Cave of Crystals, Naica Mine Mexico.

I know I'd probably slip and impale myself :lol:

Yes, but what a way to go.
It's gorgeous.
I'm a bit bummed that I can't post any images.
Imageshack is being temperamental again.


Yeah those caves are really cool, but also REALLY hot. They're wearing cold suits and I think someone can only stay in the caves for maybe an hour before they overheat.

How is the heat produced?


The caves were actually originally filled with really a really hot hydrothermal fluid that the crystals precipitated from. I think they've actually allowed the caves to refill at this point as the crystals had stopped growing without it.

Yeah.

I just recently posted on a YouTube video where someone said "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." and I said, "Yeah that may be true, but you can kill a lot more people, a lot faster and a lot further away with an uzi or a handgun then you can with a knife"

Don't be so reckless,
Throw down your gun.

I might have to get some antrid.


Use pennyroyal, I don't know what they call it where you at as pennyroyal seems to have different meanings depending on what part of the world you are in. You want an herb called Mentha pulegium, it works great against ants.


Thank you. I'll look it up.

You know my problem with this Raleigh?

People don't follow rules, I don't follow rules but I follow more than some people. Consider this for a second, ok lets hypothetical say someone wants to do a mass shooting. Well a mass shooting is against the law, so if this someone is going to break the law to shoot you or me than whats preventing them from breaking the law and acquiring an illegal firearm? All you have done with gun control is create a scenario in which everyone who is law bidding at the place this hypothetical shooting is taking place is unarmed.

Ok so you could argue that we could prevent guns from being made illegally. Well my question is how well has that worked in preventing copyrighted downloads, child porn, illegals drugs, human trafficking, and so on. You can't eliminate crime, you can cut down on it but you can never eliminate it. So which one would be more beneficial to the United States? Allowing a few criminals to kill as many unarmed people as possible or providing a level playing field where law bidding citizens have the same tools as the criminals to prevent such a thing from happening.

Oh okay, I think I might have learned about that in this episode of Planet Earth:


I need to rewatch it, since I've apparently forgotten quite a bit.

Mass shooting wise, Australia is doing a lot better than America. We have fewer guns here. I think that speaks for itself.

Take it to the opposite extreme, where everyone has guns and you wind up with the Wild West.

It may take time, but getting rid of guns is the solution. Letting more people have them is just insane.

They're very lethal, dangerous things and they're only designed to do one thing.

I hated having to wear one.

Perhaps, I haven't really compared data but you can at least see how I logically came to that conclusion. I'll examine Australia and gun statistic and create a new opinion but right now I am going to bed.

Do you know how many gun related deaths in America last year? 12,942
In Australia (2012 - couldn't find any more recent statistics) 226

ADHD is getting the better of me. I have too many tabs opened, and my mind is racing with ten different things I want to delve into.

I don't have ADD/ADHD but I usually have 3 or 4 things going on at the same time, and I'll switch from one to the other, mid stream, depending on what I see or think about.
