That is not the point I was trying to make, the other poster was asked if he had no knowledge of math when in fact I think it was calculus he possibly had no knowledge of. Thus I suggested the anomoly of R.I. vs. U.S.- one could have a lot of knowledge of the U.S. yet know nothing about R.I...

That is the same as saying Rhode Island is the United States.

Are we talking math here or are we talking calculus? Actually a person can know a whole pile about math without knowing anything about calculus. :smile:

You are confusing climate with weather Ironsides. It takes more than a day or a month or even a season to affect climate- probably more like a 5-10 year trend would be considered climate. A few days of freezing in Florida would probably affect the average annual temp. by less than 1/2 a degree...

I continue to hear news reports referring to Western Ontario or Southwest Ontario and then go on to report on places in eastern Ontario like this morning it was London battling bitter cold in Southwestern Ontariol. My map of Ontario tells me London is in southeastern Ontario- places like...

This forum could use some levity...........................................80-year-old widow battles off attacker with pitchfork

Let's pretend we are all on a panel on how to improve our justice system. I know the vast majority thinks it could use a major up grade. Where do we start and what do we change? In this game there are no limiting rules. I'll start the ball rolling by suggesting it will never be right until...

A guy (reportedly an a&&hole) had his will overturned as he favoured his only son above his four daughters. Isn't there an inherent right for a person (albeit an a&&hole) to do as he likes with his own money within the realm of legality? Personally I think the wise person does any squaring up...

Do we have too much Gov't. regulation in our lives? Could the employee and market place do a more effective job of establishing minimum wage? Does Gov't. regulation simply ensure parity between good and poor workers?

And I doubt if they are going anywhere anytime soon. :roll:

As everyone in the world probably knows Bennett chastised Premier Campbell publicly the other day. Did he say what most people already have known all along or was he in breech of cabinet protocol. Whose credibility (since Campbell rescinded the tax cut announcement) is most intact?

It would be interesting what people would come up with in priortising the following from most to least urgent. 1. Environment 2. Unemployment 3. Crime 4. Healthcare 5. Immigration 6. Homelessness 7. Illegal Drugs 8. Other concerns

I've gotten to wonder if people in positions of power or prestige tend to rationalize the impropriety of unethical conduct? What do you think?

Three years for an immigrant to qualify for O.A.S. at our expense!!!!! Can Canadians afford Ruby Dhalla's OAS plan? - Gargoyle: the Blog

I'd say about 2/3 of our population would do well to eat much less- good advice Y.J. and will help the environment. If you eat and exercise properly your body will probably process oxygen more efficiently which will possibly result in your taking fewer breaths. Your wisdom is boundless. (this...

And a most provocative poster - generally full of sh*t. :smile: But once in a blue moon he does come up with something sensible. :smile:

Utter bull crap???????? More and more people are dependent on the same number of acres to sustain themselves. The quality of the soil continues to decline. How much longer do YOU think this can continue? When do you think the non alarmists should start getting alarmed? :smile:

I think it all boils down to what I've been saying for years- the world as we know it is going to end in the next generation or two, caused by man's laziness and greed.

Upon further thought about the video, one thought does keep gnawing away at me. He thinks there is a lot society as a whole can do but not much he can do personally. How about walking more, planting a garden, making the old beater (lawn mower, dishwasher) last another year? Turn the...
