    don't forget that unions also contribute way more than corporations

    Dumbfuckery. If unions gave more money than corps, Democrats and Republicans would be falling over each other in the rush to kiss union asses and put the shiv in the backs of corporations, rather than the other way around.

    That's a myth dreamt up by people wanting to protect the environment, but who had never taken any higher-level math or engineering courses and had no clue how dynamic systems function.

    Was that at Arrogant Douchebag U? Must not have had remedial biology as an elective.

    They're not fragile at all. If you perturb them, it just re-stabilizes at a new equilibrium point.

    Like how New Zealand has "re-stabilized" with a quarter of its birds extinct after the introduction of rats.

    Simply put, Europeans won't stand for all the crap that happens over here.

    Spain, Ireland, and Greece have been taking it far harder, longer, and with less lube than the American citizen. Yeah, great, Greece just voted in a leftier government that has promised to renegotiate the predatory loans forced on them by German banks....but the new government is committed to staying on the Euro, making any real recovery impossible.

    Protip: it wasn't Reagan or either one of the Bush's.

    You named your post

    You need to Google the words Reagan and Amnesty, fucker of dumbs, which went far beyond anything Obama has proposed. Furthermore, if you weren't tripping on the shreds of your 10-pounds-of-bullshit-in-a-five-pound-sack, you'd be asking why Obama didn't do this in his first two years if he wanted to "pander", rather than deporting them at a faster rate than Bush, a fact you conveniently skipped over. This is obviously nothing more than setting up the Obamabot base into voting for Hillary "totally obliterate Iran" Clinton, along with his Very Sincere Proposals for paid leave and free-to-use community college.

    You wingers should really move to an island with the Obamabots who think Obama ended the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and fight it out so the problem resolves itself and we're left with a lot less stupidity in this world.

    The point is that climate change deniers are impossible to convince, regardless of the type and/or amount of proof gathered and presented. Because they have already decided what they are going to believe, reality be damned.

    Then the point was contradicted by the analogy.

    Democrats traditionally favor large government and using government assistance programs to buy votes of immigrants who in effect become their clients.

    Is that why Democrats have cut food stamps, killed a public option and have been trying to figure out a way to cut Social Security for 6 years, all the while deporting immigrants at a rate faster than Bush?

    Think that's unfair? Then name a nuclear power company that has rolled the full cost of ore mining, enrichment, plant construction, security, complete insurance coverage, and plant decommission into the rate it charges its customers. Oh, and storing the waste for thousands of years.

    2. Probably a net reduction in oil spills, because not having the pipeline would only force the oil to be transported on trains, not stop it.

    That's an old chestnut, but it requires ignoring:

    a) All pipelines have leaks and spills

    b) Not having a pipeline serves as a bottleneck on the destruction of the tar sands. Mining companies aren't going to process far beyond their transportation capacity as that's just throwing money away.

  16. Re:More proof on US Senate Set To Vote On Whether Climate Change Is a Hoax · · Score: 1

    Regardless of the scientific basis, the consensus view of the American public is that they do not want to sacrifice their lifestyles for the environment

    The only thing that would be sacrificed would be the profits of the fossil fuel industry. Wind and solar are already cost competitive with coal. And the costs of addressing climate change are insignificant next to the costs of not addressing it - which of course will result in a real sacrifice in the standard of living, as opposed to some winger boogyman.
