We have plenty of them, too, we call them trolls too, when they do so, Xcept that, by chance, we don't have that whole bunches of stutborn creationnists.
But here as well as in USA, I guess, first things one learns before entering in any lab is to evaluate the uncertainty margins of the theories, of the tools, of the measures, of the calculations.
Much of the trolls critics are made by peoples which never stept in a lab and don't even know that scientists apply uncertainty laws.

Now, with what we know, we can say that the climate is highly probably changing, and consequenses will be probably catastrophic for mankind and many species.
Criticising this by what we don't know is opposing ignorance as an argument against knowledge. This is a trollish attitude.

Sorry, but :

No, the Army instructors just missed their lobotomisation work on the soldiers' brains. (if any brain left) 
As we say in France,
"why imbeciles are dressed with uniforms ?"

Amtrack should name a froggy to modernise US railroads...
networking goes well with our colbertian mentallity.
The problem that is our cheese stocks are not sufficient to buy US maglev technology right now

Seems that you've been overtaken by Germans in matter of maglev commercial devellopment

In an aircrash, people get as dead in a small airplane as in a big one. 
Remember that one big airplane maintenance is cheaper than the maintenance for 5 small airplanes, so that risk should be higher travelling in a small one.
Can't imagine an air company neglecting the maintenance for a 200 millions dollars baby carrying 900 passengers, such an aircrash would be lethal for the company and maybe its insurers

The US manoeuvres in the former USSR republics surrounding Afghanistan push Russia towards Europe.
The russian trust in America is at lowest, because of the US desire to miltarise space, and to get a antimissile shield, not seen as an antiterrorist policy. ???
Today, a contract between ESA and Russia has been signed.

LO

Because Russia wants to deal with ESA as an equal, matter of national pride, as you suggest.
Russian space industry needs money, half the Soyuz production is bought by ESA, to be launched from Kourou.
Nasa isn't much moved by Euro-China-India-Russia space cooperation, all added is a small percentage of US space industry and the main of that quatuor, ESA, cooperates with Nasa in many space science programs.

whatever the disagreement points are, we never forget the US boys fallen when liberating Europe from the Nazis

Hi John Creighton

I said "ordinary rapists" by opposition to "pedophilic rapists", not to say that raping was some ordinary behaviour, but quite frequent.

Do remark that I was talking only about men's reactions about women's rape.

Maybe because I know some lethal close combat and Vo Viet tricks or that having played rugby, my duty as the last defensor was to stop any attacker, whatever his weight and speed were, then, as a man, I admit I've never thought of the possibility to be raped. One at one, I dont fear other men, my abdominal muscles are still 1 and a half inches thick, so plexus and belly are not quite vulerable.  In the district I live, there are no gangs, so I never thought of the possibility of facing many attackers.

I told before I know a girl which had been raped and it took years for her to recover some happiness to live, still this is not all "erased" from her mind.

Mars colonies cannot rely on food importations !
That means a permanent political stability from importation countries on Earth.
Too much of a bet.
Should an administration cut on Space programs for any reason, such as war, revolution or political chaos, environmental catastrophe,
space colonies would starve.
Therefore its absolutely vital to martian and any extra Earth settlement to rely 100% on self food production, whatever happens on Earth.
That's all !

Haha, we have some conceptual and design advance in my studies for inflatable greenhouses,
where earthlike pressure is part of the system 

Works for every planet with no or low pressure atmosphere.
For Mars, chains of compressors are needed to catch and bring atmosphere to about 1 bar.
Advantages are low weight, reduced transportation volume,
little efforts to settle.

About SKs as Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, or our Landru :
How many of them, are they in such a large number that they cannot be kept in observation, as special studies specimens ?
In France such cases happen minus than 2 or 3 per decade,
I guess its the same in USA reported to the population rate

About the "ordinary" rapists, they seem to rise a particular and strange emotionnal overreaction among men, though rape is a very common crime, such common that domestic rapes, husbands raping their unconsenting wifes, have not been considered as crimes until very recent times.

Looks like men overreact a similar way the arab brothers overreact when their sisters' virginity is endangered, or broken.

If capital punishment was the average sentence for a rape whatever the circumstances are, I fear that earth male population would shrink by 10% or more. ???
