What is it with Catholic Priests?

[giblets]

Actually, I did work out the correct answer.

All HC said is look at the momentum.

You guys aren't interested in admitting that maybe Ben isn't so stupid after all.

One of the questions asked for the velocity of the box, so you did in fact give a wrong answer. It's a pretty simple problem to begin with so I don't see how partial credit is something to brag about.

What partial credit?

I gave the whole correct answer.

Oh, you mean on your second try after HC pointed out what you did wrong the first time?

[giblets]

I can't wait to see Ben's answer to this one.

As for that other question:

L = u R2 ^2/4 pi R1

That's for your inductance

C = 4 pi e R

So omega is:

1/sqrt u R2^2/ 4pi R1 x 4 pi x R

Omega is C/ R1 x sqrt (R2/R)

Where R is the radius of the wire.

What, in not assuming it was a fixed point? Yeah, I didn't think the question was very clear that the box wasn't a fixed point. I thought it was just a simple pendulum. Then I corrected it.

Your need of clarification stemmed from a lack of understanding.

Of the question, not the physics behind it.

I think it's my turn to ask the amazing gribbler a question.

Altair is 19h50m in Right Ascension, +8 deg.52' in Declination and a distance of 15.7 light years away.

What would the coordinates of Altair be in light years if the sun were at the center of a 0/0/0 cartesian grid?

I have no education in astronomy and don't pretend to know anything about it.

But it's 7.16/-13.76/2.42

This isn't dimensionally correct. HINT: L*C = u*e
You're looking for a speed.

So you are saying that this statement is false:

"Frictional force is proportional to the weight of the objects and the coefficient of friction"

No, I was talking about another statement, which I quoted in my post.

Personally, I don't much like being called a fraud. I suspect you don't like that either.

Which relates to the statement you quoted how?

I did well, but it's been 10 years since I've done it.

All I'm asking is that you respect the work that I have done. That's it.

So just say that you are not great at physics, that you once were but might be rusty. Giving wrong answers, and making mistakes on trivial things, and then insisting that you are right doesn't deserve respect.

Then why are you here?

Read all the sentence and make sense of it: I couldn't care less about your actual level of physics prowess, but don't claim you are great unless you can prove it.

You obviously do care because you take pleasure in pointing out where I've made a mistake, because it makes Nestor look better.

No, if you had said you didn't remember much about physics, and then attempted the problem, and when shown you were wrong ADMITTED so, then nothing of this would have happened. If you really can't tell that I'm trying to get you to see this, and think I enjoy this, too bad for you. And this isn't making me look good, believe me.

Would you like it if people did the same to you?

What? Point out where I'm wrong? Of course. Only, when people do that, I say thanks, not argue that I wasn't wrong.

What if I said NEs was a complete fraud? That he was retarded and an idiot?

Then I'd tell you to provide evidence or shut the **** up.

I think personally, you are being very two faced here. On one hand you tell us you don't care, but on the other hand you think it's ok.

I'll just ignore any points you make by taking my words out of context. It gets boring to have to say the same thing more than three times.

So high and mighty, all wise nestor.

I asked you didn't answer. Do you believe you have been fair to me?

Yes, I have. More than fair. And I've been ignoring you calling me names when you clearly haven't corresponded. How's that for fair?

Gee... you have to love that BK has totally changed the focus of the thread away from the OP... which was that the priests suck and sin. But go ahead and argue meaningless points when the reality is, yet another example of how priests of his religion are pond scum

[DinoDoc]

Gee... you have to love that BK has totally changed the focus of the thread away from the OP... which was that the priests suck and sin.

Why is BK ****ting on this thread an excuse for you to indulge in bigotry?

[Ming]

Bigotry... nahhhh.... just a simple fact! The story is yet another example that those who are expected to be moral compasses for their flocks are not really good examples at all. Across the world, we continue to see that the church is failing it's members.
