Do you think members of the US military will follow orders to shoot their countrymen?
Yes, if those "countrymen" don't put down their guns NOW!
The US government doesn't. That's why they made a treaty with Canada, that if Canada has a revolution, American solders will be sent to quell it, and if America has a revolution, Canadian solders will be sent to quell it.
Ah, you are a lunatic. Sorry about wasting your and my time.
You've gotta admit that your initial comment wasn't very clear. "thyroid treated children in germany".
It's well known that the Soviet authorities fucked up by not issuing iodine tablets in the days immediately following the accident (as iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days you better get on the job fast. Poland did and saw no increase in thyroid cancer after the accident).
Alone the thyroid treated children in germany are already far over 10,000.
Given that the thyroid cancer rate in the US (for example) seems to be about 13 per 100,000 people year and the population of Germany is about 81 million we'd expect about 10,530 thyroid cancer cases in Germany per year.
So 10,000 cases in children since 1986 is pretty damn low.
Seriously? You think the 5th largest economy in the world, with a debt/gdp ratio of 94% (cf EU average 93% USA, 101%, Japan 223%,) is "nearly bankrupt"?
In some countries, maybe there's some blame to be had for escaping taxes...but France is a whole other argument. I mean shit, 75% tax on the wealthiest has resulted in a lot of them just flat out leaving that country.
The top French income tax rate (on income over EUR 151,200) us 45%.
The scientific process requires that alternative (or unpopular) theories that seem to be supported by experimental observation be tolerated and given due consideration.
Exactly!
That's why it's fine to call someone who talks about "Electric Universe" a FRUITCAKE! Because he is.
They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
The argument that AGW skeptisism is a consequence of ignorance is just a warmist rationalization. A figment of their fevered imaginations.
No, the problem is that mostly rational people simply can't understand the crazy shit that goes on in the heads of RWA's, so we foolishly assume that they are stupid or ill-informed.
No, if the universe is made of anti-matter there is no positron, the electron has positive charge and the anti-particle of the electron has negative charge - maybe it's called the negatron.
(The electron is named after electricity, not vice-versa).
I've always been curious about this. Why can't we put all the waste on a rocket and send it to the Moon?. It shouldn't be that hard and would be cheaper than leaving it on Earth to cause future issues.
1. That would be stupid because the "waste" is actually "fuel".
2. That would stupid because polluting the moon is a shortsighted way of avoiding pollution on Earth.
3. That would be stupid because rockets sometimes don't get to where you send them.
4. That would be stupid because it would cost a fuck-ton of money.
I have a hard time believing wrong predictions of the globe being hotter than its ever been before when this is the coldest 6 months in over 100 years.
"The coldest six months in over 100 years" globally, or just in the Northern hemisphere? If it is the latter, it isn't necessarily inconsistent with AGW predictions.
Not even in "the Northern Hemisphere"., it's "For much of the country", i.e. parts of the USA.
Here in Western Europe (also, the last time I checked, in the Northern Hemisphere) the winter has been notably mild.

I was wondering if this was the case. I would have looked for myself, but the link was blocked from my work computer. Thanks for the info.
You work for the Koch brothers? :-)
The Tea Party wasn't "co-opted". It was always a Koch Brothers funded astroturf movement, you idiotic tool.
How sad, all my mod points gone.
The AC is, of course, correct.
So, why did they make the treaty then, do you suppose?
Oh, go on, what treaty is this anyway?
Do you think members of the US military will follow orders to shoot their countrymen?

I can't see why anyone would spend another dime on a pressurized water reactor again.
Because so far no-one has managed to demonstrate a successful commercial scale thorium reactor.
Lots of people seem to think that all thorium reactors are molten salt.
No.
People are planning/have already tried burning Thorium in:
Pebble bed reactors
CANDU
Sodium cooled breeders
PWR's
BWR's
Accelerator driven reactors...
India is has almost completed construction of what you say is "decades away".
Are you talking about the PFR at Kalpakkam?
Or the AHWR at Bhabha?
Because neither of them is a molten salt reactor.
This project demonstrates why we don't have breeder reactors.
Vladimir, he says: "What do you mean 'we', Amerikanski scum?"

Fuck France!
Just leave these cowardly idiots alone without access to Google services.
They would soon regret their attacks and stupid leftist laws.
You seme to have a shaky idea of how all this "making money" thing works.
Hint: you don't refuse to do business in a country that is the 5th largest economy in the world just because you think they are "cowards".
(And, by the way, it's pretty odd to describe people you think are attacking you as "cowards").
The French are nearly bankrupt. Wonder why.

encouraging genocide of anglophones in Rwanada
Aaaand, the prize for the weirdest summary of the Rwandan genocide goes to the AC over there.
Anglophones? Seriously?
"France is famous for its generous social benefits, somewhat relaxed work ethic"
That relaxed work ethic that gives France one of the highest GDP/hour worked in the world.
In some countries, maybe there's some blame to be had for escaping taxes...but France is a whole other argument. I mean shit, 75% tax on the wealthiest has resulted in a lot of them just flat out leaving that country.

Doublethink is hard, most of us can't do it.
Yeah that's definitely a complete and total refutation of the entire theory. Nevermind that Plasma Cosmology is real and backed by the IEEE,
We have sponsored cosmology now? What model does the NRA support?
Why not just be honest with all of us and say "HERETIC!"?
Nope, when we're honest we say FRUITCAKE!
The problem is not your ADSL running like a 28,8k modem.
The problem is Google's servers exploding in a nuclear fireball.
If there was more anti-matter than matter in the universe.... BOOM!
Then there would be no matter, only anti-matter.
No, if the universe is made of anti-matter there is no positron, the electron has positive charge and the anti-particle of the electron has negative charge - maybe it's called the negatron.

Ok? Any other questions?
No, no we don't. We are still emitting hazardous waste and not dealing with it. Get back to me when we're reprocessing fuel.
What do you mean "we", American?
Some of us do reprocess fuel.
Welcome to France.

In the US this is being reported as the coldest winter in 100 years for most of the country.

And this is relevant to global warming how?
Twitter and Pastebin have really made public mailing lists obsolete.
I have no opinion of the rest, but this bit needs a +1 Funny.
