Boston area residents: Stay at home today!
There's a developing and dangerous situation in Watertown, Cambridge, Belmont, Waltham, Boston. Authorities have shut down the MBTA and asked for businesses to close, and people to stay at home.
See the news for more details (one of the bombing suspects is apparently dead, the other is on the run).
Just in case some people check this website more often than their news.

A lot of focus on the Boston attack was on the two deceased people
I found that horrible, particularly the eight-year old boy. But let's not forget the people who are seriously injured, missing a leg, or an arm, or even both legs. I deeply hope the people who are now being hunted by the FBI are the ones who did it and that they will pay dearly for their crime. Them and whoever helped them do it.

Any Gun Enthusiasts on here?
I am curious as to what the best, reasonably priced (up to 3 or 4 thousand) Assault Rifle (apparently no longer an acceptable term, but we all know what I'm talking about here) would be. To be clear, I am talking a fully automatic weapon for guerrilla/insurgent type warfare. Something that can take a beating, won't need constant replacements after field use, etc. Legality within the U.S. is not a concern, black market availability is.

i am getting tired. it wasnt the fsa it was a couple clerics, a saudi and a jordanian, apparently who issued fatwas saying it was fine to rape non-sunni women by the fsa. this is following reports of widespread rape going on though. but i dont know some people in the fsa may have said something similar, i am just too lazy to look too much into it right now.

ok did i post this story here yet? i think i only posted it on the other site and my site. new nasa research pisses off the global warming crowd because it blames cold temperatures recently on co2 saying that the suns been really active but the damn co2 is preventing the radiation from reaching the earth http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/22mar_saber/

this comes at a similar time as nasa is finally parting ways with their long term employee and notoriously the worst global warming alarmist james hansen http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2013/04/climate-scientist-james-hansen-l.html

i also linked to a report on the cold winters on that other site, but i forget the link. to be honest it doesnt matter, russia, china, the uk, and most of the rest of europe all experienced record cold winters. north america was also hit hard. im sure there are plenty of stories on the cold.

anyway with all these together i speculated that maybe the most comical thing i was joking about (that after going from global cooling to global warming they would go back again) may actually become reality.

ok time to take a break. stay critical my friends. and you may someday a scientist or academic in the classical sense. that is, one who thinks critically and only believes what is proven. as opposed to the "academics" and "scientists" we have now that are actually more akin to government officials or religious leaders of yore - just parroting what they are told the truth is unquestioningly. good luck.

further proof of the inefficacy of vaccines. you heard recently companies were convicted (and for it faced an insignificant fine) of mixing animal antibodies into test subjects blood to pretend the vaccine did something when it didnt.

well now there is a measels outbreak in wales in spite of an 85% vaccination rate.

if you saw the graphs on my site or looked at the numbers you would see that all these deaths from diseases all went into decline, and were close to zero when the vaccines were introduced. this is because all diseases kill a certain number of people when they first get out. but eventually they adapt to stay alive in the host (by a process we call evolution - strains that kill the host do not survive), and become non-lethal.

the vaccine effectiveness conjecture is clouded by proven-to-be-fraudulent research, confusions over causality (well the disease is no longer lethal, it must have been the vaccine!) and propaganda. when in reality there is little evidence that vaccines have done anything. except proven deaths and injury from adverse reactions.
