Nintendo Wii - how to get it at close to MSRP?
sundevil777 replied to sundevil777's topic in The Bonfire
Well, they're not hanging out at the store like Cartman. Because they're boys and have money from their paper route burning a hole in their pocket. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am -

I want to prevent my kids from spending about $100 above the suggested retail price. I've tried many local and web retailers. The kids can't wait till the price and availability settle down. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Weight and force are dimensionally the same. Slugs most definitely ARE mass units. 1 slug = 15kg approximately. If you don't believe me, ask a physics professor.

Quite right! Didn't Bush during at least one speech mention such hatred in their classrooms/books? He should be bringing up that issue again and again. The Islamic world knows how bad they look to the infidels when this stuff is made public, they can't explain it away. We are in a religious war, no doubt about it. This time the Muslims are the crusaders. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I wonder what "class" it was where such materials were part of the curriculum. Aren't you assuming that it was an 'Islamic studies' class or something like that? I would hope they teach other subjects, so that the hatred was not part of their formal Islamic studies, perhaps just a part of social studies or world history or something like that. It is said that some of the schools teach nothing but their religion, so that may be in doubt.

Of course they can read and teach what they like. Of course they can and should be criticized for it. They are still a minority, but that doesn't prevent them from doing great harm on behalf of their cause. They have been "gobbing off" for a while now. I think textbooks such as this are a good example of the true intentions of the Muslim world, and it isn't a desire to live together in peace.

there's plenty of oil + natural resources to last us centuries
sundevil777 replied to skinnyflyer's topic in Speakers Corner
Quote >I'm not at all concerned about your hypothetical of a last battle of a > war using the last available oil in the world. That is a silly hypothetical, in > my opinion. 100 years ago, the idea of using atom bombs to end a war would have been a silly hypothetical, too. But less than 40 years later, those bombs killed 350,000 people. Quote That, is a really, crappy analogy. OK, our military will have enough foresight to have the ability to make oil from coal, sugarbeets, or whatever, so they can win the 'last battle' before the last drop of regular old fashioned from the ground kind of stuff. Either that, or we'll be sure to start a war in order to take control of the last bit of oil so that we can then later on win the last battle over that last bit of oil, because it will all be gone, none left to find, for the last battle, before the last bit of oil is gone... Even if tomorrow everyone left the Islamic world alone, as you would say, I assert that Islamofacism would not subside. I think your position is pretty much that of an isolationist, that relies on the Islamofacists to see the logic in that we have now started to leave them alone. Some may see promise in this strategy. I think not. They don't just seek a bit of land or freedom of religion, or just to be left alone. I think their demands aren't acceptable. I think recruitment for Al Qaeda was going to rise even if we hadn't invaded Iraq. I discount the importance and validity of the Iraq war as an Al Qaeda recruitment tool, and you discount the importance and validity of intelligence info (internal Al Qaeda communications) regarding how much they are being hurt in Iraq.

I'm not at all concerned about your hypothetical of a last battle of a war using the last available oil in the world. That is a silly hypothetical, in my opinion. OK, so we agree that Al Qaeda is to be destroyed. Do you assert that we've accomplished that? I think Bush was correct in warning the rest of the world that if you assist Al Qaeda, then you will suffer a similar fate. A lot of political leaders from both major parties in the US thought that the overthrow of Saddam by military force was appropriate, not just Bush. Of course OBL escaping was bad, but that is a separate issue. If he had not escaped, would your opinion change about the Iraq war?

The instructions don't say what to do if the ripcord is OK, such as apply clear heat shrink tubing or just leave it off. I would hope that black shrink tubing isn't used, because then it would need to be inspected again. I don't understand how a service bulletin could be issued that neglects to address this.

See, you're assuming. I think not. I did not assume they are free from subsidy. I don't know if oil from the oil sands is competitive. Do you have more info about subsidies to the process/companies?

sundevil777 replied to skinnyflyer's topic in Speakers Corner
I understand and agree with the point, I just think it is a much longer term problem than stated. I agree with the goal of weaning ourselves from oil, and I think that imposing an oil boycott against unfriendly nations would have the effect of raising the price, and helping to bring about alternatives.

You're assuming the cost of energy purchased by Suncor , Syncrude and Albian is the same as the cost of energy sold as oil. But eh, what do I know, I'm just a mining engineer. I'm not assuming that. If oil made from the sands in Canada is price competitive, then that is the bottom line, unless they are being subsidized to create the final product. Some will say that ethanol is an example of just this - it is only viable because it is subsidized.

Wrong. If oil is still being used in mass quantities, then being the last to have the last bit of it won't matter much, because it will all be gone very soon anyway. Your scenario is only worth considering if there was, and will be, nothing else to replace oil. Clicking of heels will not be involved, as the price goes up, other things will replace it, including oil made from coal or other things. That would work well if everyone in the world had good intentions. Ours is not such a world. So, would you agree we should leave Darfur alone, neither Clinton or any other country should have meddled in Kosovo? If you were in charge, Germany should have been left alone in the '30s? I hadn't heard of historians that say such a policy would have been helpful, just the opposite is true - we didn't intervene soon enough. Promising to leave Islamofacists alone is not likely to change their stated goal of destroying western society, killing or converting everyone that doesn't believe their way. The ability of them to destroy our economy does not depend on their ability to kill us, it is much more achievable than that. Changing policy to leave them alone will not change that.

While Bush sits on his ass and does nothing...
sundevil777 replied to dorbie's topic in Speakers Corner
Doesn't particularly bother me. Criminals get beat up in prison every day. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. This goes especially for law enforcement agents, pedophiles, and anyone else considered "at risk" in a prison environment. Blues, Dave I don't think a prison system that tolerates assault/rape/etc of inmates is right. It is tempting to consider it justice, but I think not.

You should appraise yourself of the real facts in the case, not just the spin, and how it was prosecuted based on what evidence and from whom before you contribute your bullshit to the destruction of two lives.

sundevil777 replied to skinnyflyer's topic in Speakers Corner
actually this is exactly the point we are at now. the point when we start depending on massive increases in the production of tar sands oil production, with a questionable return on energy invested, just to offset the decline in conventional oil production. I reject your assertion completely. Oil production from the sands/shale is happening because the price of the product is competitive given a high enough price of 'regular' oil. If it took as much energy to make it usable as it yields when used by the consumer, it would be that much more expensive, and not competitive with regular oil. Besides, there is a lot of oil that is off limits because of policy decisions, not wanting to affect certain areas. Those decisions can be changed.

The last post was interesting from the point of view of a professional logician because it contained a number of logical fallacies; that is, invalid propositional constructions and syllogistic forms, of the type so often committed by those trying to deceive. 'All members of this wacko group are Republicans,' states Sir Quade. 'Therefore,' he concludes, 'all Republicans are members of this wacko group.' This is, of course, pure bullshit.
