[View Quote] The human body isn't well suited for extremely long term zero-gravity exposure, but with proper maintenance, - like Bowen said - it's really quite adaptable.

I found this article that goes over some of the effects of weightlessness on the human body. Some don't sound too pleasant, if you ask me.

Maybe not, but being a boneless lump of jiggly stuff doesn't seem like too much fun to me ;O)

[View Quote] Bone's will retain enough density for your muscles to function in Zero-G. As long as
you move things around you can probably increase it. You won't be a blob, but you
certainly won't be able to stand up for a long time on Earth.

The Kyoto agreement was a farce. The US was required by that treaty to
reduce their nuclear weapons by almost half. And other countries in the
treaty were exempt from that. One reason we pulled out was because it
wasn't fair.

On oil. If it were really about oil, the US would have taken over the oil
fields a decade and some odd years ago. Try to justify the US not doing
that, and now, all of the sudden, the US wants to do that this time around.
It doesn't make any sense, especially if you consider the President this
time around is the former Bush's son.

Why do you have to try to find something negative in every thing the United
States does? What about your own country? What about the European Union
countries? Do you apply the same standard?

Should you not be held responsible for your comment? Perhaps you should
apologize? Wasn't that a tasteless joke that deserves an apology?

If I can go off on a tangent here...

The global warming is possibly more of a result of the shifting of the poles
about a decade ago and some degree of axial tilt than polution. Or they
could both be factors. There was a report released about a month ago that
said there was a molecule in the air that basically cleaned polution out of
the air. How convenient. Anyways, that is why if you live in Dallas, you
will see clear skies the day after a rain storm. Rain storms recharge the
air scrubber molecule. Can't remember the name of it, though. ":\

Fine. You post here when you find a Columbia doll for sale. I don't
remember anyone doing that for the Twin Towers.

No he should not apologize, and the European Union doesn't attack like that.

Ooo I write arrogant. :) I'm sorry if you see me as arrogant. But I don't
tolerate spin. What I do is I take the Bill O'Reilly approach. I look at
the facts, and call them as I see them. And I also call others to back up
their viewpoint. If you can present facts that are better than mine and say
something else, I will then adopt that position. So far I haven't seen any
facts worth my notice.

I also do not tolerate people twisting a memorial thread into a petty
political debate.

If you see my non-political posts, you see I'm actually quite nice. :)

Oh, so because the European Union as a viable political and military force
(which has happened only in recent years) not attacking any country exempts
them from being held accountable for any action they may take? I see a
double standard.

[View Quote] Oh, but they're planning on making an organized military. What's the point?

I could do without the "To stop US from attacking us" arguement. Europeans, of all
people, should know how much we try to help and not just take by conquest.

kyoto was about nuclear weapons ? i thought it was about emissions ....

and what about the rocket shield USA is building , its agianst a cold war
threaty made with russia , that they ended , one sided . dont start about
what the use of this rocket shield is , but the USA didnt care about what
others have to sya about it , and just give up on the agreement . what if
russia would try that , or like iraq that is accused of that , and bush is
threatening with war imadiately

Then discuss it in another thread! That is what I'm mad about.

Your opinions are your opinions however, and I can respect them. But I'll
give you my opinions, which are better, ;) j/k, where you put yours, and I
back those up with facts. Aggressively, if I have to do so to get my point
across.

Ok, before you made your decision, did you weigh the positives of a war with
Iraq against the negatives?

You are rather cold-blooded to criticize seven astronauts who just died, and
then twist the subject into criticism about an issue totally unrelated.
