Is there any truth to Peak Oil being a myth? Skeptics are claiming that oil is not made from previously living matter and therefore shouldn’t be considered a fossil fuel. They mention the deepest fossils ever discovered have been no more than 16,000 feet yet we drill for oil in depths much...

One reason is that the 1948 borders were considered legal according to the UN - who drew them. Territories gained after 1967’s Six Day War (West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights, Sinia (given back to Egypt)) are considered illegal by the UN.

It makes sense that Israelis seeking a two state solution would not want their people on the opposite side of their barrier wall. I don’t see how you think that is a “sufficiently unreal” assertion. That’s arrogant, off topic, and argumentative. I’m to believe that your knowledge is so...

I don’t understand what you are saying or what you want me to look for within that long article? I was quoting you simply to make it clear that my reply was based on your response. And essentially thanking you for clearing up where my misunderstanding was. You asked me for a link showing Bibi’s...

I'm not able to find a link substantiating this claim; apparently this is where my misunderstanding lays. Subconsciously I must have concluded that Netanyahu sought a two-state solution consisting of Gaza and the West Bank, based on my knowledge of his recent statements to Congress and AIPAC...

To clarify my original question, please let’s not get into the politics of the Palestinian/Israel conflict debating about who is right or wrong; but rather what is exactly being contested by Netanyahu in response to Obama’s recent policy stance where he states that a resolution should be based...

I’m confused on what exactly is being contested. If I understand correctly, Netanyahu foresees a two state resolution with Palestine consisting of the West Bank and Gaza. I also understand that Netanyahu is in strict opposition to withdrawing to the 67’ borders. Since the 67’ borders separate...

This YouTube clip analogously talks about the rate at which US Presidents increase the national debt in terms of miles per hour when driving a car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

In chess, tactics are short burst of strategy, often times loosing material before gaining it back. The US spent additional money by adding additional troops in hopes to gain material back in the form of reduced violence. What’s next? Stay the Course? Let’s assume that “Staying the Course” will...

After looking at his policy proposals and history the vast majority of postgraduates have decided to vote for Obama. What is your explanation to his greater appeal to this demographic compared to that of McCain’s?

You'll be singing a different tune after you hear this!

Giuliani inferred that although McCain said “… anyone else in the United Sates” what he actually meant was “… any elected official in the United States” Isn’t it a more simple explanation to say that McCain exaggerated? Sort of like when he said Gov. Palin sells planes on Ebay for a a...

Are Gallup and Rasmussen considered to be the most reliable and the least biased? Do some polls have a reputation of being bias? With Obama down by 10 points according to USAToday/Gallup Likely Voters Poll… doesn’t it seem like it would take an extreme circumstance to turn this around at this...

No, I was summarizing a news blog I read on the Huffington Post. Well, to be honest I was inclined to believe it for two reasons. One, I want Obama to win. And two, Palin lied or severely twisted the truth in other parts of her speech so I figured she could be twisting the truth on this topic...

Did you catch the part at beginning of her speech where she spoke of how special needs children would have a “…friend and an advocate in the White House.”? Which is contradictory of her record considering she cut the budget of Special Needs Programs in public schools by over 60%. Before...
