    So...still no actual counter argument then? Just hand waving, name calling and ignoring the parts of posts that contain pesky facts.

    THIS much difference from ONE field trip to a museum? Why, by all that is correlated, we MUST start opening up museums like 7-11s! There should be one on every streetcorner!

    Feel free to show us where the Wikipedia page is wrong.

  18. Re:Let me guess on Science Museum Declines To Show Climate Change Film · · Score: 1

    That wikipedia page has 77 citations.

    The one I picked out, ie. " Republican strategist Frank Luntz advised members of the Republican Party, with regard to climate change, that "you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue" and "challenge the science" by "recruiting experts who are sympathetic to your view".

    That quote has a little number [10] next to it. If you hover the mouse over that you get a citation and source for that quote. You're free to check it out. You can also see the entire history of page edits and see if anybody has been "vandalizing" a page.

    (I hate to have to explain how Wikipedia works, but apparently there's people who don't know).

    What about the other claim I made about typing "democrat climate change denial" into google and it coming up with articles about Republicans? Is that just something google does to make the Republican party look bad?

    You can type stuff like "climate denial republicans vs democrats" into google, and guess what? Same thing.

    If you want to trash Wikipedia, do it by providing facts. Show us where the Wikipedia page is wrong. Waving hands, not providing any evidence, dismissing something because of something you once read on the Internet? That just makes you look foolish.

    1) It's a law the same way Newton's Laws are laws.

    Newtons laws are based on real physical "laws". Not the same thing at all and definitely not "nitpicking".

    There's a well know observation that's known as "Moore's Law", yes, but calling it a "law" doesn't make it one. There's a parable about grains of wheat on a chessboard which explains why. Anybody with a working brain can see that it can't hold for much longer. The laws of physics and mathematics will come into play soon (and they're real laws, not data trends).

    Newton's laws? I expect them to hold until the end of time.

    Yep. $8,000 a month to watch somebody die slowly, painfully and inevitably. When the person being kept alive doesn't want it.

    After a year of watching this person's misery, they die and you're left with a bill you might never be able to pay off.

    They dies. Your life is in ruins. The mental scars of watching it for a year are far worse than if you just said goodbye and did it. Does that make sense to anybody at all?
