And you can dodge the central idea by hiding behind vocabulary and you'll still have made no useful point.

You are addressing a non-issue, you are having a debate about grammar with a man who is trying to make a statement.

You constantly do this and then call the other stupid for not agreeing with your irrelevant line of questioning.

Further, you are assigning him his opinion based on what point you'd like to make which is the same accusation I get hit with.

I am certain you don't want to be a hypocrite.

You're right, I'll just stick to all the "What's your favourite colour" threads you post in future.

Of course, posts such as "Fight, Fight, Fight!" and "What it comes down to, boys, is this: Do you want change, or are you just looking to fight" are making a statement, how foolish of me. Next time someone says a dog is a cat I'll just blindly agree with them.

Clouseau: Does your dog bite?
Hotel Clerk: No.
Clouseau: [bowing down to pet the dog] Nice doggie.
[Dog barks and bites Clouseau in the hand]
Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite!
Hotel Clerk: That is not my dog.

All you wanted was an arguement, krad.
It was pretty obvious, and not only to me.

All I said was it wasn't the smartest thing Gore has done.

Disagreeing about applying the term was beside the point.

But, hey....whatever. I harbor no ill will, and I even think you may have a legitimate point.

I agree that civil disobedience isn't always domestic terrorism, but you'll probably refuse to admit that it can be.

Because you only want to fight.

If you posted in the favorite color thread you'd go on about the semantics of qualia, Krad.

My point is that you attempt to look like an intellectual but you rarely address the actual issue in question. you then assert an invisible authority by resorting definitions of things and not the things themselves.

Ministrations of word-play isn't making a point, even for Derrida it isn't.

S'up with that?

It goes with anything.

Yeah, whatever. A dog is a cat. I give up on intelligent conversation on this board. The peanut gallery has won.

I didn't equate all civil disobediance with domestic terrorism or property damage. In the instance of the coal mines, blocking someones construction project that is legal and permitted is.

Can you explain what part of blocking a construction project is terrorism ?

Domestic terrorism.

the unlawful use of force or violence, committed by a group of two or more individuals, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

Blocking a project is the use of force, however inert. It's an action designed to intimidate and coerce.

ArkanGL, repeat after me: A dog is a cat, a dog is a cat.

Fiddling with your garbage: The Movie!

just painting roof and roads white would have a huge impact on global warming.

urban albedo.

but how much surface area does that really amount to? I would think only the potential to decrease cooling costs/energy expenditure would be of benefit, regardless of global warming/albedo effects.

If diminishing polar ice is contributing to global warming, how successful would "artificial ice" be? Maybe suspend a few million square miles of white fabric above the Arctic Ocean over a network of buoys.

Hey, it beats a giant space mirror.

g roseum is an interesting thing.

It causes this excitement on bio gas. I mean cellulosic ethanol from wood and farm waste has been a holy grail for years. I've seen a few companies claiming to have solved it, and it seems to be a breakthrough time for it, but finding the mechanism in nature is cool!


this paper seems to suggest it won't eat some of the local woodwaste I'm trying to deal with since it's being used to preserve them

2 big developments I saw last week.

The first was an amazing company in vancouver that has created a new generator for windmills.
It gets between 50 and 100% more electricity out of the same wind!


I mean acountry like Spain is now generating 20% of their power by wind.

This would make that 30%

another piece of reading that may be of interest

the austrian guy has a vortex that aerates and gets power from water...
