Most of what I've seen on the illegals is they cross the border one way or another; often just walk across at a major city, then take up a job at their buddy's taco joint and don't go back.

All this talk about filling out forms and legal procedures, that's just not how these people think.

Got it. So you'd like to tell everyone about your agonizing history growing up in a catholic school. You'd like to skirt the issue of most "student run protests" really are designed by non-student agitators and always have been.

And none of this has anything to do with the injustice heaped on good Covington students, who were unfairly abused and attacked first by 2 groups at the event, and then by the media, including yourself.

You, like them, would like to barrage negatives on the Covington students. You'd like to point out all their faults. If it's not their fault, it's their schools' fault. They're ignorant drones. wearing MAGA hats. The schools are bad. There has to be some BAD there SOMEWHERE.

And you are on a mission to find it. Meanwhile you're ignoring, and even encouraging, the evil that's right in front of you, and us. The behavior of you, others of your persuasion, and the media toward the Covington students.

I think that's very unfair and hateful.


Of course you have not, you'd have to read something other than Pravda or the US media equivalents. They received hundreds of threats.

No, it's not a false assumption. It's exactly what happened, isn't it?

It does not matter. You look at the physics and get the answer, period.

No it does not but if you want to keep at it, please show your equations.

I don't have any interest in arguing with you if you don't understand something I said.

I don't see these things as any big deal whatsoever. If you picked a baptist high school, or a muslim high school, you'd have an identical or likely worse liturgy of complaints. Same with a public high school.

As for your laughable "student run protests" we know that many of them were organized and actually run by Russian communists, don't we?

What I said was that the vehicle would disintegrate.

You may know this community, but you have a way of looking at things that leads you to incorrect conclusions.

"Sex ed" is totally irrelevant to how people learn about sex. In fact school is largely irrelevant to the learning process, with certain exceptions. What you favor is cultural indoctrination, only you favor YOUR KIND OF IT WITH YOUR IDEAS.

The reason you don't like the Catholic process is because the kids were not indoctrinated with ideas similar to yours.

In the last two years there have been a large number of times schools and universities have let students off for days to engage in various kinds of protests, Covington is only unusual in that this is right wing. There's a rule set applied to right wing, it has to be harshly condemned. Another rule set applies to liberal protests, of course.

But with Covington your kind got caught red handed in their lies, exaggerations and totally made up crap.

By it's very definition, "Climate" is three successive ten year histories.

So suppose you have these decades. 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000.

Using statistics, you define climate for 1950-1979. You can then discuss "climate change" relating to the period 1960-1989. That's assuming you don't have cooked or slanted data.

By it's very nature, the effect and proof or lack of effect, and lack of proof, is HISTORICAL.

It's not "obvious for all to see." Quite the reverse.

What you are referring to is things like the hot day in August, when the media blitz talks about the "unprecedented heat wave." You are talking about propaganda, pure and simple.

5 minute?

That's not the US Southern Border, unless you live by a tiny outpost town like Columbo. Most crossings take hours to get across.

The MAGA hat isn't a "provocative political statement." It's a hat that was a trademark of the MAJORITY VOTE IN THE LAST ELECTION. The reaction to it was provocation, direct and simple.

It's not that complicated a problem.

Neither is it any kind of an important problem.

"Water ejected at the nosecone" would literally be exploding in the local environment, as measured by joules released per pound of high explosive versus joules absorbed by the water ejected. This explosion would create a back pressure wave against the spaceship, that will directly impact its surface. Because that wave's speed is higher than the speed of sound in stainless steel, the structures made of stainless will disintegrate.

It's not steam as you are thinking of it.

I was fortunate one time to see the plasma trail of a shuttle re entry, that was a white column across the sky about the size of the Moon east to west. It dissipated within a minute or two. That trail was disassociated atoms from the heat of re entry....

I've read that for automobiles, considerable study is done on whether a new proposed name offends anyone in any particular language. Because the cars are sold worldwide and nobody wants a car which has a name which is, say, "SHIT" in that language.

Should Nike pay attention in such a matter? Sure.

But how far? Here the objection is to a part of the phrase taken out of context and said to mean something different than intended. I'm curious what an average muslim would think of this matter.

So a lot of cultures have some big deal about showing the bottom of your shoes.

Given that I can see why they don't like god on the bottom of shoes.

But if you look at the video, they've singled out about the middle 1/2 of a phrase, basically a "V" and a "W", and say they don't like that.

So nothing should be offensive IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?

That's crazy.

The historical antecedent for this type of behavior was a pre-WW2 phenomena in Germany today called "brownshirts." The tactics and methods of the brownshirts pre-WW2 are EXACTLY what is being promulgated today. The MSM's Covington warping-of-the-story to meet the predetermined objectives is an excellent example, but only one of many.

For those who have not heard the term "brownshirt", here is Wikipedia's summary. Bolding is mine.

The Sturmabteilung....literally Storm Detachment, was the Nazi Party's original paramilitary. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Red Front Fighters League (Rotfrontkämpferbund) of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and intimidating Romanis, trade unionists, and, especially, Jews – for instance, during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.

The SA were also called the "Brownshirts" (Braunhemden) from the color of their uniform shirts, similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts. The SA developed pseudo-military titles for its members, with ranks that were later adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief amongst them the Schutzstaffel (SS), which originated as a branch of the SA before being separated. Brown-colored shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large number of them were cheaply available after World War I.....

It's called taking a basically shitty idea and exaggerating it so that everyone can see what a shitty idea it is.

I understood what you said exactly. I view Trump as a quite eccentric genius, and don't really care if a lot of people hear him say something that sounds like it comes from an IQ85 person, and think "that's him."

Well, the ability to talk to people at their own level is an ABILITY, not the PERSON. I can talk with/as if I was several dialects of English. So what.

I heard that story.

Because for the vehicle to slow down, it has to dissipate that heat. Musk wants to do exactly what you are guessing at. But take the total kinetic energy, and see how much water would be changed to steam to take up that amount of energy, and it's about 2000 tons of water.
