Yessss indeedee. I dont see any reason for such a large scale attack happening randomly. Unless it was the aforementioned war. But yeah, just curious.

Even if you had said war, it would be closer to 50 to a side than 100...

Yo yo yo yo! ;D Whats uuuuuupppp... Crazy that this site is dead I was somewhat confident that Orion would bring it back? So are we free to talk about anything in this thread then or what? If so then man I am sooo pissed about Global Warming, it seems as if there are so many ideas coming out now to "save us" and all the major world leaders had to do was say we might not make it... Jeez do you know that if we had incorporated just half of these ideas like 20 years ago we wouldn't be in this situation....No carbon footprint at all....

Why do you assume that our "carbon foot print" it causing global warming? You have no evidence that if we implemented unnamed plans to reduce polution that we would not be experiencing climate change.
What makes climate change bad? The worlds climate had been changing long before people were use as much fossil fuels. In the middle ages it was normal for the temperatures to vary wildly from decade to decade. Our current temperatures are considerably more stable.
We have had an ice age, what makes a global heat wave any different?
Doing anything to prevent global cooling destroys as many potential enviroments as it saves. The only thing you are doing is picking which species to let flourish and which to let perish. Those more adapted to warmer temperatures will do better, those more adapted to colder temperatures will do worse. The opposite will happening if you cause the world to cool down.
If raising the temperature (no proof that we have, only correlations) is bad, then so is lowering the temperature. Your logic implies that the temperature is perfect as it was 20 years ago. This is not true as before mankind the temperature fluctuated wildly.
It is immoral to cause the temperature to increase as it is to lower it or keep it the same. All of them derive their immorality from the assumption that mankind altering the planet is immoral. As such, the only way to avoid such things to remove all traces of our existence from the planet.
While I do believe that we should be producing less polution, and I consider myself an enviromentalist, that doesn't mean that what you are saying is correct, or the plans you allude to are any good. The best, most efficient, and method we could realistically put into use in the near future is nuclear power.
Wind damages enviroments more. Production os solar cells produces about as much hazardous waste as nuclear, but generates less energy, thus causing more pollution for the same amount of energy. Fossil fuels are efficient and highly polluting.
The only thing one should realistically expect to happen is for machines that use fossil fuels to become more efficient as the price of oil goes up. Eventually the costs will be prohibitive and we will switch to something else.
On another note, the best thing you could do would be to buy LED lightbulbs for your household fixtures. They are more expensive, but will never wear out and use far less energy than flourescent.

Global warming is a bunch of BS. Im too tired right now to back myself up, but basicly I agree with stolide.

No entirely bs, the earth has gotten warmer over the past few decades. That does not mean any of the other claims about it are true though...

Sorry I was tired. What I meant was the threat of such as what the media is reporting is BS. Anyways. . . We should seriously throw a seminar or something here. Try and get everyone on. Maybe just "in-forum" to discuss the deadness. Or "out-of-forum" to bring awareness to the site and hopefully get some fresh blood that will stay and get this place hopping again. Thoughts? Ideas?

It should be a discussion about something people will want to hear about. Advertising a chat session about how the site is dead will get no one... (Almost)
Advertising a chat session about something most people don't know about in psionics or really any paradigm of magick, although prefferably energy manipulation, will get the attention of considerably more people.

Alright I will agree with ya on that one. What should we talk about? Psiballs? hahaha just kiddin. Psi-yoyos. Fo sho!
But no. What about sentient constructs? Thats always popular. Or reality manipulation?
We could even do a couple seminars for different skill levels or something.

If it is at a time that works for me, I'd be wiling to do one on reality manipulation and sapient constructs. At the start of the class i'll ask which people want me to do first.

Heh. I'm not particularly athletic. I can lift a fair amount though. I picked up a friend who weighs something on the order of 350 pounds. I also suck at running over anything but a short distance.
That date will work for me I believe.
