  1. Thanks for your answers. Gob: Great. I'll send you a pm with my accountname and mailadress.
  2. There is a network in Sweden called No Person Is Illegal which has an idea/program that I partially agree to. (My English isn
  3. What happens if one changes the mailadress on the forum profile and misspell it? Is that profilename lost forever? I did this with my other forum profile and now I had to make a new one (this time I managed to spell the mailadress correctly).
  4. To show the risks? A partial core meltdown is more than serious, you can
  5. Well those were just a couple of later accidents. The Three Mile Island accident in the US in 1979 ultimately resulted in a partial core meltdown. I think this is the latest meltdown accident; if not counting Chernobyl, which of course is the worst nuclear power plant accident so far. Before 1979 there are several other meltdown accidents. Worth mentioning is also that electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor in the 1950
  6. I think the risks and problems with nuclear plants pretty much sums it up: Safety: No reactor in the world is inherently safe. All operational reactors have inherent safety flaws, which cannot be eliminated by safety upgrading. Highly radioactive spent fuel requires constant cooling. If this fails, it could lead to a catastrophic release of radioactivity. They are also highly vulnerable to deliberate acts of sabotage, including terrorist attack. Waste: From the moment uranium is mined nuclear waste on a massive scale is produced. The adverse environmental impacts of uranium mining are significant. There is also no secure, risk free way to store nuclear waste. No country in the world has a solution for high-level waste that stays radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. The least damaging option at this current time is for waste to be stored above ground, in dry storage at the site of origin, but this option also presents major challenges and the threats. Weapons proliferation: The possession of nuclear weapons by the US, Russia, France, the UK and China has encouraged the further proliferation of nuclear technology and materials. Every state that has a nuclear power capability, has the means to obtain nuclear material usable in a nuclear weapon. Basically this means that the 44 nuclear power states could become 44 nuclear weapons states. Many nations that have active commercial nuclear power programs, began their research with two objectives - electricity generation and the option to develop nuclear weapons. Also nuclear programs based on reprocessing plutonium from spent fuel have dramatically increased the risk of proliferation as the creation of more plutonium, means more nuclear waste which in turn means more materials available for the creation of dirty bombs. Also a few other examples of industrial nuclear incidents that highlight the world is never far away from the next nuclear catastrophe:
  7. Well I realize you will go on forever. The majority of your arguments are sentimental and aren
  8. "But I believe Muslims in general are deceived by a violent uncivil religion." And how is Christianity any better? - Between 4th-6th centuries, thousands of pagan believers were slain. And this was made possible by Christian authorities. - The estimated kills during the Christian Crusades between 1095-1291 are between 1-5 million people. - The witch hunts lead to several hundred thousand deaths. - Historians have found that as early as in the 4th and 5th centuries synagogues were burned by Christians. I'm guessing that you know your history and that you probably know that it most certainly didn’t end there. This list can go on and on. "Other than Algebra, which one could argue was not a Muslim-influenced invention (in other words, Algebra would have came out of paganism), the Middle East has given the world nothing. Zippo. The don't produce any manufactured goods. They don't have universities. They don't produce scientists...or engineers, or artists." This actually says a lot about how little you know of what you're talking about. "Europe, with its wide open "lets embrace the world" ideology is turning against itself as foolishness. Open wide the gates in the name of diversity, and see how a society is distentigrated from the inside. Last I heard the Netherlands at least wisened up and started locking down its immigration laws. Letting Mohammadans pour in unchecked into your borders is a cultural death sentence. Do you love your country? Do you value your culture? Then you have to control....with a tight grip...Islamic immigration. Countries in Europe have to start really locking down the ability of Muslims to immigrate. Eventually, if they do not, it will be too late because they will make up a percentage of the population too large to politically overcome." Have we been reading a little too much Eurabian literature? It seems you either already are, or could be, particularly fond of Bruce Bawer. The big question is also what cultures are we actually talking of defending here in Europe? Because this claim of defending “the culture”, “the country” or “the people” isn’t new, it’s so old and such a simple way of disregarding everything that is “different” or isn’t like “us”. And to be perfectly honest I think later authors like, the already mentioned, Bawer have had a better argument for the cause than you (even though his analysis and conclusions have no empirical grounds whatsoever). Also I would recommend you to read at least a little postcolonial theory, even though I guess that you won’t be interested and most certainly will disregard it as rubbish. Also worth to mention, cultures aren't static, as you try to make them. Cultures change over time, it always has done and it always will do. "Our culture" (whatever that means) will also change no matter what conservative people like yourself think of it.
  9. Hm last post 27th of may, seems like there are actually some people that still are playing this game. I need to find my old copy of dune2000 and start playing some sweet old 2vs2 games. Hopefully DRBII is still using his yahooaccount, then I have to bring him back too. I actually haven't played any games for the last 2 years, but with dune2000 I will sure start playing again. I wonder how much I will suck at this now. Probably a lot... Btw foxchica...is it really you? Well actually I suck at remembering names, so if I remember the name wrong you're probably asking yourself who the f this dude is and who the heck he thinks that you are, but if it really is you...then it's been way to long since I saw you!!! How long has it been? 3-4 years?
