It's a very different story, the whole IRA thing. They would stop all the
attacks if Britain would give Ireland their island back... they claim its
because of religion, but its really a political matter. It can be resolved
in a fairly easy way.
On the other hand, the Fundamentalist Muslims claim these attacks to be
political, but is really religious. These people just want to see us fall at
any cost, because it hinders their progress to achieve their relgious goals
of domination.
I'm not saying that the IRA's attacks are any less tragic, but I'm saying
that Britain has an easy way of resolving the issue. There is no easy way
out for America. We are going to have to annihilate all our enemies and
those countries supporting our enemies before these fundamentalists obtain
and make use of nuclear weaponry.

Yeah, well clearly you're clued-in on the whole thing. Here's an idea: STFU
until you actually have the faintest idea what you're on about.

The apparent fact that you hate or at least dislike the US does not
automatically make everything we have ever tried to do wrong. As for
Israel, I believe that in '48 they were given back land that had been theirs
some 4000 years before, to try to atone for what part of the world did to
them as a people. It wasn't done to displace the Palestinians. Whether we
approve of war or not, it has been a long standing tradition that war and
warlike acts were to be confined to battlefields, and participants uniformed
and armed , prepared to fight, accept wounds and death to protect their
country and/or ideals. Innocents were not to be attacked, harmed our used
as shields. Ever heard of the Geneva Accords?

Im not saying they dont. Furthermore, the US doesnt support or condone the
actions of the IRA. With Britain as the US's prime allies, they wouldn't
condone any attacks on them. What is happening in Ireland is awful, but is
more like a civil war over one main issue: Britain's control of Northern
Ireland. The people involved in bombing targets with innocent people are
madmen.

Interesting. VERY Hitlerian. It reads very much like one of his speeches would have
sounded. Just change the names of a few nations, and you have Adolf, speaking in the
'30's

Godwins law does not apply as long as at least one of the people involved has an IQ higher
than room temperature.
Sorry about that.
Secondly, I did not call anyone a Nazi, nor did I invoke WW2. I was discussing
writing/speaking styles and subjects. As much as I despise Adolf, and as little German as I
speak (barely enough to fine a beer hall), Adolf was one hell of speaker.
Bob
Godwin's Law doesn't actually apply unless a psoter is making a direct
comparison between the poster, or their views and Nazism or Hitler or
whatnot.

I use Fahrenheit. If you use exclusively Kelvin, you must have a very difficult time discussing weather with 99% of humanity.
Are you a Moose? Good Organization.

Ergo, 0° C = 273K

What I was taught (several millennia ago, it seems), is that 0 Kelvin is where molecular motion stops. IF you define heat as molecular
motion, then you are right.

I was going from memory, and I have a bad one, and haven't had to use
this stuff in years. Would anyone be able to tell the difference
between 0k and 4k? :-)

You have to. There can't be heat without molecular motion. (nor can there
be molecular motion without atomic motion, nor can there be atomic motion
without molecular motion resulting)
