"to suppose that Earth is the only cradle of life and even intelligence is arrogant, IMHO." you are right man, and may i add that we are not even the most intelligent on our own planet, what dumbasses we are if compared to ants or bees. they will be here after we humans kill one another.

How many of you speak Irish Gaelic? Posted: 11/14/2009 11:03:45 AM
when we in the Spanish speaking world say "America" we are referring to the whole continent discovered by Columbus in 1492, from Canada in the north to Cape Horn in the south. we do not see North America as one continent and South America as another one. what we learn at school is "America is a continent discovered by Columbus in 1492, the continent is divided into three parts, north, central and south..." that is the reason we find so strange that people in the US call themselves "Americans". also it makes some of us Europeans fume according to what i learnt whilst being at school, a person from Argentina, Mexico or Brazil is as American as a person from the US. Latin America or Iberoamerica "Iberian America" as we prefer to say in Spain only refer to those parts which were under the rule of Spain, such as what is now Argentina, etc well maybe Galician and Catalan are languages, but my pride tells me they are a Spanish dialect. anyway i can understand some of what they say or write, but i can not speak or write it, nor am i interested. to the poster who is with the Basque, well if you are with them then you are agreeing with carbombs, killings, people being threatened, etc. do not tell me you are only with them emotionally! if you are with them you are with anything what they do, terrorism!

How many of you speak Irish Gaelic? Posted: 11/13/2009 11:11:15 AM
let us see, Castilian language, commonly known overseas as Spanish, started around the 9th century according to its first text found, and since then it became the main language as the County of Castile and later Kingdom of Castile became the most powerful kingdom in Spain. that is the reason leaders since the 11th or 12th century have made it the main language, above all with the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th century with Isabella being Castilian of course. i do not deny any other language in Spain (in case there is another one save for the Basque) but if Spanish is the main language in Spain, i expect everyone to speak it even if i travel to the north, northeast and northwest, you know what i mean!

How many of you speak Irish Gaelic? Posted: 11/5/2009 3:31:05 AM
as far as i know Ireland is mainly an English speaking country. it may be that they have an Irish accent, but it is English what they speak. only a tiny minority speaks Gaelic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. here in my country Spain we have the same pain in the arse with both the Basque and Catalans, they claim that their languages are so important... but the real fact is that most of the Basque and Catalans speak Spanish, above all in the Basque region where you find a lot of dumb pro-independence people who do not even know the language 'they are fighting for'. that is what i call a pile of crap! is it too hard to admit and recognise that most people in Ireland, Basque and Catalan region speak English and Spanish respectively? the only difference is that Ireland is not part of the UK, whereas the Basque and Catalan regions are part of the Spain of course.

Infinity, does it extent both inwards and outwards ? Posted: 10/18/2009 7:28:18 PM
infinity may be true, the smallest sub atomic particles must be for sure composed of smaller particles (it makes sense). everything has a beginning, and that beginning had a beginning as well, so infinity is true in some way. if i leave an empty beer can upon the table, it means i went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, took the can, returned to the living room, enjoyed the can, and finally left it upon the table. you see a lot of beginnings! the first beginning of going to the kitchen is not the beginning really, for i had to buy the beer can before, etc it looks endless or infinite in some way.

"Space is being created" how? with a magic wand? if space is expanding as you suggest, it means it is expanding into something else, something that already exists, physically. or are you telling me that it is expanding and creating new space in a place called nothingness?

"it is not the galaxies that are moving but the space between them expanding" funny comment without any proof at least. and why are galaxies not moving but the space between them? so if two cars are in a parking place, say, McDonalds or Burger King, and after both drivers have had their meals they leave the parking place, one moving to the left and the other one to the right, does that mean the cars are not moving? so is it the space between the cars (more cars, people eating, birds in the air, etc) that is moving? the theory of relativity is rubbish and has not been proved with real and touchable facts, just theory. by the way, if it is the space that is expanding, expanding into the nothingness? or towards the nothingness? and how does that place look like? if space is expanding, it means that it is capturing more space or 'room' outside its borders, which logically means there is more space that is doomed to be captured by the space that is expanding. is that a part of the theory of relativity?

if you abuse on getting your information from the nearest rubbish bin, i shall stop talking to you i already said that Di Stefano agreed with Barcelona and FIFA authorised it, but as i said before, the owner of the player's rights, Millonarios football club reported it. by the way i have not said that Di Stefano did not sign anything, only that he signed an agreement, not a deal or contract! the Spanish FA only allowed an amount of foreign players, and at that time Barcelona had them all. your statement that everything was based on Franco's tyranny is silly and makes no sense, unless you prove it with real facts. clearly you get your 'facts' from the Barca's rubbish information centre, also known as lame whingers. by the way, Raul is a professional footballer, so even if he is a fan of Atletico he plays for the club that pays him a high amount of money, like many other footballers. i do not get what you try to say.

hey kinky, stop telling lies you bloody liar! i am used to talk of football with people who know about it, but you are just an ignorant moaning Minnie, acting like a child who has not been given sweets roll on the floor complaining, asking for sweets you little boy FACT, Madrid have won 9 European Cups/Champions League whether you like it or not, and i am not including several UEFA Cups as well. FACT, Madrid never complain about referees, and never have. children learn it since they join the club, also they learn to respect when the rival beats them. FACT, Madrid are the Spain's main and most important club, with more supporters than any other football club, followed by the scum of Barca. FACT, Di Stefano never played officially for Barcelona, get your facts right man! let me tell you something: he and Barcelona agreed in 1953, however, the club that owned his rights, Millonarios, reported his agreement to FIFA. he arrived to Barcelona to sign the contract, but there were problems with the Spanish FA, so Bernabeu, president of Madrid, talked to him, and finally he 'broke' his agreement with Barcelona. some months later the Spanish FA stated that he would play in Spain for 4 years, 2 years playing for Madrid and 2 for Barcelona. Barcelona protested and was against it and their leaders left. the new leaders of Barcelona signed an agreement with Madrid, giving up the player's rights and receiving some money from Madrid. he only stayed at Barcelona for 3 months, training. he played 3 friendly games. he never wore their jersey afraid of a fine from the Spanish FA. one of the reasons Barcelona failed to have him was that they already had all foreign players that the FA allowed. FACT, Raul left Atletico and joined Madrid because Atletico disbanded at youth level, with some youth categories disappearing due to lack of money. FACT, you are full of lies kinky.

Does sex feel different with someone you love? Posted: 10/12/2009 12:38:55 PM
sex does not change, physically it is the same, the pleasure you get during sex is the same whether there is love or not. now emotionally is a different story, if i am in love with a woman and hold her in my arms i shall feel that special feeling of caring about her, loving her, protecting her, etc if i am not in love i shall not give a rat's arse even if i hold her in my arms for a hundred years.

stop texting and calling her. the more you are 'behind' her the more she wants you to keep away from her. she ended the relationship, so let her have her own way. move on, get over it, do not contact her anymore. perhaps she might come back to you if she realises that you are happy without her...women are so strange sometimes!

Declining Sex Drive, Normal? Posted: 10/6/2009 10:40:08 AM
and the world is wonderful, birds singing in the air full of joy............ strange that no-one has mentioned that she might be falling out of love, or perhaps she might have a secret love affair with someone else, which might explain the sex drive dwindleing down (if she has a secret lover i am sure her sex drive has not dwindled down, i mean, with her secret lover). i am not saying that she has someone else, only that most women lose interest in their husbands/boyfriends when seeing someone else. and why do you have to care about her so much, cooking, putting flowers on the bedside table, etc? if she is losing interest you can do nothing, even you might look too nice...

if being ignorant would mean winning some prize, then some of you would get the first! let me just say, First, Madrid do not receive a coin from the government you all idiots, which rubbish bin you get the information from? Madrid have received 300 million euro from some banks, you know why? because Madrid bring in more money than any other football club, and banks will get their money back. Madrid are the world's richest club with the highest income, followed by Man United (google it you morons). Second, Madrid sold their old training grounds to build a new centre, it is said to be the best football training centre in the world, only compared to that of Milan, Milanello. Third, Blatter is an honourary member of Madrid because HE has stated a lot of times that he is a fan of them since he was a child (many other famous people have become honourary members of Barca as well). it has nothing to do with favouring a club. Fourth, Blatter has never defended any transfer, he just said that it is the market that rules over the sport. Fifth, yes Madrid paid 96 million euro to sign C.Ronaldo. now how much money have Barcelona paid to get Ibrahimovich, including the money received from Inter because of Etoo? answer you idiots! you all whingeing poms! you look like moaning Minnies!

"in our opinion" speak for yourself wizard not able to get a little bird out of a hat, what a wizard with no magic yes rugby is more versatile than north american football, you only has to see the pace of the game. north american football has a lot more stoppages, many players play for 5 minutes then go to the bench, later they play again, etc a rugby player can play for 80 minutes, it means they are more mobile and versatile. by the way, i am the only person you criticise, i mean, there have been many other people who bashed north american football players, saying that rugby players make them look like girls, yet you have never slagged them off, only me. why is it wizard with an umbrella as wand? i guess it is the language barrier so you find me 'easier' to target.

"Yes they were, but that is more to do with the fact that Madrid are Fifa's golden boys than anything else. It's easy to win things when your club is run and funded by the government" you are really ignorant, maybe you should post about badminton or tennis, not about football. Madrid were founded by a group of members more than a century ago, the same with Barcelona or any other club. even in Britain clubs were founded as well by groups of friends, etc the only difference is that in Spain our clubs still belong to members, who choose a president every 4 years, whereas in Britain they were took over or have been taken over by some bloody businessman. so stop talking nonsense! Madrid do not belong to the goverment, what a silly and ignorant statement!

another ignorant friend! so Madrid are nothing? well they were officially named the best football club of the 20th century, you know, by FIFA. 31 Spain's league titles 9 European Cups/Champions League 3 Intercontinental Cups and many other titles which i do not fancy to mention. tell me about Barca please by the way, how do you know Barca and Man United will play the final again? are you god now? a wise man? it is clear that you have not watched Madrid this current season, we do not play brilliantly yet (a matter of time when signing new players) but we are scoring so many goals so easily with Ronaldo and Kaka that we shall kick any arse in both the domestic league and champions. and i do not even want to imagine when playing well.

i was wrong Jason, i meant Celtic park not Ibrox, home Rangers, my fault! now you have just proven you know nothing about football by saying that Barca are the Spain's greatest club, are you drunk again? Madrid have 31 league titles, how many have Barca won? Madrid have 9 European Cups/Champions Leagues, how many have Barca won? if you know nothing about Britain, how the hell about a foreign place, Spain? can you tell me a domestic league with a club having won the title more than 30 times? perhaps in Scotland with Celtic i might say, no? that says a lot of Madrid being powerful through the years. i may agree that Barca have always perfomed brilliantly, but no-one remembers the one who plays better but the one who lifts trophies! and Madrid always have lifted more titles than Barca, fact! Man United may be bigger than Liverpool in terms of income, TV rights, etc but Liverpool are greater than them, the greatest in Britain together with Celtic in terms of titles. and yes Old Trafford is a joke compared to Anfield.

"look at your own club which in my eyes is the most souless crowd I have ever seen, you cant even sell out the bernebeu in a normal spanish game.... do real madrid have a strong following or just glory hunters propably the latter. barcelona and man utd build teams madrid buys them because they are so bad at finding talent" Jason your ignorance is worrying! where do you get your information from? from a rubbish bin? Bernabeu gets sold out almost always, when i was a kid it used to have 120000 spectators on Sundays, you know, when stadiums did not have proper seats as you see today. after UEFA ruled about seats, Bernabeu has 80000 seats more or less and usually it gets sold out. go and have at look at the last matches. the same with Barcelona, do you really think that the shit hole of Barcelona gets sold out always? it does not! usually but not always as Bernabeu! get your facts right Jason! as for Barcelona building teams and Madrid buying them, well do you mean the new player Ibrahimovich signed by Barca? how much money have they paid including the money received by Inter because of Etoo? tell me Jason.... it is really easy slag off Madrid because of Ronaldo and the money Madrid has paid, but you see that the scum of Barcelona has paid almost the same amount to sign Ibrahimovich. by the way, look at yourself Jason before talking of Madrid, you know, your club was taking over by north americans, rich north americans! their knowledge of football is similar to mine of developing space rockets! at least Madrid belongs to its members not to a bloody foreigner.

sum1, i already told that European countries have their own american football leagues, and baseball leagues as well! but they have a very tiny fanbase. remember that what Europeans love is football and rugby mainly, then it may come basketball, european handball, tennis, hockey on roller skate, etc USA has a rugby league or at least a college league, does it mean americans love it? it does not! only the tiny fanbase who supports it. by the way, some of those american football leagues in Europe may not be professional, you know, some players are carpenters, others plumbers, etc they buy their helmets and padding, they rent a bus to travel at weekends, etc as for England you are right that their first division has 10 teams, but their premier, which is more important than both the first and second division, has only 5 teams who fight for the Britbowl in September. i do not deny that american football exists in Europe, of course it exists! but you can not say, much less suggest that it runs through our veins or that it has much interest. think of rugby, field hockey and cricket in the US.............

"As pedro says, high attendance at visiting NFL games is no assurance of how strong the interest is" you are right sum1! and i add that the best way to see if people in Britain have some interest in american football is to have a look at the website of BAFA, British American Football Association, the governing body of american football in Britain, what a website full of...of...almost nothing! also the BAFL, British American Football League, is very poor. it has 3 divisions, premier, first and second. the permier has only 5 teams and it is played in summertime! and the winner lifts the Britbowl in September! the BAFA was establised in 1987, and the BAFL in 1998. therefore, people in Britain do not care about american football and never have. now if some NFL team visits Wembley or any other European place once a year, people will attend not because the country has interest but because most people are curious, just to see something from 'outer space'.

"because there are always quite a large number of N. americans residing in London and surrounding areas, and i'm sure that some americans would even make the train ride from northern towns...... the former league called NFL europe failed in England because it was terrible in quality so few americans came to watch it" thanks sum1! you are agreeing with me that mainly north americans who reside in the UK are those who attend the games. and as for Germany you are wrong because Germany is the only European country where several american football teams really work with a strong and solid fanbase, look at it please. most people in England do not care about it. it is a fact that England as a country, is a country whose citizens love football and rugby mainly. English people like Sarcastic who likes or enjoys american football are a tiny minority not only in England but in Spain, Italy, France or Portugal as well, fact! well returning to the London subject, it is quite silly to say that the team failed because their home was not accessible after bulldozing Wembley. are you telling me that White Hart Lane and Stamford Bridge are not accessible? they are home of Tottenham and Chelsea respectively, famous football clubs with a lot of accessible ways to get there. and what do you mean by saying that London, Cardiff or Edinburgh want a game of NFL in their cities? again you are wrong if you think that people in the UK have embraced or become fans of the sport suddenly. i remind you that european football clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid or Barcelona often go to the US in summertime to play friendly matches, stadiums get sold out almost always. do you really think that americans have become football fans suddenly just because Man United visit them once a year? i think not! recently the stadium Rose Bowl got sold out with almost 100000 spectators (a new record) to see L.A Galaxy vs Barcelona, does that mean that people in LA or the whole of USA are football fans? the same with Fedex stadium in Washington with 80000 people to see D.C United vs Real Madrid..... finally, as you live in Newcastle, i ask you a question, hope you answer it: do you really think that there are more fans of NFL in the UK than fans of Newcastle? really? as i said before, even Queen's Park Rangers must have more fans

and why should i watch the superbowl on BBC? i am from Spain man! so do not tell me what "free to air" means, at least here in Spain! none TV channel in Spain, and i mean not even one, shows the superbowl 'free to air' as you say, much less games during the season. the only chance is to get satellite or pay per view channels. where are you from man? i imagine you must be from London. well in this case, let me tell you that most people who have attended NFL games at Wembley were curious, not real fans! you may be of course an Englishman who likes NFL, but Brits who like and support american football are a TINY MINORITY amongst the whole of the British who love football and rugby, do you get it man? you do know that a team based in London would NOT work, just like the Scottish Claymores did not work and failed, did you know it? the only European place where american football teams really work is Germany. you come here and tell me that "London games got sold out". are you expecting me to believe that it means that England or the city of London have become suddenly fans of NFL? please! as i said before more people are curious and leave the stadium before the game finishes. it is great if you like NFL or any other north american sport, i wish i could have got into them as well. there is nothing wrong knowing different sports, but do not come here to tell me or tell the world that London or the whole of England or Britain are fans of american football. surely there are more fans of Queen's Park Rangers or Nottingham Forest than fans of the NFL in the whole of UK, fact!

sum1, i agree that NFL is a sport with players charging and hitting harder, but you can not deny the fact that it is a sport where there are a lot of stoppages, players playing for a few minutes and being sent to the bench, returning, etc and let me tell you that because a NFL player has a weight of 300 lb or is 'big' does not mean he is more mobile or versatile. it may be that a NFL player is bigger than a rugby player so the NFL player is able to cope with more hits, but the rugby player is more versatile, mobile and more aerobically fit because they are used to play for more minutes, and don't forget that the pace in rugby is harder. the only that i know of NFL comes from typical north american films or TV series where you see a typical american family, the high school with its team, etc i do not have any chance to watch a real game on TV, for the common and free TV channels do not show any game, and never have because it is not part of the culture. it is like the CBS or NBC showing a european football game on Sunday night, strange it might be! the only chance is to get satellite or some pay per view channel, but i am not to pay of course!

it was not me who mentioned the 300 lb players. anyway as i said before, before any Steelers player can hit, the red devil would score easily or would pass the ball. and on the other hand a Steelers player would be easily tackled by any devil. i do not think that sum1 has become a Brit just because he uses the word 'football' meaning football. football is football, it always has been and will. by the way, it is true that the word 'football' comes from Britain, but you should not forget that it is used everywhere, in the whole world. in the Spanish speaking world we use the word 'futbol', which is literally the way we pronounce 'football'. and let me tell you that even in the US, there was a time when football was called football. visit the website 'ussoccer' and click on 'history', you will find that what you now call soccer was called football, as in the United States Football Association from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. later it changed and was renamed the United States Football Soccer Association from the beginning to 1943 i think, and since 1943 it is called United States Soccer Federation. and i add that even nowadays there are American and Canadians 'soccer' teams that have the letters 'F.C', which means 'Football Club'.

how can a 300 lb NFL player be more versatile and mobile than a rugby player i wonder? in fact a player with such a weight should attend a doctor to lose some only an ignorant person like wizard would say such a brilliant comment. even my 6 year old son is more versatile, mobile and faster than any 300 lb person. anyway, people so fat should not be allowed to play sports, health gets damaged even if you play for no more than 5 minutes, return to the bench, stoppages, girls dancing strange dances on the field, TV commercials, etc honestly i hope wizard does not return with such a statement about a 300 lb player being more versatile or mobile. by the way, someone has suggested a game with Manchester United vs Steelers just to see who deserves to be called 'a football team'. well first of all i must say that it is one of the silliest statements that i have ever read. and second i am sure that only one of them, Man United, would kick and pass the 'ball' using a 'foot', and finally Man United players would dance with the ball around those 300 lb Steelers players, treating them like clowns, and no need to say that those NFL players would get tired and exausted as they are used to play for 5 minutes, return to the bench, etc. anyway before any NFL player can charge or hit, the Red Devil will have scored from a certain distance. therefore a game with Man United vs Steelers might be a scandal with the highest difference of scoring that man has ever seen. take it or leave it, but it is logic.

"If rugby players are so tough then why don't they come get their multi-million dollar contract in the NFL" why should rugby players play in the NFL? will you expect a baseball player to leave baseball and play cricket? rugby is tougher than american football, everyone knows that a NFL player playes for 5 or 10 minutes per game, a lot of stoppages, etc a rugby player can play easily for 90 minutes, and the pace in rugby is harder. rugby players are more versatile and tougher than perhaps any other sportsman in the world if talking of ball games. a rugby player would find the NFL quite easy, playing 5 or 10 minutes per game is like a gift from heaven. on the other hand an NFL player would not be able to play rugby for 50 minutes, much less 80 or 90 because he is used to play for 5 minutes more or less, and the pace in rugby is sometimes terrible. by the way, i do not hate NFL nor have i ever suggested it.

"Snail sex is more exciting" at least snails do not wear padding, helmets and lycra as effeminate pansies rugby is a man's sport where players charge and hit and they wear nothing save for some player with a scrum cap. where do NFL players get their lycra from? it is made in China or they get them from their wives and sisters?

NFL in Europe? Posted: 9/10/2009 12:04:26 PM
"NFL football is a sport that hasn't been accepted anyplace outside of the US mainly because of its cumbersome nature (enormous amount of rules, loads of gear needed, frequent stoppages which takes 3-4 hrs to play a 1 hr game)..........it is a game that evolved here in the US to fit the tastes of those who developed it, and to bring it somewhere else is like trying to plant a coconut tree in Alaska" ^^^^you are right sum1! NFL or american football has always had bad press, not because it is a north american sport but because of the many stoppages, padding and helmets, which makes it look silly. on the other hand, basketball, another north american sport, is well accepted and is included amongst the top sports, in fact we have high quality leagues. by the way, i do not speak for every european of course, but i have the authority to speak for most because this is my land, born, raised and living. just like any north american has the authority to talk of north america because it comes from being a child and watching around what happens to your land. i agree that there may be more fans of NFL in Europe than before, but that does not mean the sport is big or popular, because it is not. young europeans who are 20, 30 or 40 do know that NFL exists because of the easy access we have today, however, most children have never heard of it, my own 6 year old son and nephew know nothing about it, do not know it exists. and it is because it is not showed on public TV channels that everyone sees, not people playing it in the streets or ground, etc so it is not something familiar. and the elderly, who never have had the easy access we have today, do not know about it (i do not even need to ask my 80 year old grandmother about it because i already know the answer)

"the NFLE failed cause it was a poor product not because it was in Europe . There are plenty of reasons why a NFL team in Europe wouldn't work but lack of interest is not one of them, the sport has never been more popular then it is right now in Europe" really? what do you mean by popular? i am European, born and raised, so do not tell me that NFL is popular in this part, because it is not. in fact most children and the elderly have never heard of such a sport, the only sport with an oval ball we really recognise and respect is rugby. of course you may find some fans, above all in Germany and because Germans are sick and tired of their national football team, which is a joke in the last years. however, at the end of all, Germans and other Europeans leave anything behind, and sit on the sofa at home to watch their football clubs and national teams because it is part of the culture. NFL will never work in Europe if compared to our main sport, football. just like football will never work in the US if compared to baseball or NFL, simple! and as for Wembley stadium in England getting sold out with two NFL teams, well most people who attended were curious, not real fans (i would have attended as well had i lived in London)

I am looking for a true love, but my heart is still broken in every pieces... Posted: 9/6/2009 4:52:13 AM
"I have been searching for a love all along" the more you search the less you find. let love find you instead of being desperate looking for it. anyway, you are just 19 years old, i guess you may not have been searching for it all along or for so long. it was just yesterday when you played with dolls and toys. and how can a 19 year old little girl's heart get broken million times? unless you began dating men after coming out of your mum seriously, do not look desperate, and do not let things come upon you forcing them.

Would love to move to Europe from Canada one day.. Any suggestions? Personal Experiences? Posted: 9/2/2009 12:43:08 PM
"If you're Canadian, you'd probably have an easier time getting into the UK then Europe" the UK is part of Europe so your comment should say "you'd probably have an easier time getting into the UK than any other European part"

Traveling at light speed. Does time reall stop? Posted: 9/1/2009 10:07:50 AM
"I'd have to disagree with you here. Not only were those experiments with atomic clocks well designed, carried out and reproducible, but many other experiments have proven the theory of relativity. Bending of light around stars, our star, so that we see distant objects behind our sun during a solar eclipse (gravitational lensing). The slowing down of the decay rate of radioactive particles accelerated to near the speed of light proves time dilation. Radar waves sent to Venus and bounced back have been shown to slow down when passing near the sun as predicted by relativity. GPS satellites use relativistic calculations all the time, proving relativity every day. If not for these calculations, GPSs would be miles off. And not to mention the fact that every atomic weapon ever detonated proves relativity (E=mc^2" i tell you that bending of light does not mean nor does it prove time dilation, much less travel into either the past or future. funny how some people believe in time travel without any proof. time does not really exist, it is unreal. why does our planet take 365 days around the sun? because we have created the seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc surely lifeforms from outer space have a different 'frame of time', even we might have developed a different system, different from seconds and hours, why not? if travel through time were true, i could appear in a different era travelling at the speed of light for some time, whereas some lifeform from outer space that has a different system of counting time, and travels at the same speed for the same time could appear further in the future? how is it? if both have travelled at the same speed for the same time, we should appear in the same place,. therefore that proves that time and its seconds, minutes, hours, etc are just made by man.

Paul K, i am with you, the theory of relativity has not been proved with real and touchable facts apart from some dumb experiment with atomic clocks. it might be that those clocks had some 'internal problem' or failure, yet people like Andy and Greg tell the world that it proves that time dilation is true, which means that time into the past or future is possible, of course with no real fact. i have always known that machines made by man are not perfect, even atomic clocks. i imagine that if Andy and Greg were fighter pilots of the US Air Force and travelled around the Earth with the same F15 at the highest speed, they would not take the same exact time, you know, engines are engines, and they do not work perfectly and properly all the time for their lifetimes. so there would be difference, even tiny, between the perfomance of Andy and Greg with the same F15. surely they would tell the world it was time dilation that caused their perfomances difference anyway Paul, your scenario of the ship at 90% of the speed of light and the light beam is brilliant, and i add, what if you fancy a cigarrette and ask for a light at the front of the ship with the light beam you switched on before and travelling at the speed of light? might it be that the light beam gets further from you as a racer? what a strange sight? or might it be that the light you asked for disappears suddenly having travelled to either the past or future, so you ca not enjoy the cigarrette? i magine that both Andy and Greg have the answer

REAL MADRID the best club in the 20 century Posted: 8/12/2009 11:28:25 AM
Real were named the best football club in the 20th century by not only FIFA but several important sporting newspapers like the French L'Equipe. it was because they were the best and greatest, they won 5 European Cups in a row from 1956 to 1960, and none but them have got it. they were so great that even an English famous team, Leeds United, changed their jerseys colour and started wearing white to honour them. it is a famous fact recognised by Leeds United. also, one of those finals in the 50's got the highest amount of spectators that an European final has ever seen, 130000 spectators at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland. and let us not forget that Madrid were one of the few that helped to establish FIFA.

i am sorry if you or someone has seen my post as an attack, it is not. it was him who asked me to return more educated when i have never treated anyone badly, i have posted what i think about time travel, that is all. by the way, i do not see those flaws in the structure or those incomplete sentences that you see. i shall gladly improve my command if you show me those 'mistakes'. by the way, some people in the past have told me that my English looks laborious. well perhaps it may be, only that i like to write all words even if it takes longer to write and pronounce.

i am not talking of punctuation or capitals, do you think that i am an idiot? i do know that 'I' is always capitalised. and what do you mean by suspect? i do not care about punctuation, i care about how words are written, above all in their correct tense. so do you really think that someone who writes "i've spoke with your father" instead of "i have spokeN" is showing a better language just because i do not capitalise 'i'. oh sorry it is 'I'. by the way, i have not said that my command is the best or that i speak the Queen's English or BBC English, i have never suggested to speak them. but at least i try to do my best when speaking English (a foreign language to me). and honestly even if my posts are not the best examples of written language, they do not have any mistakes, at least what i see as mistakes. AND i use tenses correctly.
