    From what I can see in the press the conservatives are only interested in God, their guns and speaking shit lie that the earth is 6000 years old. I don't think that they can plan too much. And if I just open Google and see the pure fucking chaos that your Dubya and his dad organised I am perfectly reassured.

    Or maybe you are talking about other type of conservatives.

    Mate. Sorry, but, do you understand graphics?

    Imagine that what you are seeing is not the Evil Climate Hoax (we all know it a scam) but that these graphs are the usage of your hard drive.

    I just take this first innocent plot: http://www.woodfortrees.org/pl... plain vanilla... and I see that the first value is to the left and it is more or less -0.4... now check out the point where the graph ends... that's somewhat close to 0.2

    Now, take an imaginary pencil and draw a straight line from the beginning (at -0.2) to the en (at more or less +0.2)... is the line horizontal or skewed? It is certainly skewed, and that's what we seek.

    If the line were more or less horizontal we would know that your hard drive's usage stays the same over time...

    But it happens that the line is skewed to the right... which means...? You got it: The usage of your hard drive is increasing!!!! Time to think on getting yourself a RAID system.

    Of course, this is not applicable to Climate as we all know that climate is a great hoax.

    So, but you don't trust this data, right? Because this data has been all made up by the Evil Minions. That's perfectly good... there is a solution: Gather a few friends, preferentially from around the globe, buy a few cheap thermometers of these digital weather-stations, mate, you may even use data from Weather.com!!!
    And now gather the data during 10 years. And after 10 years come back and explain your results.
    Easy, isn't it?

    And in Holland the PVV... which has had in the past rather warm words for Mr. Putin and is now engaging in anti Islamic propaganda, when the real enemy, the one that has killed compatriots, are the Russians.

    And knowing that in the past Russian oligarchs have been funding anti-global warming campaings and that the PVV and similar parties have obscure funding mechanisms (being that the PVV is establishd as a rot of private company and not a political party) I wouldn't be too surprised to know that these parties do lobby for Russian interests. It is not so strange, these parties are nothing more than lobbying companies.

    Not a big issue mate, the Netherlands can supply a good amount of it. We still have plenty and we have an already working huge gas terminal in the haven of Rotterdam that could be used even right now to store and distribute gas from the USA or Britain.

    In fact the aim of these groups is EXACTLY that of impacting the views of others and from what I read they are doing quiet a good job imposing THEIR views by means of revised textbooks in several states and a good bunch of similar actions.

    I don't know what the policies are in the USA regarding bank accounts, but I assume that they must be pretty much like in the EU.
    Assuming that this is the case your bank offers a pretty strong protection against abuses by means of chargebacks.

    This is in fact much easier for bank transfers and direct debits than it is for credit cards as credit cards use the 3DSecure system that offers liability shift to the merchants in order to avoid excess of chargebacks. This is actually sold to the card users as a security measure, but it is not.

    For payments from a bank account you have a given (and rather long) period of time to request a chargeback to your bank. This is rather quick as the mechanism is that the bank transfers the funds to your account from their own accounts and later requests these funds to the merchant. This all works electronically and it is very difficult to counter it: IF the merchant cannot provide a legitimate defence (providing documentation regarding the delivery of goods/ services, invoices, etc) his account will be charged.

    The bank will always favour it's customer, thus the account holder and the procedure is highly (if not completely) automatised and easy to do (and the bank and the payment service provider get a cut too in the form of transaction fees and chargeback fees) a win-win thus.
