2  Political Discussions / United States / Re: History Channel, "Anthrax Attack was an INSIDE JOB" on: May 31, 2008, 09:17:29 PM
Our controls on anthrax are less secure than our controls on plutonium, and people steal our plutonium. (Where do you think the Israelis got the info and materials for their nukes?)

Nothing is unstealable. Any lock can be picked, any security can be overcome.

The only safety is the grace.

No, that is NOT true. 

Weaponized AIMES STRAIN ANTHRAX is, by far, more secure than nuclear INFORMATION, and probably more secure than plutonium materials.  Having plutonium and the info needed to enrich it, is not enough to kill anyone, nor is it that difficult to obtain anywhere in the world given enough money and access.  Notice you mention ISRAELI spy's.  It's the Israeli's or the Chineese we always catch spying and stealing info and materials.  Massive money, massive influence, and intelligence level access to materials and information resulted in thefts of government secrets and materials but they then don't turn around and attack us and our politicians with the info and materials.  They take it back to their country and use it to develop their own weapons. 

But AIMES STRAIN WEAPONIZED ANTHRAX will kill you dead right on the spot.  Now, even if it was stolen, why don't we know about it?  Why haven't we been informed that this strain of anthrax had been comprmised?  Why did the Bush Administration go on Anthrax two weeks prior to the attack?  If it was spy's that did it, which countries hold enough influence and access to get a hold of this stuff?  And why aren't we investigating them?

Yes, every lock can be picked, but the idea of, "some guy," breaking into a Anthrax weapons lab and stealing this stuff, then using it to attack politicians and journalists here in the US, isn't plausible.  It is certainly possible that foreign governments and their spy's could access this, given enough money, infuence and access to this stuff.  If it was Israeli or Chinese spy's, well, that's certainly more plausible, but the idea that they used it against two US politicians and a US journalists and NOT just stealing it back to their country for their own development, is where this scenario breaks apart.  If spy's did it, they wouldn't attack us with it, they would study it.

So, "some guy," who would use it to attack people he wants to murder can't do it because he doesn't have the money, influence, or the access to the material to do it.

And, while a foreign countries spy's might have the money, influence, and access to the materials, they wouldn't use it to kill people, they would use it to further the development of their own weaponized anthrax.

So, that leaves the people who have access to it becasue the are allowed access to it.  The defnse establishment.  Therefore, INSIDE JOB.

Saying "therefore" doesn't make you logical.

Same as talking quietly and then YELLING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS TO ACCENTUATE A NOUN doesn't make you comprehensible...

I know for a fact the people who talk on the cellphone while driving have lower-quality genetic material to begin with.

When I first read the title of this thread, I thought "Wigs is having a child?"

Then I realized that, not only was I on the internets, I was on IAP.

Good night, sweet prince.

Got a free bottle of scotch from a dude on another forum I'm on. Some people are actually nice.

Score.
Yes, there are people like this out there.

So far I've donated $300 to some kid in North Dakota to help pay for him to go to a high technology conference in San Francisco.  I also bought a year's subscription to the Economist ($180) for a guy in Kentucky.  I also donated $300 to a wonderful lady who lived near New Orleans and lost her house with Katrina.  I also donated 'gold memberships' ($36 each) to about a half-dozen people at a forum so they could access a bunch of features they wanted but couldn't afford.

All of these people are people I know only through forums.  I'm a member of about a dozen political or philosophy discussion forums.

These people are all friends - none of them asked for my help - I just offered it because I can.


Wow,
I hope you will donate something to me without me having to ask for. Will you? Cheesy

My bank accunt is 523511....

Just give me your social security number and I'll wire the money right over!

As for weed, there is one major difference between it and alcohol/ciggerettes. Weed is not physically addictive. If used sparingly, no major problems occur, and in fact, the benefits are discovered... much like red wine.

What is red wine?

I think you might be referring to scotch, bourbon or whiskey....but..... If used sparingly....say two fingers of a 12yr old scotch on the rocks after work should cause no major problems occur.....

I'm reporting this to the mods. Scotch on the rocks? Heresy!!
12  Social Discussions / Science and Technology / Re: Social effects if Aliens were confirmed? on: April 25, 2008, 04:22:41 PM
wasn't there a twilight zone episode about this?  aliens had invaded a town, and caused a power outage and people grew fearful of the unknown, which led them to turn on each other.  the aliens were able to destroy the town without actually attacking anyone.  I guess the moral was that we're just so brutish by nature, that in times of peril, we'll just kill ourselves or each other because of prejudices ... or something along those lines.

The episode was titled, "The monsters on maple street"  (one of the best episodes!)

Damn straight. Like many people, I believe that the Twilight Zone is the foremost resource on human nature.

I'm going to have a wonderful time at a party, maybe hang out with my girlfriend, then visit the real Easter bunny and perhaps go unicorn riding or just sit at home and square a few circles.
15  Social Discussions / Philosophy and Religion / Re: Guided Evolution? on: March 09, 2008, 07:58:18 AM
I believe evolution to be wrong, if there is evolution then why to we not see the transgression.  Now some people say it is slow and happens over thousands of years so we do not see it.  My argument is we should still see the morphing progress, I mean we should see different species in different stages for eg. going to gorilla to man.  We do not stay one species for thousand of years and then just leap into a completely different species.  People who support the pro-evolution also state how similar or genetic make up is to that of primate, and the house cats to the likes of a tiger.  Well all I can say to that is it is just similar, it does not mean one evolved from one to the other.   I just want to ask those who are pro-evolution why are there no species walking around in a sort of in between stage.  Or does a pregnant gorilla just pop out a human child at some stage.

I urge you to educate yourself on the mechanisms of evolution by natural selection before presenting an opinion on the topic - no one will take you seriously otherwise.
