The discussion explores various thought-provoking and humorous ideas from both real and fictional contexts, particularly focusing on political concepts and sci-fi scenarios. One notable idea is from a "Doctor Who" episode featuring a planet governed by an elected dictator who faces immediate vaporization if voted out, raising questions about accountability in leadership. The conversation also touches on sci-fi themes, such as alien life forms and their destructive tendencies, and innovative concepts like the pneumatic bag landing systems used on Mars and the potential of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Participants share their own inventive ideas, including a unique variable gear system for cars and various weapon designs, while also discussing the efficiency and design of the Ekranoplan, a massive Russian ground effect vehicle. The thread highlights a blend of humor, creativity, and critical thinking about technology and governance, while also veering into light-hearted banter and personal anecdotes.

Just want to make sure you guys let me over the border in the future... :-p So what color is the doggie suit?
I went with the charcoal. Better for sneaki... I mean... uh... it's more aesthetically pleasing.

You'll have no trouble crossing the border this way. Escaping again might not be so easy. :-p

I link therefore I am.


I despise Descartes with a passion matched only by my despise for socialists. He commits a very serious logical error by assuming that the very issue in question has already been proven(incidently, Marx and all socialists make a similar error)--twice, in that one statement. Although the second can be, for practical reasons considered trivial, the first cannot so easily be ignored.
