Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Scientists find largest meteorite impact in the British Isles

Researchers tracked down the impact site of an ancient meteorite by studying the alignment patterns of ancient debris sprayed in all directions by the violent collision. Researchers have located the epicenter of an ancient meteorite impact along the Scottish coast, the largest impact in the British Isles. Scientists first identified evidence of the impact in 2008, but they were unable to pin down the exact location of the crater. Over the last decade, researchers conducted field studies and analyzed rock samples in the lab. Their findings allowed them to identify...

The photo with the article looks like the crater is about 100' long. WTF?

100' crater isn't that large but it says "The largest impact in the British Isles".

According to the article, "the 25-mile-wide crater" was covered up by "new rock and water". What if a meteorite hit say, NYC, DC, Chicongo, Deriot, and left a 25 mile crater? Hell, I'd buy the beer for the first round!

Maybe it hit at a low angle, almost parallel to the ground.

Meteorites are quite valuable, worth as much as $1,000 per gram, according to the LiveScience website. Kellyco Metal Detectors posted on eBay that it can sell for $300 per gram or more — meaning 1 pound could be worth $1 million. "Meteorites are rarer than gold, platinum, diamonds or emeralds

One of the best places to look for and find meteorites is Antarctica. They are easy to spot lying on the ice or snow.
