Oh, come now. I myself could point to not fewer than three criticisms of Israel I have made, which are not based on documented fact :twisted: I have to be away for a couple of days. I will attempt to give serious consideration to anything posted here in the meanwhile. Free speech is a pillar of mora...

Then again, maybe I'm off the mark. Perhaps I am mistaken in liking the world to continue --after all, the Bible, in James 4:4, says, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy ...

Censor again you never answered if you are an Anti-GMO fundy :) Is that directed at me? Yes, I oppose GMO's. As would any sane person, after learning of the work of Arpad Pusztai . I also oppose all the destruction of the U.S. Constitution which has occurred in the wake of 911. I also oppose bankst...

One question, before this thread gets disappeared:

In what country is the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum server, physically located? Specifically, is it in one of the 14 nations which have it a crime to question received wisdom (read: "imposed belief")?

It appeared; I checked, both when online and off. jpreps posted a response. And then the thread vanished.

Tomorrow morning I will re-post the link which I wish to draw attention to.

And then we will see if anonymous censorship rules the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum.

Would the moderator care to explain the censorship?

Instance of censorship noted. What is the justification?

:lol: Notice on the left-hand page, just above the middle, where U-235 produces on average 2.5 neutrons per fission, while Pu-239 produces on average 3. This is the reason why Reactor #3 used "MOX" ( M ixed OX ides) fuel --mixed uranium and plutonium oxides. "Souping up" the uran...

Xenon-133, a radioactive gas which I believe decays through radon on its way to a stable isotope of something like lead...is trapped within the fuel rods until they are broken open... Actually not trapped; isotopes of xenon and krypton are collected and periodically released to the atmosphere in th...

I just discovered the case of Jeff Baron, software developer in Texas, and so must report that "due process of law" in America nowadays is hardly fitting of the name. The truly astounding facet of this case is that it isn't even a criminal one, merely civil. Mr. Baron has been hounded out ...

Two attacks by Great Whites in Oregon in the past week

No injuries, and the first surfer will get to tell his grandkids that he suddenly found himself standing on the back of the shark for a few seconds:

Hmm...there may be something to my hunch, that macroeconomic news is about to drive the overall stock market sharply lower. GE stock is falling on heavy volume this morning, contrary to the overall market which is rising. My GE puts are rising. My experience leads me to believe that technical analys...

This forum continues to amaze me........... I never would have guessed we had such knowledgeables Aitch :) Or such fools :oops: .

Perhaps large trading houses believe that political decisions and macroeconomic trends, however they may be quantified and foreknown (emphasis on the latter), trump the indications of simple forms of technical analysis.
