* they're already using it, just read some of the dip-shit posters on this thread. They couldn't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight when it comes to science, yet they're here spouting their stupidity like it means something.
While your post is modded as interesting, i'd put it down as either stupidly naive, or lying pander piece of shit. Can you seriously not understand the written word? Are you completely incompetent on following a fairly simple discussion?
People who are not scientists often use words in one way that have a very different meaning than what the words mean to scientists. If that's your complaint, and what gives you your hard on for denying the science... you're an idiot. Grow the fuck up, and try to become a useful member of the discussion. Gore was a mouthpiece, not much more; he was concerned about what was happening enough that he gave his time to try to make other people aware, and people recognized his face.
Your definition of science is flawed, although not surprising considering the incredible lack of scientific understanding the general population has... especially in the US.
No. Your attempt to elevate power struggles of con men to be the same as peer review, where knowledgeable people in the same field work to duplicate results is laughable, unless you consider a group of inmates on death row judging the newcomer in the same light. New religions form (forked, if you want to use your term) because a group within the old religion didn't have enough power and control over their "sheep," and wanted more. If a science changes, it's because new ideas that come from new observations or math. Your religious "peer review" is nothing more than the con men dividing up shares of the loot.
No. Science is a distillation of our observations of the universe and things within it. When we can make better observations, we can get a more precise understanding of what and how it happened. That is science. That is why Newton was right, until he wasn't; and why Einstein is right, until some future date where he will no longer be. The understanding changes as we make better observations.
Religion, on the other hand, only changes when some new group no longer wants to believe in the old dogma because it short changes their worldview. It has absolutely nothing to do with reality, or new observations... just new people wanting to be in power. To suggest with anything other than complete farcical satire that a religion is free of mistakes is ludicrous on it's face and any form of substance conceivable. Religion gets very little, if anything, correct...because it's not based on reality to start with, it's based on power hungry individuals or groups using the delusional proclivities and gullibility of the masses against those people to control them. Con men usually use the same tactics, religion is just more organized.
Why is it that we have so many nutcase conspiracy theory adherents in this country? Did the average IQ around here drop dramatically in the past few years? Jesus people, science is about evidence, not lame brained mentally deranged faith.... yet that's what more and more people who apparently won't take their medication keep putting up around here.
Yes, it looks like the DoJ is trying to crack down on scammers and frauds... who wouldn't applaud that? Seems to be quite a few people, especially ones that like living in their own fantasy land hating the government.
I do not think that means what you think that means. Wait, no, i know it doesn't mean what you think it means.
The first amendment is a restriction on THE GOVERNMENT from abridging a persons right to free speech. Google is NOT the government. Why is it that people who want to bring up the constitution, bill of rights, liberty and freedom and such almost never have a clue what they're talking about?
There's the rub.... actions speak louder than words, as long a you don't have your head buried so far up your six you can't see their actions. However, if you need words to appease your brain:
....and "God" speaking to someone is a sure sign we need more psychiatrists in the world not less.... and lots more lithium... lots, lots more lithium.
No, they didn't. The entire reason we have a constitution was that the confederacy (strong state, weak federal) was a complete an utter failure. That's what they new. If they didn't want a strong federal government, prefer the strength in the states, they would never have written the constitution. Go learn some real history, instead of the bullshith whoever taught you.
There's some reasons anonymous cowards don't put their name... they're usually trolls or lying sacks of shit. In the case of this article, it's both.... and all the other trolls come out to play.
Republicans and teabaggers have waged a 5 year war against a program (the ACA) that is fundamentally conservative, having been written by a conservative think tank, and already implemented in one state as a conservative program. THE only reason they're against it now is because of Obama. It shows that on the street the people who are against Obamacare think that the ACA is much better (because they've fallen for all the outright lies by conservatives) https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and http://pollingmatters.gallup.c...
Republicans have deluded people into believing their bullshit, and now when the program is actually living up to what was expected, the anonymous cowards who are so deluded into believing their own bullshith they can't understand why their lies and misbegotten fantasies aren't matching up with reality. Look on this thread. Al there are are a bunch of whiny little bitches who can't accept that the program is working. Why do all these people HATE their fellow countrymen so much? Have we bred so many sociopaths that this type of behavior is now considered normal?
When the hell did complete stupidity become something to strive for?
/. i've been a reader here for ten years now (or so). You have a small faction of radical conservatives/anarchists/fascists who routinely derail discussions with their political bullshit, demean the people around them, and routinely try to censor posts through moderation abuse. I expect more of you than to have bullshit stories based on some fucking delusional dumbass unwillingness to live in reality, and hatred for their fellow humans... especially ones so blatant as this. Are you news for nerds, or some radical fascist conservative propaganda rag?
No, there isn't. If you're serious, then i highly suspect you don't understand the meaning of the word "evidence." There isn't even evidence that he actually existed. There is written record of the church creating the mythology surrounding the name Jesus that they use today (The First Council of Nicaea), but that's about it. There is a complete absence of corroboration that he lived, as there are no Roman records (records common and abundant at the time) that cite him, and his first mention in the writing of Josephus is a fairly obvious forgery, it being neither in his tone or style of writing, and added into a margin, with the additional complete omission of any reference in a prior work by the historian.
....in other place with a former monopoly of state mandated Atheism....
Mandated for the state, not necessarily the people. What those states had against the organizations promoting religion was that they were a competing viewpoint, a rival political power if you will... which was something those states didn't want to allow. Both Russia and China have religious people in them, and it's fine until they do something that those countries feel is a threat to the governments power in said country.
People like him never know the meaning of words they use... they just use them because they know that their brain dead, head up ass friends will agree with them.
... which only shows you have no clue what "socialist" and "communist" means. There's another article a couple up the chain on why some of our politicians are scientifically illiterate.... i propose it starts with people who don't know the meaning of words, and are too fucking head-up-ass to bother to look them up before they use them.
So what you're saying is... if we just bury our head in the sand and just ignore these diseases, no one will ever get sick from them. Wow.... whoud'a thunk that'd werk!
Which is nice, but we're also not talking about the knee-jerk, hoard everything mental cases that bought into "the big bad government is coming" bullshit hysteria of the past 5 years.... we're talking hunters. I don't think you hunt moose with a 223, and while i can't find rules about pistols off hand, a 9mm would not be advisable... which is a big understatement; minimum effective would be a 44+. F&G has a page of info/suggestions (for rifle):
For a subsistence hunter, you want a weapon that will bring in food... not a toy that gives you a hard-on when you talk about it at the local bar.
No clue on the regs for transporting ammo, but i think you'd find the bigger problem the actual cost of transporting, although obviously someone is doing it... but it might not be the goldmine you think or more people would be doing it as hunting has been part of the Alaskan lifestyle for pretty much ever.
You haven't been keeping up on the current insanity/stupidity driven ammo market. Common game rounds are running $1+ per, if you can find it... and that here in the lower US. As for the "that, or ammo is insanely expensive where you hail from," we're talking about Alaska.... no need to guess.
Used to be, some years ago now, you could go onto Ebay and sell those Wu's Fighting Gauntlets for $4-5. The difference between those gloves and bitcoins is: bitcoins are absolutely useless against giant spiders the size of small huts.

That's why we call it science, not religion.

If there is no other life in our perceivable light cone, we just might be the universe's best shot at a colonizing species!
In that case, the universe is very severely fucked.
republican propaganda piece by the in house radical conservative trolls. When did /. become such a propaganda rag?
....because L Ron was a delusional narcissistic paranoid and pathological liar, and he was scared of the doctors.
