Why do people insist on opposition and differences than on cooperation and similarities?

Because it is our differences that divide us, not our similarities. I have never known two different people learn to get along who have no confronted their differences headon and worked something out. If people would stop pretending that differences didn't exist and just confront them headon I think we would soon have a world free of nearly all conflict. People are too eager to just brush their differences under the rug now adays, and then they come back to bite them in :daisy: later. I agree that most differences are small enough that they should not divide people (race, ethnicity, etc) and should not be a focus, but there are some differences that WILL cause divides if they are NOT confronted. (and probably even if they are, but at least then you are being honest with yourself and others, and can at least agree to live seperately and in peace)

I frankly must reject the idea that a world where everybody confronts each other over every difference could possibly be world free of conflict.

I did not say every difference though, I said the important ones that divide us. And I did not say confront each other, I said confront the differences.
Let me give you an example. A mate of mine and I where I worked found out that we had big differences. He loved to play loud (and frankly, obnoxious) music when we worked, and it drove me crazy, but he could not work without it. I decided to be positive and not say anything, but it got so bad that one day when it was really hot out and I was :daisy:ed because of something that had happened to me earlier in the day, I snapped at him and asked him to turn his music down. He turned it off and we went on working. For the next few days we worked side-by-side and he did not play his music at all, but there was a lot of tension in the air. I finally got up the nerve to apologize, and this time he snapped at me. :P Finally one day we sat down and talked about it, and I explained to him why it aggrevated me so much, and that I did not mean to make him angry. In the end we ended up making a CD with a mix of songs that each of us liked. :P

(I know it may sound silly getting that angry over music, but when you are out there digging in 90 degree weather all day offensive music can really work on you, esp after you have been subjected to it for days)

EDIT: and I think you are missing another point that some differences are such that they are impossible to ignore, because as long as they exist, they will keep driving people apart. Think of it this way, I am a really nice guy to be around, and really friendly, but I got this belief that everyone is destine to die and it is my job to make sure it happens. You could ignore that and focus on the positive, but seriously, as long as I am alive/still hold that belief, I am gonna kill people/try to kill people, and make peaceful living impossible.

Not so much harmful as it is an impediment to reproduction. The heat lowers your sperm count. Since most of us are not planning to conceive babies any-time soon, I daresay it is a positive thing. Who gave the idea it is harmful?

Be vary of common health knowledge. 90% of it is false. Cough syrup does not work, and neither do most vitamin supplements (depends on the vitamin), calcium supplements, and not to mention, nothing, not even Airborne(tm), can prevent cold (most commonly rhinovirus). Oh, and did I mention that getting cold and wet, sitting on cold cement or metal, or catching a draft is not at all harmful?? It has nothing to do with us getting sick.

Being cold weakens the immune system, so getting exposed to a disease while cold can make it more likely for symptoms to arise.

Vitamin supplements are useful, it's just that they don't come in all the hundreds of different forms that one finds in nature.

[Hooahguy]

[Aemilius Paulus]

No, you are mistaken. That is what I used to think long time ago, but it is not true. There is absolutely NO link whatsoever between cold temperatures and sickness. If anything, being exposed to cold actually strengthens you, as studies show. How the heck do you think soldiers in WWII and I went wet for days in trenches in freezing temperatures? Especially on the Eastern Front during autumn and spring. it was not resistance, believe me. The soldiers were common conscripts.

Even my biology teacher knows this, and she has a doctorate. It is common knowledge for anyone fairly educated she says, which is quite startling considering the incidence of this misconception. And heck, she is the most intelligent person I have met in my life. She is also my academic team (QuizBowl) coach, and it seems as if there is nothing that she does not know. Her previous academic teams had won at the US nationals twice and placed second thrice (!!). Not bad for such a relatively small town as Pensacola, FL (54,000 people).

It is not so much about the forms as it is the compounds the vitamins are found alongside in nature. Just as Vitamin D facilitates the absorption of Calcium, same happens with other vitamins and more complex organic compounds that act akin in a manner similar to enzymes (although the way they facilitate the absorption of vitamins could not be more different from enzymes)

Well my mom is a doctor too, so nyaa! :P

And about the trenches quote: it looked like you were saying that you YOURSELF have been in trenches (I get that you mean I as in 1, but it still looks funny; you should have said WWI and II, or the World Wars). Anyway, disease was a pretty huge problem in the trenches, although when you have so many other factors such as lice and rats, contaminated food and water, extreme crowding, and so on, it's probably pointless to talk about cold at all in that context.

[A Very Super Market]

Crowding is the main cause for disease spreading. We go inside when it is cold, thus being in closer proximity to others, and causing more sickness

[Aemilius Paulus]

Sorry to say, but that is absurd. I suppose you meant it to be that way however.

@desert: Your mother is wrong. What kind of doctor is she. I am not fabricating anything here. It has long been accented cold weather has nothing to do with sickness in higher academic and medical research circles. Might as well talk of foul vapours or alignment of planets... As for the trenches and foxholes example, first of all, I was referring more to WWII. Secondly, the disease that spread in trenches was anything but cold. Dysentery, diphtheria, pneumonia, Spanish flu, etc were definitely not rhinovirus.

[seireikhaan]

We had frosty flakes falling from the sky. Its march 31. Ridiculous.

Heck, I lived in Southern Russia and yet May snow was perfectly common. Now, June snow was the rare event. But it too happened.

[seireikhaan]

Southern Russia = STILL quite a bit north of Iowa

[A Very Super Market]

Canada is supposed to be snowy, but Vancouver is too close to the coast to have any snow except in Winter. Except once where it snowed in May.

My comment does seem ridiculous now that I look back, but it still makes sense. Obviously, if someone is already sick, and you are in a close enviroment with them, you'll likely get sick.

Edit: Iowa is probably along a similar latitude with Southern Russia.

And more time was spent in trenches in WWI anyway.

Latitude is irrelevant in this case, even though you are right. Not counting the Caucasus (which is made up of Autonomous Republics such as Ichkeria, Dagestan and Chechnya), the southernmost part of Russia is on the same level as Southern Canada. Southern Russia is quite warm actually. But I did not actually permanently reside there. I lived in Northern Russia. My grandparents were in Southern Russia. Close to Black Sea coast. That and the Caspian sea give Southern Russia a climate about equal to that of Iowa, if not milder. remember, wind patterns and proximity to sea have much larger influence on climate.

Atlanta, GA is searing hot in the summer and sometimes snowy in the winter. Pensacola is much less extreme, as is is right on the Gulf Coast and the water, having higher specific heat, regulates the environment more efficiently, stabilising it.

[desert]

I'm pretty sure you die within 1 minute (at most) from lack of air. And wouldn't you either freeze solid instantly or be flash-fried by heat from the sun?

[Hooahguy]

Atlanta, GA is searing hot in the summer and sometimes snowy in the winter.
are you crazy? its humid/hot as :daisy: during the summer, mild/chilly in the winter, and it only snowed more than .25 of an inch twice in like almost a decade.

[InsaneApache]

I'm pretty sure you die within 1 minute (at most) from lack of air. And wouldn't you either freeze solid instantly or be flash-fried by heat from the sun?

That's what I thought but interestingly because space is a vacuum there is no medium to radiate away your body heat. Also your body is robust enough to prevent your lungs from being sucked out, so to speak.

So that scene in 2001 where Dave Bowman blows his pods explosive bolts to re-enter the air lock is
plausible.

[desert]

That's strange. Why would you need a medium? The sun's heat travels fine without one.

Hypothetically, let's say you don't freeze or burn. It all comes down to how long you can hold your breath, which is probably around a minute. Maybe two if you are good.

[Aemilius Paulus]

How is it that you can live in space for nearly two minutes without a pressure suit?
Not more than one minute. And remember to make sure you get all the air out of your lungs. Or else you will pop like and overfilled water balloon. Space is vacuum; the almost-complete absence of matter. So there it has no temperature. There should be nothing surprising about you being able to survive in it.

And NO, desert, do NOT hold air in your lungs. Absolute worst you can do.



Edit: crap, I started writing the post, then had dinner and now other people beat me to it.

[InsaneApache]

How long can a human live unprotected in space?

If you don't try to hold your breath, exposure to space for half a minute or so is unlikely to produce permanent injury. Holding your breath is likely to damage your lungs, something scuba divers have to watch out for when ascending, and you'll have eardrum trouble if your Eustachian tubes are badly plugged up, but theory predicts -- and animal experiments confirm -- that otherwise, exposure to vacuum causes no immediate injury. You do not explode. Your blood does not boil. You do not freeze. You do not instantly lose consciousness.

Various minor problems (sunburn, possibly "the bends", certainly some [mild, reversible, painless] swelling of skin and underlying tissue) start after ten seconds or so. At some point you lose consciousness from lack of oxygen. Injuries accumulate. After perhaps one or two minutes, you're dying. The limits are not really known.

You do not explode and your blood does not boil because of the containing effect of your skin and circulatory system. You do not instantly freeze because, although the space environment is typically very cold, heat does not transfer away from a body quickly. Loss of consciousness occurs only after the body has depleted the supply of oxygen in the blood. If your skin is exposed to direct sunlight without any protection from its intense ultraviolet radiation, you can get a very bad sunburn.

At NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center (now renamed Johnson Space Center) we had a test subject accidentally exposed to a near vacuum (less than 1 psi) in an incident involving a leaking space suit in a vacuum chamber back in '65. He remained conscious for about 14 seconds, which is about the time it takes for O2 deprived blood to go from the lungs to the brain. The suit probably did not reach a hard vacuum, and we began repressurizing the chamber within 15 seconds. The subject regained consciousness at around 15,000 feet equivalent altitude. The subject later reported that he could feel and hear the air leaking out, and his last conscious memory was of the water on his tongue beginning to boil.

Aviation Week and Space Technology (02/13/95) printed a letter by Leonard Gordon which reported another vacuum-packed anecdote:

"The experiment of exposing an unpressurized hand to near vacuum for a significant time while the pilot went about his business occurred in real life on Aug. 16, 1960. Joe Kittinger, during his ascent to 102,800 ft (19.5 miles) in an open gondola, lost pressurization of his right hand. He decided to continue the mission, and the hand became painful and useless as you would expect. However, once back to lower altitudes following his record-breaking parachute jump, the hand returned to normal."

Well, you should have trouble with your lungs if you keep them filled with air. Your inner pressure will be too high. Of course, YOU will not pop, but there is a good chance your lungs will. That is what I have read. Zubrin.

Sorry to say desert, but you have not shown yourself to be especially knowledgeable in astronomy in this thread. Every one of your posts on space have been utterly wrong. Including this one. Temperature is the motion of molecules, how fast and how much they move and bounce off each other. The more and faster motion, the higher the temperature. When there is no matter larger and more than a single atom, then there is likewise no temperature.

Space is vacuum. You know better than to say vacuum has temperature. Space being cold is a common misconception, so I do not blame you, but at least learn now to save you future embarrasement. BTW, what is the highest science class you have taken?

Well, I was also going to mention that, but it was time for my evening 2K run and I could not make a lengthy lecture. Space is incredibly empty. For millions of square kilometres you will find no more than a single Hydrogen or even a Helium atom (the two most common elements in the Universe composing ~96% of all non-exotic matter. Those measly atoms are not enough to constitute temperature. Desert, think logically. You need not to be informed in sciences to know this. If space was as cold as you say, how is it that we can survive for almost a minute in it?? Such simple argument does not even need sources, SFTS.

Good Lord you guys. You are pathetic at science. I am a 15 year old. You two are surely older than me, is that not so? You have taken your Chemistry class. You know that temperature can only exists in matter. It is most certainly not absolute. What the heck do you think causes it?? The theory that heat is caused by special type of waves was abandoned in early 1900s. We all know it is the motion of molecules and atoms that causes it, so the lack of atoms means the lack of temperature. Without a medium to transfer the heat, your body will not cool in the vacuum. On the contrary, vacuum is THE best insulation in the world. Have you not ever heard of the vacuum thermoses? Very useful.

Do I have to source every single piece of obvious data as if you were preschoolers. Gah! Might as well learn a lesson: people here are rotten at science. And science/technology happens to be as large of an interest for me as history. Especially astronomy and chemistry, with astrophysics as well. That and my love of computers. Jeez you guys, just go ask your science professor/teacher tomorrow and they will tel you the same, unless they are complete imbeciles.

[desert]

Well, you wouldn't feel cold. Heat can only radiate from you then, if there are so few atoms around, and after the water boils and whatnot the heat loss would be small enough so that the body doesn't notice it. And then you die. Simple, right?

Also, I'll have you know that I once took a Space class where we all flew around in jetpacks. So I think I know what I'm talking about.

It is not a prefect insulator. Energy can and is transferred by countless means different from the classic atom-to-atom bashing. There is alpha, beta, gamma radiation. There are countless frequencies of waves that range from ultraviolet to radio, to microwave and to infrared. There are the photons, which are the ultimate riddle, being observed acting as both waves and particles. Then there is a whole plethora of various subatomic particles flying around. All of those things transfer energy and heat. Temperature itself can only change when there is contact with so meting.

Arghh, it is like talking to a wall :wall:. Do not just Google it. Use your noggin. You all should know what temperature is. The rest, I have already repeatedly stated. Space is technically cold because after a couple of thousand years, your body will cool down, given the density of loose particles is average. That is what that first source mentioned said. It said that it would take "very, very long amount of time to cool down". And we all know that for an astrophysicist the minimum "very, very long" could be is at the very least a hundred thousand years.

I am giving this up. Even if you are right, which is impossible, you people still know too little of basic mechanics of atoms and space, leading to outrageously inaccurate posts, such as a whole stack made by desert and AVSM. Seriously, so far, nothing they have mentioned was accurate. Thank goodness at least SFTS is not citing himself but looking his crap up. Looking up will not help, because you will get two types of results, ones that support me and ones that do not. This is due to the unique properties of space. Both are right. Short-term, space has no temperature. After drifting around and getting hit by stray atoms for a million years, you are going to be fully crystallised as your body temperature will drop due to contact with outside matter.

[a completely inoffensive name]

AP is right you guys, you all just need to use your brain, think for yourself and disregard all those articles you keep bringing up. mmk?


(thinks to myself) Totally worth it.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Guys...you ever go outside on a cold day, and then when the wind starts blowing suddenly you get a whole lot colder?

[a completely inoffensive name]

the...wind chill? yeah.

[miotas]

Hey be fair AP, it is possible, albeit incredibly unlikely, that they are right, everything in science is a theory, just because what you believe has, at this point in time, irrefutable evidence doesn't mean at some point someone may prove them right. Even gravity is a theory if you come down to it.

But i think you will have to concede that space, taken as a whole, is cold. Even though it will take a body thousands and thousands of years too cool down it is still cold. Although you are correct in saying that for all practical purposes, space in a specific area, in a short term period is without temperature.

but i don't think anyone stuck in space will be worrying that in 100,000 their body will finally reach 2.7K they would be more concerned about a distinct lack of oxygen.

Relax, miotas, he's a good guy. Just strike it from your mind that he was formerly called "Mike Hunt" and you'll feel much better about him.

Anyways, AP, man. Is it that difficult for you to try being a little polite? I mean, common! You're burning everyone in this thread. Try acting like a proper scholar for once and not an immature child; be polite. You'll never become the .Org moderator that you want to be acting like you are now.

[miotas]

Hey, what? I only just noticed, AP's only 15?

Well bugger me, I must say that I'm quite impressed, I'm only a young bloke meself at 20 but 5 years ago I defiantly wouldn't have had the level maturity you display most of the time. In fact the only times I've really seen you act immaturely is when Methuselah gets you riled up.

I use to be lactose intolerant when I was younger; I'd get horrible stomach-aches.

Last year, after losing a bet, I was forced to drink a large glass of milk, and felt no side-effects. Ever since, I have been having milk with my cereal for breakfast (which isn't too often) and suffer no ill effects. I guess I grew out of it.

And yeah, why do you hate passover, Hooah? It's an important religious holiday. You should be proud to celebrate it.

If someone were to claim they had some sort of arsenic-flavoured candy... would anyone be willing to prove them wrong?

and if someone did taste it, how could they tell if it really tasted like arsenic?

Arsenic flavored lollipop, or lollipop with arsenic in it? In either case, I sure wouldn't!

Also, isn't arsenic tasteless?

I think so... and here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2007/sep/10/foodanddrink.jonhenley) is something my research came up with:

If you eat rice, and particularly - in a monstrous irony - the "healthy" brown variety, or the kind used in baby food, the answer is almost certainly yes. According to Andrew Meharg, professor of biogeochemistry at Aberdeen University and a world authority on one of the most notoriously poisonous elements known to man, 10% of rice found on British supermarket shelves and 30% of rice-based baby food contains levels of arsenic higher than would be allowed in China, which as the world's largest consumer of the staple has the strictest standards (Britain's were set in 1959).

Arsenic, many forms of which are relatively harmless, is present in vast numbers of foodstuffs, notably fish and seafoods. But it occurs in a deadlier form, and in high concentrations, in rice because the crop is grown in flooded fields: arsenic naturally present in the soil leaches into the irrigation water and is absorbed by the plants.

that reminds me:
back in 3rd grade our bus driver was named "chuck."

"How much chuck could chuck chuck chuck if chuck chuck could chuck chuck?"

say that 3 times fast.

Why is Michael Buble so happy and why is his music so infectiously good for housewife music?

If ignorance is bliss*, does that mean Hell is omniscience?

*I'm not saying this is true, actually I think its pretty easy to be ignorant and unhappy because of it.

Like when you don't know where the toilet is.

If a man comes along and sniffs a container, but recieves no smell or taste, does it mean that it had iocane powder in it rather than nothing.
