Roll on the 20th June

Look, I'm as eager as the next guy to attack PurePower and remind him that the USA is the only western government to have passed laws that punish thought crimes to deal with people with different belief systems to "the norm" in the same way they deal with terrorists.

Don't believe me? See bill HR 1955 was passed through US Congress during the Californian wild fires last year - some American's don't think the timing was a coincidence. Interestingly, of all the people who could help enforce this new bill, fire fighters were trained by the Homeland Security Department to spy on victims of fires for possibly violating this new bill. I could remind PurePower that the only way he could ever get Archer for having "bad thoughts" under any law would be in America. But I'd probably just be wasting my time. And I really think we need to do this on another thread.

I've already suggested we have a "bitchfest" thread. I quite enjoy these debates. But this isn't the place.

EDIT

OK, breaking my own rules again, I held back but I have to say it:
The "two VERY successful attorneys in" PurePower's "immediate family" should have given him the above lesson, not me. This is American law. My specialty is Australian law... sorry mate. I can tell anyone here that is not familiar with law that PurePower's interpretation of international law is almost as creative as the interpretation of the Qur'an used by extremist muslims to justify their actions. Sorry buddy, it wouldn't hold up in Australian court and the International Court will be too busy with the likes of Mugabe to deal with a 20 year old brat.

By the way, HR 1955 itself is a direct violation of the very international laws PurePower would use as his defense. Based on this I could have it thrown out of an American court pretty quickly too... you might want to call your legal team PurePower, I'm sure I could get them to muzzle you pretty quickly.

I could write pages of this shit but that would only make me as bad as PP

@All,

I have been testing a small prototype using K'NEX, Magnetix, and other small neos. The K'nex allowed me to make hundred of test adjustments quickly. My goal was to see if the unbalanced wheel  at a horizontal (9 - 3) level (most torque) could break the walls. 

@Larry - great to see someone doing something constructive. I need to get me some of these little kits to do some tests.
Are you able to post any vids of your tests? I might be able to provide some input if I see it in action... or maybe not, but it's worth a crack

Whoah Gentlemen, hold your horses for a second.

This thread is turning into open warfare. Threats to a person's liberty and privacy have no place here. This is NOT a public forum. It is Stefan's forum. If nothing else, please refrain from this kind of activity as a courtesy to our host.

There is nothing wrong with having disagreements on technical matters. That is what this forum is about.

Ad hominem attacks and threats have no place here as indeed they should have no place in a civilised society.

Is this too much to ask?

I am aware that tempers flare at times and I do not pronounce myself innocent of this. But when it gets this far it's time to step on the brakes.

So PLEASE, a little more courtesy and a little less antagonism.

Never, ever post when angry.
Just wait a long enough while...

Wow, you go away for a week or so and, all hell breaks loose.  My question to you, Purepower, what is you goal?  Obviously many here including myself have noticed a pattern with you.  You continue to mention this "fortune 500" company you work for.  How successful you are as well as implying all these amazing achievements.  If all this is true about you, why do you waste your valuable time as a globally successful tycoon on us?  Let us do our thing and keep to your own agenda in conquering the world with your big company.  Basicially, quit pissing in our cheerios "Mr. God Among Mortals".
