  4. Pentagon paid PR firm $540mn to make fake terrorist videos

    Calling people scum is offensive and a sin against the brotherhood of man (including women and LBTQT etc.) which we are all part. America should reach out to those less fortunate than themselves with love and kindness. After all the believe in God and Jesus don't they???

    Is that what everyone in Istanbul thinks?
  6. Where do you stand politically

    I agree fruit control is essential. ... but so is dog balancing ...
  7. Pentagon paid PR firm $540mn to make fake terrorist videos

    Are you some kind of liberal?
  8. Where do you stand politically

    So Brian .... when did it all start to go right?
  9. Where do you stand politically

    Bull's eye!
  10. Where do you stand politically

    So I'm guessing you did the test and you came up a commie. Am I right?
  11. Where do you stand politically

    I notice a lot of squirming here from Karl - did you actually do the test? or did you just complain about it. I did it and also got Left/Libertarian - which given the two axes is about right - given I dislike authority (so I was -5.13 on the vertical scale) but see a small role in government in actually helping people which gave me a slight left bias (-1.63) ... a few years ago I would have been further over to the left - so my views are changing mostly in horrified reaction to intersectionalist regressive left bias in media and so on. So I think the test broadly works as a rough and ready calculator.
  12. Just for cross reference - we have an interview with damo: http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/34992-damo-mitchell-interview-for-tbs-may-2014/?p=549696

    Brian that's your post 6666 ... spooky eh?
  15. what is the point of existence?

    Ah ok. You can't be too careful. I always used to find that when I changed coolant leaks appeared everywhere.

    Hex 49 top line ... in case anyone was wondering
  17. what is the point of existence?

    Oh. Denatured usually means that the molecular chains (such as in proteins) have been broken down. So not sure what that means in terms of water.
  18. what is the point of existence?

    Distilled water I think you mean.
  19. what is the point of existence?

    You forgot the oil and water.
  20. what is the point of existence?

    Karl, did you just put the word 'sex' in that post so I would read it? And what is automatic about choosing beef over lamb? I'm sure there's plenty of sheep that would be pleased by that preference. And Sun has a capital letter and so is elevated to a proper noun while shade remains ... well, in the shade. As I know you live in England and the visible appearance of our nearest star is such a rare event I can well understand why it should have a capital letter. But perhaps subconsciously you were making the link between light and intelligence and shadow and ignorance?

  22. The Waterside Ape

    An interesting programme on this alternative evolutionary theory that man evolved close to water and not on the savannah. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07v0hhm Sir David Attenborough considers whether new evidence will help a once widely ridiculed theory of human origins move towards to mainstream acceptance. In 1960, the eminent Oxford marine biologist Sir Alister Hardy proposed a revolutionary idea - our human ancestors had started their existence not on the wide savannahs of Africa, but had become accustomed to living alongside water, swimming and diving in the shallows, collecting the abundant food and learning to use language and fashion tools. Hardy asserted that this adaptation to living at the waterside would also account for a whole range of peculiarities about the human form, including the layers of fat beneath the skin, the relative lack of body-hair, the development of language and speech, and what has been called our 'runaway brains'. Perhaps surprisingly, it was a screenwriter rather than a scientist, Elaine Morgan, who took up Hardy's theory and, for over 40 years, progressively refined the evidence for the idea. Most mainstream paleo-anthropologists ridiculed and rejected the Hardy-Morgan thesis for decades, but some influential scientists asked for the proposal to be approached with an open mind. Sir David Attenborough first considered the controversial theory on Radio 4 in 2004. In this new series of two programmes, The Waterside Ape, he brings us up to date with the story and the evidence put forward since then - both for the hypothesis and also for its continuing detractors. Back in 2004, Sir David asked Elaine Morgan how long it would take for the aquatic adaptation theory to become a mainstream account of human origins. She answered, "I'll give it ten years." As we review the new evidence, has she been proved right?
