Terrific post Sam. We really need to understand what the impact of the various technologies will be--- and sometimes we won't like it.There just are not enough resources for us all to enjoy the...
Atlas-- you have no idea how much I wish you were right and the tiger is no longer extinct. Just imagine, we 'stupid apes' destroyed a species so recently that we were able to FILM the animal in its...
Savannah- you may have intended sarcasm, I am a bit cynical myself, but by taking the question seriously conk has in fact proposed a solution, or at least an accommodation. If we expect misery and...
I saw this on the news last night. I think it is brilliant, and very much needed. It even has a ramp so will be able to be used for freight, and also for wheelchairs. The designer usually does...
Someone else beat me to it--- Glastonbury Tor -- but also the ruins of the Abbey where king Arthur is supposed to be buried. Glastonbury is a favourite site mentioned as Camelot, and there is also...
You do not know whether the lump is cancerous yet? If it is, then it must be removed, or it will grow and possibly spread to other parts of your body.
If it is not malignant then you say that...
Thank you Kapyong. I fully agree with you and found your first post very informative indeed, but as you can see from the responders, there are many on this site who remain unconvinced, and it has...

This news has caused a huge reaction in Australia--- mainly of shock and revulsion. A Royal Commission has been put in place, which is the highest form of legal inquiry that can be ordered, but it...
This i fascinating because it is so 'unknown' in spite of the fact the place is named after the feature.
It seems that unexplained structures are often claimed to be natural formations--- the...
Politics everywhere is getting quite strange ! There are no longer any certainties, and people seem not to trust the main parties (possibly with good reason). I'd love to know the real reason behind...
I think there is a good example of all the special little snowflakes thinking they are too smart to vote happening right now in the UK. Only about 35% of the younger voters bothered to vote and now...
It is compulsory to ENROL to vote if you are eligible. You can legally be fined for not enrolling- I concede this rarely happens. You are eligible to enrol if you are an Australian citizen over 18...
It is not compulsory to vote-- it is compulsory to register to vote if you are over 18. Then you must register to cast a vote on polling day. You can then do what you like-- drawing on the paper is...
I agree with a lot you have said araucaria, but I think the problem is that if you allow the phrase "kids too young to remember" it should be followed by "folks too old to forget". There is a lot...
