Train Derails and Explodes in Canada
A train carrying petroleum products derailed and exploded Saturday morning in a town in Quebec. Videos, apparently shot by witnesses, show billowing flames and secondary explosions.
It was not immediately clear Saturday whether the explosions, in the Canadian town of Lac Mégantic, had caused any injuries or deaths. Fire officials told Reuters that 30 buildings had been destroyed in the town’s center.

Re: Train Derails and Explodes in Canada

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Ban trains.
They are clearly too dangerous for "civilized society."

Don't blame the train. It is the curse of the tar sands.

What I mean is, it would be nice if you went and did something that might mitigate the likelihood of you acting like a edgy, defensive fanatic when you come into this forum. (Definition of a fanatic: someone who cannot change his mind and will not change the subject.) And only a fanatic could see this thread and feel compelled to derail it into yet another rant about how his oppressive government wants to restrict his constitutional right to own a rack of M249s.Collector1337 wrote:?Ian wrote:Go get laid.

The cars filled with fuel somehow became uncoupled, causing them to roll downhill into the town and derail, said the spokesman, Joe McGonigle.
"It seems that the brakes were tight on locomotives," Mr McGonigle told La Presse. "We found the locomotives higher up, half a mile (800m) away."

Of course, given the subject, derails may be particularly appropriate to this thread.

This is the first time in weeks and at least 50 to 100 posts that I've even mentioned moderation. I brought it up in a lighthearted manner because the thread title just begged for it. I didn't shoehorn in some agenda that I'm always going on and on about.Warren Dew wrote:Seems to me you were the first one to post a reply along those lines.Robert_S wrote:I gotta concur with Ian.Ian wrote:What I mean is, it would be nice if you went and did something that might mitigate the likelihood of you acting like a edgy, defensive fanatic when you come into this forum.
