    Can we really run car with water?

    Oh, they can definitely afford to make hydrogen, and it would help with the oil problems. Getting rid of the pollution is the expensive part, though. It is not just converting that costs money, but the infrastructure depends on what is being currently produced. It has to be phased in, the...

    I'm gone.

    I'd love to do that some times, too. It's just funny how propaganda works. It is so effective due to human nature, the tendency to follow emotions and be stubborn. People who know what they are doing know how to manipulate this, it can work on even the smartest of people. Just take a...

    I'm gone.

    Yes, but the problem is, the people who already can figure it out the most aren't the ones who need to know. There are people who will actually go out and vote on things and create policy based on their opinions, misguided opinion means misguided vote. It is IMPERATIVE that people 'wake up'...

    I'm gone.

    I don't subscribe to the 'deaf community', because I am an individual. A community, in this sense, implies boundaries, and I don't like those. A community is people who work together, no matter what/who they are, like a family or a town (to me). I feel self limitation has no place in this, that...

    I'm gone.

    Yeah... I was just weak for a moment. Contemplating things is one of the few things I have, and is my main goal in life... and when something interferes with that, it interferes with my livelihood and main purpose in existence. It is very frustrating and discouraging. And what bugs me the...

    I'm gone.

    I've had it. I have tired to speak out to get people to think more freely without being subject as much to destructive emotions and other people's squawkings and propaganda (media, popular yet baseless opinion, etc.) I guess people don't care. I try to take this stuff out of a topic and...

    A Solder Threw A Puppy Away

    I apologize if I have been a bit harsh lately. I don't have anything against anyone. But it drives me absolutely insane when people mix connotation with denotation, like they are the same thing.

    Can we really run car with water?

    Yeah, that kind of shows how viable hydrogen is. But I would think it also shows (I am not sure what they actually say but based on the generator he is using...) is that you still require -electricity- to make hydrogen, and to make electricity, we need something besides hydrogen to power it...

    Very very close... it is that sort of thing, yes. :)

    Soldier on trial for Iraq refusal

    There is a big difference between something that you FEEL is insulting and something that actually is insulting. I think you need to see that ignoring the law is the same as breaking the law, which is entirely irrelevant here, because as jiro pointed out rather plainly for you, this is about...

    Virginia man sheds 80 pounds eating at McDonald's

    Uh oh, looks like another ploy to brainwash people into giving their money! :Ohno: Seriously, I'm sure a lot of people have done this. It is not newsworthy. But I wouldn't be surprised if McDonald's paid some news people to blurb this article.

    Soldier on trial for Iraq refusal

    Yup. Anyway... it is true that he shouldn't have signed up, legally, if he wasn't willing to follow orders. However, dissent happens. The US would not be it's own country right now, if dissent did not happen. We would still be under England. Within the system itself, you have to pay for...

    Why the discrepancies between ASL and English?

    I know part of it is grammar, and part of it is complexity, and partly a lack of standardization. But I feel this does not account for the MASSIVE discrepancy between an English dictionary and an ASL dictionary. The biggest ASL dictionary I have seen is around 5,000 signs. most are between...

    Astrological Symbols...

    You know, this is a good question. I've looked just now and can't find them in any ASL dictionary... (except the basic Sun, Moon, Earth) And I've noticed something... It seems you have to PAY for anything more than a very basic handshape dictionary of maybe a thousand words or two. This is...

    Can we really run car with water?

    To demonstrate the problem: It's possible for you to extract hydrogen right in your home, with the right materials and using renewable resources (solar, wind, thermal, hydroelectric, whatever) The problem would be, it would be small, because you probably can't afford enough components to make...

    Can we really run car with water?

    Well, more accurately, it says producing the hydrogen makes more pollution, not the cars themselves (which is currently true, but not scientifically hard to fix, only economically difficult) Edit: Also. My theory is, while it would take a big shift in production methods, (using clean, renewable...

    Can we really run car with water?

    Well, we can renew water ourselves, because we can make the base molecules in a lab pretty easily. I doubt we could ever use all the water on the planet, but we could find a way to replace it if it started to look like we were. We however -can't- renew oil in the same way. Edit: And we are...

    What do you propose they are? Aliens? If you are born from a human mother, and a human father, then you are a human. Ethics and morality does not enter into it. Edit: Oh. And they may be inhumane, but it takes a human to be inhumane.
