I am told this is derived from the term fassia, which was a Roman officer's baton. Actually it was the fasces and these were the symbols of the power of a roman magistrate official. The power of the law. You know, law and order. Yes, I am just claiming that the official numbers are to low and incoh...

They weren't "suspected" they were actually used. What no one knows, to this day, is what happened to them. Saddam refused to cooperate with inspections, as was required under the cease-fire (and yes, he did kick them out at one point). Well, once the war was won, they looked and did not find anyth...

What does the average cost of energy have to do with per capita GDP? That is how much you are paying for your energy compared to how much you make. I do have to admit though, that this is not true for many European countries where gas prices have been climbing rapidly, partially though due to high ...

Since the introduction of the one-child policy, the fertility rate in China has fallen from over three births per woman in 1980 (already a sharp reduction from more than five births per woman in the early 1970s) to approximately 1.8 births in 2008. These are the official numbes, yes. I actually quo...

Suppose it happened sooner rather than later - What do we do? Use our intellect, our technical skills and ingenuity to find a solution for the problem. The other possibility is to fight wars and kill each other until there is few enough people for the available resources. Fighting wars over resourc...

by 100%?!! Actually if the one child policy was really working it would be 200% Nope, the one child policy in china simply is not working. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy Wikipedia also seems to agree. Even with the one-child policy in place, however, "China still has one million more ...

Msimon. I am not in the position to judge the climate situation either way. There are smarter and more qualified people than me butting their heads over it. I do however believe in the ingenuity of our scientists and engineers and in their capability to find a solution to either problem, be it warmi...

Finally he kicked inspectors out of iraq, then they weren't in there for about 14 months(which would be plenty of time to hide something or ship something out). As someone else in the comments said, they were not kicked out, they left. Further, it would still be up to the UN to decide what to do ab...

Yeah, what I dislike about that idea is that it would be rather hard to pick up 1 trillion reflectors again, once earth has cooled down enough, or when we need it to be warmer again.

Either way, it does not matter. Israel was interested in him being removed and so it conveniently happened that there were WMDs suspected there.

TallDave, if Iraq is so save, then why dont more US citizens move there?

Thats why I said "in China you will get lied at". The official numbers China provides are all not true. Of course according to chinese propaganda, the one child family works and their numbers are stable. This is however not true! Otherwise how do you explain a 600 million population increase in the ...

Violence in Islam is not a new thing: Oh I am sure aware of that. No question about it. Them durned Israelis benefited in another way. Saddam was no longer subsidizing the suicide bombing of Jews. I would think that it was more the Lybians, Iranians and Jordanians subsidizing that. Saddam actually ...

I have not understood anything of what he said. A theory of unification would be quite awesome though. 8 dimensions is not that many either, compared to the - how many was that again?- 12?- of String Theory. Besides, what I always disliked about string theory was that it can not be proven or disprov...
