Because Fry would write "I like the colour blue" I can't take anyone who uses the word colour seriously.

So you can't take anyone who speaks English or French seriously? Just American? Where a stick is a car, Notre Dame is pronounced Noter Daim, an Aeroplane is an Airplane because three syllable words are too complicated, let alone four syllable words like "Philosopher" which needed to be replaced with "Sorcerer" for the American Harry Potter market.

4pm english time aka WRONG TIME. It's 8am real people time. Deal with it. Alumininiumnium.

I'm pretty sure the world measure it's time from GMT, i.e. how far away from Greenwich you go you add or subtract hours. Therefore GMT is the original time and then your time is measured based on it's distance from here...

Also America doesn't even have one time, it's different time depending on where you are in America... So... That's my argument about English time > American time.

Michio kaku is a smart guy I'm sure, but whenever I hear him, it always seems like he's going overboard with potential what ifs.

Here is what I can picture him saying. Of course, you are supposed to read this in his voice

Now, when this man rolls over and falls out of his bed, the impact on the earth may send shockwaves through the earth and down past the crust, all the way to the molten core. When this happens, the liquid like core will shift slight, picture small waves on the ocean. This movement will push the earth off its axis, shifting our normal orbit. Over time we will stop orbiting the sun and earth will either travel away from the sun, into deep space where all life on earth will instantaneously freeze, or, we will be sent directly into the sun. However, the chance of this man's weight causing this shift is extremely unlikely according to what we know geology, psychics, and astronomy. And even if this shift did occur, it would take 8 billion years to occur, so with a little bit of luck we will survive

Given that we don't know them personally and therefore cannot pass conclusive personal judgment on any of them, I'd say Bill Maher is the smartest person on television.

I'm a big fan of Real Time.


You've got to be f'in kidding me. He's a partisan liberal hack, nothing else.

I remember him explaining different stages of star exploration. That's nice and all but we are nowhere near getting to the first stage of leaving our own solar system, and the nearest star is a lot farther than that. What he's saying might be right but it's all this stuff that doesn't apply to our current situation.

you're arguing with Quebert...

:hmm:



wait, you two should continue. I'm curious if this will create some kind of dimensional wormhole when the troll-retard nexi collapse into one another.


carry on.

I think he hates liberals as much as you do. I suppose you have been told to believe that is what he thinks?

If I had to describe his political compass, he's more fiercely libertarian, with an unhealthy dose of Rand Paul-style of crackpottery.

define smartest. is it the overall remembrance of facts? the application of specific facts or the ability to convey your point in a positive manner, making people understand your facts?

Exactly

Hell I could say Oprah because she turned herself into a billionaire, has millions of brainwashed fans, and turned that lunatic Dr Phil into a media giant.

grrr dr phill!!!!111lll!!!

That show makes my blood boil. He might just be pandering to his audience, but he seems incapable of admitting that some things in the brain are actual medical problems. If he could get away with it, he would probably claim that being a teenager is a learned behavior. The way teens sleep 12 hours per day because their body is rapidly changing just like a baby's? That's all learned. It's not hormones or anything like that, it's all learned. The way teens behave in a very irrational and almost bi-polar way? That's all learned. It's not hormones or the effects of brain changes. It's all learned and with enough therapy (and my books) you can make your teen's brain stop growing. Ok maybe that last sentence is true.
