I believe his logic can best be explained as:

Umm, no.... I saw the ABC interview with Gibson where he specifically states he does not blame the Jews for Jesus's death. His father is the wackjob that denies the holicaust and blames Jews, not Mel himself.

Nothing personal; you're just repeating what you've been told, but you have been told wrong.
No, I'm stating something I've observed firsthand. Gee, Thank you for assuming I'm a not complete moron and stating it in a non-patronizing manner (Score: Sarcasm: +5)
The short answer is weather != climate. Blah, Blah, Blah.....
Wow, fasinating.... tell me, why is the sky blue?
I've been hearing this global warming crap for 20 years now, and global cooling the 10 years before that. I'm tired of this man's destroying the earth garbage that is only politically motivated and not based on resonable scientific debate. There's a constant release of "studies" claiming this or that and those that don't spout the party line get ripped apart. Call me when a study provides both sides of the story.

The attitude of a lot of people here on Slashdot with regards to global warming amazes me.
As soon as I can see an accurate 5 day weather forcast I'll start paying more attention. In the 70's and early 80's I was reading about the coming ice age. Then the story was the greenhouse gases were going to trap heat instead of block it and the new chicken little cry became global warming. Also I'd like some stats on how man-made pollution is affecting the environment more than volcanic eruptions before I give it any credence. Global warming has been eminent for over 20 years now and the only "proof" seems to be a 1 degree rise in average temp in the first half of the last century.
Let not my mail come to you as a surprise, I am contacting you based on the trust and confidence I reposed on you that you can be capable of executing this transaction to our mutual benefit and I know you will not betray me.
I am Mr. Andrew Fastow, the ex-CFO of Kenneth Lay, who was the former
president of my company Enron. My late boss was resigned on the January of 2002 while attempting to hide guilt through a failed business.
I confide in you to disclose my former boss's wealth acquired while in office as the president. The sum of $45B.USD (fourty five billion dollars) deposited into a security company abroad for safe-keepig by my former boss without making the real contents of the consignment that contains the fund known to the security company. The sum of $25B.USD (twenty five billion dollars) lodged into a special account in an oversea bank.
I am soliciting for your assistance in securing, investment/management of this fund because I am a young man with no experience in investment and management of fund.
Proceedures: 1. I have already made a contact with narcotics carriers that can conveniently convey the consignment that contains the fund from the security company to your designated address via a special arrangement. 2. You are required to furnish me with the following: i. Bank account n ii. Bank name, address, tel & fax n iii. Beneficiary name of the account n iv. Your direct tel & fax n v. Bail in sum of 10% of 10 million dollars US vi. Plausible Deniability
With the above informations, I shall commence the procedures for the transfer of the fund to you.
But before we can commence any of the above arrangement, an agreement must be reached first. I therefore advise you to treat this with utmost secrecy and urgency by reaching me immediately.
You have a problem with the US government acting in the best interest of US citizens?? Do you feel the same way about France acting in the best interest of French citizens? How about Germany acting in the best interest of German citizens? I think you have a problem with the US government not acting in according to your beliefs.
9/11 happened because of the attitude of Religious extremists. Do you blame Spain for 3/11 too?
They did. Have a nice little cardboard box with a piece of concrete in a small velvet pouch and certificate of authenticity. My friend's parents got it for me when they were on vacation.... in Arizona.
Oh, thanks for reminding me. I should have mentioned that proof that this is a political issue is that opponents of SUVs will rationalize their hatred of SUVs and the people who buy them by making vacuous claims of harm to themselves and the environment.
Yeap, SUVs are a political issue not an enviromental one. Apparently the standard of living in the US is such that people no longer have to worry about their own lives, they can now spend all their time telling other people what they should be doing.
Can someone point me to the latest upgrade or patch to the constitution? I just looked at mine and the word "anonymous" doesn't appear in it.

If there exists no appropriate forum,
Who determines what is "appropriate"? If noone will take your ad on TV, go to radio, if not radio, newspapers, books, pamplets, direct mail, shouting on street corners, or how about that new fangled innernet thingy. There is *always* a forum.
the usual response is "make your own."
Why would they need to make their own? They were rejected by one network and pretty much immediately found another one to broadcast it for them.
But have you considered that FCC rules prohibit citizens from creating their own such forums?
Prohibit? Really? They make it overly complicated and expensive, but noone is prohibited from operating a TV station or network (unless they've reached the market ownership limits).

Well, at least things like this will keep some of them out of politics.
I don't know why they would protest it ... but I'm sure somehow it's Bush's fault.
Swamp Gas?
What I can't figure out, seeing as this is a Michael story, how do we blame Bush for this?
