    Cost - effective website design/development software

    ha I've been doing sites for 10 years and will always use Wordpress from now on. I've had a few years in Bryce and many in PS, as well as you I can use pretty much every program out there. Still, wordpress will always win imo.

    Cost - effective website design/development software

    The best web solution for small business is to install Wordpress and buy a $40 theme off of Themeforest. Anything else is a waste of resources these days. You can PM me if you need help.

    Are you a potential slave owner?

    Don't detract from the seriousness of this thread... This is one of those times in a life where time stops and the universe smacks my unprepared face. I haven't responded, but it is only because I'm in deep thought. Thanks to Fraggle, Trooper, Dave, Read & Ado because I have much to consider...

    Are you a potential slave owner?

    If you had lived a few hundred ago, you were in the situation, what would you have done. Exported Africans and Indians to your plantation? What is the moral dilemma at play here. If you didn't do anything you could not be an activist and just sit back. If you hired slaves at least you could...

    Humans may have helped the decline of rainforests

    It's a good point Billy. For some reasons Americans like jungle people more than desert people though. If I may go more into the dam project and why it might not be beneficial, let me just quote this book I read yesterday Our Ecological Footprint: Mathis Wackernagel & William Rees I found...

    Energy from undersea pressure

    Hi guys, I was on a long train trip recently and was trying to think up a unique solution to energy on the island I hail from. We are very near the deepest trench in the world, and I can even swim to the drop-off where you are looking at reef and in an instant staring into 5000+ foot abyss...

    Would you be a cannibal if you ate an animal that ate a human?

    To be explicit - the millions of human bodies burnt and their remains end up on the bottom of the Ganges where they are eaten by crabs that grow fat. Those big crabs are caught and eaten. This is probably the grandest and oldest "cannibalism" you describe in the OP on earth.

    When is lethal force acceptable?

    The law tells you to do that for very general reasons. As an individual I would never assume the guy breaking into my house just wants a few bucks. That is just so naive it's hard to comprehend anyone taking that stance. I lol'd imagining you with a girlfriend just now. "Someone's trying to...

    How is he still living and conscious?

    CptBork, I got the same sort of feeling looking at that poor kid. He doesn't look overjoyed to still be alive. Wretched video, damned war.

    Do soldiers need to piss and shit in battlefield?

    I'm from 100% humidity too, but only shower once a day. I might go for a rinse or two in addition given the luxury, and if conditions arise to do so. However 5 times is extreme, and if you're soaping up too you are at risk of killing your skin.

    Would you be a cannibal if you ate an animal that ate a human?

    I thought this thread would be about those big fleshy crabs that live on the bottom of the Ganges. KilljoyKlown, travel to India and eat some Ganges crab. Try not to get real sick though :)

    Humans may have helped the decline of rainforests

    Ah yes, we were never worried about authorities where I was. I was far enough off the beaten path. Burning was more for efficiency than anything else, as we could convert acres into farm at the same time. I'm sure you've heard about the big dam project under works. I wonder your opinion on...

    Humans may have helped the decline of rainforests

    I helped indigenous people slash and burn large areas of rainforest just so that they could afford electricity. Every year around festival time the families with land chop down 20-30 trees just so they can afford to go to the festival. Owning land with trees is like having money in the bank...

    Ketamine: Quick Fix for Severe Depression? AKA Special K club drug

    More Ketamine is produced in my area than anywhere else in the world, and every year tons go missing off the radar - to find their way into clubs and KTVs especially designed to give businessmen a good time on the drug. The last time I did it I was on the stage of some club dancing. It must...

    Is Feng Shui a scientific discipline based on the analysis of energy?

    There are good interior designers and bad ones. The good ones do make you feel better. People who believe Feng Shui works do think they're increasing the value of their living... placebo or not it works. We do not notice it much, but our surroundings have profound effects on mood I believe...
