Here in Buffalo, as I said, we almost never get into negative numbers on the F scale. We would be in the negative numbers almost all winter in the C scale. The use of the decimal in the C scale is hardly useful. Who can feel a half of a degree of anything. Crappy Windors? I have seen Linux and was not impressed. It lacks drivers and software other than a word processor and a spreadsheet. Dos was better. The only thing it might be good for is internet surfing. The Dvorak keyboard was better, and is still available. I believe you can transform your keyboard into a Dvorak one through windows, and then just move the keys around.. The problem is I learned QWERTY first, so why learn it now. Agreements are made to be broken, especially to indians. Administrations change. If say Carter agreed to something, and that nut agreed to too much, too bad if it is just IGNORED.

To have a half a million dollar home, depending on property taxes, would be roughly three times income. 500/3=167 167/2=83.5 each. For an early twenty something, that is pretty good. Of course, there is how much was it bought for, not how much is it worth. Also, on sale, you never get 100%, etc, etc. Also, how much equity exists, morgage length and type.

Coast to Coast Art Bell interview with John Lear, son of inventor of Lear Jet. http://www.thelivingmoon.com/47john_lear/0...s/John_Lear.htm J - But whoever concocted 9/11, and it certainly wasn't Osama Bin Ladin, they had two objectives - one was to polarize American's opinion against Arab-Muslims and number two was to get the United States - trick the U.S. - essentially to get Osama out of Afghanistan because Osama - as bad as he was - he was shutting down all the heroin poppy fields and was causing a disastrous monetary loss to the illegal drug industry - and last year, which was a year after we went into Afghanistan, National Geographic did a special on TV, that ran for several months and documented the 500% increase in drugs flowing out of Afghanistan 'after' we went in there and eliminated Osama. A - laughs - They actually did. I recall that. I remember that report! Um - so you are sort of charging that we went in there after Osama - after Osama to rescue the drug trade? J - No! Well - that wasn't what 'we' thought - we were sort of tricked into doing that. We were tricked into thinking that Osama was responsible for 9/11, but to get a proper perspective on who 'did' the World Trade Center - uh - you have to understand what a magnificent feat of airmanship this was. It was 'disastrous' and was horrible for this country, but this was not accomplished by some guys who went to Florida and got some instructions on a Cessna or a Piper and this was not accomplished by somebody who had a right seat on a 727. A - What about simulators? Flight simulators? J - This had to be accomplished by pilots who got instruction - were taken to 'honest-to-God' Boeing 757 simulators which is - you know - the 757 and 767 the same cockpit essentially and you get the same rating and whoever concocted this whole thing knew that on a particular day that airplanes themselves could be switched because of maintenance problems and by selecting airlines that had that airplane, they had everything covered. A - Huh! So it actually took a fair amount of skill to plow into those buildings? J - I would say that it took about 200 or 300 hours for each pilot - and we're talking about . . . A - 200 or 300 hours? But you mean of simulator time? J - Of simulator time! They had to learn how to step into the cockpit - and that's a whole thing - getting into the airplane, but that's separate from that - they had to get into the cockpit and pull the circuit breaker for the transponder - sit in the pilot seat, disconnect the auto-pilot from the flight management system - turn the airplane, push the throttles all the way forward, find Manhattan - then line up on a pre-planned course - doing 10 miles a minute - they were clocked by air traffic control doing 600 miles an hour at 700 feet above the ground and fly directly into the middle the center of the World Trade Center. Now that - you know and the air races only fly 400 miles an hour and that's difficult - but to fly an airliner like the size of a 757 at 700 feet - I mean that took some skill and that took a long time to train that - probably a year. A - That's wild (unintelligible) J - In addition to that - hitting the Trade Center was a feat - but hitting the Pentagon was even more of a feat because when you are going that fast there is a tremendous amount of air creating this lift and as you head towards the ground, that air reacts against the wing and pushes you up, so whoever - whoever hit that - trained to hit the Pentagon at the 3rd story was highly trained because when he came towards the ground - there was a tremendous amount of lift and you would have to trim forward and push with an incredible amount of strength to not be pushed up and over the Pentagon to hit the 3rd story. A - But what about the plane that went down that didn't make it - that was probably headed towards the Whitehouse? J - uh - Well that was shot down by an F-16 out of a base south of New York and uh . . . A - How can you be so sure? J - Well because there were parts found 5 miles away - uh - because there were eye-witnesses to it being shot down - uh - there is corroborating evidence somebody who was listening to a cell phone conversation at the time this was going on who said they heard the rapid - like the ... described it as a pilot rapidly turning pages - well - that's not what was happening - that was the cannon fire hitting the fuselage and that's what accounted for - what they called the 'smoke ' in the air in the cabin - well that wasn't smoke - that was the depressurization causing the condensation. A - Well so you are saying definitely that you feel it was shot down . . . J - But you have to understand the governments position - #1 - they couldn't 'possibly' reveal this information because - you know - it was something they had to do - the problem was that once the passengers got control of the airplane there was no way to communicate with air traffic control or communicate with whoever was directing the attack for the airforce. A - Now you say Osama Bin Ladin wasn't responsible but there are video tapes showing Osama with his Lieutenant sort of laughing and joking - they didn't expect such a grand result and all that baloney - what about that? J - He might have been told at the last minute, but if that's all we've got, people say 'how come we haven't got him'? But the bottom line is, we don't want to get Osama - we'd have to put him on trial and other than that video tape, we don't have a 'shred' - not a 'shred' of evidence against him. A - Uh huh! Yet, it might be enough in a court of law! J - In a world court? A - You might be right! Well! Uh - I don't know - You've shocked me with some of your views. on the 9/11 business. No question about that! 100's of hours - Where would they get simulator training like that? - that many hours . . . J - Therein lies the problem. Because they 'certainly' couldn't waltz into any airline in the United States and get that kind of time - I mean most of the airlines in the US who have 757's use them 24 hours a day and they certainly aren't in the habit of renting - uh - to unauthorized people like somebody going in there saying 'Hey! give me 1500 hours of time" - Its just not going to happen. They would have to find another 757 elsewhere in the world and if you look around in the Middle-East and there's certainly none there because at least not in any Arab Country because they have airbusses - strictly airbusses - They would have to find 757's somewhere else. A - How many simulators are there? J - Well! There are lots of them - but uh - well - not lots of them - but there's certain around somewhere and they'd have to make a deal somewhere - obviously they got training because they couldn't do it without training . A - But what we've been given by the media - by the mass media - you know - they were down in Florida - getting a few hours on lighter aircraft - that doesn't wash at all . . . J - No possibility! If you talk to any pilot that knows anything about this and that was - and that was a feat with the (unintelligible) with the benefit with 19,000 hours in all the airplanes I've flown including air races - the Douglas B-26, I doubt that I could have done that the 1st time . . . A - Really! J - You are doing a mile every 6 seconds - so you had to learn where to line up, you know ... which reference points to get - you know - where to be at a particular time hit that building. It had to be planned for a long, long time. So this is a tremendous amount of skill, and it took a long time to do, particularly you know - they probably got somebody who didn't have thousands of hours - they probably had to train them from the ground up, and in this case it was relatively easy because they didn't have to learn how to take off and land - he didn't have to learn how do a single engine approach - he didn't have to learn to do a (unintelligible) or MBD approach, or anything like that ...

It would be a shame to say those fighting over there will have lost a war. For that reason it would have been better to find no WMD, and leave. They are tasked with nationbuilding, which is not war.

Huh? The country is way over extended, and the best way of stopping terrorism is at the borders. You can punish a country (Afghanistan), but do not occupy it.... And do not nationbuild. BTY here is an interesting site. Not Muslim based which questions the roll of Israel in 911. No Israelis were in the WTC. 80 nations, but none from Israel. Two were on the airplanes. One link is CNN's listing of casualties. It basicly is stating that the US is being used by the zionists (Israelis) as their muscle. http://www.apfn.org/apfn/WTC_STF.htm

You bet. The US inherited the title World Policeman. It did not seek it. Europe and Japan hardly have a military. They are skaters. They talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.

I was listening to coast to coast overnight. A fellow who claims he was born a horse in a human body was the guest. He calims there are many other humans who feel they have animal souls. He came out of the stall so to speak. There is even a name for the condition, tesbian(?) Also claimed is that souls are recycled many times. So who knows, maybe we might come back with a gay or animal soul.

The US has 300 million people. In the world maybe six billion. The world including Russia and China love to hurt the US, and are not afraid of it. The US needs to be more isolationist. Let these other big boys take care of the world's bad boys.

That is not the message. Just as in Viet Nam, we can not control a country half way around the world for eons, we can not control Iraq or Afghanistan for decades either. You can only push them into a direction hopefully they would want to go. The fall of VN did not mean the end of lifestyle in the west as was predicted (domino thoery) back then. The common problem in all these areas seems to be there is no way to disarm the populace because of (un)friendly neighbors.

Probably because he was so high placed in the government, and privy to high levels of secrets. He once said he saw a UFO, and maybe he did. It is quite possible that there was UFO recovery, and the reverse engineering is taking so much time for a purpose. What is not understandable is the possibility that many countries could be in on the secrets.

When I toured the Casa Loma in Toronto I was saddened by the tale of Sir Henry Pellatt who had done so much for Canada, yet died a pauper. His last years were spent in the house of his driver. He and two others developed the power project around Niagara Falls, but as in Venezuela, it was socialized without compensation to anyone according to a video shown at Casa Loma. He was a super Canadian patriot, and a very loyal subject to the English monarchy. It was just sad.

Come on now Pussylicker. You know that that Natalie is a fat slob. Don't say that you would lick her pussy. Don't do it.

I think 'MC Squared' was chosen because of your intense interest in math, and a perfect world. I would like to give you my take. First, I think the Fahrenheit scale does have an advantage over the Celcius for air temperature. Seldom does the air temperature get below zero in the F scale, so you do not usually have to go into negative numbers when the temperature is below freezing. Also, the scale is broader in scope so a degree in the F scale is almost like a half a degree in the C scale which I think is more informative. Second, the measurement used in the US hardly effects the rest of the world. Stuff imported here will will not be modified to our measurements like cars. A German car will have metric bolts. A country should have the right to be different. Canada loves its uniqueness, yet a Canadian blasts the US for not conforming. This thread Who Hates the USA is about a year old, and had faded away. It must have struck some cord with MC Squared to make his first two posts on it. BTW, I never knew Eskimo was a term equal to nigger. Eskimo, nigger, and Injun are banned words. Worse than swearing.

I always thought there was something the governments of the world were keeping quiet. It is the new conspiracy thoery revisited.

Here are some Jewish talking points from the ADL: http://www.adl.org/israel/advocacy/how_to_...ism.asp?xflag=1 Just so everyone is on the same page.

But you do do admit to being the father. Drumroll... He probably was not the father if he was not there.

Drumroll.... Anna had lupus. She probably died of natural causes.

I bought a citypass which was good for six sites. We did four in the city proper, and then went to the zoo. I was surprised how far the zoo was east of the city, and still in Toronto. My guess is that Toronto's land area is very large, much larger than these other cities. Another interesting thing is that only Denver is a state capitol, whereas Toronto is a provincial capitol with its capitol building and supporting buildings (remove them and apples to apples?). The CN Tower is very large and wonderful to visit, but it is not a building. I do not understand why it was built (tv tower?). Toronto has the stock exchange, and the U of Toronto. Boston has MIT, and Harvard, and BC. I think city ranking is tough. I think I would rank Toronto lower than it should, and you are ranking it higher than it should. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telev...by_media_market Click on Canada and it gives media rankings there. I can not find combined rankings.

Now I am curious, is Toronto a bigger player than Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, and Houston. I think it might depend on how you define player. Just as in football, you have to compare by position, in cities, you have to compare apples with apples. I saw one figure of Toronto with four million. That is second to NY with eight million, and ahead of Chicago and LA.

I agree. It is such a waste of good daylight not to sync the time when most people are awake with daylight. When people lived on farms, and there was no 11 PM news, that is what people did. The went to bed and awoke to the cycle of the sun. The problem is most people do not live on farms anymore. I would go for double daylight savings time in mid summer (four months), daylight savings (four months), and standard mid winter (four months). That would be too complicated though.

Contribute to a thread of speculation? No thanks. I just enjoy the cartoon characters silly remarks like 'flapping your lips'. What lips. Imagined lips? Virtual lips? Cyber lips?

The answer is "whatever he damn well pleases." Oh my, shudder with fear. #1 Left hand man (Robin?). What we have here is lefty cartoon characters. These guys R(Mighty Mouse), BD (Batman), and GH(Robin) are something out of the Marvel comic pages.

Some things are water resistant. You are insult resistant.

Now you know what BD thinks of the other male posters on this forum. Clearly, you are not familiar with the comedic stylings of the late Milton Berle. The question should not be am I familiar with Milton Berle, the question should be what is Milton Berle doing on a political forum.

I would rather talk about football than say something stupid like 2-1 odds about attacking Iran. You are an intellectual lightweight. The fact you think of yourself as a liberal makes your posts all the more fun. It is kind of like reading the comics.
