Back to OP:

One of the problems with being the "Smartest" is that our children spend a massive time before they're able to reproduce/fight for themselves. 1/5 of our life span is spent helpless, or at least dependent. So we do 'pay' for our smarts.

my friend met a guy who told him that Canada was in the dark ages and we lived in igloos and had snow all year round, the funny part is they were standing on the shores of the detroit river, even funnier is detroit is north of windsor :)
Dude, that surprises you? As an Australian, I apparently sound like Steve Irwin, and go to school and in a Kangaroo!

If only I'd been drinking while reading this...it would have come out of my nose.

Very LOLworthy.

They actually banned a Looney Tunes episode called "Duck Dodgers" because it implied that Nuclear weapons could destroy the world.
Political correctness, and all.

1) once out of the gravitational pull of earth, there's no air to slow you down, so (in theory) you can accelerate exponentially, and (eventually) break lightspeed. SO, all they had to do was accelerate, not to lightspeed, but it got them there REALLY quick.
I am sorry but there is no way at all to break lightspeed it is physically impossible, according to relativity (I would explain why that is the case but I don't want to type a book and it would only confuse everyone). We have proven it by accelerating a particle to 99% of light speed and we could not get it all the way up to light speed, the particle just kept on increasing in mass (which was exactly what it should have done according to relativity).

Did you know just 20 nuclear warheads exploding in a close time-frame can kill the entire human race? Its very believable in my opinion. not from them exploding but the debris thrown up in the air unless its air-burst could block out the sun, killing the plants. which in turns fills the world with the dangerous gases we spew from respiration. And oxygen would then be sucked up with no exchange for more.

Well 99% can be rounded to 100% and we can make believe. Also have you ever thought of strapping a million heat resistance plastic rockets on a golf ball and trying that?

EDIT: Light has no mass, And a particle has mass, a very small amount but a amount all the same.

I know that, that's what makes my statement so hilariously outrageous.
But it's true, you know!

Thats why i'm for a missle defense system. Even if it costs a trill dollars I think human life living is worth whatever it takes.

Yer, but most Nukes are airburst because it causes the most destruction at ground level.

Also the most stupid thing i think people have ever believed was when War of the Worlds was broadcast in america. ho ho ho. Fools

Yeah I talked about that. But still with the rising strength of nukes big stuff can still happen.

You know what? I think this thread needs more arguments. So, without further ado,

0.999.... (i.e. stretching off into infinity) is exactly equal to 1.

Discuss.

People believe in stuff because they don't want to think about what would happen if they dont believe in it.

e.g. People believe in heaven because they don't want to believe that nothing happens to them when they die.

People don't believe in global warming because they don't want to believe that there lifestyles will kill everyone in less then 20 years

I can't really argue about that, I'm no math freak. but I think the funniest thing that people believe is "Get rich quick" schemes. I mean seriously. just because one dude made millions of dollars by selling land (and probly because he couldn't get a date lol) doesn't mean you can! First off: the market for anything depends on alot of stuff, where you live, the population, etc. second: you can't garuntee anyone will take your product like they took that dudes. Come on people, if you want money, get good grades in school and become a doctor or lawyer or something.

Another thing i dont get is horror movies. When i was like 8, i wouldn't watch them because i was scared, but the only reason i was scared is that i was young and i thought unreasonable things. Now i refuse to watch them because they bore me out of my mind. The plots that go with modern day films are just dumb. The only reason i ever watch anything like that, is just in case it's a slasher film, so i can see some mindless violence to calm me down after a long day :)
