    Any truth to Peak Oil being a myth?

    Is there any truth to Peak Oil being a myth? Skeptics are claiming that oil is not made from previously living matter and therefore shouldn’t be considered a fossil fuel. They mention the deepest fossils ever discovered have been no more than 16,000 feet yet we drill for oil in depths much...

    News What exactly is being contested about the 1967 borders?

    It makes sense that Israelis seeking a two state solution would not want their people on the opposite side of their barrier wall. I don’t see how you think that is a “sufficiently unreal” assertion. That’s arrogant, off topic, and argumentative. I’m to believe that your knowledge is so...

    News What exactly is being contested about the 1967 borders?

    I don’t understand what you are saying or what you want me to look for within that long article? I was quoting you simply to make it clear that my reply was based on your response. And essentially thanking you for clearing up where my misunderstanding was. You asked me for a link showing Bibi’s...

    News What exactly is being contested about the 1967 borders?

    I'm not able to find a link substantiating this claim; apparently this is where my misunderstanding lays. Subconsciously I must have concluded that Netanyahu sought a two-state solution consisting of Gaza and the West Bank, based on my knowledge of his recent statements to Congress and AIPAC...

    News What exactly is being contested about the 1967 borders?

    To clarify my original question, please let’s not get into the politics of the Palestinian/Israel conflict debating about who is right or wrong; but rather what is exactly being contested by Netanyahu in response to Obama’s recent policy stance where he states that a resolution should be based...

    News What exactly is being contested about the 1967 borders?

    I’m confused on what exactly is being contested. If I understand correctly, Netanyahu foresees a two state resolution with Palestine consisting of the West Bank and Gaza. I also understand that Netanyahu is in strict opposition to withdrawing to the 67’ borders. Since the 67’ borders separate...

    News Is the National Debt Really Driven at 174 Miles Per Hour by Obama?

    This YouTube clip analogously talks about the rate at which US Presidents increase the national debt in terms of miles per hour when driving a car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

    News Scoring the Presidential Debate #1: Winners, Kill Blows & Major Subjects

    In chess, tactics are short burst of strategy, often times loosing material before gaining it back. The US spent additional money by adding additional troops in hopes to gain material back in the form of reduced violence. What’s next? Stay the Course? Let’s assume that “Staying the Course” will...

    News Palin is probably the nation's leading energy expert - McCain

    Giuliani inferred that although McCain said “… anyone else in the United Sates” what he actually meant was “… any elected official in the United States” Isn’t it a more simple explanation to say that McCain exaggerated? Sort of like when he said Gov. Palin sells planes on Ebay for a a...

    News What are the Key Factors for Victory in the 2008 Presidential Election?

    Are Gallup and Rasmussen considered to be the most reliable and the least biased? Do some polls have a reputation of being bias? With Obama down by 10 points according to USAToday/Gallup Likely Voters Poll… doesn’t it seem like it would take an extreme circumstance to turn this around at this...

    News Did Sara Palin's Speech Turn the Election Around?

    No, I was summarizing a news blog I read on the Huffington Post. Well, to be honest I was inclined to believe it for two reasons. One, I want Obama to win. And two, Palin lied or severely twisted the truth in other parts of her speech so I figured she could be twisting the truth on this topic...

    News Did Sara Palin's Speech Turn the Election Around?

    Did you catch the part at beginning of her speech where she spoke of how special needs children would have a “…friend and an advocate in the White House.”? Which is contradictory of her record considering she cut the budget of Special Needs Programs in public schools by over 60%. Before...

    News Did Sara Palin's Speech Turn the Election Around?

    It is my understanding that Obama solely wrote the 2004 DNC Keynote Address… the one that catapulted him onto the national stage - as mentioned in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama under the subhead 2004 U.S. Senate campaign and also sited in this Time Magazine article...
