Fixed. Not even the hardcore conservatives are advocating less regulation now, just a few hold-outs here on the fringe. ANC - true, although I suspect that whatever the current president says anymore, people believe the opposite. The guy has below a 50/50 on being right on important issues...

That could be magnesium deficiency. The pattern is indicative of magnesium deficiency anyway, with darker green near the veins. Just mix a pinch of epsom salt per plant in the water the next time you water. Many fertilizers don't have any magnesium and cannabis uses more than the average plant.

If you didn't see it, it's on CBS's web site here: 60 Minutes, 11.16.08 Video - CBSNews.com

We've got to get our electricity from somewhere. Burn coal, the atmosphere get fucked up. Build dams, people complain that their houses will be flooded. Put up wind turbines, people bitch that they're "ugly monstrosities" and grind city council meetings to a halt with their bitching. Build...

Hydrogen can work as a means of energy storage, but you can't use water as a fuel. Water is the product of the oxidation of hydrogen, and has essentially zero potential chemical energy. You can split it with electricity to get hydrogen and oxygen again, but you have to add a lot of energy to...

My tap water doesn't have a detectable amount of chlorine in it, although it is a bit high in minerals. Still, I've hardly been watering at all, so I don't think this is a major issue. I checked the pH by slowly watering until it started to drip out of the bottom, then checked it with litmus...

I have some young plants, a mixture of Arjan's Ultra Haze #1 and Mandala's Hashberry and Satori. Anyway, the plants are a few weeks old, and the area I've been keeping them is kind of cold, typically 50-60 degrees. They're not growing too fast, but until I'm capable of insulating and fixing up...

AFAIK, this "pledge" consisted of him raising his hand during a primary debate back in 2007. He didn't have much time to think about it and probably made a mistake. I'm not saying that the Forrestal incident implicated McCain, just that your logic was lacking. At that point in his life, Obama...

Or maybe he could just be practicing what he preaches. This is stuff he's been saying he'd do all along after all. A lot of liberal organizations are definitely expecting him to be more liberal, and I don't doubt there will be disappointment among their ranks. There already is, in fact, over...

I saw Daniel Pipes in person back in 2003 as part of a lecture series. He gave a decent breakdown of the demographics of the middle east, but then went on to say something to the effect of that the goal of the US should be to kill every terrorist in the world. Uh huh. :roll: You just listed a...

Hmm, just realized I worded that wrong, I should have said large-scale terrorist attacks, or massive terrorists attacks or something like that. My bad. Yeah, but only 6 people were killed in that. I know there were Americans killed by terrorists under Clinton, but the numbers dwarf the death...

It doesn't invalidate anything I said. The purpose of an election really is to choose a candidate whose views are similar to those of the country as a whole. That's the whole point of having an election.

You would have done the same thing. Obama had a choice to either go back on something he said six months ago or lose the greatest financial advantage a presidential candidate has ever had. Wow, classic logical fallacy here, namely "invalid assumption". The media didn't report on the Forestal...

From the sounds of it, bongspit's friend didn't get a house. These scenarios are actually pretty common, where people wind up screwed because they were unlucky. If that happened to me, I have an extended family that would help me out, but not everyone has that. In order to justify their...

Big P - actually by "bellicose" I meant the "starting wars" part. ie, many conservatives are all too eager to use military options, Ron Paul being an exception. But I agree with you that most of us wouldn't be here if we didn't enjoy arguing at least a little. ;) If we're already in a...

We had no foreign terrorist attacks on our country under any president BUT Bush! And in every year during the Bush administration, more Americans were killed because of terrorists than in the entire Clinton administration.

Every person in the US has a different vision of the future though. The purpose of an election is to pick the guy whose views are most in line with the country's.

There are some dangers to following only yourself. I mean, what if you're a bellicose halfwit? ;)

I calculated once that more people are killed by horses than terrorists. Granted, horses are the deadliest animal in the US, causing about 200 deaths a year, but if terrorists were their own species, they'd still be somewhere around bumblebees.

One higher-up in the KKK said that the last thing he wanted was for someone to kill Obama and make him a martyr. You can probably find the quote if you look for it.
