Could it also be that Newton's work encompassed his life time, whereas Einstein's major work was a relatively brief period, after which, he had no major publications?
Not if the comparison is based on scientific accomplishment... validity doesn't depend on the amount of sweat invested.
Einstein was only 26 when he released his first three papers (in 1905), and he was intimately involved in theoretical physics until his death in '55, though some say he was a little behind the front line by then...
He also became much more involved in world affairs. I think they even considered inviting him to be President of Isreal.

Is he deserving of a flamer medal?
He may be a topic jedi but most of his topic's are all about how great the UK is and how bad the rest of the world is compared to the Uk.
I've rebutted a few of his posts but it seem's once his topics are posted he ignores them and focus's on posting more pro British/anti everyone else topics as fast as he can pull them off Guardian.
So I'm trying to be fare and asking for an opinion......should I nominate GB for a medal?
I know what those flamer medals do to a guy(Avro )so I hate to nominate someone who wasnt worthy of it or who couldnt handle the prestige that went along with it. 
Flame or no?
Talk to me folks. I hate to nominate someone if it's wrong or I am.

If he does exactly what you describe, I don't see how's that's flaming.
It might be something else, but it isn't that.
That's all I was wondering about....if I saw thing's different. I dont see too many reply's on his many topic's from him no matter how many responses he gets,that's all. Just how bad the rest of the world is compared to the UK. I went back a few and 1 reply on about 5 topics from him.
If it's not flaming then you should take the flamer medals away from a couple of other posters that dont deserve them just because they stick up for the states.

Isn't flaming being argumentative? Or ranting?
I see the same things you do, but by its very nature, he isn't arguing with people. ---Unless you count just the existence of a thread of his to be an argument. Which it could be seen as, but I don't know that he's pissing people off or attacking them.

Ya your right,it,s more of an anti Canadian,Israel,Germany,France,Italy,Holland,USA thing that he's stuck on.
I prolly missed a few countries but you get the gist of what I'm saying,multiple topics denouncing anything not British and no follow ups,if your going to post a topic shouldnt you stick around to debate with the folks posting back to the topic?.
dgthe3 @ Fri Nov 25, 2005 12:17 am
i get what your saying ziggy, i just never saw it that way. And of all the posts he's made, i've only seen 1 thread where he made a post that was not a news article. it hink it was regarding the quality of british vs american troops. Maybe he just watches to see what we think of what he says...or he may just post and run, so to speak. But in any case, i don't see it as flaming, just a bit annoying because you can't directly discuss anything with him

I don't know if he's anti-Canadian. He's here and posting all this British stuff, so I suspect he thinks everyone Canadian is at least quasi-British.

In related news, the World Religious Society decreed today that Abraham could kick the crap out of Mohammed adn Jesus.
Jaime_Souviens @ Fri Nov 25, 2005 7:09 pm
I don't know about that.
Abraham would be tough as hell, but Jesus was a young man. Mohammad, of course, would blow himself up and ruin it for everybody.
If you really want to kick ass, you need a god with special powers, like Krishna or Loki.
Apollo'd be good, but you don't see him around much anymore....
