by me: quote:by Minor: quote:When not being specific enough (and proper grammar, spelling is part of what is needed) communication doesn't occur. I should have specified water relative to air. But I still would be wrong (and so would Minor) because it is not actually the water that conducts electricity, it is the dissolved salts and minerals in the water that act as the conductor. So, I am wrong, and Minor's correction of me is also wrong. If I had been clear in my original message Minor would not have needed to (incorrectly) try to correct me. edit: perhaps a better statement would have left out the word good, as in "water is a conductor of electricity..." which would have conveyed the message (although still being technically incorrect it would have sufficed for the point) Wikipedia gives some relative conductivities for those interested Conductivity [ Wednesday, August 23, 2006 04:45: Message edited by: 2bit ] -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Lowbacca: quote:They matter because they show a sloppy and disorganized mind and thereby weaken the credibility of any of your statements. It becomes irritating and detracts from reading for content. It also makes comprehension more difficult (I see "ill" and understand sickness rather than I'll, thus I have to re-read the sentence to make sure I really understand your point). The occasional spelling/grammar error is fine but your messages are littered - you make little/no effort to abide by convention. This causes me to question your research/ability to speak with authority on a topic. quote:Interesting to note that common sense isn't common, it is a learned understanding - so you must know something. Ie. it is common sense not to stand in water when working with electricity - but only if you have learned that water is a good conductor of electricity. Using common sense in here is liable to get you in serious trouble as there seem to be experts on just about any subject, or at least individuals who will put work into learning relevant material from good authorities. That being said, it is also a good place to be if you are willing to be challenged in your thinking and make adjustments as appropriate when proper data is supplied (thanks Kel for lessons on Greek). -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Weighing in on the fish vs whale argument, some definitions of the Greek ketos are quote:from Tektonics.org I am reading a definition that could fit either, or both, of the above claims (fish OR whale). Perhaps the problem is applying modern biology to historic texts and expecting it to work. (for a better discussion on this point read the full article from the above URL). I don't think it is pertinent to the point of the text nor does "whale or fish" do anything to advance/deny claims of (in)fallibility of the bible. SO, why are we arguing this point? -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things." "You Spiderwebbians are mad, mad, mad as March hares."

quote:Look at more than the BMI - your scores are close to mine yet I can run 5K in 20 minutes, participate in triathalons (minis up to 1.5K swim, 40K cycle,10K run), ran a half marathon, cycle for 2+ hrs.... Not that I'm tooting my own horn, it's just that there are other things to look at. Cardio, strength (here I score badly), core body strength (better - fits my needs in rock climbing), BMI index, as was pointed out by Other_Guy how said mass is (disproportionally) dispersed over one's frame. BMI alone is a poor indicator of health - it is a rough tool only.

quote:Are you serious? Do you know how Isreal came into being, the fact that when Isreal was being set up it was a compromise solution that the Jewish people agreed to (they compromised) but the Palestinians refused to compromise and continue to do so. That they have had to fight several wars and an unending terrorst battle to preserve their tiny spit of land? That Arab nations today continue to deny Isreal's right to exist as a sovereign nation? quote:They have never viewed Isreal positively. This is not a recent development. It is a mindset that began before any Isreali actions of self-defense.

That begets the question, if we had all stopped at the last post on p.2 would Alo post to fulfill the prophecy, becoming a spammer extraordinaire or would he have suffered the ignomy of overestimating our ability to create spam? Which would be the lesser of two evils? Edit: I now know how to become an (inadvertent) dbl poster. As I was sending my post I noticed a spelling error. I hit the stop button, fixed the spelling error and resent. Unfortunately, the first message had already posted.

I am saddened that so many are suffering and dying in the Middle East. Isreals' actions are in my view punitive and go beyond a measured response. That being said, Lebanon is not an innocent party in this (undeclared) war, as Hezbollah operate with impunity in the south, along Isreals' border and the cabinet of government even includes two members of Hezbollah. Isreal does need to protect it's citizens in some manner and, if Lebanon, will not act to provide a secure border (refusing to disarm Hezbollah, allowing Beirut to operate as the main base for Hezbollah) then unilateral action may be whats required. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

The resurrection. Oops, mispoke. Meant to say the end of days when J comes and Christians ascend to heaven w/o suffering death. You know, as the song states "...two men standing on a hil, one left standing still, I wish we'd all been ready..."
