I debate politics on 2 other boards but I HATE the political section on this one. The lack of moderation and the flame wars are just too much. No one can have a decent debate there without getting drowned out by the hardcore ideologues and trolls.

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any...

He also continues to have trouble with your/ you're and there, their, they're

Not only that but he is conflating science with technology. Science is the pursuit of finding answers in nature. What we end up doing with those answers is always up to the individuals. I am currently reading The Moral Landscape by Harris and he makes some very compelling arguments as to how...

Actually, if these things work, they would be introducing new physics. You can't violate the laws of physics but new ideas of how to harness known quantities such as zero point energy is within the realm of possibility. The only problem I have seen is that there have been many devices that...

I'm starting to wonder if we're the ones that are insane. Trying to teach a delusional person to use logic and critical thought is itself kind of crazy This guy admits he's delusional, he thinks he's christ, yet cannot understand why people just don't take his experiences at his word. Of course...

Right, don't attach too much credit to science, I mean what has science ever done for us. :wall: The speed of light is not an approximation, it has been measured and to the best of our knowledge, it does appear to be a constant. If you claim otherwise, you need to provide the...

That's a very narrow-minded value judgement IMO, and in many cases very wrong. It is sad that people think this way, that their 'position in the world' is so lowly yet repeatedly demonstrates that they are an industry in extremely high demand all over the world. IMO, your attitude is the result...

How would you know who is a 'real' lesbian om the world of pr0n?

You started shit by calling out pad by name when it is clear he did nothing to your posts. AFTER he calmly pointed it out, you continued to rant about deleted posts, which makes you a liar or one that has the inability to read. He did not call you a liar, he asked a question about which one of...

Oh ye of little imagination... Doesn't anyone read the classics anymore? HG Wells' The Time Machine explores a possible future where humans are no longer engaged in science and technology.

We are all time travellers. We are constantly travelling into the future, no need for a black hole. :) The only difference is the speed in which we travel. According to special relativity, any motion through spacial dimensions will result in a slowing of our personal clocks. This happens...

Is that douche still responding to my posts?

So... "I don't know what I saw and can't explain it, therefore I will create an explanation, I will assume the most radical, unsupportable idea because mundane, natural explanations don't seem as cool." MUFON reports that 85% of all UFO sightings can be explained by either a man-made or...

I don't think Tyler was making a claim about what is occurring, he was asking a hypothetical about your own reaction. I suspected you were going to respond exactly as you just did. You took his hypothetical situation and acted as if he was questioning you if it was possible. That's not what he...
