You know, that is something I have never thought of...until today of course. I wonder what the tonnage of CO2 we(humans) expel annually into the atmosphere. Something to the effect of: Take the average Adult lung capasity. Figure the world population is 75% fully grown, so you need to figure out an average lung capasity of chidren and use that for 25% of the 6 Billion on earth. Figure out the density of our exhaled gasses and what percentage of that is CO2. Multiply it by the molecular weight (or mole weight..can't remember) and come up with some figure. Anyone up for it? This much I know... I exhale an average of 20 times per minute = 1200 times/ hour = 28,800 per day = 10,519,200 times per year. it is a start. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I would argue the ramifactions are not "Huge", and I don't think it is the Job of the Federal Govenment to pay out Billions in MY tax dollars based on a Theory some greenies have. If they dirty crunchy hippies had their way, we would all be dead. After all we exhale CO2 ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

You STILL haven't answered the question... But nice try dodging it. THE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT THE PALESTINIANS BREAKING INTO EGYPT. [B]HOW IS THAT DEFENDING THEIR HOMELAND? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I hardly call bum rushing the Egyption border "Defending their homeland" Do you? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

That is true no one (including me) really KNOWS. But the happy green people of the world are convinced they KNOW. And that is why you can not argue with them... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

See, obiously it CANT be those palestinians... They are the victims (sarcasm). They finally get the jews to agree on a peace deal and begin to pull out. And what is the first thing they do??? Go into EGYPT and try to claim that land. Typical... As to the comment about Canada... Doesn't surprise me in the least. Hey maybe with the canadian $$$ they can stop throwing rocks now... Maybe they could buy some sling shots!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

What else could warm ocean waters? Look at the ALbedo of the earth... Gases do not "Warm up" the H2O. Gasses instead trap solar radiation from reflecting back into space, and indirectly cause the atmoshere to warm up. As the atmosphere warms, the H20 and earth surface warm. That is no theory... that is fact. The Big GW debate is on the exact cause of the "Greenhouse Effect" The ironic thing however, is that GW leads directly to Global Cooling... It is also a fact that wamer waters do lead to larger Hurricanes. I wouldn't dispute that. A hurricane in some sense is simple a mechanism for nature to balance energy. Hurricanes are giant Heat transport systems. They divert a build up of energy from the tropics northward toward the poles (or south ward in the southern hemisphere. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I know your in the field Kallend, but so am I. I am in research meteorology with MIT, and I don't think at this point it is possible to Link GW with our current Hurricane situation as Robert Kennedy Jr. did two weeks ago. All the data point to long term cycles which span times well before the Industrial revolution. It is hard for me and many in my field to think that man made GW was occurring in the mid 1800's. I am not going to get going on the GW discussion again, but there are a few things to point out. 1) this is a hot topic that sells well right now... a little media sensationalism. Much like the shark attacks a few years ago in FLA. Shit you would have thought it was the worst shark attack season ever in FL turns out...it was slightly below average, but the media picked up on it. 2) We (the earth) is still coming out of the last Ice Age... not shit the Earth is warming slightly whether we were here or not it would be. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I wonder if anyone thought... hey maybe its those damn palestinians that are the problem. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1132019 ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

That and also the fact tha I am sure you know her Bra and panty size.... Oh yeah, no masterbating in the morning while watching fox OK... It will cause blindness 2 fold.

OK, you are a lawyer type... Didn't the last case get overturned (due to lack of standing of Newdow) by the SCOTUS? And since the 9th's ruling was overturned, there is no precedent to bind the judge, right? J There wasn't really precedent, however, Newdow didn't have custody of his daughter, and the mother did. THe mother said He could not represent her. He then really had no case... So this time he went out and found 3 anonomous families with kids to join the fight. Sad that he is an athiest, his daughter a Christian, and he USED her to try to win a fight for his own cause. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Yes I did. Here are some facts about her. "Kiran" is Nepalese for "rays of sunshine." She was born in Kathmandu, Nepal. She grew up in Gaithersburg, Maryland. She received a B.A. in broadcast journalism from the University of Maryland’s College of Journalism. Her first appearance on Fox News was March 8, 2001. She has a Boston Terrier named Herman I think if Kiran were smart... she would talk with LAWROCKET and get the restraining order against you now before it is too late ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Question.... After allegations of abuse by MPs and Gaurds at GITMO were put forth by an interegator, an investigation into those claims of abuse was initiated... Am I right so far? That investigation found what? a) they were abusing/torturing prisioners or b) The allagations of abuses were untrue I think it is a pretty straight forward article. THey went there to investigate allegations of abuse by guards and MPs. WHat they found instead was an interogator who was trying to befriend the enemy and betray his own men. Which further leads to the conclusion that the stories of abuse were false.... Instead you have a single interogator causing all the problems. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

But, you can not use the O'reilly factor when as any sort of basis for "News Bias" O'reilly is not a News anchor and his show is not a News show and more than Larry King, or Donny Deutch. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Did you know she was born in Kathmandu Napal? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Rereading the article, it sounds to me like this investigation was focused and specific to allegations brought forth by a single interrogator. If that's the case, then the above conclusion pertains only to those specific allegations, and not to GITMO's operations in general. Note that when allegations like these are made, they must be very specific. "They do this sorta thing all the time," does not prompt an investigation. Dates and times and participants in specific incidents are detailed and investigated. If evidence is found that the incidents did, in fact, take place and that there is potential for there to be a trend, then the investigation usually continues in that direction. Is this the case here, or was this particular investigation comprehensive? Anyone? Bueller? Simply read the FIrst line of the article: A U.S. inquiry into alleged abuse at Guantanamo uncovered a climate of deep distrust between military police and interrogators It was an inquire into alleged abuse by (PLURAL) Interrogators. The article does go on to describe wha tthey found out about a few specific ones, but the investigation dates back to March 04 after abuse claims were made. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Funny... Bush says something and you believe him because it favors your opinion. Bush says something else which you don't agree with and he is (Pick one) A lier, racist, moron, hawk, murderer... good double standard :-) Personally, I still believe it is the fault of 1) THe people who could leave and chose not to 2) Local Government.... THe Mayor has proven himself incompetent. 3) State Government ... The Gov is also a moron and incompetent. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

A while back some liberals on this site weret alking about abuse and toture at GITMO. Some simply made things up, some said it was "Well documented" etc.... Below buried in this article you will see what investigators found after over one year... "An investigating officer, however, found no evidence of abuse by the guards." But of course many here won't believe that. Many too will simply change the subject away from what this post is intended for ... Claims of torture at GITMO. So, what say you now? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

And what are you basing your facts on... Canadian Liberal Media? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Maybe not but the fact that it was reported by: The LA Times Boston Globe NY Times CNN And Fox Probably means there is some truth to it. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

well documented... The Pres gave the Gov the go ahead... Unfortunately the Pres can't do anything without the Govenors permission. She said... give me 24hrs to decide. 24hrs....? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

The letter sent by governor Blanco to the president through the Regional FEMA office as per the Stafford Act. I mean, you are so vocal about them not asking for assistance that I am assuming you actually checked this wasn't done right?!?!? try google.... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Gov. Blanco Refused .... Let me say that again so you understand... REFUSED to listen to the advice of the President when he told her she should order a Mandatory Evacuation on Saturday. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

The request was made on August 27th, prior to the hurricane hitting. The state of emergency was declared on August 27th as well by the president, all under the Stafford Act. The paperwork was all done, procedures were followed, just the action part didn't work out. That part is the POTUS and his department heads.... What request? What evidence do you have? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty
