  1. Re:Good idea beyond the "renewable" fad on Denmark Plans To Be Coal-Free In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    There you go moving your goalposts again. Plus, Germany isn't really a tiny country. Heck, Denmark isn't either if you want to play your vagueness game and compare it to the Vatican. Get a grip - you sound like a whiny child. Give it up. You're only making yourself look abjectly pathetic.

    It's your own fault for using vague language like "large quantities". When someone, as a counter, points out that wind is providing 41% of a country's power, you move the goalposts and get whiny. Stay classy.

  3. Re:Saw the debate on Ken Ham's Ark Torpedoed With Charges of Religious Discrimination · · Score: 1

    Nice strawman. Affirmative action was an attempt to fix the symptom of black people being under-represented in higher education and in the workplace. That's it. They didn't do it because black people are not intelligent, they did it because they simply were not represented in those places, and those places are the ones which bring money and development to the communities from which people come.

    But as long as you can make stuff up to make a point, why bother with facts?

    You are proud because you believe something? I thought pride was considered a sin by Christians. I'm sure you have some "logic" that makes it OK when you do it, though... Weird how that works. "I'm so proud because I've accepted a story on face-value - and decided to claim to live my life by it - even though in the exact same sentence I espouse this belief I show myself to not have really grasped it". Religion is funny.

    String theory and global warming are both testable, which goes to show just how much you know about this. You don't need to reproduce something in order to test it - there are other ways. It appears the science you think isn't so pure exists only in your argument.

  7. Re:Why at a place of learning? on Creationism Conference at Michigan State University Stirs Unease · · Score: 1

    It's more along the lines of someone marketing a bubblegum flavoured bleach and calling it "Mr. Dino's Tasty Drink", and labelling it as being safe for human consumption. It's inherently dangerous by rational examination.

    People might take the junk seriously, but that's what churches are for. They should indeed be able to discuss it publicly, but not under the guise of rationality, as that is where the danger lies. People might not realise they're talking out their asses, and get caught up in zombie Jew justice.

    "Global warming" = the warming of the globe

    The pause doesn't exist, either. You stating that it does (and expecting to be taken seriously) shows you are woefully ignorant of the science, and desperate to not learn. Did you know you can ignore all the models and anthropogenic warming is still very much evident?

    You're the one who's been had. You are arguing against trying to protect the world that you are leaving to future generations, and paying more for in the process.

    When will you get over it, get mad, and get even with those who took you in? Oh, you won't, as you're too lazy to even bother to learn. What a surprise.

    Global warming will not be a picnic for you in the north. You'll witness a lot more pests who carry diseases you and your fauna/flora are simply not prepared for. Your land might be a better temperature for farming, but the soil will not be up to snuff and the yields will be poor. Even if the land was good, you lack the infrastructure to take advantage of it. Then there's also the distinct possibility of feedbacks caused by the cold north heating up, causing heating to accelerate. And none of this has even mentioned the weather, which will start to suck in ways you can't even imagine. But whatever - thinking is hard! burn moar coal!

    In the immediate future, you are right. In the long term, however, Germany's power-plants will pollute a lot less. Wait for the end of the "Wende" before crying it's not working. It shows you either don't know what's going on, or simply just want to make a point in the face of the evidence.

    Those sound like pretty decent definitions, apart from the use of the word "appear", which means those definitions are entirely subjective, and allow someone who had no political motive behind their heinous crimes to be labelled a terrorist when they were not trying to coerce public opinion.

    They also clearly define plenty of actions by the US government as terrorist in nature, but I'm sure Fox News wouldn't discuss that...

    Whereas in countries actually physically affected by WWII they had things like the "KEEP CALM" posters. Yes, panic is a massive problem. People aren't rational. As long as people are not rational, and news media makes money from hyping dangers, panic will stay a large issue.

    In Britain, for example, her family has given their land to the public for an annual stipend of £40m. The land generates £200m a year, so that's a pretty decent deal right there.
