I think you guys are trying to miss the point that I was trying to make... I do not give a shit whether this guy was Lebanese of not. I only made specific mention to it to make a point of how our country is sanctuary for all people. What I am pissed off about is the fact that there has been...

First of all, I don't see how targeted mass murder of civilians counts as a pre-emptive strike... Although considering what you are saying, why exactly does Israel not have a right to defend ITS territory against murderous scumbags who incite their children to strap on bomb belts and blow up...

Since when is Israel's refusal to kowtow to the often anti-semitic (take a look at the sort of crapped spewed at the Durbin conference 'against' racism) UN a 'violation of international law'? UN resolutions are documents issued by political bodies and need to be interpreted in light of the...

I agree that my comment was a bit over-the-top, although I never said that he was from lebanon - just his family. Although, as I tried to show with the second paragraph, this is not meant to be an attack on the ethnicity of the teen - but rather the fact that he burnt the flag. I would be...

Look, I am well aware of the fallacies of that sort of argument. The only reason I put that sort of stuff in is because arguing in favor of these theories is akin, in my opinion, to arguing that 2+2 = 5 - it is so obviously fallacious that I get a bit overconfident

And the Jews were living there before that. Yet you miss the point. What should have happened to the British Mandate? Should they have given it straight back to the empire that had just crumbled after losing WWI? No! Should they have given it all to the arabs? No, for that would have...

While I am starting a few new threads, I thought I might throw this in (thanks to LGF) Now, briefly browsing this forum, I have found an abundance of Israel bashers. Being a proud supporter of Israel myself, I have always wondered why others could do this. Then, the answer hit me - ignorance...

I am not sure whether this thing should go in humor or politics... but because I am sure that there is at least one 'truther' out there without two braincells to rub together I will put it here. To all you conspiracy theory moonbats, this one is for you... A hilarious reconstruction of the...

What valid point exactly? Looks to me like you are simply trying to perpetuate a victim mentality while whinging to gain sympathy. I am sorry if that sounds harsh, but your argument is simply that if the shooter was a muslim there would be a media uproar. First of all, looking at recent...

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20522453-5005941,00.html Is it just me, or do the rest of you also find it an absolute outrage that this traitorous teen who burnt a flag stolen from an RSL club in front of 150 people hasn't been punished yet? I mean, of course, the...

In response to your first question... When the motor starts spinning back EMF is minimal (The change in flux is less if the speed of rotation is less, for obvious reasons), hence if there is little resistance there will be a very high current in the motor, which could cause it to overheat...

Okay... Now, the slingshot effect refers to the speed increase due to an elastic collision between a planet and a ship. If the ship changes direction completely, then it gains the largest speed increase. How? Well, we know that there is an elastic collision, which as a result means that...

er....no I get something completely different I= integral(u^2/u^4+1) =integral (u^2)/(u^2+sqr(2)u+1)(u^2-sqr(2)u+1) = integral ((u^2+1)/(u^2+sqr(2)u+1)(u^2-sqr(2)u+1) - 1/(u^4+1)) = integral (1/2 (1/(u^2+sqr(2)u+1) + 1/(u^2-sqr(2)u+1)) - I 4I=integral (1/((u+1/sqr(2))^2 +1/2) +...

My opinion isn't valued... :burn: But quite seriously, this method does work. The equivalence of modulii is a perfectly sound method. I mean, consider this on the argand plane. If (z+i)^13=(z-i)^13, then z+i and z-i obviously have to have the same modulus, or if you take them to the power of...

Integration is always the easiest topic... and generally is a gift question. I mean, considering how many integrals you will do as practice up until the HSC, you will be so proficient and drilled in them that you will be able to solve them without application of any thought at all. Similarly...
