    Islam can dish it out, but can't take it

    I believe that fiction of any kind, is never sufficient justification for initiating violence or aggression against another. Unfortunately, we don't all agree about what is or is not fiction. I'd like humanity to focus on that problem for a while, just to see where that spiral goes.

    Islam can dish it out, but can't take it

    Indirect counts. But really, my point is that if you're capable of killing one of your own kind, then what you "can dish," has already exceeded what you "can take." If you are human, and you know how to circumvent the human defenses to permanently destroy it... then you also know another human...

    Islam can dish it out, but can't take it

    "____ can dish it out, but can't take it." I believe you'll find that the majority of possible answers to that, will be true. Most organisms cannot take what they are capable of dishing out. That's how killing works: you dish out more than the other organism can take, before encountering...

    Your CXA3590 Mission Should you Choose to Accept It !

    I haven't measured the temps, but my alpine 11 SEEMS to have performed adequately with a pair of cxa3070 Z4, each @~+/-1A+. It got a little warm to the touch, but there was only one time it ever felt "hot," and that was because i had the fan(s) unplugged for "a while," while i was messing with...

    Need help designing a DIY CREE set up

    i recall having been attracted to the Vero 29s, but i don't remember what convinced me to go with 2x 3070 instead of 3x Vero 29. Might have been something about efficiency, finding appropriate drivers... it's on these forums somewhere(?).

    Need help designing a DIY CREE set up

    honestly, i think it's a more dynamic, case by case thing. It comes down to whether your value of the extra dollars is an acceptable trade for your measurable gains... even if that ends up just being an irrational personal preference gratified, resulting in personal contentment. There's...

    Need help designing a DIY CREE set up

    you could make one in a reasonably short amount of time, by just looking at the 3070 datasheet. Hint: each color temp rating has different "top bin" codes. They're not binned "that way." ;) Nope. The only differences are a SLIGHT efficiency increase, expressed as slightly more light-power per...

    Are we living in the End Times?

    Nope. Mayans said nothing about "doom." A bunch of modern alarmists misinterpreted the actual findings and created an urban legend surrounding it.

    Are we living in the End Times?

    All times are "the end times." That's what it means to be "mortal." Our Times End.

    turning seawater into fuel for $3 a gallon?

    Can i? Yes, i "can." But... judging by the context, you are implying that some likely enforced regulation dictates that i may not grow a particular plant within an arbitrary proximity of a dispensary, at which said plants are dispensed. Arbitrary laws should not exist. I have no idea how those...

    turning seawater into fuel for $3 a gallon?

    Whether the tobacco regulations are correct, isn't really the point... maybe those need to change as well? But if you base another incorrect thing upon a previously incorrect thing, what else could be reasonably expected, but compound incorrectness? Which is exactly what we now have. And...

    turning seawater into fuel for $3 a gallon?

    ...why would 'the law' want to keep itself out of regulating a commodity in high demand? Of course the law wouldn't do anything to keep government... itself... out of a business it has deliberately established, and has killed millions, in order to sustain. But yeah, that's a cool idea, fuel...

    Soil Vs Hydro

    Did i say those systems don't exist? No. I just said i wasn't aware of them, and/or hadn't found one i thought was suitable, and invited anyone who may know of one that might suit my preference, to link it up. If such a thing exists, i would like to know. Also: not all assumptions are invalid...

    Republican States Blow

    Let's not forget the perhaps deliberate confusing of the terms. When i say i'm "liberal," i mean: i think people have a right to do whatever they want, as long as they refrain from taking a liberty which impinges that of another. When i say i'm "conservative," i mean: i want the least...

    Dont believe in Aliens? well explain this

    lol, the symbol i'd want next isn't available. I want the arrows from A, and the circle from B. I want the arrows on the top left, and the circle on the bottom right (and connected with a horizontal line, not a vertical one)... But, the only one of the choices which satisfies that, connects the...

    Republican States Blow

    Jindal is louisiana not mississippi. ^^ "...why is the GOP so bad at doing things that actually help their constituents?" ..."the left" are not their constituents. Their private interests are their constituents, but most of the people voting, don't realize a republican vote is NOT about "the...

    --THE BIBLE'S VIEW ON DREAM'S--

    How can a book "believe?" Books aren't alive or sentient. Books don't perceive. Everything is real... nothing is real. Nothing is as real as everything. Everything matters; nothing matters. Nothing matters as much as everything matters. Everything matters as much as nothing matters...

    Dont believe in Aliens? well explain this

    Of course. If aliens exist, somewhere out there, and evolved naturally in their own locale, then that's nature. Of course there's "a chance" aliens exist. There's more "chance they could exist" than i think most people realize. There's a whole lot of unexplored universe out there. "Unknown...
