    Then what was your complaint about then?

    I merely mentioned that nuclear power would be the most efficient clean power generation method compared to other methods such as solar and wind. And that once we have fusion power it would be even better. Then I mentioned that we do have nuclear power methods that can even burn nuclear waste as fuel and end up not producing radioactive nuclear waste products.

    You are free to agree or disagree and even counter my claims. Yet instead you resorted to your "You are not a nuclear physicist. It is a very complex topic, blah blah blah"

    If you are not informed enough to make cogent comments on the topic you are free to not respond or just to say "I am not qualified to comment on that" - I will take your word on your ignorance. But I even gave you some links to support my claim so you did not have to take my word on the subject.

      What "complaint"?

      "It ain't necessarily so
      The things that you're liable
      To read in the Bible
      It ain't necessarily so
      ."

        "Are you a nuclear physicist?" "The topic is highly complex and neither of us is re competent to make pronouncements on the the technicalities of these reactors. So please stop posturing and affecting some detailed understanding"

          Fair enough.
          But flattery can get most folks mostly anywhere!
          I'll bet that you're looking wonderful this morning!
          Sadly I'm not. Old and cranky, me.

            Yeah, and I don't believe you've come here to seek "what truth about Jesus might be found" - your posting history proves otherwise.
            ......because it doesn't agree with or support your church/political dogma?

              CP seems to think that this forum is all for Conservative Christians. I wonder about Liberal Christians or Conservative Atheists.

              But obviously an Independent Deist could be disbarred in his world.

                      Complaint: An expression of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment.

                      If you are going to quote someone quote them accurately do not paraphrase what they wrote.

                      Note the difference. That is a question. It is not a "complaint".

                      That is a statement that contains an observation It is not a "complaint"

                      Once again my observation that you really need a dictionary is shown to be accurate

                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            We can see who you look up to to speak for you.

                            You should learn to speak for yourself.

                                True!
                                Yet many of them seem to think that they're highly intelligent and educated folks.

                                It looks as if we are reducing down the right wingers in the UK at this time. Four prime ministers in one elected government has proved to be very bad process indeed.
