Are engineers human?

I think this is a valid point of view. By my own proclivities, I would gladly argue politics and religion on whatever forum--no holds barred.

But yet...this forum is more addressed to technical questions. There are other forums such as Amazon Discussions on which one can air out the other issues, as I sometimes do. This leaves me undecided about including/excluding such topics on CR4.

One problem is determining suitable borderlines. Any philosophical reflections about science/engineering can easily lead into religious/political aspects, and cutoff points are likely to be arbitrary.

Thanks for the response Tornado, ironically, I don't even feel the need to talk about politics or religion, but , if someone did, let them go at it, no borderlines or cutoff points. The thing that pisses me off, is that this site tries to make engineers feel special, but if they step out of line just a little, they will be reprimanded. This to me seems to be a bit of an oxymoron. Engineers have been responsible for everything from the pyramids to the empire state building, and yet, they can't be trusted to police themselves on an online forum such as this. Nonsense. I suspect that the moderators may have gone to engineering school, but, for whatever reason, didn't get their degree, and therefore have an ax to grind.

Look on the bright side. At least they allow us to amuse ourselves through such postings as this one or this one.

Or,

And I quote from:

Waves, Prompts and Spirit!

"Waves and Forces portend to be the driving momenta of coperate generation of Heat, essentially for the binding together of electrons to the atoms electromagnetically, with the mediumistic enterprising norms of the photons, measured in Newton. Using computed values, Forceful vectors of point A to point B, may determine the reactions effective upon the formed joint AB, by considering the equilibrium of this joint, since these reactions have already been determined through the equilibrium of the entire Truss. Two types of checks would be obtainable, which could merely be used to find out the true value of all forces, acting upon the Joint, which may be Forces in Member and Forces in Reactions, in order to check that all joints are in Equilibrium. Waves are Forces of nature, which exercise profoundly and effective, tremendous pressure upon material substances, permitting only the equilibrium of all matter to evaluate and consequently determine the stability and foundational fundaments of all material structures, substantially. Material substance possess a Trickling Norms of Natural state of a precipitation gathering moss, in order to stabilize and settle into it"s completion stage. Condensation is the settling summation, produced after a trickling precipitation has attained to close, of it"s cycle. The Bose-Eistein Condensate (BEC) is the hypothetical illustration of the state of Material substance, such as Bosons which are confined in an external potential and consequently cooled to temperatures verry close to absolute Zero (0 k -273.15 C), invariably under such super-cooled Entripy Fields, a very large fraction of the atoms, etherisingly collapse and back again into the Lower Quantum State of the External Potential, at which Point inertia, Quantum Effects became obviously apparently visible on a macroscopic scale. Alpha Particles actively produces the decay engendered of The Beta Positron Recycle in order to Electromagnetize for Equilibrium as the value of Stability In Gravity! "BY THEIR WORKS, SHALL THEY BE KNOWN! Dr. OLUWAFEMI FISCHER."

You actually bothered to read it all the way through? Congratulations. I found it so longwinded and ludicrous I quit a quarter of the way through.

So, did you ever figure out what it is Dr. (of B*llsh*tology?) Fischer was rambling on about?

No, and I read it twice. If ignorance is bliss, this is one happy guy!

But, to the OP I say, it's not our forum. We just hang out here. There are numerous times when we do act like children and should be reined in.

I, for one, am very happy politics and religion are not embraced here. We have enough fanatics as it is without opening those cans-o-worms up too.

I can understand your happiness, if these threads were allowed to be posted, you, me, and a lot of others would be drawn in like moths to a flame. The posts would be perpetual and only answers that made sense would be banned.

Damn, the more I think I don't belong here, the more I belong here! I don't know when my wife was more upset, when she thought CR4 was a gateway to porn, or when she found out it wasn't.

Engineers are definitely not human/terrestrial. They all come from Moon Triton but they look like us. This is very confusing.

In my case I'm an extraterrestrial human cyborg from Tatooine. What would that make me?

Oh boy, oh boy, you're leaving yourself wide open there! "What would that make me?".

Be careful. Remember his mindclouding thingie that is only on hold right now .... waiting to be unleashed .. wait a minute, i see a couple of guests who are victims already ...

Alas,

As you have seen, his little experiment has had unexpected consequences. There seems to be a whole class/type of people who are far less resistant to the clouding of the brain and so spout illogical drivel, but have a keen ability to type. His mischief will pay him back someday, maybe. Like the time he fell into the pool and shorted himself out. Curled the hair on his human wife.

Thats it. Vader has to find a way to freeze the fingers !

Mind can be free. Can you imagine the frustration of an active mind in a body unable to type ! The mind boggles. Delicious though

Nirvana for the rest of us!!!!!!!!!!!

Not all of them. For example, there's at least one squirrel and a cat here on CR4, apparently.

Didn't know they were Engineers. Do you really think they are?? Well, well.. thanks for telling me.
