  1. Re:One handed clap on Kite Power: The Latest In Green Technology (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I guess you just like having someone to point to and say "well, they're worse than me, so I can continue being wasteful", as you clearly haven't spent any time looking for supporting evidence.

  2. You can download Virtual Machine images of Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 from http://modern.ie./ I use them for their intended purposes (testing websites in different flavours of Windows & IE), but they work just as well for anything else.

    What does that have to do with Dirac?

    So you don't have an argument.

    I'd explain why an unvaccinated child is a dangerous thing, as your argument seems to deny that, but I'm sure you already know.

    You should probably keep your childish "Hitler" comparisons to yourself, lest you want to unravel what's left of your credibility. While I do usually disagree with a lot of what you say, you (nearly) always have a good argument. On this one you have no argument, yet you are arguing as if you do. It's pure emotion, and it shows - you have resorted to childish allusion in a vain attempt to win your argument. That doesn't bode well.

    You might choose to not get the vaccine, which makes you a risk to those who can not get the vaccine or for whom the vaccine did not work. Do those people not get the "my body, my choice" right? After all, according to what you just said, it's "their body, your choice".

    And you should be ashamed of yourself for making disparaging remarks about someone by using a slippery slope fallacy. If that's all you've got, you really should just be quiet and let the adults talk.

    You clearly have no idea why the numbers for 3) and 4) are so low - hint: VACCINES. Did you not go to school or something? This is trivial stuff to understand. You are looking at a country relatively full of vaccinated people...

    She was not sick. She was a carrier, unaffected by the disease she carried.

    Aaah I get it now - you really have no idea. Thanks.

    You benefit even if you don't have kids in school, as you will interact with graduates all day, and every single service you require from the local area will have benefited from education. It's amazing that some people don't understand that other people are people too, and just how interconnected our lives are.

    So you think our vision evolved in the last 20,000 years? Your point is tragically flawed. You can disagree all you want, but human vision evolved to use the sun, not fire. Just think about it :)

  13. You keep making up these assertions to back up your opinion, but the evidence disagrees with you. Google's cars are better than people, on the roads they've been tested on at least. They will not get worse. You appear to have seen straight past the facts and into fantasy, which judging by your post history, isn't exactly a surprise.

    Or - just maybe - you think too highly of your driving capacity, and he's right, and he won't be damaged by this claim.

    So you'd have the same reaction to a baby accidentally being sick on you as you would to a fully-grown person purposefully being sick on you. If the answer is "no", you might want to figure out why that makes you a terrible person.

  16. Re:Easy to follow guide on How To Talk About Mental Illness Online? · · Score: 1

    The lengths you have to go to to justify your "picked-on white guys" claim is amazing. The fact you have to make stuff up also doesn't really help your case. If you really care about this topic, do some research before belittling it and you in public.

    Cancer has caused some ridiculous amounts of anti-social behaviour. You should see what a tumour pressing on parts of your brain can make you do. On second thought, don't. It's really not nice. But regardless, there is no excuse for prejudice.

    And what "problems"? As a body of evidence goes, it's amazingly good. Sure, there are some rough parts, but those same rough parts don't stop you using your computer, eating food, or talking to a doctor. Suddenly claiming those rough parts are now really rough in this one field, but happily ignoring them in others, is not what rational people do. If you try to pull that one on people, you deserve to be called out. It's nothing to do with AGW but assuming your hubris is any match for the scientific method - some people find that highly ridiculous and disrespectful.

    You really need some help. Seriously. You and APK should go join some group therapy and get this sorted out.

    Ooooh! The American media says so! It must be true! I'm beginning to realise why you keep making these ridiculous claims - you are failing yourself by not educating yourself, causing you to repeatedly make a fool of yourself. Hint: if you want to dispel the "uneducated American" stereotype, stop posting.
