Azul, Forced murder of living beings, so you must by pro choice to murder the kids. Sounds to me that you want to live in a world like china. Why not forced work camps, and a protien bank made from lazy folk.
You want to go to mars and make your own hell, save your self the trip and move to China.
Why go to Mars to recreate the city on the hill and end up with a dump? All you think about is how much O2 a person will use, or how much food will they eat in a year. Why get so up tight if some married people who love follow his order to fill the world with people. If the world is Mars or Earth Gods order still stands, so if some people want to have 2,3, or up 12 kids no mater just make some more green houses to grow food for them, O2 form the plants or water spilting. Mars has lots of resources, best of all no people. So when the first pople move there, they wont have to care about resources. Mars could easly support millions to billions of people. Most of Mars could end up cover in miles of green houses and domed citys. In way way Terraforming is not needed, We could just cover Mars usable surfaces with domes or large roofed areas.
Mable just a new magnetic shield to protect Mars form solar flares is needed.
In your imaginary world you want to turn Mars into your own little control world, where if so one has more than one kid they have to murder any that come after that, just sick.
When and if people go to settle Mars it will be with better ideas, tech, then we can think of today. For them feeding and providing air wont be a problem. If they could not hanndle Mars people wont move there in the first place.
Mars has lots of land area in fact Mars surface area is close to that of earth dry land area. On earth we only use a small % of dry land to grow food for billions. Given that Mars has the same resources to grow food, H2O, CO2, and N, P, K.  easy to mine. Mars could easly support millions, oof crouse with work and lots of enclosed greenhouses. Of crouse that is if people can handle the low gravity, childern born on Mars might never be able to vist Earth. Given that they would be weak, and any earth born person could throw them around like a basketball on mars

Was up eh, whats you sap drinkers doing up there? Canada most Love the Acer family a lot to put it on there flag eh.
Do you like spam and ketsup that much?
Acer negundo Acerceae is my favorite tree, though Acer grandetatum run 2nd, Also Alnus Oblongefolia is cool. As for cannada trees Pinus ponderosa, Douglas Fir, Acer negundo, Aspen. I think Canada is best just with trees and no people, I mean they did not even rebel against england, and Canadian beer taste Bad, give me American any time over cannada! smile
Any ways I like Canada, when I visted BC Victoria, every one was nice to me. They said hello and said they were sorry for me for not having free  paid government health care. Also it was very clean, and no Mexicans speaking spanish.
Also the Money was cool looking with some old chick on it. Over all canada would nice place to vist but because of rampent liberism and high taxes I would not live there. Also Canada should get a little more respect from us Americans, they are over all a nice socailist nation that could be easily invaded by use if we want to get some of that oil sand in Albertia. May be operation Canada freedom , to free its people from it libral socalist givernment dicators that are so called elected by voters. I just think Canada might have some WMDs some where. Just joking but I do like canada a little bit.

Hye redargon, spring has started here in phoenix and its still Jan. The Ash trees are leafing out and spreading their pollen every where much to the blight of allergie people. It will still be nice until mid April by your standerds. About every Easter it reaches in to the 90's F and by may its warm too hot depended on what time of the day it is. A big deal here is when the temp will reach 100 degrees F in Phoenix some times it is late May, By June it is almost allwise above 100 F every day for the high Temp. June is by far the Hottest mounth because the humidity is around 0, or even 10 F dew point. That mean dew will only sublimate out of the air onto a very cold thing. Once the ice forms you can melt for liqued. By July its more humid and some coulds form thunder storms which help to cool the air and make it more nice. Though July has the most hot days because its highs are in the 100's all mounth, will June starts in the upper 90's.
The hottest Day was in july 1990 here with a temp of 122 F, Death valley gets higher temps because its lower in elevation below sea level -200 feet. While Phoenix is at 1095 ft at the salt river, my House is at 1200 ft.
But the hottest place in Arizona is Gila Bend, Bull Head city,Coolege, Flournce state pen, and Yuma. Bull Head city seats low at 500 ft in the colorado river valley and gets up to 120's to 130's, Coolege and Flournce is where hell comes to earth for Holidays highs in the 120's, and Gila Bend well is just the pits of hell no God fearing person goes there, one time I was there I thought that I saw a sun devil walk past me eating red hot candy.
Also Dust devils are a big problem ofthen they wipe up huge dust storms that block out the sun. "The wind is called Maranda and she is death" Also dieing thunder storm produce winds up to 75mph that ofthen cause roof damage, and wipe dust storms that run for hunderds of miles.
Any ways the summer is the best time to vist and enjoy the heat. Sure beats couldy days, tornados, and hurricanes.

#54 Re: Not So Free Chat » Political Potlock I » 2006-01-17 16:58:32

what should be done about Iran, or Persia as it should be called?
Invade them, or just really make them mad by sending a couple of air stricks at the iran leaders homes, or motor pool.

#55 Re: Not So Free Chat » What I Hate About The United States » 2006-01-17 16:55:05

I don't Hilary Clinton, she is a carpet bager from the Ar-Kassans river.
She just white trash from Arkannas, playing the big liberal senator from New York.
Also librals, immigrants, non english signs on the bus, How am I suppost to know what no armas, carncia, mercotdo,  or vivia la raza? Some times I feel like a stranger in my own country that I was born in. In Mexico every one has kown english, all the sign are in eglish for me. I feel right at home, they do this because they want me to spend my money there.
Also spanish channels on cable TV, why should I have to pay for it if I am not going to use it, radio all the english station are changing to spanish.
I hate spanish, many other people feel the same way. I think that we need a wall along the border to keep out the millions of ill legals alian that sneek into the US every year. Also deport the ill legals here along with there many many babies. We don't need them or want them here. How many people do you need to do yard work anyways.

For me winter has been mild, but it cooled down a little. Today the high is 62 degrees. I had to wear my jacket this morning, the low was near 32 degrees last night I hope my tomatoes plants din't frezze, my lettice and wheat where fine. 62 for a high is just too cold for me. Any thing under 90 degrees is cool for me. Its just right when it feels like your shoes are melting on the pavement. The pavement here in summer easly reaches 170 degrees, I rember burning my bare feet badly when I would play in the summer. Of course After that I always weared shoes outside of the house. One time in 1993 it reach 125 degrees five feet of the ground, the black paved rouds must of been close to 200 degrees that day, did not cool down below 100 degrees untile well after mid night. Durning the summer I do all out doors stuff like hiking or swiming at night. Only new commers are stupid enough to go buzzing up Squaw peak durning the mid day, anny wonder why we don't find so many dieing of heat strock alang the trail in the at sunset. If the were smart the would hike at sunset or late at night like I do. 100 people a year die from heat strok here in the hellmouth that is Phoenix in june. I rember one year in france like a 10,000 folks died from a heat wave in the 90's. That pretty weak if you ask me. Having lived though a couple of Arizona summers with out AC my self, They must have lacked heat surval skills. Like going to the mall its free and AC, the movies buy one ticket and go to as many movies as you like all day the movie theaters here ofther special deals for all day tickets $10. Drink water all day even you dont need it. Carry frozen water bottles every where, and ask for free water from businesses for free water cup, most people are happy to help a person in need of water. Public libarys are great, free AC, water shade, internet, and restrooms. The homeless people here set up shop at the libarys in the summer, thought they do tend to use the books papper for the rest room.
I know lots about how to live with heat, but as for winter cold I get frost bite from just thinking about it. Like durning newyears I was in New Mexico the place was cold, lows in the 20's bur. At T or C I saw a sign for some new space port. I asked the local if it was some joke but it true way out past the rio grande by the railroad they are setting it up. I also visted the malpies lava flow, riodussio, white sands, and Las crusie and their university, all togther a great state but too cold in winter for me. Also no snow on the mountians, many local skie areas just shut down, mild winter also mean a dry winter with no snow or rain. In Phoeinx it has not rained one drop in four mounths. The fire season this summer could bring hell to earth once again for the southwest US. Last summer a wild fire burned my favority mountain area, the new river mountains some 5500 feet tall with juniper woodlands and many spring burnt to the ground in the cave creek complex fire.
At least the Bradshaw mountains with their pine forest was spared. Check out Crown King it you ever go there. The town is a ghost town and has a saloon, church, and a general store that local summer homes help to support.  Any ways the weather in Arizona is dry and cool, what about your area?

I fear the Gods, as for us foolish mortals let be known that we try too get away with alot when the admins have there backs turned.
Also has any one seen the move Aeon Flux it was great, who would think that MTV would make a movie dealing with effects of long term human cloning. All with some really hot woman Aeon saving the day.

#58 Re: Not So Free Chat » Greetings, Dr. Bell » 2005-12-07 19:27:21

This Dr. Bell guy thinks the folks at newmars be crazy? Well it may be true for some of us that post here. If having a dream of living on mars makes me crazy then lock me up in the state crazy house. Dr. Bell says people post ideas with out backing up there ideas with math. Well I am not an math person and I cant really do those math problems. I know more about plants then he does so that make his ideas that is does not back up with complex botanical science stupid too.
Also one way trips to Mars, I can think of many people who would do it but I am not one of them. I am not for one way trips to mars.
Some real kooks are on late night radio, coast to coast. The quest on there of really far out ideas compare to here. As for math here I read many a post with math I had idea meant but it supported their ideas.
Where did this guy get his PHD, Florida ST? As for the L5 society all there members are professors of science publishing their papers for their work at their schools. Here at newmars most people are just post there ideas for fun and do not need to be held to the same standerds as professinal publish papper like for Nature mag.
As for Dr. Bell him self he should be happy that there are people at all that talking or even care about mars or space. Most people I met don't care and have no idea at all about these topics. He should instead of spreading playerhate, post his own well written math ideas to show us the way. Playerhate act will not get more people to learn about space, just scare way folk. Veiw us like kids at grade school, dont expect us to know how to be PHD type of work. Just be happy that we want to learn about the subject and give us helpful hints along the way.
FYI Trolls are the lowest forms of internet life. big_smile

To srmeaney: Mandarin has been taught in US schools for a long time, mostly in colleges but also in high schools. Did you see how many students were learning Mandarin in the artical 300 kids. Verse like 3000 for spanish in the state the artical in linked. Have you ever taken a forign lingo class. In my college it is manitory for my degree path, I am taken spanish 102 now. The thing is we dont really learn to speak spanish that well. Mostly just spanish grammer, there alaphbet is almost the same as english expect for the lettler K is not used. Once I am done with 101 though 104 I will quickly forget most of it any ways. Why because the liberals think that we need to know other cultures, bull In America English is all I will ever need to know and all those peayons from Mexico better learn english fast. It the same for the kids taken Mandarin, you only try to learn it if you are going to vist the country, or have a job where people speak that lingo and not english.
By the way lots of china's kids are learning english too, English has been the most important lingo in the world, and still is today. Looks like the first people on Mars will speak American english! English is the worlds most wildly learnt second lingo.
  Most non native english speakers live in India, Japan, and the republic of china "Taiwan". Question, why do you bash your own native tounge? You should be happy that there are so many fellow speakers and that you dont have to waste your time in spanish class like I do. No Mas, muy mal y me durmo en espanol class. Caul es tu lingo Ud. srymeany, muy simpactico es el New Mars e tu? Not the best spanish but I am trying, I am Trilingo I speak cannda A, canndain beer is fit for a king or the sink because it taste bad. FYI Asutrailen wine is bad too.
English is the lingo franka of the world, chew on that you mal-contemp from the south seas.

Final some one agrees with me, I aswise Knew that I was right in my Heart but the Peayons of this world alwise put me down when I say that the Earth is a sphere.
Anyways have you ever wanted to vist the moon and write your name in the dust or make dust angles, sound like the best reason to go back to the is to have fun.
I am Right! big_smile  tongue

#61 Re: Not So Free Chat » Political Potlock I » 2005-11-22 16:40:45

I dont trust what the BBC airs as the truth. Also as long as the person is not a US citzeen and is not in American territory. The US government can do what ever they want to that person. But with soliders in a time of war they have too treat them well, but there is no war it ended in Iraq long ago. There is no hostile Iraq government we liberated the peoples of Iraq. Now we are starting a new government in Iraq for the people to be free.
Its strange people go on and on about the war in Iraq, it ended all ready! What it is now is a control action as we start up the new Iraq government. The attacks are from outsiders who kill Iraq people alone with the US soliders. These outsiders dont want Iraq to be free, they want to start a islamic nation. These people are also not united to kick americans out of Iraq, they are many fraction getting there along awaited change to kill each other. For them they care about Iraq freedom or its people, its just their chance to blow them selfs about for islamic geehad and try to get some american ass well. There is no war, just malecomtemps.
Once Iraq government is up and running we can start to take american troops out, but not before they can handle it. Also I never belive polls, I can find a hunderd people that all think Bush is doing a great job me being one of crouse. Were did they do the poll? Goldengate park, time square, some liberal bathhouse in San Fransico.  Liberalism is just another form of durgs

#62 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » There is no Moon » 2005-11-22 12:30:48

If there is no moon,then whats that big shinny white thing in the night sky in orbit about the earth? Some think that the Earth Moonsystemisreally a double planet system that co orbits a point just a liitle bit off the earth surface. But since the earth is so much bigger than the moon its best to think of the moon as a moon rather than a fellow panet in a binary plant system. The moon is very large in proprotion to the other planeysand their moons. The Earth moon system is strange, the moon is also slowly increasing its orbit size. In time the moon will be so far away that it will have liitle tidel effect on the earth, and also will not stablize the earth axel tilt as well. The have have great changes in axel tilt like mars does from 23 degrees to 90 and back to ten degrees. Bad news for the people living on the in a long time.
Were do you get your info on these string being wacky? Have you been reading scientalagy books?

#63 Re: Not So Free Chat » Space Exploitation vs. Space Exploration » 2005-11-21 18:32:55

I think that the real big issue with in space exploration is manned or robotic exploration. Are view of exploration is still based on the 2nd ade of exploration. Man going to the poles fighting nature to plant a flag on some piece of ice that looks like all that other ice. But really it was more about self discover, facing the elements and just surving. Sitting in a small hut on the antiartic ice sheet during the long night alone what is their to discover. There is no plants, people or animals, just you discovering your inner mind. This transition from the second age to the thrid age also is like society went though after www1. Modernism art for the self expression, every thing is about us looking at us. In the second age we discovered every thing, nothing leth but are selfs. The big problem come when exploration goes into space, for the most part Man cant go there right now. Robots due great, but we still sea though the eyes of the 2nd age. We want Man to go there to experence it, but there is no other life their but us when we get there. Polar and ocean exploration mirrors space exploration. Once a Man gets there, nothing but rocks or ice to look at. On mars  there will be a Man siting in his hut wondering to him self great I am here! Gee lot at all the rocks, the air is unbreathable, A robot could of done the same science work for a lot less money, but I am here! I think that I will plant a flag, grab some rocks, look more wroth less rocks! Great its basalt Hey thats the same type of rock I could of easly found for free insead of the billions of dollars my nation spent to send to this woth less big rock called Mars! Great I got cancer all for some stupid rock that a robot could of sent back to earth.
But with are 2nd age model, wonderful man has gone to Mars, lets send colonist and terrafrom the planet so that we can breath the air! Cost billions, and the poor demand bread why dont they just eat cake. Shut up and let your nation fulfill its God given right to claim the solar system you stupid peayons!
We are so great look we sent man to the moon and mars! What the colonist died because of lack of food and breathable air, oh well they are heroes we morn them. Lets send some more!
  The two different views have merit, 1. robots cost less than people to go on missions to space, if the robot dies no big deal its a robot. Robots also need no food or water, only power which can got from sunlight.
But people inspire more the nation tax base more, and can get more funding. I would love to a Human go to Mars say the first words and first steps on mars instead of a human like robot. This is because we are all human and relate to other humans more than some robot. Final long term exploration on Mars would work better if you had people on Mars making robotic to chech it out. Also un like the Moon Mars has all the resource needed to support human life in plenty not just a little pacth of ice at the moons poles. Once people make a home on mars supply would not have to be sent from earth, just more people. But once there are people on Mars the baby human are sure to start poping out in 9 mounth or so. Human are reproductive and spread all about populate any place they live naturly. Unlike robots which need humans to make them.
The ideas of colonization and exploration come out of the 1st and second age of exploration, appalying the model of those age to the thrid age is not very smooth, but is duable on planets like mars that are close enough to earth envirnoment and has resources for people to live. But for places like jupitor, astorids, small moons, the model for of the past ofthen breaks. Their robots are best, but I feel that both people and robots should explore together. People are great for many thing  robots cant do, but were people cant go send robots.  On mars I thinks robots should go first and prepare the way for humans. Robots could make a base, fuel, food, air, water, all before the people get their. When they land all the have too do is to explore and not waste time making their base or gathering resources.
But thats my own strange idea people and robots working together in space each doing what they are best at doing, working for the betterment of Mankind!

Your crazy, Lay off the mind altering substances. Reality is such a great place to live unlike the crazy house. Try reading the the Good Book, stop smoking weed and reading crazy science cometbooks. Also only kittens play with strings, As a member of the church of Jesus Christ latterday saints LDS. I find reading the book of Mormon to get ride of crazy ideas of science out of my head. As soon as I get my thrid wife, I can go to heaven and rule a planet given to me by Jesus. "Just kidding I am not Mormon, you may think that sounds crazy. But I think you say there is no moon going around the earth is crazy too. At least the Mormons have faith in their ideas and a book. You on the other hand have no faith, and spout strange ideas that have no existence beyond your imagination. You call it science but it is faith and your Religion.
For me I would go with the Mormons ideas over yours, 1. Mormon girls are Hot, lots around to date, easy to pick up "just ask questions about the book of Mormon", like to produce lots of offspring, Get into to heaven easy. They just cant wait to convert you, "Joking again I just run into Mormons a lot, they make fun of them selfs of the thing I wrote about, They know its strange too but still enjoy their faith.  Any ways what was I saying off topic again!
Oh ya you got strange ideas, you should start your own faith, call it the Epsolon group and claim that the moon does not exist, make up stuff, make every one shave their heads and dance at airports shouting Kef-lom. The Fun cult
Her an idea, strings collected to from you but in another universe making you just a figment of my mind. These strings got tangle up like fishing wire or yarn by a playing kitten causing the universe to stop, gravity and time dont exist any more. We are just voices in the mind of some crazy person in another universe. When will the great Kitten stop playing with the cosmic yarn and getting it all tangle up! That cat going to end up at the inhuman society and destoryed if she does not grow up. God hates the foolishness of cute kittens, but keeps forgivening them.
lol  I can write crazy too if you let the vioce in my headed out, what thats Hary the bunny the elelphant wont share the carmal apples. Oh no it looks like another trip to the thunderdome  'two men enter one man lefts"  big_smile

Paris is burning, where is the military? Have the leaders of the roits been rounded up and public beheaded yet, The police are beening shot at. In America the police would break out the machine guns and put a lot of hurt on them. Nothing like been shot at to get the idea that its wrong to kill people, burn cars, schools, and churchs. If we burned down a islamic hodo center they would call us racistist, but when they do it, its call social justice? France used to be a strong nation but liberism has weaken it to the point were an islamic revelution has started. If the islamist get control of frace they will have nukes. The US will not stand for this and will yet again have too liberate france from a forign invader. It was France who stop the islamist from invading western Europe in the medevil time. Now they up and let them in to the point were they can take over.

270 million hard working people that have all the power in the world, best tech, and the most pretty too. 1/24th in world wide population big deal, when most of the people in the world are uneducated, poor, sick with many kinds of body and moral decay. China has more people big deal that does not mean they are more powerful. Most people in china are poor farmers not much better off than they were under feudualism. Also china has too feed all those people, china grows more food than any other nation other than the US but still has too import foods to feed its people. China gets most of its food from the good old USA, millions of tons of wheat, and corn is exported to china from us. I remeber once by the columbia river I saw about a dozen of cargo ships from china all filled with tons of wheat grown in America headed back to china. If china went to war it could face starvation, Terra Astrailes with its salty desert soils could never grow enough food for them. The Maura Darling has been used up, and envirnomentalist of stop the snowy river project from transporting water to western Asuzie lands.
America power comes from the land, food, minerals, people, and money.
China will never be are equal, and with the help of the CIA disbruting their economy china will have it tough.
America no push over weak liberal state like europe, 911 woke use to the fact that people  hate us because are ways are better than theirs, being the best allwise makes evryone hate you for loving you so much. Like miss America all women want to be like her but can't so they hate her. Hoping that she will fall and break her nose is just a pipe dream, just deal with the fact that you are a ulgy duck like china, and no amount of capitalism will fix your ulgy face.

srmeaney Hello from the God loving christian world, Christian a minority group? Christians world wide are the single largest faith group over one billion. In the western hemisphere almost every one is christian, so the U.S.A does not really fear becoming a minority. Also Why do you want to turn your back on your freinds for china? China trades more with america so why would they care about the folks down under.  The moon is open land with lots of space, I think china and america can both have little moon colonys with out fighting. Also china has a lot of socail problems to solve and as a socailist nation they have to solve them. Unlike the US were the poor can go to hell as far as we care. America has a better chance of getting to the moon first, we did it before. We are more ahead in tech, china has just a maned orbitor. The US was doing that 40 years ago, big deal!
America will get to the moon first and claim it as an international study area like Antarctica. So no single nation can claim it for it self.
America rocks you communist dog, why dont you move to china and see how wounderful it is. GWB for king of the world! 8)

#68 Re: Terraformation » Thoughts on producing an atmosphere on the Moon » 2005-11-03 15:14:24

srmeaney you are crazy to think China will take the moon from America! As soon as the first commie sum set foot on the moon the American people will demand that are government get to work and keep the moon for America.
Also Australia would side with its Anglishs brothers America, Cannada, Angland, and New zealand over and China commie sum. As a American I alwise thought of the fellow Anglic countrys of freinds. Also if Australia turned its back on a Anglish speaking country Americans would feel bad but it would have little effect on the US economy. China is also very dependent on the US for its developing economy, it would be unwise at this early stage to force America embargo on them. The US could easy force other countrys to embrgo china too. Chinas economy would be set back years, hurting their chances to get to the moon. America could easly just buy cheap goods from other developing countrys who would be more than happy to lick are boots clean. An economic embrgo would only hurt The US economy for a short time, we would just find new country to use. In a short time America would better than ever. But china closed off from the world would fall apart like the soviet Union did.
No China not powerful enough to show its cards, they of crouse don't mind waiting a 100 yrs, once their economy is powerful then it will make its move. China thinks that the US will decline like the rest of the west, since America still young it will take longer than Europe did. But with great leaders like GWB America wont be cowering for peace any time soon.
Also why did you bring by the US, China relation in a post about the moon? Please post that in the political forums. Also it a neat idea about amino acid air but please you dont have to blame America for every one of your troubles.
FYI America doing great, thats why you hate us so much. Why don't you just make another movie about crock hunters and shut up. I dont care about Asutralia, dont make Americans mad at you or we will liberate you like did to Iraq.
America is the Earth government, lick are boots or we will kick you like some stry dog. God Bless the USA! big_smile  and Germany, Chile, and Bangcock. The best places on Earth. wink

I saw serenity and liked it alot, it had good action, some funny jokes, and is one of the few good scifi movies to come out in years. It is better than star wars ep 1 and 2 and just as good as ep 3. The movie did alright at the bockoffice this opening weekend. I bet that the movie serenity will make more than enough money from DVD sales and international movie ticket sales to make a big profit.
I would really like to sea a more firefly movies, like what happened to star treck movies. Star treck too was a short lived TV show but went on to make many movies.
In serenity the movie is based in a really big solar system with hunderds of planets and moons all terraformed to be like the earth. Such a place would be a terraformer dream come true. I was thinking about it and such a solar system is possible. A large central star type F with 2 type G star in orbit, or two brown drawths. Such a system with star having many rocky and gas gaint planets could have have hunderds of moons and planets that could be terraformed. Triple star sytems exist, also we are learning that there are many types of solar systems so are own example of neatly spaced planets might not be common.
I know that some exoplanets solar system found have very large multi jupitor mass planets in stable orbit in the life zone of there stars. Such big world could have many earth or mars sized moons all easily terraformed.
Then these far off solar system are colonized due to there great distance from earth they will each become there own society and branch of ManKind. Each will be there own solar kingdom or empire, and other than old radio signals like tento 50 years old contact will be limited among the different star systems. But you guys knew that too. Any ways I like scifi that diferent from the star trecks or star war were every one just simple travels with FTL ships across the space. It just seems too good and easy way to get around the vastness of space.

It could be a couple of hunderd years before people go to Mars given are current pace of space exploration. In 13 years we could go back to the moon and do the same thing we did 36 years ago.

On my reality show where liberals are placed on a temperate island a large group of pople like  hunderd or so. But no fliming, just let them sit there for ten years or so. Then come backe and see what kind of society they have formed, will they stay true to there liberal freedom loving ideals? Or will they sink into so other form less PC like Kings, or fools? Like Lord of the flys, it would be neat to try it out on conservitives, or other groups.
Lord of the flys, 1984, and other books were the books that I liked the most reading when I in grade school. I thought that it would be neat to find out what kind of society would people would form when the rules of law no longer have power. Different age groups and races might form complelty different societys when lefth alone. I dont know what the ethics would be to let loose a bunch of kids on an temperate Island but it would be a great study. 50 male and 50 female about 8 to 10yrs old put on Island for 50 years. At that age humans can take care of them selfs, but there higher mental concepts have not developed. So they will not be ever so trained in thought, as older people are. They would develop in new way a society. But not based on are rules, or ethics.

Most of the worlds that I misspell is caused by typing the wrong key. Like typing an S instead of a A is common. In my mind I am spelling the word right, but when I type fast and dont look at the keys I something type the wrong number. I was taught how to type very fast but I like to take my time not to make misspell words.
If you do see the worng spelling it because I am in a hury.
     Anyways grammer aside, I was reading some were that Mars is heating up. The south polar caps grow smaller every year, could Mars have global warming all with out the help of evil Human polluting animals? This could be another Mars ice age forming. Once the CO2 in the polar cap all sublimes away I wounder how much air pressure it will add. Mars appears to be doing some of are planned terraforming work for us. If we wait too long to go to mars the planet might of all ready have terraformed it self. Then we wont be able to brag about terraforming.
An ice age Mars might be easy to settle because water from the poles will end up in larger areas mid lats. I think that Mars axel angle might be changing to face the sun more from todays 23 degrees to all the way to 90 degrees. Mars allwise will have wild changes in axel angle because it lacks a large moon like the earth to tame its wild axel spin changes.

I try to stay on subject by writing the word Mars in my post some where.
Yes soon all that cheap desert land by Yuma AZ will be near the expanded sea of cortez, but the imperal valley will flood too. Yes I want to go to a beach school but then sealevel would have to rise by a 1000ft.
I could not get into any good beach school because I failed the surfing exam part on the SAT, so I got sent to a land lock desert school with the only hope of global warming to bring the sea to me lol
Anyways the colour Grey has many shades of gray color now does it not?
Quercus grisea is very Grey indeed, but Quercus arizonica is not. Some botanical questions that may never be sloved.
Anyways does any know what the anacardiaceae is? with ouut look it up.

"You should also never announce that you are attending a "School of Liberal Arts and Sciences." That is the lowest level of the college structure, with Universities being next, and Institutions being at the top."
VTTFSH_T  I know that silly. Arizona State University or as it is called ASU for short is a university made up of many colleges one being the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, of which I am in the Sols "school of life sciences" of which I am in the Plant biology BA degree program. When you go to a University you have to declare your degree program and join a college with in the University. Bening a ASU student for me is a given, I said the college so that you could if you wanted too check out the program that I belong too.
If you go to a University you will too  have to join some college with in it that has your degree program you want to take, and when you tell people you sort of have tell them what college you belong too and your degree path that is just a given.
For example there are general University standerds that you met plus standerds that your college sets for your degree path. Also you can get kick out of your college yet still be part of the University. When talking about your degree path it just comes up what college you are a part of. Bring up waht college you are a part in a university is just part of being there.
"Why dont you just get a MA or PHD" because I first have to get a BA, a job then I can goe get a MA. Because grad level class are very hard and a lot more is expected from you. I dought that a 11th grader could handdle the work load, stress, and maturity need in grad school. I am sure you would due just fine in fresh man level classes for a BA. The class are just a little harder than high school, but as you move up from 100 to 200 to 300 to 400 level classes get harder and harder and you need all the lower level class learnings to get though.
Almost no one jumps from high school to a very specialized grad program.
For example high school bio class could never prepare for like grad work on resreach genetics. For example I am working on in my professor lab a report on Cylcocarya, due even know what the Juglandaceae means? So most people just cant jump right out of high school and go into grad school to get a MA, or PHD.
You thinking that you can proves that you are too proud and will fail, also making fun of some one is trying to get a BA. Most people in the world never go to college much less earn a degree form a good school. It shows that you are blind to the fact that college is hard even for smart people.
I will try for a MA once I get my BA in plant science, doing that does not make me dumb but rather smart. When you go to college will you try to get in to a grad program it will very because you have not proven your self in college yet. Thats why most get a BA is too prove that they can make it in college, were 50% drop out in the first 2yrs. Also getting a business degree? I want to work for the government as a ranger, or plant science studys which have nothing to due with business. Getting a degree in business would be a waste of my time.
Also I was joking about spelling, I write too fast and miss spelling misstakes I often dont have time to change them sorry not every one can be perfect.
Have good day too, and learn more about what degree you want to earn, read up on college degree programs. Don't just get a degree in business because every one esle does too.
