Ok, nevermind. I understand now. I just don't have any 400 watt MH bulbs. I would have to pick some up. The BCNL reps also don't recommend running just one light. They were saying both should be run at the same time.

Cool, I just have the two 400 watt HPS lights. You saying I should use one of those?

Day 11 I have some new pictures here. Yesterday I woke up to find some of the leaves curling up on the sides. I was told by BCNL that this was most likely a water issue (lack of water). However, I was concerned that it might also be a result of the ppm in my res raising from evaporating water...

Im not sure what "small ancillary issue" you are referring to, but certainly where to place children who are trapped in an unhealthy and often abusive system is not one of these small ancillary issues. You have not proven that gay parenting harms children, and until you do so, you are presenting...

Cool14001, I know it seems somehow wrong to associate profit with the sick and dying, but in reality, it has been all profit motive that has driven the explosion in healthcare advances throughout the past century. I'm sure people along the way were also doing it to contribute to humanity, but...

No, they would charge me to drive on them. Yes. I agree that using the power of the government to benefit yourself at the expense of others is evil. This wouldn't happen where there is no government. We once legally bought and sold human beings, and legally raped them and forced them to...

Are you saying it's ethically OK for the government to arrest you and take you to jail for smoking pot ONLY IF they first create a law that bans the substance? Your logic fails you on ethical grounds. Yes, if you enter into a voluntary contract with anyone or any company, and then break that...

Not a magical mitigating effect, just a regular mitigating effect. Surely children who are older and more thoroughly damaged will not benefit as greatly from being put into an adoptive home (gay or straight) than their much younger counterparts, but leaving them in the broken system is not the...

Hey Rick, we may have reached an impasse here due to our different views on the way government operates and the legitimacy of government itself. I only believe in voluntary relationships and contracts. I don't believe the government has a place in ANY of these because it is an institution...

Questioning the credibility of a source is certainly valid. I do not know anything about the organization or their purported agendas. Regardless, you need to establish a few things in your argument before I can accept your presuppositions... 1. If you are proposing that children be left in a...

The government doesn't grant us any freedom, it only takes freedom away or gives us back freedoms it once stole. All marriage is is a written contract between two committed individuals that essentially unifies them by protecting their mutual interests. This is a freedom EVERYONE should have. The...

I would agree with RickWhite that redistribution of wealth is blatant theft by the federal government. On the other hand, I think charity and handouts can be a wonderful thing. I just don't want to be forced to be charitable by the government. On the statement of "ponying up for public...

Any relationship that you begin voluntarily can also be ended voluntarily. The belief that your relationship with the IRS is a voluntary one is simply not true because you cannot choose to disengage from the relationship. If you do, you will be kidnapped and taken to jail. That is not...

Yes fdd2blk, saying "same sex marriage" is in itself discriminatory because it excludes "opposite sex marriage" in strict semantic terms. My beef with your criticism is... Given the context of everything I stated on this topic, do you really believe I was advocating for two seperate standards of...

Being argumentative is not attacking. You're allowed to be argumentative in a debate which is essentially... an argument. Im sorry that you interpreted that as me attacking you, which is certainly not the direction I was trying to go. You were not really communicating your point very...

1. Sorry, where did you see that I don't want to use the term homosexuality? 2. You expressed nothing here but bigoted opinions which you are entitled to have. You have not answered any of my criticisms because I don't believe you are equipped to do so. 3. I never advocated removing the...

Are you reading what I'm writing? 1. I did not attack you anywhere in anything I've written. I'm just patiently examining your points. Don't look for personal attacks where there are none. No need to be defensive when someone is questioning your position. 2. You brought me a long way on...

Actually, I'm the one wanting to call marriage, marriage and not trying to have a seperate category for gays, which is descriminatory. Are you saying I shouldn't use the phrases "same sex marriage" or "gay marriage" in the context of a debate that explicitly is about one group's attempt to...

Sorry, Im trying to understand where you are coming from, but saying "allowing same sex marriage descriminates against gays" is equivalent to saying "allowing gay people to get married descriminates against gay people". I'm not following you, and that's definitely not what I was trying to say...

Same sex marriage and gay marriage are the same thing.
