@granddad2002 Just a correction: H.G.Wells died in 1946 not '48.

One thing that Stewart B. doesn't mention about climate change is that the U.S. China and India are still refusing to make any commitment to reducing their production of CO2. That the world's richest country still does nothing is an outrage. China and India have the excuse that they're developin...

@gamble180 Get real. There are already far too many people in the world. 7 billion and this number risks stabilizing at from 10 to 12 billion by 2050 when the planet's biodiversity is already under huge pressure. I'd prefer people to have fewer kids through education and access to contraception b...

What stupid nonsense! Dr Dawkins has debated dozens of religious believers, of all persuasions; he is not obliged to take on any dingbat fanatic, like this Craig person, who demands to debate with him. God knows (just an expression) he's done more than most to combat the idiocies of fundamentalis...

@Fantasticlist One can't PROVE that fairies or any other nonsense doesn't exist.That's not the point. By 'faiths' I mean religions: islam, christianity etc there are many of them, so one belief, being man-made, is no better than another. Compare this with scientific truth:we all agree that the e...

@histdorkbastilleday Thank you for your kind comment. But , you know, I think anyone interested in history who has studied this period would agree that these two men, though very different in character and political ideology, were both monsters, responsible for more deaths than anyone else in His...

@fxnooodle Well, I don't know if you're right about that. What it symbolizes to me is purely negative: women's second class status being one, and a refusal to fully integrate into Western society. If people immigrate into Western countries they should willingly adopt its culture and not cut the...

Why do they have this brainless bimbo interviewing Ferguson? Can't we have a serious economist asking the questions?

@schedulingothers About Germany; funny isn't it that a country of 80 million is barely capable (let alone willing, remember Libya?) of sending even a couple of thousand troops to Afghanistan and that their military chiefs refused to send these peacekeeping troops to provinces which they judged '...

@StrahOfTheSundjer Whoa there! I'm not speaking about the deplorably weak and gutless British policy of appeasement prior to 1939 and the final Franco-British declaration of war on Germany. What might have happened had the Brits and the French refused any compromise over Czechoslovakia in 1938 n...

@omsivoham All US intervention in SE Asia during the cold war was a brave but failed attempt to prevent communist, i.e. totalitarian takeover of countries in the region. You talk of bombing against vietcong guerrila bases there. Well, however many were killed it was NOTHING compared to the 2 to 3...

Pity that this guy feels it necessary to dumb down to the extent he does. All of us who watch this kind of documentary know perfectly well what a light year is and what it means. Interesting, nevertheless.

@thechessstick It has everything to do with evolution because scientific discoveries in every domain support and give EVIDENCE for evolution. Newton lived 300 years ago so he believed in god. He wasn't a 'creationist' because that's a modern phenomenon. Creationists are childlike types who read ...

@crazygnome67 I think they're illegal because legislators, who have never taken them and don't understand their effects, are frightened of them and what they fear will happen to the nation's youth if they are decriminalized. I think Dr Leary's idea from the 1960's: to licence their use to serious...

@ImaginedWriter The attraction of gold? Well, it's rare, most people love its colour so it's appreciated in jewellery, and above all it's incorruptible - it never tarnishes (unlike, say, silver). Platinum is valuable for the same reasons, although platinum has more uses in chemistry, i.e. as a ca...

@dlhertz 1973 is the date of the interview.

@batfly (5 months ago) you asked what other psychedelics are out there apart from DMT Salvia, etc well, rather than give you a long list I'd recommend - like someone else who's posted a message here - that you get hold of the brilliant books by Alexander Shulgin, the chemist, Pihkal and Tihkal (...

@phisquik Re your question about what the French say: I think it's the expression "La douceur de vie" or "La douceur de vivre", which means the sweetness of life or living...
