it is interesting that it only mentions adult men. would the number of women make a big enough dent? "The Death of Horatio" -------------------------------------------------- It is true, however, that America was once a place of substantial intergenerational mobility: Sons often did much better than their fathers. A classic 1978 survey found that among adult men whose fathers were in the bottom 25 percent of the

Reply By: Wahkonta Anathema --------------- Here we see that the act of negligence wasn't that the pilots could or could not fly 1875 miles per hour, but that THEY WEREN'T SCRAMBLED TILL AFTER 8:45 WHEN THE FIRST PLANE HAD STRUCK AND THIS WAS A FULL 30 MINUTES AFTER THE HIJACKING HAD OCCURED. --------------- conspiracy site Wahkonta quoted 8 screens of so it's a pain to read the comments section says: -------------- At an average speed of 1125 mph, they would reach

i took a quick glance at that link posted. it mentioned that us forces were at defcon delta. there is no such thing. there is a threatcon delta but defcon is numbered 1-5. it also reports that some f-15 took 19 minutes to reach nyc when it can travel 1875 mph. but it fails to take into account the fact that it can only reach those speeds if it is stripped: no weapons, no external fuel tanks (which it mentions they had), etc. By: Wahkonta Anathema: -----------

Hey out there. Some people out there read a poorly written conspiracy article on some funky conspiracy site that mentions the possibility of remote controlled planes and Mormons and Jews involved in the WTC and get very confused. Now to say with absolute certainty about someone usually leads to the person saying it to looking foolish. But be warned what I am going to say might be offensive to you: if you think 9/11 is a government plot, you're dumb . Really dumb. Drool on you

i had a question too: when there is a delay when the joeuser page shows up, there is a giant joeuser logo that shows up in the background, then apparently it gets covered up by the joeuser page itself. what use is that logo? i already know i'm at joeuser.com, that's the url i clicked/typed in. no one sees it unless there is a delay, and that image has to take some time loading up right?

There is a neat article in the New York Times (free registration required) on Jonathan Blattmachr. Apparently he is a superstar lawyer who specializes in finding loopholes in the tax code for the rich. Normally I hate these guys, but at least he speaks out on some of the biggest loopholes. And when he sees something in the code he considers egregious

the first part of rudolph the red nosed reindeer made my niece cry. plus, your friend has a point. rudolph gets rejected by EVERYONE: friends, family, even santa is upset with him merely because he has a red nose. only the other loners and outcasts befriend him. but as soon as he proves useful THEN the other reindeer want to be friends with him. now the mad tv rudolph/godfather claymation paraody version... rudolph gets rejected, meets up with the other guys, then he builds up

last version of faq i made: http://russellmz.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=242 also: could you update the link on the unofficial faq in the encyclopedia? the "email" link at bottom points to some non-existant page. it should point to either russellmz@yahoo.com or to the link i posted above. thanks!

-------------------------------------- So what do you want? Do you want the US to be involved in yet another war while trying to free Taiwan, when we already have to deal with the war happening right now? -------------------------------------- aside from the fact that taiwan is a major us trading partner, if another democratic nation is threatened do you feel we should not fight to help them?

ah, the joys of never having seen the original series... spoilers . . . . . spoilers fool . . . it was entertaining. a few touches i liked: where else do you see a story where a baby gets its neck snapped? freaky... i was expecting the scientist guy to pull a switcheroo with the lottery number. anyone want to go into conspiracy theories and shout-outs as to why they choose the president to be number 43 in line of succession,

"I tallied killing my own teammate 4 times in the 12 hour marathon and being killed by teammates 7 times. [over 12 hours]" i'd consider killing people in real life for that kind of tk/hour ratio on a public server ;) i also assume the number of "drop flashbang at spawn point" and "guy with bomb charging into center of mass of ct team" incidents was also pretty low...

Reservists and citizen-soldiers stand ready, in every free nation, to stand to the colors and die in holocaust, the big war. Reservists and citizen-soldiers remain utterly reluctant to stand and die in anything less...The man who will go where his colors go, without asking, who will fight a phantom foe in jungle and mountain range, without counting, and who will suffer and die in the midst of incredible hardship, without complaint, is still what he has always been, from Imperial Rome to scept

dang, forgot to discuss the first paragraphs: regardless of whether south korea's army is a match for north korea's or not you fail to note some very important facts. seoul is not only the capital, but the economic and population center of south korea. it is also within artillery range of north korea. in the first minutes of a war, north korea could...no, would, kill thousand of of civilians. there is no way the us or south korea could possibly get all the massed artille

what do you expect to happen 'If the US continues to flaunt its “only super power” status'? the liberal democracies to fight amongst themselves? brit and french troops occupying the east coast? the nova scotia missile crisis? the only that will happen is if the us actually invades innocent countries (general guideline: if the country is run by a dictator who has killed millions of innocent people, it's not that innocent a country. nor if the country is hiding terrorists that killed thou

calc is cool once you understand it. gets a beauty all its own when you figure out how a position equation becomes a velocity equation becomes an acceleration equation and why the constant at the end doesn't matter at all. for a brief instant you can see how a small part of the universe works. being able to understand why x and delta x are different but related, to know what "rate of change" actually means is a great feeling.

did public executions stop crime in the past? i am pretty sure they didn't. i think most murders are spur of the moment non-rational actions (not 100% sure that's right). theoretically if people considered the consequences of their actions properly all the time, they wouldn't commit crimes at all because of the risk of prison. and given chris rock's description of an hbo special on prison, i don't think it's a very pleasant place: "havin' your salad tossed means [you can look it up onl
