Suggestions & Concerns / Re: Forum structure

Should someone bring this post to this forum? Or leave it up to Tom?

Really, we need to bring Tom to the forum. He'll come, but not without any juicy noobs to eat.

I'm a noob but I'm afraid I'm tough and stringy.

If tenderized properly however, I might make a palatable appetizer.

Science & Alternative Science / Re: Time and Gravity are the same thing.

I'm glad we are clear that weight is not mass. Weight is a function of mass and gravity but you know that don't you?

Mass is a function of gravity, but weight is a function of mass, I'm not sure what you're not getting here.

if the weight of an object is entirely dependent on it's mass how come the weight of an object can change and it's mass stay the same?

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: The British Empire brought civilisation.

to go out & conquer 1/4 of the world, & bring civilisation to those who needed it most.

ahem, 1/3rd.

don't do us down. 

To what areas of the world did they "bring civilization" to, and what makes the prior laws and customs of the people who came under British control not definitive of civilization for them?

The cult of Thuggee and the practice of burning wives on their husbands funeral pyre spring to mind.
