Why are you trying so hard to convince some stranger not to use the internet for social purposes? Since you seem so fond of psychoanalysis, let me try my hand at it: you are insecure and afraid that your e-buddies from alt.ponies from 1987 won't like you if you post your pic to facebook. Correct? (About as sensical as yours are at least).
Don't get so bent out of shape, he is just another asshat who loves to bash what other people use because it makes him feel superior. He's like that guy who always brags about not owning a TV.
the rebuttal letter should have done the same, told *why* they believed in climate change. Instead, they basically just said "there's 255 of us and you better believe us or bad things will happen!
That has never worked before and will never work in the future. Everyone who will listen to reason knows the argument for and against, but the other 99% of people only look at the people saying it before deciding. The debate now is actually a fight for the minds of people who don't really give a fuck and want some fanservice.
Maybe the writers and producers have their own ideas, and as one perceived evil falls apart, they focus on the next. Nah, it can't be that they fancy themselves artist, it's because they are getting payed by Columbians!
There are a few problems with that. It might work for books that are sold in volumes, but all the textbooks I've had were combined into one, huge 1500 page, 40lbs volume. I used the same book (or two books, because they changed the edition after the Calc I [I guess all of math was rewritten over that summer]) for all three Calc classes. The second problem is that everyone uses financial aid, and they don't get the refund for a couple of months after it is dispersed. They get a voucher to buy at the bookstore by then, or it's Someone Else's Money and they don't care about spending it.
The only think that the inability to resell might cause is for them to stop rearranging the problems and calling it a new edition, so it will probably still save them money in the long run. They can even sell chapters individually now. Also, many courses require online bullshit these days because professors don't want to grade papers, so the publishers get 70$+ even with a used book.
(As an aside, I would like to note that reselling your books is a scam anyway. The big ad outside of the campus bookstore claims that you can get `up to 30%' back on text books that will be used next year. Though I never sell back my books [just to deprive B&N of the profit], I know that for a 250$ calc book, you will probably only get 40$ for it, and they only give a 15% discount on used books).
But it is possible for you to make that snowman, likewise, it is possible for that omnipotent being to make a proof that he doesn't exist. Even if he chooses not to, it is still possible. Thus, the claim that `no proof of the nonexistence of god is possible' is false.
Notice the difference between stretagy and stratagy? It's a troll. (And the `autistic' bit gives it away as a member of a certain imageboard, probably).
The constitution may not protect against the decisions of a private entity on it's own property, it's still a disappointing attitude for said private entity to take.
That is not the meaning of deterrence. You are describing defense. A thief who fears being shot is less likely to invade a home that he thinks might have a gun. Low hanging fruit gets eaten first.
That said, though I also have a gun, I would not use it to defend against a thief. If the choice is between them stealing my TV and me killing them, then I will help them load it up myself. I'm not going to take the life of another person over a 500$ loss and a little aggravation. (There are several things that would justify that, like a kidnapper or serial killer or other (very) unlikely occurrences that would make killing them acceptable.)
Pretty much every country in history has been better than NK. Deal with it.
it certainly is relevant
No, it isn't. Spouting random nonsense about how shitty the US healthcare is has no merit to this discussion and it off-the-wall and retarded, you crazy, Kimichi-feltching fuck.
That is totally irrelevant and off topic, not to mention, I don't give a FUCK. You should compare the healthcare of NK to that of the US and stay on topic. Write.
Better than NK's in every respect. Not all cultures are equal; ones that crush individuals are inferior to those that promote equality. (Now you are going to reply, like you always do, with something along the lines of `yeah, well, fuck the usa, the are far more evil than stalin! those purges were just part of soviet culture, but the usa is evil'.
Do you honestly think that U.S. has the best laws in the world?
Nice strawman\red herring\lots of other shit..., cockpuppet. Have an ad hominem. You are wrong because you are an idiot. Aren't logical fallacies fun?
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? Is slavery okay if it takes place in the context of a different culture? Only idiots accept relativism.
BTW, if you are going to sockpuppet, make it less obvious. Everyone knows that you are `InsightIn140Bytes', `Hazel Bergeron' and a long list of other apologist fools.
People leaving Youtube because Google is being a cunt would hurt their ad revenue. They still sell us to the advertisers, without the users, they won't see a dime.
. To me if a language is evolving it would become better at conveying better specific meaning with fewer, simpler phonemes.
Aside from the fact that things almost never get simpler with evolution, this is a terrible idea. Ever look at Japanese? They have so few sounds that they can't even write unambiguously without using kanji due to having so many homonyms.

No they can't! That's a waste of time for everyone and too much of a security risk.
Because there is no `Shill' mod.

Nice job affirming the consequent. (social_media -> social_life) does not >imply (social_life -> social_media).

Deterrence.
Attitudes like yours are the reason it took so long for us to get around to curing this disease in the first place.
Are you sure that it doesn't have more to do with the fact that it is incredibly difficult?
it certainly is relevant
No, it isn't. Spouting random nonsense about how shitty the US healthcare is has no merit to this discussion and it off-the-wall and retarded, you crazy, Kimichi-feltching fuck.

centrifugal force
No such thing. Only the reaction to the centripetal force and acceleration changing.

What?
Ah yes, the Fallout model, I like it already.
