I think Atlantis was Greece itself.
Greece was highly advanced campared to her neighbours and when you look at the map it isnt far fetched to believe a giant flood had come from the Black sea into the sea af marmara and then consumed the mainland of greece leaving the Aegean sea and all the small ilands behind.
this would also be a good explanaition for the biblical event of the great flood.
but that is just my theory.

The point being,we hang a few tree-huggers & we can have $1.00 a gallon gas in three years.Fuck the middle east.

The oil shortage fear was implemented by the elite too strike fear into the common populace, to extort the masses at the pump, and to give the casual weekend conspiracy theorist something to chew on when he tries to figure out the middle east war.

Maybe you shouldn't talk to those people any more. I know plenty of people who refute textbook documented research with Wikipedia and Yahoo Answers, but that doesn't mean I can't ignore them.
Just think that they're the kind of people Natural Selection would handle, if it were in effect.

>>1502
Please explain, as I'm not certain on the finer details of HP and would like to know why this is fallacious.

1503

You talk to people through e-mail OP? I've never done such a thing other than brief conversation. Why talk through e-mail when you have instant messaging...

1502

>>1500

No no, I was mildly amused. But since I'm the OP it didn't overcome my residual rage, so I didn't lol.

As for accuracy, I have a great example there. It gets into physics a bit but the article on horsepower: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

This article keeps stating: an early-production BL Mini 850 cc (52 cu in) engine produced about 34 bhp (25.4 kW) at the flywheel, of which only 18.2 bhp (13.6 kW reached the driving wheels

That is utter bullshit and I can easily explain why in layman's terms if you want. But no matter how many intelligent people delete it from the article, some idiot keeps putting it back in.

Fair call.

So go look up 'conspiracy' on wikipedia.

A dictionary will tell you in cool, clinical terms that it's merely a group of people acting in unison to achieve a common goal. i.e. people conspiring.

The wiki on it is clearly slanted to add to the common brainwashing that 'conspiracy' = nut cases. It even talks about claiming those involved supposedly having super-human powers etc.

OP validated.

Am I the only one mildly amused by a citation of Wikipedia in reference to proving the fallacies of Wikipedia?

I genuinely hope this juxtaposition was intentional.

Critics of Wikipedia accuse it of systemic bias and inconsistencies (including undue weight given to popular culture),[10] and allege that it favors consensus over credentials in its editorial process.[11] Its reliability and accuracy are also targeted.[12]

I understand why you'd put that all up, I was kind of being a dick.

>>. I doubt there's a group of shadowy men in control
There's always shadowy men in the back...
Now something else in this thread move....

Here's the deal with fluoride and why most rational people with concerns over the stuff object to it:

1) The long term/unregulated dose quantities and what it does to biologic organisms over time. This is easy to research, and the quickest way to do so is to research what fluoride poisoning does to horses and cattle.

2) I don't discount the health benefits of natural trace fluorides in the diet, but we're not talking about naturally occurring trace amounts. We're talking about unregulated medication of the populace without control of the dosage administered, and the source sodium fluoride being industrial grade waste from the nuclear industry, in addition to additional fluoride exposure via phosphate fertilizers used in growing our food supplies and its accumulation in our food as well as toothpastes, etc. Where is the line, why is it not regulated, and why doesn't anybody care if most of the public is exceeding what's considered a safe dosage?

3) Why is unregulated dosages of sodium fluoride being pressed out into the public water supply when studies showing its effectiveness at preventing tooth decay are nebulous at best, and the leading cause of tooth decay comes down to the diet a person is raised on during their childhood and the overall exposures to acidic foods?

4) Why do proponents of sodium fluoride usage always gloss over its usage as a means of chemical sterilization and its abilities to make people more docile when administered? You always hear it's for the teeth, but fluoride usage didn't start throughout the civilized world until after WWII, and coincidentally after the Germans were caught using fluoridated water as a means of control in their prison camps.

Ok, out of curiosity what exactly will happen to me as someone who drinks tap water and has for the past 25 years? I can't help but think that if tap water was so incredibly dangerous to the point of being poisonous than my immediate community (who overall drink tap water because the bottled stuff is too damned expensive) would all be exhibiting similar medical problems. Not that I don't enjoy watching two groups of people who likely are NOT biochemists discussing biochemistry but if we all just put our ideological guns down for a moment we would probably see things a bit more clearly. You're both (at least partially) right though, there are a number of very good reasons not to consume aspartame, it tasting like shit being a few down on the list.

Since this is the conspiracy board, I have some counter-speculation to the "tap water vs bottled water" argument. It is in fact a subtle attempt by Coca Cola (and other companies who profit by bottling water) to install a self imposed privatization on the most basic of human necessities. There are plenty of places on earth which genuinely don't have clean running water and were actually pretty lucky given what we have (we can even filter it once more after it leaves the tap). Yes, we could raise complaints about whatever the 10 parts per millions are (or whatever the figures are in your geographical area) and if that improves the quality of the filtration process than that's great. However, I've yet to see anyone drop dead from trace amounts of fluoride in their drinking water.

The ring of fire is where one tectonic plate slides under another. The plate on top will bend up until it cracks. The cracking of plates cause the type of earthquake that occurs on plates. The grinding between plates cause the other type of earthquake that occurs on fault line.

The atmosphere circulates. The oceans circulate. The molten core circulates. As the core circulates, the system moves the plates around. It gets more interesting once you factor in the tidal forces of the Moon and Sun.

Your ranting is invalid without examples
