Besically newtons law says that energy is never really lost or created, it may be transformed but never lost or created. So by Newtons law, there is as much energy now as there ever was, no more no less.
Tell that Einstein, or more importantly, to a photon that is more than 1.2MeV colliding into a helium nucleus.Quote:

I'm so tired of this bullshit, it's gotten to the point where these people think they can just swing the word "Haliburton" like a cudgel to ward off any facts that might come their way. The good of the country is more important than your personal political alliegance so give the propaganda a rest. Everyone has ties to other people and groups, and you can devise damning conspiracy theories about any event in anyone's life if you try hard enough. Life happens, the most simple explanation is usually the correct one.
All this hysteria over the Patriot Act is really retarded. I don't see how anyone that actually knows what the Patriot Act is could be so afraid of it. The power that it gives the government is nothing new, the government has had that power in dealing with lesser criminal activity for many years. Racial profiling got your panties in a bundle? How about gender profiling? Height and weight profiling? Hair color profiling? Should we just avoid criminal profiling in general so as not to offend anyone? Since when is good detective work immoral or wrong? The bottom line is this: 50 years ago our country had glaring civil rights problems. There was a noble cause to champion, and those that took it up felt a fulfilling sense of purpose. In 2004, the pendulum has swung the other way, yet still some people so thrive off that sense of purpose that they try to invent wrongs to right. It might be vanilla, it might not make a good Oliver Stone movie, but try blaming the terrorists for the terrorism.
Mike: Did you hear Dick Cheney's response to some reporter asking him if he was going to appologize for "dropping the F-bomb"? It was magnificent.
Cheney: "Of course I'm not going to appologize, I never appologize when I use that word. It felt really good to say it too. My integrity was questioned and I wasn't happy about that".
When you see an asshole say "Fuck you all day long" and if someone asks you to appologize for it, fuck them too.
If by "pre-existing giant world blowing up", you mean "space-time expanding out from an infinitely dense/small point", you're 100% right.Quote:

Prove it. You can't. Does that mean you don't love her? No, it means love is one of those special things that eludes microscopes and labcoats. Is that such a bad thing?

Yes. Forget my previous post. I was lost at what exactly you were trying to say. When I say energy isn't created or lost, I mean like if you create a proton, you must also create an anti-proton of some form as antimatter or from a neutrn to a proton and electron.Quote:

Now everyone with a dead gun runner in their avatars try again to explain what the war in Iraq has to do with the war on terror without sounding like an idiot. Of all the games we play here, that one's my absolute favoritest.
