I'm not saying anything for or against the global warming theories, mind you. That's not the subject of this question.

I would ask you to take a few minutes and read few of the questions and answers in this section and tell me if this isn't a prime example of "dumbing down."

Here are a few examples:

^Equates gravity and the roudness of the earth with global warming, condescending nature of question implies that he believes he is highly intelligent despite blatant lack of scientific knowledge.

^And what can I say about that one, really? For the love of God, let's turn off the tv and save the polar bears from our melting world!

If people don't support the war is one thing, it has nothing to do against Americans. People do suffer as they see other human beings suffering so they have to speak their minds.

I have 2 scars. One is a tiny keloid on my ear. Another one is a raised hypertropic scar (an inch long). It's really affecting me. I've become very self concious. I'm using Vitamin E oil and Cica Care silicone gel now. I'm still hoping to see results soon.

I've just started collecting and was wondering what sort of success people have had. At my place they can be put inside or on a balcony, which gets filtered sun but is not too intense.

this is a question about "how are you living?"

personally, some years ago, I would've definitely had a red-eye flight to hell. I wasn't living righ at all.
However, today, I am walking right and treating others fairly. I think, I could slide in through the SIDE doors of heaven! hehe. :):)

I have 150ml of solution from a student's experiment in producing H2SO4. The student used a variation of Glauber's method for producing a small amount of H2SO4. (burning sulfur & NaNO3 mix to oxidize sulfur into SO2. combining SO2 with air to form SO3, then bubbling the mixture into water. This is the 17th century method. No sweet vanadium catalyst required.

Question 1: He didn't have any NaNO3, so he substituted KNO3.
Am I right that this should still work? i.e. both oxidizers will oxidize sulfur to SO2 when burned?

Now the big question. How can I determine (chemically, electrically, numerologically -anything but orally or sexually :) ) whether this 150ml solution is dilute H2SO4, H2SO3, or a mix of both?

I know both chemicals have distinguishing physical properties (H2SO3 = on-your-*** sulfurous odor), but this is so diluted, none are apparent. All I have to go on is, it's 150ml of clear liquid with no odor and pH <1.

Thanks in advance.. Again.

I really need you to say a prayer & add this man to your prayer list at church. His name is Glenn Hines.

My mom's best friend had a heart attack about 5 months ago. He was in the hospital & had been asleep for almost 2 months when they decided to take the breathing tube off of him. When they did he kept breathing ok on his own but still had not woke up. He is a firm beleiver in God & his family would not even let a preacher come into the hospital to pray for him. The preacher came back again the following week & they let him in. 3 days later Glenn woke up! But he doesn't remember anything. The doctor said that he had extensive brain damage & that his brain had gone to long without oxygen. They have now moved him to a reahabilitation center almost 100 miles away from home...he can walk,talk,feed him self & everything anybody else could do except for remember. He even thinks the rehabilitation center is a new house he just bought. My mom called him one day & he didnt know who she was

how do you feel about the hijab (or haircovering)?

It is generally a very misunderstood concept and i'm wondering everyone's opinion on it. I'll be posting the reasons Muslimahs have for wearing it and the scripture behind it if you'd like to check back later.

Peace and Blessings,
Sakina
