Boy, you just wrap yourself in the mantle of science and pretend that that makes you "right", don't you?
Seems another group did something similar to justify certain awful big government practices a few decades ago. They published a lot of papers saying they were right under political pressure as well, as I recall.
Read the post again. The scientists attached themselves to him. He didn't say anything about the scientists being the ones pulling the strings. Rather, they have failed in that they have allowed their work to be used for partisan political purposes rather than a means to find the ACTUAL truth.
These types of issues are war, and arguments are soldiers. To deny a weak, illogical argument that supports your cause is seen as treachery.
This is a fundamental feature of the human mind, and its interaction with other human minds. This is why no logical discourse on this subject will ever be possible.
Talk about semantics. The government said some things, and 100% of US based light bulb companies shut down. Sounds like a ban to me.
Now we import all of our lightbulbs from overseas. I don't know if you can still get incancesdents or not, but that is beside the point. The government stuck its big dumb nose into what should have been a decision made by the market. Hell, I went out and bought all spiral fluorescents for my house three days after I moved in, years before the de facto ban. Saved loads of money. But the one place that I WANTED an incandescent was in my wellhouse, which can freeze up in the middle of winter. The light was nice because I could look out my window and confirm that it was on, and it kept the pump from freezing up. Now I have to use a space heater, which is incredibly dangerous, and I won't know if it is out or not until my water doesn't turn on in the morning.
So yeah, thanks a bunch for the unintended consequences. God forbid you ever learn your god damned lesson.
That is incredibly naive. Think back to kindergarden economics. Supply and demand. You have a certain amount of supply of energy producing resources. If you remove some of that supply, say 95% of the supply that currently goes to transportation, then the price on the remaining 5% skyrockets. This causes widespread suffering, and total devastation among already marginal communities.
Liberals and environmentalists like to think that they are kind, and care for the poor, but they never stop to think about the impact that their policies actually have on them. This has happened over and over again over the past hundred years.
Yeah, fuck the poor who rely on petroleum based agriculture for survival! Don't they know that the poor who are too lazy to move a few hundred yards a decade might drown maybe someday!?
There are dozens of methods they could have used, none of which would have taken a MONTH, even working on it thirty minutes a day.
This is likely a case of every problem looking like a nail to a hammer, where they had some advanced imaging software that they used, rather than using simple techniques.
Why didn't they just run the broad side of a graphite pencil up and down it? What on earth were they doing that it took them five months, when anyone else could have had it done in a day?
The Tea party doesn't wield any power over the GOP. The GOP infiltrated it and turned what was a conservative-libertarian fusion to just another neoconservative money machine.
Stop falling for the Kodos fallacy. Your third party vote DOES count.
Except that the statistics regarding violence and IQ are correct. People shut down when they hear these facts, and try to deny reality rather than attempting to address potential causes and SOLUTIONS. Just ignoring the problem won't make it go away. The truth is that there is something terribly wrong in the black community. It would be most constructive for them to have an open and honest dialogue, including the views of people of other races.
There was a time when different types of whites treated each other this way. No-one took this treatment longer or harder than the Slavs. But today, after culturally assimilating, no-one cares. Hopefully the trend away from assimilation can be reversed, so someday we can all look back on this and say "who cares?"
Exactly. He must have been dressed provocatively. And therefore he deserved it. I'm sure all the females in the world would appreciate the use of that excuse more often.
Gives Monty Python a whole new meaning. Also makes the politics a bit funnier, as they are both empty halves of coconuts, and they are banging themselves together!
Not really. They get quite a lot of subsidies for all sorts of crazy things. This produces some pretty crazy behaviors, but that is a subject for another article.
Fail on all but one count. I do live in Texas. I think Obama is a fascist like all of his recent predecessors, which is a form of socialist, but that is for another story.
You revel in your logical fallacies rather than thinking rationally. Truly disgusting.
Thanks for posting that. The flaws in that experimental design are shocking. My lab group does animal studies similar to this regularly (we study wound healing), and oversights like this would get someone in big trouble. We never would have allowed something like that to be published. But then, we publish our results much more slowly than other groups.

Only a fool thinks that linear or exponential trends continue forever.

What, by using using a logical fallacy conflating the physiological effects of carbon monoxide with the thermal properties of carbon dioxide?
Congratulations of lying your way to "victory". You are a discredit to humanity.

Implying that no-one else on the planet is economically enabled by oil that isn't impossibly expensive.

The government needs that money to kill a few more brown people and to create more enemies to keep us distracted so our leaders stay in power.
Nice ASS-umption you make there.

Thanks, that makes sense. Graphene only conducts electricity within the plane, so it would make sense that that would be the case for heat as well.
That puts it higher than silver, but not as high as diamond, and quite far below pure graphene.
Why not just use pure graphene, which has has a thermal conductivity about 10x as high as copper/silver?
Pedantry aside, you didn't answer the question. Is it racist to tell Shiites to avoid Sunni neighborhoods?

I would advise Shittes living in Iraq to avoid areas populated or governed by Shias. Is this racist?

You're right, both of those groups are absolute evil.
Perhaps it's time to vote third party?
You think not? Why wouldn't one government/corporate entity advertise another government/corporate entity?
Corporatism has taken us over the cliff. The only question is how long until we hit bottom.
