Actually Canada has multiple sources of green energy. The region east of the Rockies features a westerly flow of air that is perfect for wind turbines. The Bay of Fundy has tides that generate enormous natural energy. And Canada has thousands of rivers for Hydro power. Let's face it - if a...

You do realize that the US has no socialist party equivalent to those in most Western democracies don't you? Exactly what is the name of this party?

Perhaps you should probably stop reading fake news.

Walter and thinking are a contradiction in terms. Like most climate change deniers he is determined to ignore any data that contradicts the propaganda spewed forth by big oil and the coal industry. And you don't see that as possible climate change because...?

It is hard to believe that someone actually believes in this fiscal nonsense any more given that it has failed so completely everywhere it has been attempted. But here we have Kansas attempting to implement Trickle Down Economics with the usual abysmal result. The Atlantic...

Here is something I just saw on the news - Americans considering moving to Canada to escape Obama, not realizing that if Obama was a Canadian politician he would be to the right of most Canadians on many of his policies. They also apparently do not realize that Obomacare is a weaker version of...

OK folks the election is over. Romney may as well throw in the towel and save himself a couple of months of frustration. It turns out that Obama actually brews his own beer or at least someone in the White House does it for him. Contrast this with teetotaller Mitt Romney and it simply is no...

I would not bet on that. Huge droughts in Africa have already killed tens of thousands and will kill more. Desertification and changing rainfall and snowfall patterns have and will disrupt agriculture worldwide resulting in rising food prices and shortages for those living at subsistence...

Always important to consider the source in these articles, and I note that the site publishing the article is a global warming denial site. Until the 99% of climatologists who agree with AGW reverse their stand I would take this article with a grain of salt.

It seems that in its coverage of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies NBC decided that viewers would rather watch Ryan Seacrest interview Michael Phelps than see a part of the ceremony honouring victims of the July 2007 terrorist attack that killed 52 Britons and injured many more. Apparently some...

Apparently a light weighted paper bag can work as well. People really don't have a clue as to what they are seeing when the look at the night sky. Supposedly a few years ago during a power failure hundreds of people phoned the authorities asking what the glowing bright lights in the sky were.

A ruling in Germany has placed a partial ban on circumcision until children are old enough to choose for themselves whether they wish to be circumcised. From the article: The court made its ruling in the case of a 4-year-old boy who had been circumcised at the wishes of his Muslim parents...

In an attempt to do away with rubber bullets and other more lethal form of riot control the Russians have developed a riot control gun that fires shuttlecocks at a rate of one shot per second with 300 atmosphers of force. Apparently that is hard enough to knock rioters of their feet without...

It appears that the US is one of the few industrialized nations in the world where citizens are not guaranteed a yearly vacation. Please note the Canada and Japan are also right in there so far as denying their citizens vacations. Paid Holidays/Vacation Days in the U.S. Versus Other OECD...

Interestingly I heard about this site on a CBC program today and then later on the local news. It is a world news site where readers can rate the stories. It appears that as usual the most trivial topics receive the most votes, but there are some interesting stories nevertheless, and the site...

Just thought I'd drop in this little gem. After years of corporate tax cuts we have Bombardier laying off 3000 employees and tranferring the jobs to Mexico. And that is entirely the problem with across the board tax cuts that make no distinction between businesses that actually create jobs and...

Anything to this story? The link was emailed to me by a relative. It claims that cars getting up to eighty miles per gallon in Europe are banned in the United States. Revolutionary Politics::Revolutionary Politics : VW with 80mpg? Made in the USA, but illegal to purchase.

Ezra Levant and Fox News? There are two really unbiased sources. They have about as much credibility as the tobacco industry. In fact most global warming deniers appear to have picked up their propagandist techniques from that industry.

None of the ideas stated in the thread seem to have done the Aztecs, Druids, Mayans, or even European "witches" (who were burned at the stake by the thousands in the 16th and 17th Centuries) any good. I can only conclude that the poster may be in error.

I found this list on the Listverse site. I cannot say that I agree with all of it, but it does make some interesting points. Top 10 Sci Fi Inventions that Should not be Invented
