    And of course, in war there are the lunatics and fanatics. Take Adolf Hitler who said, “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it".

    Withholding such trivial information can mean many things... it is because who and what we were in the past make who and what we are today.

    Ironic isn't it. A "Pinoy" who says he believes in the "PINOY CAN" yet he lives in Australia.

    Another example of the Filipino CANNED.

    When Albert Einstein was a student, everyone thought he was a lunatic.

    You might also want to mention the same person gave us the ability to wipe out the entire planet hundreds of times over and left in the hands of people itching to use them.

    Genius or lunatic. That is a fine line to cross.

    Only because one side had it then. It was either the Allies or the Nazis who would possess the technology for the atom bomb during the early 1940s.

    Remember what happened during the Cold War years? Remember how close to WW3 the world was with the Cuban missile crisis?

    What do you think will happen once the terrorists have a working nuke? I don't think they would stop at saber rattling tactics, do you?

    It's actually Joseph Goebbels. And its the so-called "Big Lie" technique of propaganda.

    Einstein's contribution was mainly theoretical....the interconversion concept of mass and energy.

    The man that should get credit and whose accomplishments make it possible to make a nuclear bomb is Enrico Fermi.

    I don't have more reliable related literature, but here's a bit. Technically, Albert Einstein didn't invent the atom bomb.

    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Did_Albert...he_atomic_bomb

    But he did predict the energy release by fission.

    Now, are you implying that Albert Einstein should've avoided theorizing E=MC˛ to prevent the creation of the atom bomb? That's unfair for a theoretical physicist like him. After all, what he did was purely academic. It's more fair to blame the politicians who proposed it. Like sir Gerbo said, "give the guy some credit".

    Here we go to the "what would the world be like" argument again. Anyway, WWII is over before teh interwebs was born and WWIII hasn't happened yet.

    Per’tua Oil and Metal Treatment Additive

    In 1994 Simon launched his version of Tribotech* in the Philippines under the brand name Per’tua which is an abridgement of the word “perpetual” which connotes eternal life --- eternal life for the machine.

    The revolutionary oil and metal treatment that keeps all types of engine performing better than new (given no blow-by). Inside the engine, it polarizes the interfacing metals making them repel each other therefore contact is prevented and friction nullified. This phenomenal result make the treated machine perform at its peak efficiency much better than when without Per'tua.

    Per'tua Oil and Metal Treatment significantly reduces metal-to-metal friction at molecular level and defer formation of inherent dissolve solids like gums, varnish, paraffin, sludge and carbon deposits. With these special characteristics, oil changes intervals shall be longer.

    Packaging of Per’tua Oil additive is per can of 320 ml packed in cases of 24 cans, or metal/plastic pail of 20 liter
    Another product (REAL and EXISTING) made by a Pinoy by dreaming BIG and using his creativity instead of wallowing in pessimism, crab mentality and negativity.

    Ironic because a former Pinoy (British or Australian) is more optimistic (for his former country) that a Pinoy in the Philippines who is mired in darkness, pessimism and negativity...

    I'm very much guilty of this, you can ask redorange about that. I'm very very pessimistic about what is achievable in this country. But it's more on the deeper stuff in life; more complicated than an engine can ever be.

    Einstein's theories are in fact recognized globally by academic and scholastic institutions. Unless those who think they are better than Einstein, should challenge his theories in academic journals.

    So for me, whoever calls Einstein and Einstein's work lunacy (in contradiction to the acceptance-Einstein's arguments- made by credible institutions i.e Nobel Peace Prize by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences) are in fact, lunatics.

    the point of GH is that a pinoy who believes "The Filipino Can" leaves the P.I. to escape the P.I. to search for a better life outside the P.I

    if he really believes "The Filipno Can"...

    If he really believes in the P.I. and its people and sees a bright future, why didn't he stick around?
