Unless you are also solving the broadcast electrical power problem, I don’t see this occuring. You’d wipe out your current in friction over the tens of thousands of miles of cabling necessary to transfer power across the EU that way.

I’m not even going to touch on the infeasability of using photovoltaic as the sole energy source for the entire country.

What global warmth?

There is global climate change, yes, but ‘global warmth’ is a myth. Some parts are warming, others are getting colder precisely because those ather parts are warming. Major ocean currents are shifting or shutting down and taking their heat transfer with them.

Weather in many places is becoming more extreme, not necessarilly warmer. We still don’t know what’s going to happen to the world’s weather systems in full; we have neither the computation power nor the necessary approximation algorithms to simulate climate change on a global scale at this present time.

If more people had bombs then they could defend themselves against the nutters with bombs. All bombings happen in bomb free areas where civilians don’t have bombs with which to defend themselves from bombers

Not the time

As far as I know chechens are chechens.
Seriously, ethnicity is not religion.

It’s not rocket science.

No, under the circumstances that they agree and show they will not get a job/be lazy and/or not put their education to use.

At my school of maybe ~1-3K people, at least 600 probably skip class/school on a daily basis, and don’t care. Think of all of the equipment/technology the school could’ve used had they not have to be forced to cram less teachers with more students.

I skipped school too, my class presence was 20% in 12 grade and that was when I was taking my studies seriously.

Yet I still passed with 68% marks.

So I am your foe then?

Rival will be a more appropriate term.

So everyone you don’t know and consider a friend is a rival…
That doesn’t seem like a very useful position to me.

Believe me, it is.
You don’t feel guilty when you turn on them.

I disagree. You don’t need to know someone or even consider him a friend to emphasize with him.
And why would you even turn on a random person in the first place?

Not random persons.
Co-workers, class fellows etc.
Keep a tight circle of friends and consider every one else a rival.

Welcome to the modern world, Wraymond. Most things done by those with political power are foolish, stupid, and/or self-serving.

There’s often very little sign of intelligence from the race in general. Eventually humanity’s antics will wind up doing irrepearable damage to the crust we’re living on. It’s just a matter of time.

Jeez you sound like poison ivy.

If you are going to contribute to a discussion Galdos, it would be nice if just once – even by accident – you got your basic facts right.

Life is still life, with or without a consciousness. Moss has no consciousness, yet it is still alive. Mould has no consciousness, yet it is still alive. A sponge has no consciousness, yet it is still alive, etc.

What you are trying to claim, I think, is that human life has no value if it does not possess a consciousness. However, your statements are so vague, it is impossible to determine what you are trying to say. Well, other than your usual bullshit of course.

That’s very easy to detect in most of your arguments to date.

I agree with him, if you are not a human and not my friend, your life has no value for me.

Yeah, therefore it’s OK to murder as many people as you can as long as they are not human and/or your friend.

Gen’us.

If you are not a human, you are not people.
If you are not my friend, then you are my foe.
Simple.

I did some background reading about this, and it was very illuminating. The dispute over Kashmir isn’t really about land at all, it’s about the leverage India gets from controlling so much of the water flowing through the Indus Valley. I had never realised the extent that Pakistan has to rely on the goodwill of India just to survive.

While I suppose we can take a little comfort from the fact that both sides have adhered to the terms of the treaty despite two intervening wars, it’s still a very worrying situation. With both countries facing increasing demands for water, it seems to be only a matter of time before things come to a head. If India ever did turn the taps off, I dont see that Pakistan would have any alternative but to threaten to drop the big one. It simply would’t have time to negotiate or wage a protracted conventional war. Lack of water could kill millions within days, certainly far more people than a nuclear bomb could be expected to kill.

India has managed to come to agreement with China and Bangladesh over water rights, so what’s making a more permanent agreement with Pakistan so difficult? Is it just old rivalries coming into play, or something else? I am struggling to understand how two countries with ambitions to become major world powers can be stupid enough to play games of brinkmanship in such a volatile region.

On Indian side, it is the far right that hinders the process and on Pakistani side, its Kashmir issue.
I really hope voilence erupts in kashmir on such a large scale that our govrn have to step in.

If Maqbool Bhut became a cause célèbre purely by chance, then I see no way to judge whether Afzal Guru will follow suit. Outside of their immediate area, these people are virtually unknown, and are very minor players in world affairs.

Reading your last post has left me wondering whether you would rather be talking about the Indus River dispute, and the possible consequences of two nuclear powers going to war over controlling water in the region.

Yes I am talking about Indus water treaty
I understand that they are minor players in world stage and they will have to take drastic measures to come in lime light .

An interesting subject, but I doubt you will get many takers. I need to ask some questions.

I know the conflict has been rumbling on for ever, but my knowledge of the personalities involved is marginally above nil. So I will have to ask you why Magbool Bhut became an icon when others were forgotten. Was it because of personal charisma or something else? You make no mention of China’s claim to have an interest in this area. Does their baleful presence have any real bearing on the situation, or are they just a sideshow to the main India/Pakistan standoff? And what’s the big deal about Kashmir anyway? This confrontation has been going on since partition, and yet it’s still unresolved. Kashmir seems to have little to offer in the way of natural resouces, so is it about strategic importance, national pride or something else?

Actually, that is something I’d like to second. Not to sound too naive, but, why not get along? Is the source of the issue really just religion, and clashes that result from the two differing creeds? Was there special treatment, or different government standards, regarding them? Did the split lead to major changes in government/religion?

I know a lot of islamic majority countries tend to keep state law/religious law pretty close. Is this the case in Pakistan?

First of all majority of kashmiris have supported pakistan in the past (I don’t know their current tenedencies), secondly, Five rivers flow from Kashmir and by virtue of an agreement called sindhtaas agreement, water of three of them is under pakistani control, but that is just in theory, India has been building dams on the rivers which are solely entitled to pakistan and if it succeeds, it can starve us.
So, it is a matter of survival for us.
I don’t know about India, may be just a matter of regional domination.
It has fought atleast one war with:-
Sirilanka
Bangladesh.
China.
Maldives
and three with
Pakistan
As for maqbool butt, he was at wrong place (for him) at right time, and he became a poster boy for struggle.
