I remembered some fun topics from the Donor Forum that would have been well-placed in here, had this forum existed back then. If you have some topic links from other forums that relate to this forum (probably some in PaRD, for example), feel free to use this tpic to open them up here for discussion. Please don't post in these topics, because they are already finished in the Donor Forum from what I can seen

http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=23799841&f=115 - chronophage clock (Notice me spamming for this forum's creation on post #43 lol)
http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=20099012&f=115 - big bang/hadron collider (Covers two topics from what I recall; fear mongering about the collider experiment along with some stuff that actually related nicely to the Big Bang topic we have open on this forum)
http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=14915565&f=115 - world carrying capacity (This is a political and scientific topic, and we can think about it as ecology of sorts)

The chronophage still boggles me a bit. The hadron collider is interesting because it's really designed for investigation of sub-atmoic particles, and the carrying capacity discussion is a nice example of a topic that has some imaginative replies, and which really splits based on what people mean by 'carrying capacity'. For instance, I believe we're already WAY over our carrying capacity if we want to live sustainably; however, we could certainly cram more people into the world [I pay a lot of attention to what people mean when they use certain words, because it helps explain why people disagree.].

ah damn me, maybe i will "reprint" some of the posts sometime--wasn't thinking when i put the links up sad.gif they are Donor Forum links, so because they're inaccessible to a lot of people, I'll just close this for now. Some of the posts are really interesting, so I was hoping to bring them to life.
