    The only argument that'd support the frackin' case would be an economic one.

    I didn't claim it'd replace anything. You made me curious though, how does a historical fact indicate the future? :)

    Everything humans do is "economic".

    Because humans start using solutions that are in fact better. If they are significantly better then the adaption rate is faster. Very obvious examples are OO programming and cell phones. So something that has been around for a long time that doesn't have a significant market share is not going to get it unless there is a very significant change in what it is. One can compare it to the growth of cell phones versus satellite phones. If cell phones had never been invented satellite phones would not have filled the void - they would still be a small niche market.

      Please don't ever invite me to your house. That would be an extremely annoying conversation.

      So you presume that when you make an assertion in someone's home that they should just assume that it must be absolutely true and unquestionable? And presumably you get annoyed when anyone questions you as well. So exactly how many dinner parties do you get invited to?

        It's pretty clear you don't know how to have a conversation.

                How many dinner parties I get invited to is a serious and relevant question? The only way that is true is if you are trying to court me. I respectfully decline.

                  (Not exactly sure who 'you' are but given that it is a different alias I will treat is as such.) Did you read the entire subthread? First question from me was "Just curious, for the later your response in this hypothetical discussion at home would be what exactly?" Which was derived from the following comment "Do people do that when having a conversation with company in their home?" Do you think that "dinner party" is an inappropriate venue for a specific case of "company in their home"? And one which people would NOT discuss such topics? If so then is there an alternative venue which is more appropriate - in ones home of course.

                    (gas/petrol) Fracking is an insult to human intelligence. It is an insult that governments allow that to happen to local communities. It destroys water sources (Texas), it destroy good clean arable land (at least in Québec and in England) by sucking good water and replacing it with water fill with chemicals to "help" get the gas/petrol out.

                    I'd rather be phishing!

                    Wow, and since I had no context on what the protest was about, I read "Fracking" as an expletive replacement word describing the protesters existence that was causing problems. You often hear on TV "What the frack!" and you immediately know the word that would have been bleeped out if it had actually been said.

                      I wasn't, I was thinking of the sci-fi channel "prequel" series that came out long after BSG was played out (twice) describing the conditions that brought about BSG when I made my earlier post. Then I realized I had read "am I" instead of "I am" in your statement, so maybe your claim you are the only one can still stand. I am really having trouble reading, you said "see's" and I read "see's this, who"!! I really doubt that in this whole world there is no-one who can "see", that won't think about BSG at some time, especially when you bring it up! :-D

                      glennPattonWork didn't write, but I read:

                      PS I've totally forgotten what the "prequel" series was called, it certainly didn't last as long as either BSG series did. PPS That's not nice, I "pre" apologize for poking a little fun at you. I can screw up a post just as well myself. (That's assuming what I originally read was what you really meant. If you really meant what you wrote, then I'll just agree to disagree.)

                        Umm, way too much though for a Friday morning I think I typed that on my S3 so I can be forgiven for fat fingering, but not English errors. Nice to know someone besides the Darlek is an English critic. :sigh: I think the use Frack In BSG is most common in Ronald Moore version & Caprica.... From what I remember from the original it was used just, not very much. :)

                          I usually let grammar go. Don't know what came over me with yours, I just started teasing and couldn't stop.
