Lets Have a Space Day! (Science Talk Post)

chtierna says...

I have been thinking and it would be cool to have it on a significant date related to space. July 20th is the anniversary of the moon landing but maybe its a bit close, I havent been able to dig up any great space videos to kick the thing off with, and Im not sure how many are interested "Build it and they will come" indeed but I can't find the proper building material

Here are some important dates:

July 20, 1969 First Manned Moon Landing
August 20, 1977 Launh of Voyager 2 (yes! it was launched before Voyager 1)
September 5, 1977 Launch of Voyager 1
September 12, 1959 First Spacecraft to Impact on the Moon
September 15, 1968 First Moon Orbit
October 1, 1958 NASA is Born
October 4, 1957 First Artificial Satellite
October 4, 1959 First View of Moon's Far Side

Anyone have some great ideas on how to attract some attention to a space day? Build up some excitement?

Lawmaker shares hot tub w/naked 13 yr old..gets ovation/hugs

MaxWilder says...

Forgive me if somebody has already made this point, but I couldn't wade through all the comments implying this man was sick for his attraction to an underage girl.

Let us speak for a moment about nature. In the wild, female mammals will often mate and bear children the very first season they are able to do so. The fact that they have grown old enough to bear children is good enough for nature. If an 8 year old male animal was to mate with a 2 year old female, we would not call that male sick, depraved, and in need of treatment. We consider it natural, even though the male in this case is four times the female's age.

Human beings are animals. Granted, society has established extra terms of proper behavior that we have superimposed upon our animal nature, but the animal is there regardless. People tend to forget this. In regards to this discussion, it is perfectly natural for a male human to begin finding a female human attractive sexually when she begins to show secondary sexual characteristics. These include a widening of the hips, and enlargement of the breasts. The starts normally between age 8 and 13, usually around 10.

We can assume that this young woman had for five years been developing the traits that are specifically designed by evolution to arouse males' sexual interest.

Historically speaking, most of human history has seen young women married and starting families by their mid teens, the exact same age as the woman in this story. It is only for the past few decades that anybody has started seeing this practice as unconscionable or depraved. Remember the 1957 "scandal" when Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old third cousin. That was a scandal in the cities, but still fairly common in the country where the two were raised. If that had happened a few decades earlier, it wouldn't even have been a scandal in the cities.

Now our standards are different. For better or worse, we have decided that girls should have a few more years to mature before getting married. Of course everybody knows they are still having sex for the first time around 14-16 on average; but now they are not married, they are experimenting. And it is only appropriate, for some reason, for them to experiment with other kids near their own age.

I would heartily agree that Representative Garn may have broken laws here, and may be prosecuted for that without objection. However, I object to anyone who would imply that he needs psychological treatment, or that we can assume he has had other encounters with underage women. I would submit that any healthy male would be attracted to a pretty 15 year old girl, and that a little alcohol and some persuasion by the girl would easily get any man into this situation. And if you are going to use the word pedophile to describe a man who might be aroused by any female under the legal age of consent, then every heterosexual male on the planet is a pedophile.

But that is simply not the case. Pedophilia is defined as the persistent intense attraction to pre-pubescent children, or early pubescent children. And while we as a society have decided over the last hundred years or so to give women a few more years to mature before being "legal", nature takes a little longer to adapt.

Sorry for the length of this comment, but this is a pet peeve. Even though I would never touch a woman under 18 for a variety of legal and moral reasons, I find no purpose to denying the fact that some women under 18 are hella sexy. And dress and makeup styles are becoming more and more enticing at younger ages. It actually scares me a bit that one day I might theoretically be seduced by an underage girl and have my life ruined. A couple years ago I met a 16 year old girl who looked 22, and that was a shock. Men have been put on the sexual predator list for lesser offenses, and that pisses me off.

Glenn Beck Links Violent Gang Fight to Rise of Atheism

chicagojoe57 says...

Glenn Beck proves again that he has zero street knowledge

I have studied gangs for many years, and there isn't one statement in Glenn Beck's video that you can take for a fact. He states that the kid was killed with a railroad tye - totally false. Anyone with a half an ounce of street knowledge could guess that is a board off of a park bench. How many skinny gang bangers can swing a 100 lbs railroad tye? He states that this happened because we took prayer out of the public schools and off of money. Not even a nice try - Beck - the seed for gang violence was planted in the 40s and 50s. The Chicago gang - the Cornell Square Rebels - killed two people and beat up two Chicago Police Officers all before the year of 1959, when their was prayer in the public schools. A 1957 New York Times article listed the words used by gang members so parents could listen and see if their kids were involved in gang activity. Beck - a little research before making a commentary goes a long way.

It goes to prove that I have forgot more about gangs than Glenn Beck knows.


Have fun listening to nothing! A brain is a terrible thing to waste!

Air Force Denies Flyover - Fox News Blames Obama

evil_disco_man says...

Ugh, so much stupidity in this clip. Forgive me for ranting.

"Air Force and DoD policy prohibit support for events which appear to endorse, selectively benefit, or favor any special interest group, religious or ideological movement."

Sounds like a good policy and jdbates is right, they should've been enforcing that for the past 42 years.

Notice Fox labels this as a "patriotic rally" request (and later wonders, "Rally too 'Christian' in nature?"). Uh, the event is called the "God and Country" rally. This offended moron (Reverend Patrick Mahoney) from the Christian Defense Coalition goes on to say that these flyovers were not to promote or endorse any religion. Right.

THEN he says, "I think that we are wondering, when we look at President Obama, 'Is there a culture of hostility toward expressions of faith in the public square, particularly Christian?'" Oh golly gee, I thought this was just an innocent patriotic rally having nothing to do with any religion!

Now he's going to file a Freedom of Information Act request to "ensure that no American citizen/group is denied access to the public square because of their faith tradition." And repeats that over and over. What does that have to do with anything? When was anyone denied access to the public square? You couldn't get the Air Force to do a flyover for you. Boo-fucking-hoo.

And Gretchen is right, God is still on our money (has been since 1957). They should fix that.

She also has empty, blank, crazy bug-eyes that make my spine shiver.
