Which wood type did you go for? Im pretty sure, after much research on this forum, that I want a Wychwood for my first vape but I cant decide on the wood type.

Ah that's my point exactly! There's also no way you can possibly know that there will be terrible consequences to GM food either. I should have thought that theres only a handful of leading scientists worldwide that are even really qualified to give an opinion on this based on the scientific...

Though, I think on the whole, despite the side-effects, people would rather have modern medicne than not. Though I think the argument is still valid, there are plenty of synthetic drugs that do a lot of good. I was trying to use examples of famous discoveries that have saved lives, as an...

Why does the fact that they are created and tested in a lab alarm you? Medicine is created in a lab. Many thousands of new chemicals and substances that have benefited humanity greatly have been created in a lab. I think you make a good point about DDT, that's why it is essential that trials...

I would be interested in seeing your evidence. It seems to me absurd that, given modern levels of scientific excellence in bioengireering you would think scientists incapable of increasing yeilds through genetic modification. In fact most of the arguments against GM I have read don't claim...

Its not the premise of the show that I find a cliche, i can enjoy genre movies/tv shows fine. Its more the characters and the dialogue. But I do like the show, I would have the same critisisms about most TV Drama. Its only truly exceptional shows like Mad Men and Sopranos that, i find, avoid...

I suppose if people really want GM food to be labeled, it should be. That said, I really think most food, could, and maybe ever should, be GM. So labeling might be a bit stupid in the not too distant future. We have an absolutely devastating food crisis on our planet, the global population...

Season one was good. The script and character development has always been a bit clichéd and rubbish, but the first season kept the zombies and the action coming at a good enough pace for it not to matter too much. Season two was awful. They didnt seem to realise that they can't write dialogue...

Andrew Sullivan has mad a really good post on his blog about the current state of the Republican party, and Fox news. http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/11/will-the-rights-fever-break-ctd-1.html His critisisms of the party have all the more weight, in my opinion, because he is a...

Apologies for the bump, I was gonna start a thread like this but I did a search first. I'm a huge fan of Russian literature and Tolstoy's last novel seems to me to be very underated. Although not really comparable to Anna Karenina or War and Peace, Resurrection is a novel that deserves to be...

I guess the only popular music I listen to now is Radiohead and Bob Dylan. I probably listen to Mozart about 90% of the time. Greatest genius the world has ever known imo. Truly the sound of the seraphim I have also listened to the Messiah oratorio a rediculous amount of times.

I suppose the problem with that would be that it would make US elections even more of a rich mans game than it already is. Without the backing of the party machinery for raising funds and organising rallies etc I think it would be completely impossible for anyone who isnt a millionaire to win...

Although, not a trader (though I am working on an algorithm for forex trading) I am a Soros fan too. Its really comforting to know that not all "masters of the universe" are without compassion for their fellow man. I think George Soros is a modern day Andrew Carnegie. In fact I think a lot of...

Is George Soros a pothead? According to this he "sunk millions into the Washington and Colorado campaigns"! http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/11/07/potheads-rejoice-marijuana-initiatives-pass-in-two-states.html I know he's a liberal, but it seems to me there would be few non-users...

I'm a Brit so feel free to tell me to mind my own business, but I do have a big interest in US politics. It seems to me that putting ideology to one side, Romney loosing was very important, due to the regular blatent lies he told during the campaign. Sure politicians always spin and stretch...
