Earth 2

I know you didn't just call me a PIG! Oh no, you didn't do that, right???

I'm leaving, unless the administration here can see fit to create a more welcome environment for those us us who revere the real story behind the Avocado. Maybe someone could look into creating a subforum for this very purpose.

In the meantime, Snoopy, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this. I am sure I will see you around the boards in conversations where we can be respectful of one another's beliefs.

May your Avocado be blessed with the juice of the Lemon and the Essence of Jalapenos.

InPeace,
InLove

I'll take that to be a No then!:)

If something is killing your pig it means that it is causing you great angst/anxiety/frustration.

I'll see you on the newly created Root Vegetables sub forum where hopefully we can discuss our differences in an adult and fragrant atmosphere.

Oink.

Wow. I had no idea! Thank you, Snoopy. And maybe the new subforum won't be needed, after all. I have no real desire to slice the Avocado into at this point. Maybe the situation just isn't that ripe yet. And I do look forward to the day when we mash all our Avocados into one big dip. Thanks, again, Snoopy. I learned something here. :)

InPeace,
InLove
 
Yes so near on the forum but an ocean of guacamole apart:(

In my culture this expression has very specific meaning and would not be said in public places. Thank you.

Oh, I do apologize, Snoopy. I didn't realize, but now that I think about it....

On the other hand :)D) I do understand, because in my culture, its meaning is precious, so if you were to say in your culture this had a derogatory connotation or was outright blasphemy, you might become a political target. So it is good to know what NOT to say in particular situations. Is that a negative statement? (Sorry, couldn't resist).

unless you bring a bottle of good tequila that is :D (afterward no one can remememberer wtf u.............. (snores)
 
Oh how brilliant. Now give it 50 years and we will be up there mining, cutting down trees, dumping barrels of green goo and killing anything that moves and doesn't.

I must look up the word pessimist one day.

40 degrees Celsius? Oh, man! I was ready to pack my bags, pre-flight, until I realized that I already live in Texas. That's about as warm as I wanna get!

Arizona gets hotter than that...

Not to worry, even approaching the speed of light, It would take twenty some years to get there. Meanwhile the earth will have aged by 1500 years. By the time the crews returned with the raw materials, 3000 plus years will have passed on earth, and if we're still around, we'd probably look at them as a primitive curiosity ("and what is all the junk you brought back with you?")

edit: more reasons to give you hope. At 1.5 times the radius of Earth 1, Earth 2 would be five times the size of our Earth. So, a 100 lbs man would weigh over 500 lbs there, and instead of a realitively light 14.7 Psi atmospheric pressure, it would be greater than 60-75 Psi there (the equivelent of being 90-120 feet below the surface of the sea). So, once a crew got there, if they could survive any length of time and adapt to the new conditions, they could never really come back to Earth 1 for long. (they'd be physiologically altered). Sure they'd be five times stronger than us back here, but they'd have to wear a special "space suit" just to keep from suffering explosive decompression, or having their blood boil, or getting enough oxygen under pressure to even breath.

So, in short, it would be a one way trip.
