Filmmakers tout 3D Okay, if they want to make future films 3D then that's great and sounds like fun. But they are talking about a company that converts any 2D film into 3D. How would that be possible? Surely they wuld need the images from 2 viewpoints in...

Since the thread over on the paranormal forum got 'derailed' as some put it, I was told to come over here. Here I am. Anyway, someone who is a Christian (I am not) insisted one can be a Christian yet not accept the divinity of JC/God, or that God and JC are not one and the same. Seems to me...

This site has my BS alarm going off pretty loud, but I do not know enough of chemistry, properties of thin films, etc. to reject it. The testing which has been done by all the news outlets does little to convince me, but the Denver Police Department? Also, their money-back offer has some HUGE...

Quantum jumps between two discrete positions are here. Granted, it is still at a nanoscale, but who knows? ;)

Reason The capacity for logical, rational, and analytic thought; intelligence. Good judgment; sound sense. To talk or argue logically and persuasively. Perfect Lacking nothing essential to the whole; complete of its nature or kind. Being without defect or blemish. Completely suited for a...

Chapter 12 Thought Reading The Art Possible to All It is really curious and astonishing to observe the readiness some persons display in ridiculing anything and everything they fail to understand. Thought reading is one of these, and people who fail to understand it simply put it down as...

Are there things that it is impossible to be allergic to? Is it possible to be allergic to gold or helium since I believe that they are chemically inert?

Is it possible that Bush deliberately allowed the planes to strike the Trade-Center? Remember that golfer Payne Stewart? His plane didn't respond to ATC orders because the crew and passengers passed out. F-16's were on him in 21 minutes. Allegedly, not sure here, that orders were given...

1: With God all things are possible. 2: God would have to be with God. 3: Therefore God is possible. SEE! I put it in numbered steps! I proved it!

Alright, I'll keep my post and questions short, because I am stumped. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4723367/

Previous studies have suggested that during the last four ice ages, the Southern Ocean had large phytoplankton populations and received large amounts of iron-rich dust, which may have been blown out to sea from expanding desert areas. In order to simulate such ice-age conditions, the SOFeX...

after watching TV? I swear... I felt my IQ points slip away as I watched Paris Hilton on TV. I mean, I actually, felt like I was getting really stupid. And stupider.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3999498/ quoted from the article... The Daily Mirror reported on Monday that Hawking’s three children feared he might be the victim of someone suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a disease where sufferers harm others to draw attention to themselves.

I was fortunate enough to attend one of Mr. Randi's lectures recently, and he mentoned that dowsers taking the challange did not want him in the same room because of his "negative vibrations" or somesuch. He continued on to say that if they had known he was still in the building at all, they...
