  1. Re:And 4) on NOAA: Global Warming 'Pause' Never Happened · · Score: 1

    So you are a denier. The evidence exists. You not accepting it or ignoring it does not change that fact. If you are a skeptic, you are one of the laziest skeptics on the planet.

    Entire cities will just move one or two meters up hill and continue functioning at the same time? What are you smoking?? Ignoring the problem most certainly will make things worse for them, but why let logic get in the way of a perfectly good rant?

    That's your argument? Incredible. Your science teachers should feel ashamed.

    So the answer is "yes", you will ignore scientists who say things you don't like, and equating an entire field of science to Pons & Fleischmann is only illustrating how eager you are to do so.

    The walled garden does not exist for every mobile operating system, though. You can also get Android phones with the Googleness taken out. You can install whatever software you want on them, regardless. But whatever - I bet it's easier to make your argument if you ignore those salient points. NSA! Rabble! Rabble!

    It's not really just a phone, though - Android phones are linux machines with great connectivity. If you are hell-bent on calling a 2.5GHz computer with 2GB+ of RAM, a built-in 1080p screen, wifi, lte, bluetooth, NFC, etc. etc. a "phone", then I guess you will always be confused at how people describe the users of it.

    You realise we all know that it's you, APK. We know you chime in pretending to be some anonymous supporter of APK, but your writing style gives it away each time. Each and every time. You might as well have written "APK needs help" instead, as it has exactly the same effect, only it's actually honest.

  16. Re:have lot's of crowbars on hand on Prospects and Limits For the LHC's Capabilities To Test String Theory · · Score: 1

    You are making a (literal) surface judgement based on your own prejudices. You have conveniently ignored all other factors and accepted race as being the real driver, even when a rational person would evaluate all the evidence. If you looked at poverty instead of race, you would see that black people are far more likely to be poor, and poor people are far more likely to commit crimes. But that would not let you be a racist fuckhead, so I can understand why you ignored that and just went with your gut instinct of lazy, lazy racism. Your parents must be proud to have raised such an illogical, hate-filled muppet.

    It's the science-denialist "I'm not racist, but...". If one has a rational opinion on the topic such a disclaimer is not required.

    1. There is no irreducible complexity in the eye. In fact, it's an organ with so many common defects if it was intelligently designed, the designer wasn't very good. How many people do you know who need glasses/contact lenses/laser surgery? Cataracts? The list goes on.
    2. Of course it has some safeguards, as rampant mutation would be very unlikely to yield viable offspring. No mutation would have yielded a very fragile species which could be entirely wiped out if their living conditions changed even slightly. Clearly any branches of the tree of life with those traits would be far less likely to exist, hence you making your point.
    3. Abiogenesis (the creation of life from non-life) is not part of evolution. It is a separate theory. As for creating new species, that has been observed in nature (the London Underground mosquito springs to mind), and in the lab (many different fruit fly experiments leading to new species).
    4. That makes no sense. Of course there haven't been any observed changes of such scale, as that would take hundreds or thousands of years even with the rapid reproductive cycle of fruit flies.

    The theory of evolution is only "shit" if you don't understand it, which you clearly don't. That hasn't stopped you lashing out at it, however. As an answer goes, the theory is not complete, but without it we would have no biology or medicine.

    Please, educate yourself. You are dangerous, and your school failed you.

    I appreciate your effort in attempting to improve this discussion, but when you talk about the EU and include Turkey in it, it makes it very difficult to accept anything you say without a massive grain of salt.
