Quoting from Capitol Hill Blue is like quoting from the Weekly World News. It's reputation for accuracy is at about the same level. I'm surprised that it was not bat boy that had the run-in with the law.
Is there another source for this information? Quoting from CHB tells us more about the submitter and the submitter's reading habits than anything factual about the story.
I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where I excused anything.
You were the one making the moral equivalence between the single death of an abortionist more than a decade ago, and the continuing deaths due to fanatical Muslims today as if the one excused the other.
PESHAWAR: Violent new protests against cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad engulfed Pakistan yesterday, leaving Western businesses in flames and three people dead, including an eight-year-old boy.
Two people died in northwestern Peshawar city when police fired tear gas and shot in the air to quell around 50,000 demonstrators who torched a KFC outlet and trashed a Norwegian mobile phone company's offices.
Riots also flared for a second day in the historic city of Lahore, where another person was killed, and in at least half a dozen other towns across the world's second most populous Muslim nation.
Officials said more than 70 people, including a policeman, were wounded in the violence, sparked by the printing of the caricatures in a Danish newspaper in September and later in other Western countries, including Norway.
Well, I guess it's okay, if that happens a year ago, or two. This happened yesterday! Is that the logic?
15 Christians were killed by Muslims in Nigeria because cartoons were published in Denmark. Is that logic? I can't find a single reference to 15 "gynaecologists" being murdered at once ever. I asked for a cite if it had. The fact that once a long time ago one was killed is relevant as the perpetrator has been apprehended, convicted, and is serving his sentence and it appears that this type of crime is no longer happening. On the other hand, the fact that just yesterday 15 Christians were killed in Nigeria in retaliation for cartoons published in Denmark shows that this type of violence is not being dealt with and is an on-going problem.
Nigeria has issues with war, general lawlessness, abject corruption and violent crime - I think stating that it is fuelled by... Shariah (sic) is taking causality a step too far.
Does the fact that the American South has problems with "general lawlessness, abject corruption and violent crime" excuse the killing of abortionists? To use your own argument, perhaps it "is taking causality a step too far" to blame Christians for this simply because it was a Christian who did it. It seems to me as if you are heavily into the Muslim apologist stage.
But I'm sure able to remember the last time Christians murdered gynaecologists for doing their legal job.
Really? When was the last time that happened? Do you have a cite?
Just yesterday 15 Christians including three children and an priest were killed in Nigeria during as retaliation for the cartoons of Muhammad published in Denmark.
MAIDUGURI (Nigeria): Police and soldiers patrolled the deserted streets of this northern Nigerian town on Sunday, one day after thousands of Nigerian Muslims, protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed, attacked Christians and burned churches, killing at least 15 persons.
On Saturday, rioters burned down 15 churches in Maiduguri in a three-hour rampage before troops and police reinforcements restored order. Security forces arrested dozens of people suspected of taking part in the violence.
An Associated Press reporter on the scene saw mobs of Muslim protesters swarm through the city centre with machetes, sticks and iron rods. One group threw a tyre around one man, poured petrol on him and set him ablaze.
``Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters,'' Mr. Ezeoke said.
Witnesses said three children and a Catholic priest were among those killed.
Thousands of people have died in this West African country since 2000 in religious violence fuelled by the adoption of the strict Islamic or Shariah legal code by a dozen States in the north, seen by most Christians as a move to impose religious hegemony on non-Muslims.
Where's the comparable actions by Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus?
Imagine, for instance, if Senator McCarthy had been able to steam open every letter in the United States.
Before and during WWII all mail crossing an international border in or out of the US was steamed open and read. This included all mail, all packages, all telegrams, and all telephone calls. In addition to all mail being steamed open and read, it was censored if the Army deemed it to be necessary to support the goals of the Army. Letters would arrive with portions cut out by scissors. They also censored all international media -- radio, newspapers, and magazines both incoming and outgoing.
It's quite easy to imagine as it's already been done.
I agree that something's not right here. If the only evidence of fusion thay have is neutron production, then why is that not also an indicator of simple fission? Here's their description:
"The device is essentially a tabletop particle accelerator. At its heart are two opposing "pyroelectric" crystals that create a strong electric field when heated or cooled. The device is filled with deuterium gas -- a more massive cousin of hydrogen with an extra neutron in its nucleus. The electric field rips electrons from the gas, creating deuterium ions and accelerating them into a deuterium target on one of the crystals. When the particles smash into the target, neutrons are emitted, which is the telltale sign that nuclear fusion has occurred, according to Danon."
Neutrons are emitted when the deuterium target is hit. From where I'm sitting that look like fission which is easily obtained on a tabletop not the long sought-after fusion reaction. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron while normal hydrogen has one proton only. If the deuterium target is split and simply reverts to ordinary hydrogen by giving up the extra neutron, then you have fission and an extra neuton emission -- exactly what was observed. Where's the fusion? Where's the helium?
I have yet to hear a coherent argument that explains why "global warming" is bad. In almost every indicator a warmer climate will improve things. I hear arguments like "coral reefs are dying due to warmer waters." But this just means that new ones will form in cooler waters closer to the poles. Coral reefs off of Maryland anyone? Coral reefs are not static, they are created from living creatures and as some die off, new ones are created.
Most of the rest of the world? Not the British Empire, if that counts. But congratulations, America beat Saudi Arabia, and hmmm... a couple African dictatorships.
It's a little bit more than "a couple of African dictatorships." You are ignoring the fact that the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1863 preceded the abolution in the Netherlands and its colonies later in 1863, Puerto Rico in 1873, Cuba (extremely brutal conditions in the cane fields) in 1880 (as a colony of the Spanish as was Puerto Rico), Brazil in 1888 (also very brutal), and China in 1910 among others. Those countries include a significant portion of the world's population.
Google should send a bill to the next paper that sues them and demand $X for continued links to their stories and say that if they don't pay then Google won't continue to link to them and drive new readers their way. I can't believe how stupid the (legal department at) the papers are in this.
Also, fair use says that companies that profit off of other's copyrighted work, and especially companies who diminish the profits of the copyright holders, is unlikely to have a judge rule in their favor.
But Google doesn't profit off of it (yet) and it not only doesn't diminish the profits of the copyright holders, it increases their profits. I certainly go to news sites I never would have in the past because of a link from Google News and eyes on ads is their business model.
None of the four you mention as alternatives have had a book they wrote pulled by the publisher because of inaccuracies in it. Both of the books in the parent comment have been. That's why "those" examples.
As a point of information, while the US totally dominates total greenhouse emissions, we aren't #1 per capita, we are just #6. We are behind Paraguay, Luxembourg, Jamacia, Belize, and Australia.
We are at least number 8. The chart you linked to left out China and India. How many other major polluters did that chart leave out?

How about a strip of masking tape around you and your desk and a pretend door? Would that be any better?
That's correct. Rush's audio is streamed from akamai.com's servers which are blocked.

Yes, but that record shows that the temperature increases often preceded the rise in CO2. Correlation is not causation.
I also notice that the rise in temperature precedes the rise in CO2 for the most part of that graph.
On that chart, the timeline goes right-to-left, with the older record on the right.

At least get the correction right.
