"I would love to see proof that 11 bodies can be packed into 1 m2 like you claim" Try looking up the world record for number of people in a mini cooper and for in a telephone box. You will see from both of these a figure of 7 (live) bodies per cubic metre is not just feasible, b...

Damn, this guy has a stunning memory. If I had been to see Titanic without knowing the story my review would have been "It's about these two people called something or another. She gets her kit off whilst he draws her. They do it in the back of an old car; then the boat sinks and he dies, but she...

According to Wikipedia the album was released in early 1978, months before the Winter of Discontent. You could argue that the signs were all there. I was a child in that period and the album captures well the political climate of the time.

The more I consider it, the more I see some value in Pascal's gamble, but not as he stated it. Either life is meaningless, random and pointless. Or life has some purpose. We cannot know for definite which it is. (Face it unless there is some divine purpose then all life on earth could end at any ...

@Ahreta I don't know about 'objectively speaking', but personally I agree with you. On so many levels this scene is stunning. So simple and yet so scary.

Either 1) Error or 2) Delusion or 3) Deceit

OR

3) My analysis of Dawkins is wrong.

And here's the main reason for 4.

Dawkin's 'Target Phrase' does not look forward. It does not start from now and work forward. It is backwards looking. GIVEN that X exists NOW, what steps might have led up to ...

@rustedromeo That you for clarifying that. It was the comment "You are having someone lese outside of the marriage impregnate your spouse" that could be seen as implying that you see AI as being the moral equivalent of adultery. It sounds as if you are not saying this.

On the basis of what you ha...

In this clip 60% get a colour the quite like. The alternative would be one person getting the colour they really want, whilst 80% would have to live with a colour they hate. And someone this is being posted against AV. There is a BNP councillor with less than 28% of the vote. Would that have been...

BNP councillor elected with less than 28% of the vote. This is not hypothetical. This is not something that 'could happen' under AV, it actually happened under the current system. Think about that. A candidate whose views are strongly opposed by the majority of the voters is elected by just over ...

This is really funny. Thank you for sharing it.

@jfmolyneux You've got to love language. Both an atheist and a Christian could agree with the statement "god is the last thing that Chris Wood needs."

I don't know who it was but a politician was once attacked for changing his mind. His reply was something like "When the data proves that I was wrong I change my mind. What do you do?" Neil Anderson says "Never be defensive. When you're right you don't need a defence and when you are wrong you ha...

From a friend in the UK, you are the kind of person who enables me to say "God bless America" with some hope that he might. Cheers mate.

@bigvi You analysis of the analogy is flawed. He is not asking us to imagine that China invaded the US as those two countries are now. but to imagine if China had been a developed country 100-150 years ago and had colonised the USA at that point in history. He asks us to imagine the results of th...

@JesseBoom700 Although I am still not 100% convinced of its genuineness I have to admit I found a video that looks a lot like this blast from a different angle, and so on balance I've decided that although the wave may not be quite a big as this gives the impression it is, this video is uneditted...

@hungariankid It depends on what you mean by 'means'. The literal translation of 'tsunami' is 'harbour wave', the 'tsu' meaning 'harbour' and the 'nami', meaning 'wave'. As words rarely translate directly from one language to another in this literal way you are right that the English phrase 'tid...

I don't get it. How can Zombies afford the tuition fees?

@Dyrlingur Once you have your conclusion it is easy to make the evidence fit and to rule out alternative theories. Keeping an open mind is very hard. I'm not saying there isn't a conspiracy, only that this is very weak evidence of it.

@baadshepherd

I wasn't even replying to you. I was simply trying to respond to the question of why a wind created wave in open oceans may be 10m+ in height, but I tsunami is usually undetectable by surface ships in the open ocean. The fact you think that I was trying to prove you wrong is probab...

@blackonyx17 Cheers. Glad I could cheer you up ;-)

@DopeDethrone Does having bitterness, hatred and darkness inside you mean you are a bad person? We live in a world of darkness, with many things to hate and get bitter about. You may be right, he may be a delusional sociopath, I've never met him or know anyone whose lived with him long enough to ...
