Nicholas Nolan replied to Jazzlynnn Derrick's discussion 100% electric car with Tesla invention?"Other than the fact that these sorts of electromagnetic emissions would probably cause cancer, I have three problems with this idea.
1) What would those of us that live far from urban centers do? We could just rely on battery power, as…"
Nicholas Nolan replied to Lenore103's discussion Male status and sex?"It is purely a metric. I have lain with a woman, led men in war, and fathered two children. By all the standards of my society and culture, I am a man. If any won of the above had not happened, would I consider myself any less of a…"
Nicholas Nolan replied to Cristine McElhinney's discussion Is the Rapture Real?"The five months of which you, and a particularly foolish Californian, speak, is the Tribulation time. Revelations says it will last seven years, not five onths. And "seven years," due to strange biblical numeralogy, joins the…"
Nicholas Nolan replied to Tim's discussion What's up with the latest Doctor Who episode?"The Great Moff has a plan for the Doctor, no matter who is writing each episode. Never you fear."
Nicholas Nolan replied to E_Lewis's discussion Is Being Gay a Choice?"I find it deeply depressing that this conversation still needs to take place. I remember clearly the 80's and early 90's, when the stigma of being homosexual was still deeply ingrained into the world I lived in. I also remeber…"

Seriously, you will be drawn back to the nasty place you are in, again and again, until you can let go of that anger. Also, take up golf. Because when looking back at what your cheater did to you, you can…"
Nicholas Nolan replied to serenity's discussion new canadian legislation to make usernames illegal o.o???"In my opinion, BFD. I've long started my move away from my old handle(norbus42.) And these here internets might just get a bit more real and honest if people cruise through with their actual names for all to see. "
Nicholas Nolan replied to mathias i krogsoe's discussion religious scientist"Being scientifically minded and spiritually minded are not mutually exclusive. Even the Roman Catholic church has given evolution a nod. Need proof? Ask a Jesuit priest about evolution and the creation story in the…"

Nicholas Nolan replied to God ~blogs admin ~'s discussion War crimes."Seems like a load of monday morning quarterbacking to me.

Nicholas Nolan replied to Heather Voogd's discussion Don't ask dont tell"DADT is incredibly useful. During my term of service(1999-2005) it alwlowed a mass of people that made a huge mistake in joining up a free pass to get the hell out. I served with a few guys that we more or less openly gay, and they were…"
