You've got my number: - dupe - liar - unscientific - illogical I assume this applies to the structural scientists and engineers I work with. No wonder they missed the truth. I think that must point to another conspiracy within the major universities to create this large pool of incompetent dupes. Do...

Hello, hello I think this thread is about Gore's statements that have nothing to do with 9/11. I think that I have said several times, since you brought it up, that I wasn't interested in pursuing the 9/11 issue again. You ignored me in that thread on several details that I am sure of. For example, ...

Iavas , As I have already said, I have no interest in recreating the nonsense of the other thread, and I prefer to avoid a downward spiral of this one. To somewhat echo 10FT , the discussion of 9/11 is as useful as discussing the problems of Intelligent Design with a fundamentalist Christian. Once ...

Wilma,

Hi. I think you would appreciate "seeing" Franco.

Amrunelen,

They did retain some romance. It is interesting that they allowed Isolde to have feelings for both Tristan and Mark, although her heart definitely belongs to Tristan.

Thank yoo Anthy. I've missed you. I was hoping I could draw you out, 10FT. Iavas, I worked in a physical chemistry research lab for 6 years. One of my projects for the last few years concerns maintenance (which really includes construction and demolition) management of everything used by the militar...

Eleanor was born in 1127. Henry was born in 1133. This is a very interesting family and Lion in Winter is also one of my favorite films. Clever writing and amazingly accurate historically. An interesting point is that the film takes place in Chinon in France, not England. Eleanor was the only one sp...

Iavas, My personal experience goes a little bit beyond Googling. I know about some of your conspiracies first hand. I am not ignorant of what really goes on within our government. I know a lot about Nixon's abuses. That was the period I was close to a lot of related activity. I've mentioned Kissinge...

I saw Tristan and Isolde last weekend. I am difficult to please when it comes to stories related to the Arthurian legends, since I study them. Forgetting the original story, the movie was OK. The acting was decent and the actors used conveyed the correct image and persona of the characters. I was di...

Hi Ara-anna :kiss: I can see it didn't take long for the administration follow up on my statement that the use of the Patriot Act would expand into other areas. This afternoon's news includes the indictment of members of 2 "domestic terrorist cells" for eco and animal rights related activi...

Gore’s statement is interesting and the parts of it not related to Bush’s activity comprise a good civics lesson. However, Gore seems incapable of fairly assessing anything related to Bush and seems to leave out a few interesting points about the Clinton/Gore use of intelligence to rew...

I've arrived a few days late and am at the end of mine with a few glasses of bubbly, so I can only contribute a little. Thanks Jnyusa for starting this and I hope the discussion continues until I can have some time to properly participate. All of you have made great contributions. I first read LOTR ...

Thanks to Alatar for reminding me where I should be, and to everyone else for being so kind. I should be around more after Nov 1.

Tolkien Aragorn and Elrond didn't get along that well, but… You can see the progenitor of Eowyn as a female warrior falling in love with the hero she loses. Arthurian The Red Branch Knights (RBK) are similar in some ways to the Knights of the Round Table (KORT). The KORT seem to inherit from ...

There seem to be several issues interleaved here. 1. Fixer's explanation of IP addresses is correct, assuming it pertains to a given instant. I think the explanation ended up in another thread. 2. I know about a dozen people who lost their jobs because of personal use of the internet at the office, ...

Which gets us back to my original point. Who owns the posts? It could be my faulty memory, but I don't recall anyone agreeing with me. So we have a case of adverse possession? The poster wants the posts deleted, but we want to restore them, which we can do because we have them, although not by the a...

But you didn't have the internet back then, which provides a very powerful tool in sharing and analysing information. It does allow us to...

We agree.

I guess I post just to disagree. :D Allowing people to stay is incredibly irresponsible. Thousands of people have died already because "mandatory" seems to have a different meaning to some people. We've been listening to all of the grief this caused for over a week and people wondering why...
