    Another hyperbole used as reason.

    "Embarrassing" is not a component of scientific research. All you're doing is injecting emotion and hoping it will carry the argument.

    And lowering the bar allows bureaucrats to impose regulations based on faulty science. By the way, the courts are involved now.

    "EPA's work has always been based on publically available rigorous science." Really? Just one example. There are more.

    Existing studies can have identifying information removed, leaving raw data to examine. Unless, of course, the raw data has been lost, massaged in the first place or is simply being refused access to. You're making a false assumption ( "We have to redo them.").

    "all the scientists oppose it." Right. And 97% believe in AGW.

    "... until it is a hollow shell of what it was intended to be."

    Instead of the overbearing, overreaching, politically biased agency it is now?

  9. Re:Hello? on FTC Targets Group That Made Billions of Robocalls · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm meaner. I pretend to be a very old individual, making them listen closer. I play along for a few seconds, knock over a chair or table and them shout "No, no!" and scream like I'm being murdered. THEN I drop the phone down, make a few noises and then calmly hang up.

    Very cathartic... and fun.

    "Leaving women to burn was for most of recent history the default." Yet more bullshit spouted as fact when it is no more than biased personal opinion. Show some evidence.

    Oh good gods, what bullshit. Some small percentage of *all* cops are evil. Some small percentage of *all* non-cops are evil. Some small percentage of *all* races are evil.

    So should you. It's been a term of disparagement from as far back as 1590.

    Perhaps instead of a bland assertion, you might just provide that definition. Please don't neglect to include just who came up with it.

    "but it does say something about you; if you examine the reasons why you have a penchant for rogue classes; I'm sure you'll find something out about yourself reflected in that."

    Uh... they're *fun*? That you read anything else into a game says something about you, wouldn't you think?

    The latter.

    "But of course it wasn't as stark as the white participants." But of course you don't provide any cite. Convenient, that.

    Bull. Just now watched it. It was someone wanting to do a grim and dark PW. It wasn't at all tongue in cheek.

  19. Re:I don't think Obama is really paying attention on ISIS Threatens Life of Twitter Founder After Thousands of Account Suspensions · · Score: 1

    I wasn't writing in absolutes, I'm aware there are factions opposing them and laud that. I'm also sure that you're not writing in absolutes and are aware of factions that *have* supported ISIS in both governments and clergy. All I'm saying is that these have influenced ISIS, not anything Obama may say or think. He's been openly mocked in the Mid East, so I can't believe they take him all that seriously. Also that, just like here in the US, people there only became active about it when the beast grew large enough to force it. Human nature, here and there.

    Ironic, that laughter and bravado coming out from behind that curtain with AC stamped on it. I personally agree with mocking and ridiculing them as you do, but I at least provide them with a moniker with which to start their search.

    As for being in fear of his life? Sure should be. Do you keep up with news but just happened to miss that beheading of an infidel by an Islamic nut job recently? Oklahoma, not the Mid East. The woman and her family would most likely disagree that "They have zero power."

    Correct chain of causes: They are already fighting us, so we mock them and laugh at them. You're presumption of them winning is merely a projection of your desires, no more.

  22. Instead they want peace in the middle east, but no economic competitor.

    Why then are our best allies some of our toughest economic competitors? It has a whole lot more to do with the Middle East generally taking the attitude that settling business and religious disputes should be done with explosives.

  23. Your argument for appeasement rests on an occurrence from over half a millennia ago with completely different players. We're talking about now.

    Beta no doubt. The comments were out of order for me too. I'm always having to go to the one I want and backtrack.
