Well, Gore did outrun the bear, it’s just that the Supreme Court shot him once he was in the clear.
No… Katherine Harris shot him. The Supreme Court just refused to operate.
I like Gore, but I think his technical knowledge is weak. There is just no need for a huge temperature differential to make geothermal work, anything over 100c is enough to make steam. Even under that, heat pumps can use the earth’s temperature to make heating and cooling more efficient. If we did drill down to a million degree zone, what would we do with it? It would melt any sort of equipment that could be used to tap energy. And why would we drill that deep anyway? Couldn’t we just stop a few feet sooner and use a 1,000 degree source?
I was trying to make it simple so you would understand it.
We all like hearing your ignorant conspiracy theories, but lets settle down to Earth for a second and talk some reality, kay? 52% of Republicans think that ACORN stole the election for Obama. Sorry Chester, your party is stupid. And from what I can tell, you belong there.
And the left caused this? You know, just saying things doesn’t make them true.
Again, the ramblings of a mental deficient. Stating something like that without evidence to back it up just shows that you’re a simpering blind ideologue who can’t think for himself. You’re a fucking lemming, and you can’t wait to leap off that cliff.
Irony!
Heh. That’s what you got? Uh, maybe Biden meant radio? Maybe, you know, he misspoke, like he’s prone to do. You do understand that slipping of the tongue doesn’t mean you don’t understand something, it means you’ve made a momentary gaffe. Like when you misspelled “proponent” above. I assume you actually know how to spell it, but you just made a momentary flub.
But I guess by your standards you’re a fucking liar who makes up words when you want to appear knowledgeable?
Do us all a favor and shut your fool mouth up before you underline your stupidity any more. It’s embarrassing.
Heh. I was just talking about him, but that doesn’t mean that a lot of conservatives aren’t stupid. 
Just in case no one has brought this up:
To produce electricty from Geothermal energy requires temperatures of about 300-700 degrees Farenheit. There are some demonstration projects testing lower temperature geothermal (i.e. 185 degrees).
I was in Iceland last February and was awed by their geothermal usage. They extracted live steam from wells and used it to generate electricity. They extracted hot water from shallower wells and ran it to houses for heating and hot water. Left over warm water was run through pipes under the sidewalks to melt snow and ice. They have a unique situation of course, but it was still amazing.
Impromptu tea party for Sarah in Noblesville, Indiana:
Maybe signing a few books for fans really is too stressful for her, but even a political amoeba should be smart enough to know that you don’t leave your fans hangin like that. :smack:
The problem isn’t so much that Sarah Palin isn’t smart enough to be President, but that the people who think she’s Presidential material and idolize her are too stupid to be voters.
Yet from this datum it appears that they might well pass a literacy test for voters.
We are DOOMED!
And I can understand some of the confusion after all, eight years of George Bush could easily lead one to think perhaps intelligence isn’t really a skill set requirement for the position.
While everyone, even his opponents, were willing to admit he was nice enough and personable, he ran the country into the ground, lied to start a land war in Asia, deregulated wall street to the brink of crashing the world economy. He did not campaign for his party’s replacement candidate,
or leave office with a book deal or extensive lucrative speaking tour, which all speaks volumes about what people thought of him by the end of his term, damned lies that statistics are completely aside.
That you, an avid supporter, aren’t smart enough to see why, she’s not smart enough to be president, hardly shocks anyone, I’m sure.
Don’t blame him - he’s a physicist. They suffer from the same problem as mathematicians (though of course, theirs is a much less rigorous problem) : most of their time is spent in a thoughtspace where abstract constructs codify and determine reality, only coming back to our collective one to jot things down and eventually blow stuff up.
Being only tenuously connected to a carefully selected body of facts, ignoring the rest as irrelevant_in_this_context, and growing even more distant from the actual, existing problem they’re trying to figure out over time, integrations and rounding errors is their ground state.
Now, assume a spherical, frictionless President.
Thanks a heap for the mental image of a greased William Howard Taft.
People that wander onto message boards and immediately announce that they are physicists, usually aren’t. Real physicists know that they don’t have to announce that they are physicists to do pretty basic unit analysis. Also, you are correct that being a physicist does not automatically make you smart. There may be slightly fewer dumbasses than the general population.
You posted an absolute claim that Republicans presidential candidates always get worse negative press than Democratic presidents in the last thirty years, no matter what. I showed you a link that shows a Republican presidential candidate getting less negative press than a Democratic presidential candidate. A different Republican candidate getting more negative press than his Democratic rival doesn’t really support your point.
Did you miss their section on conservative bias? Or did you hope that I would?
If we were arguing about whether there was a net bias one way or the other, this would be a pretty good cite, I’ll admit.
Again, not really that relevant. Whether or not MSNBC has a liberal slant or not doesn’t address the original claim.
I’ve changed my mind. Based on this well thought-out and cogent answer Ms. Palin gave to Bill O’Reilly on why she would make a good president, I now see that there are hidden depths to her intellect. Very well-hidden depths…
Here’s an example of a typical lib for you… quoting her out of context and then “conveniently” lopping off the rest of what she had to say. :rolleyes:
…because uh, some, people out there, in our nation don’t have maps. and uh… I believe that our education like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as… and, I believe they should uh, our education over here, in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.
Of course, in context, that made, mmm, much more sense. Well, it went over my head, but our politicians/leaders should be smarter than me. I mean, it sounds really smart! Anyone else who didn’t understand it is probably a typical lib, putting down Palin because she’s so far advanced in her thinking that she leaves them in the dust.
So there!
I see what you went and did there.
Sarah Palin is her role model.
Damn, and I thought that was an actual Palin quote. Bad enough that it was by a real person.
So, Frostillicus, how did you know who it was?
