Even I can spot bullshit from my armchair. Completely dismissing 30 years of evidence just because it doesn't conform to your pet idea--that's bullshit. And it's not how science is supposed to work.
The effect also explains the lack of global temperature rise seen between 1940 and 1970
When the evidence doesn't fit the model, just come up with an excuse to dismiss the evidence. That's the grant-whoring scientific method at its finest.
Most of the TSA officers I've seen look like they just stepped out of the ghetto with their shiny new high school diplomas. I don't even think they're salaried employees. It looks like a barely-above-minimum-wage job. You can't expect to get professionals on $10 an hour.
The EULA specifically says that you can't ever, never sue us--for any reason. It also says that this software is not in any way obligated to ever function.
THC is a powerful hallucinogen. In moderate doses, it will produce a pleasant intoxication. But it will also make you trip balls if you smoke too much too fast. Believe me, I did extensive research in college.
But, okay, ask yourself this. Would you rather ride in a car driven by a guy who had just smoked a cigarette, or a guy who had just smoked a joint?
Climate change is always happening. The pertinent question is whether it's being significantly effected by human activities and, if so, what is the extent of this change, is it a threat, and what can and should be done about it.
So then provide an example of marijuana lobbyist(s) trying to make smoking marijuana in public places legal while at the same time working to prohibit tobacco smoking in public. I
marijuana and tobacco are not, in fact, the same substance
You're right. Marijuana is much more toxic, and contains a serious hallucinogen that can cause everything from intoxication to psychosis in significant doses. Marijuana is also an illegal substance that's often poorly processed, with little safety oversight as a result--meaning that that dime bag you're buying on the street corner may have come from a grower who didn't bother to clean the birdshit and insects off his buds before he ground them up for your consumption.
But yes, tobacco can cause lung cancer and emphysema in chronic users, and has trace amounts of nasty shit like ammonia. Of course, marijuana irritates the lungs in the same way that causes cancer and emphysema with tobacco smoke, too. But don't let all that get in the way of you're "Marijuana is awesome, but tobacco is EVIL EVIL EVIL!!" campaign.
You can mod me down all you like, it won't change the fact that the pandemics of the week, environmental fads of the moment, etc. will keep coming. There's always some new Chicken Little with a new threat that's going to doom us all, holding his hand out for a generous grant from Uncle Sucker.
The fact that this got modded down "troll" shows exactly the kind of groupthink wall that anyone hits for daring to question global warming or the motives of its evangelists (and make no mistake, these *are* evangelists, with a sermon to preach). Someone questions the motives of a skeptic who gets funded by the oil industry and that's great. But someone responds with the inconvenient truth that the proponents of global warming often have their own funding sugar-daddies too and he's a troll who must be silenced.
It's funny how the left's tune changes when it's marijuana being smoked. Smoking tobacco is evil and will cause you and everyone for miles around you to drop dead almost immediately, cause your children to grow multiple heads, make Jesus cry, and destroy the human race. But smoking marijuana is just me exercising my right to decide for myself what to put in my body, man.
How many continuing grants to you think they would get if they found that nothing was wrong? They're alarmist for the same reason that epidemic scaremongers in the public sector are always always sounding the tocsin--because there is money to be made in fear. You get a lot more funding saying "Russian flu/Swine Flu/Bird Flu/Ebola/etc. is coming to kill us all!!!!" than you do saying "This probably won't amount to anything."
Only the NSA could witness, and presumably archive, *both sides* of the conversation. All the people in the meeting hear are "Excuse me, I have to take this" and then some muffled yelling from the hallway. Now there's no one to verify that she's being a total annoying bitch who can't seem to do even the simplest fucking thing without bugging me about it.
Actually, the Wii did suck. And I say that as someone who owns one myself. Sure, it's great for kids and parties. And it's got some appeal to the casual market. But for the hardcore gamer (or even moderate gamer) it's pretty much just a toy. Mine has mostly stayed in the closet since I bought it. I played it some at first, and still occasionally break it out for visitors, but I never really considered it a good console. It looks like crap on my big HDTV, any gaming session of any length leaves me with a sore arm, and there are only a handful of games on it that aren't complete garbage.

Michio Kaku is to physics what Dr. Drew is to the medical profession.
The fact that they say things like "Sir, can I ast you to step out of line?" and can barely read a boarding pass are pretty good giveaways.

You mean the oxygen-free wiring and gold-plated connectors don't make for an "extra dynamic picture" and "much better sound resolution"?

I don't know why you guys are complaining. Ads have the electrolytes your body craves.

Hey, you clicked through it.

Oh, you need look no further than our delightful leftist stronghold of Cambridge, Massachusetts—where smoking that evil tobacco has been banned, but toke up if it's marijuana, dude!!
Or maybe we should look at the weed capital of the world. What say you Amsterdam?
Oh right it's not otherwise you would have actually post some evidence to back up your claim. That's apparently not something you tend to do.
I think I just did.

And of course he would never use some alarmist issue to garner public support in order to advance his own selfish political ambitions. Nope, not him.

Yes, because no one on the pro-warming side is in it for the grant money or funding from the left. They're all pure of heart, like angels really.

My mom *is* my girlfriend, you insensitive clod!
It makes me shudder to think that someone is actually telling a *lie* in the hallowed halls of Congress.
Yeah, well I haven't see any scientist defeating ManBearPig.

Nintendo: We aren't going to focus too heavily on that
Translation: Microsoft does it better than we ever could, so fuck it.
Good god, is it really THAT bad?!?!?
Maybe staying away from WoW isn't such a bad idea.
