    Why can't people think for themselves?

    Come on, grow up, get over yourselves. Most people do actually think for themselves, but maybe simply don't give a toss about being able to define the slope of a vertical line. You're measuring people's ability to think for themselves using an extremely narrow spectrum of reasonning. Some people...

    Poll: Opinion on Health Care Reform

    I guess you're refering to former USSR. USSR was in fact a regime of extremely centralised state-capitalism and holds virtually none of the tenets of a real communist/socialist state. The word socialism was used by both blocks as a propaganda tool

    Poll: Opinion on Health Care Reform

    Apart from South Africa, The Unites states is the only country in the western world that doesn't have state healthcare. I live in France, I can assure you there's nothing evil or sinister about it. I thought the Red scare indoctrination ended with the cold war.

    Suggestion for the next WC

    I heard vague rumors that some would like to see the venue in Indonesia. That would be awesome. I'd take a couple of weeks off and visit the region

    Giving up Cubing for Lent

    What's that based on? Or is is just some personal belief? As to what there was before the big bang, well, if you accept the big bang theory, what happened before is just metaphysics. You might have scientists speculating about what might have happened before, but science cannot answer that...

    Giving up Cubing for Lent

    The big bang theory and the theory of evolution through natural selection don't simply match observations. That isn't enough for a theory to be scientific. Scientific theories equally have a predictive power. This means you're able to predict a particular event or outcome without having ever...

    If we were to go for a polo shirt, what colour would it be? I'm not too fond of the light blue of Dan's UK polo shirt. I do like on the other hand the dark blue of Charlie's t-shirts. Middle blue might get a bit confusing with the french shirts.

    In that case, I'll vote for expensive printing on a t-shirt. (Size L for me in any case) Thx

    I'm not too keen on polo shirts either. If it's possible to get it embroidered on a t-shirt, I'd definately be up for one ( I didn't exactly get if that was possible or not, but if so, my vote goes to that option).

    Oh yeah, come to think of it, so do I. I must have got confused with something else
