    Real ones aren't either, incase you might be too busy watching Jersey Shore to notice the slow lingering decline of the US dollar? Where I would be without your great wisdom I can only wonder....

    maybe its not the weather that is out of whack, but our expectation of it. maybe the seasons have decided they don't want to conform any more to the three monthly slots we've allocated for them.

    Careful with that opinion, it could get you fired. ""Although the number of publicly dissenting scientists is growing, many young scientists furtively say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted—or worse. They have good reason to worry.

The opinion piece doesn't say the problem doesn't exist, it merely suggests CO2 isn't what is causing it. Of course THIS line of thinking won't generate billions in tax revenue by way of a carbon taxes.

  4. Laws? Huh? What are those? on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1

    Your argument (I use that term loosely) is beside the point. Hiring outside companies in order to skirt US immigration laws like that does have a strange side effect of pissing off other people and companies (mainly the ones abiding by the laws obviously). If Microsoft wants to enjoy the benefits of being able to operate in the US market, it should have to abide by the laws JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. Can you give a single reason why microsoft
