@cssftw Because if there is a god, it took him/her/it a good 13.75 ± 0.15 billion years to get it right (If you consider humans to be "right", we dont even have wings!); must be a new definition of omnipotency that I haven't heard yet.

This the one you're looking for lotus?

The development of an accurate model is ridiculously hard due to the large number of systems and variables that are involved; the tilt of the earths axis; distribution of landmasses effecting approximate ocean heights around continents, solar input which, for all talk of cycles (and at last...

I tried the search function and the closest approximation I found was the carbon tax thread.

@Chemical Ali Scientists have noticed it, and most current models incorporate a "stable climate" ideal where addition of CO2 beyond these values is considered to cause "Climate Change". Again these are only the models and do not account for the lack of explained positive feedback, or the...

If you checked the links you would have seen the following: Human addition to "greenhouse gasses" contributes to approximately 0.28% of the total "greenhouse gasses" the worst offender being water vapour at approximately 95% (these figures vary from paper to paper with CO2 being credited with a...

I havent seen a human induced climate change debate on here, and given that it is under "current affairs" and possibly "politics" as well I thought I'd start the thread. A list of references and figures for those who may be interested (Some of these are biased one way or another) General...

Thanks you Azure; that thread had descended from a place of informed debate and questioning into a few people simply swearing at others for a lack of anything better to say. @Lentern if the rep mattered more to you than actually holding a discussion...

I wouldnt pick a year 12 text book; those things are pretty shit. I'd more point you towards some of Feynman's lectures, probably Quantum Electro Dynamics as a base line before these little religious people attempt to utilise aspects of physics they may or may not understand to justify that for...

Its funny how all he can do is make insulting comments as opposed to constructively adding to the discussion.

@Lentern If you wish to further discuss examples of corrupt democracies, perhaps Italy or Greece would be more to your flavour. I am still interested in your views on the tennancy laws.

Firstly; how do you differentiate between the economic gains due to the state and federal government's policies? If you want to discuss infrastructure take a look at cherrybrook, but yes it has been horribly underfunded. Also in the lead up to the last state election all the bus routes in...

Thanks I was unsure about the pluralisation :D

I was under the impression that Afghanistan was landlocked.

I dont see them lieing about their names or point of origin; so they would be processed relatively quickly and ascertained to be "real" refugees. But I was under the impression we were discussing the Afghan "Asylum Seekers".

Again I ask; so how did they get to Indonesia without passports, surely they would have been detained on the way?

@Mrs Thatcher I live in Sydney; and lets analyse this. 16 years of economic growth is hardly related to a state government, but lets look at some of their implemented policies. 40% of total in management tax for people who are disabled and claim the state as their ward. (So 40% of the money from...

@cheese Mrs Thatcher here contested that democracy is a counter to corruption; as you have just demonstrated even in a democratic society corruption is rife. Ergo democracy is not a counter to corruption.
