Comment Re:First time a Muslim packs one with explosives (Score 1) 162

Just view the word Muslim like Nazi and then it becomes clear. The constant banging of the drums against muslim/islamic terrorists seems to cause people's mind to shut down as they now are being painted as the universal bad guy.

Well... yes.

Do you perhaps have another explanation for what we are seeing?

Kindly share it with us.

Interesting page.

A minor nitpick:

You present the equation E = R x I x L x T

with T being the loss in transmission between the supply and demand.

I don't believe transmission loss is usually reversed to mean efficiency, so your formula would have the energy delivered increase as the transmission loss increases. Perhaps you mean:

E = R x I x L x (1.0-T)

or

E = R x I x L x F

Where F is the normalised efficiency of the transmission between the supply and demand.

Also, I assume you have allowed for the fact that more distant geostationary solar arrays spend less time in Earth's shadow so have more illumination per year.

Your position is idiotic for any functioning society.

This argument reduces to the assertion that any dress code is immoral, and that people should be able to wear anything they like, including nothing. You then use the absurd leap to liken such a society that has a dress code to an oppressive muslim regime.

I hope the next person who sits beside you on a bus thinks like you do.
