Are we back to World War I, with Zeppelins sneaking over our cities to drop general nastiness? Balloons are slow, difficult to steer and so obvious that ordinary people are taking video footage of this thing with consumer equipment. If you're worried about EMP, a satellite in low Earth orbit would be a far quicker and stealthier delivery vehicle -- and would produce a more powerful EMP for var

The Church of Satan will certainly get it on the game and contribute a creative offering honoring their "god". Then there will be some from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and others from fans of H. P. Lovecraft. Time to make some popcorn before the fireworks start. CZ

Pollythinks, You strongly disagree with my sentiments about... what? I have expressed none on the subject of guns or gun laws. I just asked that we not discuss the topic here. Please don't. Thanks, CZ (admin)

Everybody, I know the mass shootings hurt. I know you want to vent. But the debates never go well and they distract from our main mission and topic. Please don't debate gun violence, gun laws, gun control or other similar gun topics here. As Brigham Young never said, "This is not the place." Thanks, CZ (admin)

It's not over yet. We still haven't gotten to our one year point of $2500, let alone our two year goal of $5000. As of this weekend we were at $1850. Thank you to all who have donated so far! For those of you who haven't donated yet, now is the time. If we don't reach our one year amount, we will end up doing another fundraiser in 9 months instead of 12. Please donate now if you can. Tha

Greetings fellow exmos! It has been a year since our last fund raiser and our account with the ISP has run dry, so it's time to do it again. I will admit: we hate to ask for money but the cost realities of hosting, bandwidth, etc. require us to occasionally request donations. The site costs about $2500/year to operate, and our goal this time around is to raise two years worth of funding or

CocaCola is indeed out, but the bigger news is that Pepsi is also out. They've officially been in Russia since 1972 and were actually the first foreign product sanctioned for sale in the Soviet Union.

Hi everybody, The moderation team has asked me how to handle discussion of the current crisis in Ukraine. Here's my answer: although that does veer into politics, it's a major world event and humanitarian disaster so I think our posters will need to talk about it. As long as people can be civil about it and avoid party politics, then you are free to discuss Russia's attack on Ukraine. You a

The problem with pointing out correlations that agree with your hypothesis is that, even if your sample of cultures is statistically sound, correlation is not causation. We would have to examine confounding factors such as the relative socioeconomic levels of the compared cultures, as well as the variances in socioeconomic levels within each of the compared cultures.
