Well, you might have pointed out that the "models" are quite different. The evolutionary model is backed up with fossils and geology, the climatology model is backed up with -- math. The GW bandwagon American is just as fraught with those who deny any influences (yes, solar) that don't fit and make up (polar bear crisis, amphibian population crisis and others) false conclusions that will. Another little fact you neglect with those models is that the evolutionary model is by definition backwards compatible and the climate one fails miserably. Until the model is accurate in detailing what we know has happened, then it's useless to rely on it for prediction.
And, yes Virginia, I do understand both evolution and GW. That little bit of ad hominum won't fly.
"...that would require not pissing people off so badly..."
And, if your mere existence as a non-Muslim is sufficient to piss them off enough to blow you and themselves up, your response is what? To simply convert to avoid being the pisser? M'thinks not. They already want to kill me just because of what I do or don't believe. So, give me a plan -- an intelligent one -- that allows me to remain me and deal with those people.
Well, yes. And that would be why? Because of state's sloppy requirements allowed them to. Hmm. Make the requirements more rigid and uniform and you reduce the problem.
So, his producing context against your assertion makes you jump right into ad hominum? Rand didn't like those who behave that way either. She thought is was a sign of mental weakness.
"Both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration concluded that the ICC is a seriously flawed institution that the U.S. should not join. Regrettably, the Rome Statute establishing the ICC broke with long-standing international legal precedent by asserting ICC jurisdiction over nationals and military personnel from states that are not party to the treaty. This forced the U.S. to take unusual steps to protect its people from the ICC."
You seem to be missing a key component in your skreed. Technological advances. Only those will save the day. Even if we did eliminate our excess CO2 production right now, it would do nothing to keep human interference from crapping the place. Only by getting to the point of moving our processing into space can we eliminate (mostly) our impact.
Yeah. Without America the rest of the world won't... Like they follow our lead now. But, of course if you have a problem with China and India, let's find a way to make it the fault of the U.S.
Had we signed, China and India would have been estatic. They would have gutted our manufacturing and then been the power guys. Oh, and they wouldn't have followed our lead.
Actually, Saddam had WMD. Ask the Kurds who were gassed. Also, check out the volumes of Iraqi gov docs recently translated. He had them. He either dismantled, hid or gave them away. Unfortunately for him, the 19 UN resolutions made it incumbent upon him to show that he had done so and he wouldn't or couldn't. Tuff. Let him swing.
Things get a bit "tricky" because the entire concept of multiple universes is a pipe dream. No basis in reality or any way to prove. In fact, if you look up the friggin' definition "the totality of known or supposed objects and phenomena throughout space; the cosmos; macrocosm." you begin to understand it's all from some geeks playing around with word definitions and nothing else. Is there something on the other side of the 'brane'? It's just another part of the universe.
I write fantasy stories. My stories are accurate descriptions of one (or more) of the 'universes'. I am correct and you cannot prove otherwise. Oh, wait. Science down the drain.
I really hate it when 'scientists' start fabricating reality.
"So why don't you just sell me the extra service that I need then?"
Was kinda on your side in this, feeling you and the IT guys need to have your bosses go to their bosses and get a firm decision. But, that statement indicates you have no idea at all how departments in a business work. I know of no company at all that does that kind of billing. If yours does, utilize it. If it doesn't, get a decision and work the way your company dictates. The both of you.
That working together is the professionalism that is missing.
Um, no. The retail clerk is not there to trouble shoot his/her computer, regardless of how 'easy' the discovered fix might be. They are there to use it and to report problems to IT, who job it is to fix said trouble. As a boss, I do not want untrained employees to just poke around, I want them to work. I also want IT to work. As professionals.
"The founders knew that they couldn't form an army that would stop everyone else from fighting, that was the US's job."
Yeah, right. Anyone hear the cries from everyone each and every time we try? Hmmm. Resolutions out the ass and when their 'military' move to enforce the issue, they throw up their hands and whine that we shouldn't.
"They could, however, go after the causes of that fighting, try to head them off 50 years ahead of time."
They could, however, they don't. They are much more interested in letting things go to a deeper hell so they can retain 'management' positions.
Shooting deer is amoral because -- well, because they remind me of Bambi. Since no measurements were taken, you can't say the deer was a specific yardage away and using yardages makes me have to remember how many feet and inches and so forth are in them. So, when we talk about abstract concepts such as unmeasured distances between a Republican and a murdered animal, we'll use metrics, since I can then turn off my brain and just shift zeros. It amazes me, the correlation between Replublicans and things I don't care for like being successful at business or enjoying sports. That makes me fear that there is something much deeper than just the statistics and that those kinds of people (you know, the poor and uneducated you see in the aid commercials) really are different from us intelligent and morally superior Democrats.
I will vote for the candidate who aligns himself with keeping my state of being constant and comfortable so I can easily attend the rallies against the capitalist oppressors of the world's people in my mini-SUV.

But, we understand ours .

Or, you, in a sense of magnanomy, could do the work for him and let him do the content oversight.
Was that supposed to be funny or do you have no actual understanding of what you're talking about?
I wonder if you could get a GPA higher than Kerry's?
So, you can neither imagine turning the swimming pool through 90o or that it's empty?

No, it's not. They never said that. You must have read a different one. Good trolling though.
"the sheer volume of liars involved."
Ironic, that.
No more than the left. Get a grip.

Can't do that with 1800 or earlier tech.
"Human."
Then answer this. Why are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn experiencing global warming simultaneously with the Earth?

Perhaps, because the 'translation' wasn't perfectly reasonable or insightful?
Both of those tunes have been playing for as long as /. has existed. Exactly when is "soon"?
