I always buy.

Saying that I think I would probably download pirated media if I couldn't afford it.

Doing nothing is political suicide.
It's not, because no one's doing anything. Hypothetical politician John Q. Conformist takes the exact same reputation hit as everyone else, i.e. no relative reputation hit.

I wouldn't vote for a government who allowed this to go on. No matter what side of the political spectrum they were on.

Discussions limited to the first two levels of Bloom's taxonomy = Pissing contest

So if this discussion involved the 'other levels' of Blooms taxonomy there would be no pissing contest?

Personally I think it's because of intellectual snobbery.

Lets just argue for argues sake.



It's what happens when discussions are limited to the first two levels of Bloom's taxonomy, which would amount to an argument rather than a debate. I'd rather it stay in the upper tiers. Providing and analyzing data is what I want to see here. Though questions are welcome, and encouraged. It's easy to become misinformed or confused over the issue, especially when it's so politically heated.

No, it happens when the debate becomes a pissing contest.

It is so exciting that all of this is occurring just 130km from where I live.

Go and conduct a citizen arrest.

The law needs to be applied.

Arrest the idiot and his idiot followers.

The center of the earth is very hot. The surface of the earth varies in temperature allowing liquid water to form (it's not so hot).

Why can't a star have the same property?

Nothing like the earth. Stars are clouds of gas, and the outer layers are recycled into the core via convection.


Tom the model you're using for convection etc... is for main sequence stars (i.e. something like our sun) the star under examination here is a brown dwarf star which does not have the mass to cause a chain reaction that powers a star like our sun. The heat flow mechanism within its core is not the same as the one you're proposing.

It's a failed star that lies on the cusp of being a planet.

I thought the superman film before the man of steel with Brandon Routh had a good twist to it as well. I don't know why they didn't carry it on a bit more.

SU and I were going to take pics and post before, but we decided we didn't want to add to the publicity that he didn't deserve.  Nevada is an open carry state, but it is still a crime to aim a firearm at another person.  They should have been arrested.  It was incredibly tense driving by, though.
The only problem with this line of thought is that these people don't recognize the power of the federal government.  They think that the county sheriff is the only authority who is legally allowed to enforce laws.

Get the county sheriff to sort them out then.

I want to know why they need that handbook in the first place. Did they have some cheerleaders who were 'disease bags' who they needed to provide guidelines for?

The guy probably does begging for a living.
