BTW: People who believe certain things "Weapons of Mass Destruction" are usually the ones that are most likely to not question anything - like condoning and actively helping to kill millions of innocent people without solid proof. Do you really want to be one of those people? Healthy skepticism is a good thing, especially since most of the US media is a massive lying machine, arguably as bad as China.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/07/17/moon.landing.hoax/index.html According to a 1999 Gallup poll in the US, six percent of Americans believe that the moon landing was a hoax. 89% believe it happened, the rest are undecided. In Britain its closer to 26% hoax, Russia 29% hoax, Canada is about at Britain somewhere around 26%. About equal parts are undecided. Anywhere outside the US, you will likely find equal parts believers as non-believers and undecideds. It may take to 2019, but I think the US will finally hit double digits by then. The rest of the world has a healthy dose of reality and skepticism and quickly moving toward more hoaxers than believers.

Iran does not have the capability to do Plutonium period. If they are using centrifuges for refinement its Uranium for sure, any Plutonium is purely accidental. However, they do have the ability to do fusion induced fission. Heavy water is readily available everywhere, college science students can get the stuff. I'm actually somewhat suprised that North Korea did not try a 30% enhanced test (or maybe they did)

Thats exactly my point. There are supposedly real definiable limits on this thing. "As an example, a black hole of one solar mass has a temperature of only 60 nanokelvin; in fact, such a black hole would absorb far more cosmic microwave background radiation than it emits. A black hole of 4.5 × 1022 kg (about the mass of the Moon) would be in equilibrium at 2.7 kelvin, absorbing as much radiation as it emits." Ok fine. So the scientists say we will not even come close to 1/100th of that energy level/density. But what if - and noone can truely know for sure since this is supposed to be "expermental" science where even the scientist don't know for sure what will come of it. "Someone forgot to carry the 1" And does this just pave the way, for 50 years from now when someone builds a Hadron Collider V2.0, where they can achieve these levels, and then say the chances of blowing up the world accidentally move to 1.4% Is it still a worthwhile endeavor? "There's something very important I forgot to tell you. Don't cross the streams… It would be bad… Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light." Fictional quote Ghostbusters.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/large-hadron-collider/ Getting closer and closer to creating or destroying the "God" particle. Now has higher energy density than a fission/fusion nuclear bomb. My question is: Are these scientists absolutely sure that they aren't going to screw us all over? One was quoted as saying the chances of creating something that would start armageddon (uncontrollable black hole of significant mass) is something like 0.0014%. Still, playing any odds against complete armageddon seems risky to me. When they tested the fission/fusion bomb, it was expected to only be 6 Megatons - they got 15 Megatons because none of the "scientific experts" expected Deuterium-7 to actually be able to be fissionable (they expected only the Deuterium-6 to fission)

No need to worry, the Moon is safe. It will be quite some decades before we have the capacity to put someone on the moon. No the moon landing never happened. Look at it from the perspective of a CSI investigator: How can you land a multiton vehicle onto any surface using only blast jets to keep it from crashing into the planet with a force of 20G's or so, which should spew up a tremendous amount of space dust and create a visible blast crater. And yet still have a 180 pound person jump out of the landing vehicle, and still have enough loose space dirt to create a visible boot mark. Sherlock holmes would roll over in his grave.

The US doesn't need enrichment facilities, they already have reactors capable of creating more high energy nuclear material in one year than it would take a million years (no exaggeration) to create with an enrichment facility. An "Enrichment facility" especially based on centrifuges is completely utterly obsolete with your first nuclear reactor. Canada is just as much to blame as anyone else. Northern Saskatchewan sells almost 30% of the worlds raw uranium. We also sold the US Candu reactors which can be modified to create nuclear weapons (its actually a misnomer to say that only Candu reactors can be used to create nuclear weapons, as any nuclear energy facility can be used - its just easier with some designs) The US has *only* set off 1,021 nuclear weapons at the test site in Nevada (and 67 nukes in the Bikini islands back in the 1940's) Each at power levels up to 1000x the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (probably right near 1 million Hiroshima bomb equivalent) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo The first nuke to be created by the US that was 1000x stronger than the ones dropped in WWII.

Oh but she is. If Michelle said "no" to Harper its legally binding (subject to approval from the Queen) He would have had to have faced the "non-confidence" vote... Which is about as serious as it gets because if the vote was nonconfident - Harper would be jobless. And Canada would be without lawmaking capability for ever longer than a prorogued govt, of which we would fall back on the constitution - which is actually still mostly the British North America Act. By prorogueing parliament so that they cannot "vote you out in non-confidence" is IMO about as weaksauce as it gets. What Harper did - was run to the Queen so that they would not be able to democratically remove him from office. I'm actually surprised to ever see the GG use their official powers in my lifetime (in a non-world war III type situation anyhow). More often than not the GG is just viewed in a ceremonial light (but there is real power in that position)

Doesn't really matter if its acting or not. Head of State is head of state legally, it was never repealed as a law when Canada moved to the Canadian Constitution from the British North America Act sometime around 1982. The Governor General, no matter who it is - is the only one other than the Queen that has certain powers over the head of the Canadian government. For something as drastic as stopping parliament entirely, the GG is there exactly for such instances. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/12/04/harper-jean.html Parliament and the Prime minister can make certain requests, but ultimately the thumbs up or down comes from the GG (which can be overridden/overturned by the British Queen) Yes the Queen still owns my ass, she owns your ass, she owns all our asses (legally that is) And off topic: Yes Natives own Caledonia, just like the Tsuu Tina #145 own 1/4 of Calgary, it is written under British Monarchy under non-repealed BNA acts. If the Government want to write an amendment into the Constitution that they no longer have to adhere to the GG, then they can go ahead and try and write it in. They can also try to write in an act nullifying all native land rights (which some people seem to desperately want too) that were previously ironclad under British Treaty signed by the reigning monarchy. What I don't think people understand, is that is basically a declaration of war - a war of independance. Canada is *not* independant, no matter what your highschool social teacher told you.

If I could vote for her I would. Anyone who is willing to eat raw seal heart cut right from the animal - is a keeper. That she is a she, and black and was francophone is merely a bonus.

Its mainly because of the Urban and Rural laws of this country a century ago. Asians mostly Chinese were never allowed to own quarter sections of land in Canada, in fact they were barely allowed stay in the country. Most cities have "Chinatowns" because they were actually the original founders of the cities because they were not allowed to farm. White people tended to come back into the cities much later and built around the Chinese core, after they figured out that they could make more money in a symbiotic close realtionship with the cities than trying to scrape a living off land that has a killing frost in June (Alberta 2009) The streets (as in a city) are mostly ethnic - because thats the way it all was originally planned. In general "White" people never wanted to be in or anywhere near the cities (up until this century or so) Make up yours minds, lol. If a white incity owner wants to stop people like Asians - well I don't know what can actually be done about it. But hes definitely not going to be making as much money. At least that is my take. And As for the drive by shootings in Chinatown(s) I blame people like Rob Anders who believe all people who are not white or religious, are terrorists and deserving of at least jailtime. If Rob Anders were not our minister of War (veterans affairs) I truely believe he would be the one shooting down people in the streets (instead of hired lackeys) It seems he has had his role shifted from sucker punching Chinese people in the Streets to calling Black people in power as "terrorists" back to sucker punching Tsuu Tina #145 on the reserve to get them to move out. As my Chinese Grandfather would have said "We never had any real violence until we got encircled" and "Why the heck to all these (white) people all of a sudden want to be our friends?)

If you really really want the sad truth right from the Canadian Constitution Section 16.1 amended 1993 to include: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_16.1_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms "The English linguistic community and the French linguistic community in New Brunswick have equality of status and equal rights and privileges" Or inotherwords as of 1993 in NB, French people were no longer to be legally considered or treated as second class citizens. There have been similar provincial laws made in Quebec. But as of 2009, no asian spoken language (or even German, Russian, or anything other than French) has been made "equal" to English. Equal Right and Privelegdes of course includes right to freely associate in linguistic groups including schools. Now That law is presently only applicable to spoken language. If you have an Asian or black person that speaks perfect English you are not allowed to bar entry to a public establishment. However - you are allowed to stop (or at least detain until you can find an interpreter) a white person who does not speak English or French from a public establishment. Tazered polish guy at airport - prime example. The older Germans in Calgary really love this law, rofl. WWII hate is just a flowin.

Yup, The Governor General is the head of state in the Queens stead. Meaning that Michelle is our head of state when the Queen does not have her feet on Canadian soil. The Queen of course has the right to revoke Michelles title or move it to someone else at any instant however. The Prime minister? Well, sure he can be fired (if by "fired" you mean the ability to stop the lawmaking ability) The latest line of Prime ministers haven't really been doing much lawmaking anyways. Since parliament was prorogued - do we have to pay them for the time they were sitting on their asses doing nothing?

And they usually only quote iodine 131. The far more insidious radioactive cobalt is far more dangerous. I shudder to think how many parts per billion radioactive cobalt is in my system right now.. Probably right up there with all the aluminum from the canned pop I've drunk over a lifetime.

First visit yes. Its like every white guy gets Chicken balls on the first visit. The second visit he might get Peking duck. Its a long way to abalone on sliced seaweed If in five years you haven't made it to peking duck, its bad.

I'd like to know too, but its very hush hush. Up to 15 Megatons per nuke is about as scary as it gets (Hiroshima was only 20 kilotons) As much as I hate to use wiki as a source "In a report by the National Cancer Institute, released in 1997, it was determined that ninety atmospheric tests at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) deposited high levels of radioactive iodine-131 (5.5 exabecquerels) across a large portion of the contiguous United States, especially in the years 1952, 1953, 1955, and 1957—doses large enough, they determined, to produce 10,000 to 75,000 cases of thyroid cancer." Of course probably understated by at least a factor of 10x to reduce lawsuits. And of course the US was setting off nukes in Nevada all the way to 1992. And of course since that report, the US admitted to 10 more atmospheric nukes than reported in 1997. People here do still tend to think they were actually air raid sirens for actual air raids. Tell people anything and they will tend to believe you. Noone was violating the airspace with an airplane above us when the sirens went off. But without doubt - it was a violation of our airspace with nuclear fallout (which is a violation worse than an airplane flying overhead) In many ways China learned its media blackout and misdirection ability from the US, which is a master at media manipulation. What makes it worse for Alberta and Sask, is that the jet stream tends to run in a "omega" pattern, pushing up nuclear fallout much further north, and almost none south of the explosions. As a borne Calgarian, I would put up a thyroid extraction today if someone asked - I'd be very interested in knowing how close to a radioactive leper I am. Edit: Its rumored that the Calgary and Regina airports have security terminals that are tuned to much higher tolerances than other airports. It does make me wonder how much radioactive material is pumping through my veins if it sets off a detector in another country, but won't set off one in Calgary.

Well, I've always felt that we shouldn't be trading with the US after they tested 1,021 nuclear weapons in Nevada. 100 of which were atmospheric and have probably shortened the lives of millions of Canadians by several years. But then again, they did the same to their own citizens too. In Calgary there were several air raid/nuclear war sirens still active into the 1980's. Those sirens went off anytime there were significant nuclear (gamma emitting) particles detected in the air. That siren went off a heck of a lot more times than I really want to remember. The Canadian government does not screen for Radioactive iodine-131 in the thyriod gland. But I have no doubt than many in Southern Alberta and Sask were well over 3 rads during the very powerful 100 atmospheric nukes that the US tested. Nowadays - we know how bad nuclear fallout can be, and the area just east and north of Nevada is without doubt the most radioactively contaminated place on the planet (easily thousands of times more contaminated compared to Nagasaki and Hiroshima)

But Canada doesn't regularily invite the Chinese government to visit ever since Harper has been in office. If you read between the lines and look at the pictures of the visit, you will see Harper standing on the Great Wall of China... The significance of this is alarming. If the Harpers wanted to have a picture taken on the wall, then disregard the rest of this. If China suggested he go on the wall... Lets just say that the Wall was historically built to keep the barbarian hordes out, to have a leading member of another nation have their picture taken on the wall is a sign of a failing/failed relationship (Its sort of like giving a knife to a Chinese person as a "present", it means the relationship business or otherwise - is over.) Ignatieff seems to understand and recognize how badly neglected this relationship has been recently. If China still had a good view of Canada, they would probably have been invited into the Olympics or the Forbidden temples/city. Tenzin Gyatso? Jim Jones of Buddhism, enough said.
