    Oh Christ, can we bury this bullshit once and for all? Slashdot has had political articles since forever, bitching that it's something new reveals your ignorance, not some sort of mission creep.

    I think your observations re: Japan hit the nail on the head. American culture just hasn't progressed long enough for the populace to internalize the lesson that Hell is other people.

    Of course, business doesn't want to pony up for expensive and troublesome flesh and blood, so we get the horrible mutation of fake people which nobody really wants.

    Well yeah, it sounds stupid today. But there was a time when that sentence was "common knowledge".

    Well, you said insults, plural, and I thought, "oh he meant RINO, cuz that was the second one", but you're right, I only insulted you that one time so now I'm curious as to why you said insults plural.

    Wait, you took RINO as an insult? I'd thought there'd be at least a little pride...

    President Trump has a nice ring to it, doncha think? Rolls off the tongue. Sounds...definitive.

    I never said you were 'spinning' anything. What I am saying is that you're delusional. The difference, while slight, is important.

    Also, if you're going to get on your high horse, you might want to look at the gross asssumptions in your own posts, comrade. Clean hands and all that.

    That's exactly why straightforward democracy is almost always a bad idea

    Yeah, sucks to have Trump as your figurehead, eh?

  14. A dollar is the *usual amount*

    Sure, if you're weak and unsure of your position.

    You know, I like when you talk all angry 'n shit... I'll bet (also a dollar) it pumps you up.

    You got that backwards. I find it soothing.

    Peak oil has still passed, outside whatever panicky moment that will occasionally come by.

    Y'all keep focusing on that word, peak. It's more like a long, jagged plateau that's going to get worse before it gets better. We're not done yet.

    If not, then the sky's the limit, and your "peak" is indefinite.

    Ahhh, more of that binary thinking of yours. Good show, chap.

    More ignorance. Short bets on oil are for suckers.

    All this nonsense about "running out"

    Not what peak oil is about, but thanks for playing.

    Water wars are stepping up. That might be the better investment

    Yawn. Way ahead of you. You really need to stop going around pretending you're the only one been to a rodeo before. Also, fuck your weakass bet. If you can't even go for the price of a slashdot sub, don't fucking bother.

  17. It will never reach 100 bucks again

    Wanna bet?

  18. If you really believed in peak oil you would be investing in it now.

    LOL, you should have just asked, sweetie. I've been investing in peak oil for years. Can't wait for this current trough to spike back up and make me some sweet sweet cash. Hope your snark keeps you warm at night!

  19. Hi! I'm a peak Oil nut. Could you link me the source that shows that "we" keep pushing the date back? I keep asking my fellow peakies for it, but they won't give it to me. Maybe you could help?

    I love how you've spent far more time in this thread complaining about other posters styles, civility, and the non-threat of academic biases in University science departments than you have actually making actual scientific arguments against AGW.

    Seems a pretty silly move to dismiss something without even knowing anything about it.

    Apart from that one detail you noted, it really isn't. Unless you still think those are the "Whitey Tapes".
