Reply to Why Kyoto failed in Politics JoeUser Forums

"There is no reason that North Americans need SUVs or Minivans." OK, one more thing, you might be able to get away with that statement for a significant portion of SUVs, but Minivans? What is wrong with them, other than that they are large and pseudo-ugly? No one in their right mind buys a minivan unless they need one. They're roomy, safe and much more fuel efficient than SUVs - more efficient even than a lot of regular cars, and larger families (with, say, 4 or more kids) ab

Just a few comments: 1. I didn't think Kyoto treated all countries the same. I was under the impression that "developing countries" (I believe India is considered a "developing country") were exempt, but I could be wrong. 2. Moving to fuel cells in cars won't solve anything because fuel cells aren't an energy source. They run on hydrogen, yes, but the process of isolating the hydrogen takes energy, and right now that usually comes from a "dirty" fossil fuel. The on

Electoral fraud is one thing, and hardly a new accusation in politics (even with respect to Bush), but suggesting that Bush would orchestrate a terrorist attack in October so that he could "suspend" (not delay, not postpone) elections is another thing...

Liberal Conspiracy Theorists in Politics JoeUser Forums

Reading a forum I regularly post at, I noticed the following post: Subj: what I'm afraid of Another terrorist attack on US soil just happens to occur in October and Bush suspends the November elections. That's the only thing I can imagine that will really cause the shit to hit the fans. Naturally, I was taken aback. I wanted to respond, but words fail me, and I really shudder to think of the responses I'd recieve (not that fear of the responses would stop me

Thanks for the comments! I figured that many of these things would be in the works, but what is here now is a good start... and some of those new features, particularly Joe Navigator, sound great. It also sounds like you've got a good grasp of the community thing and some of your future features sound great... I might keep posting here for a bit because I've been looking for a different sort of venue to post in, and plus it would be nice to see this site grow as new features become av

This post is duplicated from my blog , but I thought I'd post it here too with some minor edits... My other blog is powered by Movable Type , and on the whole, I'm very happy with it. It's a huge step above Blogger , for a good number of reasons. The main problem with Blogger was that the application and all your data was stored on

Thanksgiving Cuisine in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Tonight I dined on fresh Sushi and washed it down with a generous portion of Hennepin (a fine beer, that). I was thinking of tomorrow's inevitable gorging and I had a brilliant idea. Turkey Sushi. If I had any photoshopping skillz, I'd have a really funny picture of a piece of sushi with a cartoon turkey head sticking out of it. Anyway, the only thing I can't figure out is the seaweed. I'm not

Blogging tools in Welcome JoeUser Forums

Is this my first post? Well anyways, I use Movable Type for my blog, but JoeUser appears to have several fantastic and somewhat unique features that I'd like to explore using. Chief among them are the built in referal listing system, rating system, and the way people access archives (being able to go to the "Next Page" of posts is one of the most obvious, yet oddly missing, features a weblog should have). Anyway, I just wanted to play around with JoeUser for a bit to get a feel for ho
