Perfectly allowed to ask questions, and I support that. I like that we have all kinds of sceptics. But you were talking down on all who are

Posted by: Facto on Dec 20, 11:12 in response to Hooray360's post How many years has it been since we have only had ten...

aware of global warming being a problem we currently face (and that's before getting to the debate on whether it's man-made or not), by insinuating that they are all "mindless drones".

Al Gore is a man with an agenda, and a skilled politician. I'm sure he says things for effect sometimes. (And to sell more books and DVDs and what not.) But he does have decades long track record of focusing on ecological issues - it's not a bandwagon he jumped on after losing the presidential election.

Besides, when you are now trying to escape responsibility for the put-down ("mindless drones") by randomly changing subject to Al Gore (who mentioned him earlier in this thread?), I consider that a cop-out.

I strongly support sceptics, but only when they really do their homework, and take full responsibility both for their actions and for what they say. They must conscientuous and consistent (not acting by shifting standards) to earn my (and people in general's, I hope) respect, just like everybody else.

Official estimate for Avatar is $73 million... bout a $19 million short. {nm} secretstalker Dec 20, 07:35

No... it's actually only a $19 short... and yes, I've had my coffee. :) {nm} secretstalker Dec 20, 07:35

damn...thought Christmas came early :D {nm} tealfan Dec 20, 10:10

Damn global warming! {nm} Hooray360 Dec 20, 08:07

The current NE snowstorm is exactly the type of radical climate change that global warming can cause, simpleton. {nm} ryking Dec 20, 09:34

Radical climate change? It IS December and it IS New England so not a huge surprise that they would get some snow!! Relax!! {nm} firefox Dec 20, 09:40

I believe in Global Warming, but I cannot buy that a snowstorm in december in the NORTHeast is because of Global Warming. {nm} Laprawler509 Dec 20, 09:45

Well it certainly isn't Climate Change. As far as I know, they do tend to get snow there from time to time. :) {nm} firefox Dec 20, 09:48

Brace yourself: Your beliefs, formed from ignorance, do not really affect the science. ryking Dec 20, 09:50

Snow in the north-east in winter is usual, sure. But for it to be nearly snowless through the first half of December, then a great big storm RogerMore Dec 20, 10:42

Why the hate? Where's the tolerance for diversity? {nm} edzep Dec 20, 09:50

I have plenty of tolerance for diversity, but not rank stupidity. ryking Dec 20, 09:55

Uh-huh. Too bad we can't limit free speech on all them hillbillies that displease you. {nm} edzep Dec 20, 10:03

Hey, Al "The $100 Million Dollar Man" says the debate is over, so shush up and follow in lockstep behind all the other mindless drones. Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:06

The majority of the scientific community agree about the climate change. It's the deniers of scientific truth who are the mindless drones. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 10:30

So daring to have the temerity to ask questions makes me a mindless drone? Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:58

You can ask questions, but science has already given you the answer. Antibody Dec 20, 11:11

We can question, and when we do we are insulted for doing so. Got it. Hooray360 Dec 20, 11:38

You can't legitimately question the earth being round. Come on, man. Unless you are a member of the Flat Earth Society? {nm} firefox Dec 20, 11:49

The entire scientific community used to agree that the Earth was flat. That didn't make it true. {nm} firefox Dec 20, 11:07

No, that was religion, not scientists. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 11:13

I'd say it was both. Regardless, just because everyone believes it doesn't necessarily make it true. {nm} firefox Dec 20, 11:37

You don't call names when you call those who have the opposite viewpoints from your stereotypical conservative one, "mindless drones"? Facto Dec 20, 10:32

How many years has it been since we have only had ten years to save the planet? Hooray360 Dec 20, 11:01

Perfectly allowed to ask questions, and I support that. I like that we have all kinds of sceptics. But you were talking down on all who are Facto Dec 20, 11:12

But saying I'm a simpleton engaging in rank stupidity, IQ lower than my size, that's not talking down? Hooray360 Dec 20, 11:36

Aren't we changing subject again now? I never mentioned those things, ryking did. I'm not his parrot. Ryking could have measured his choice Facto Dec 20, 11:59

You can ignore Al Gore, but you can't ignore the science. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 11:15

I never said you had to. I'm just using MY free speech to point out right-wing idiocy. :) {nm} ryking Dec 20, 10:11

Isn't it Climate Change these days? Anyway, the climate always has and always will change. Without man's involvement. {nm} Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:03

Well, living in Toronto, I am certainly glad the climate changed. Otherwise these great lakes would still be under a mile of ice. {nm} firefox Dec 20, 10:06

Since man can change the climate so easily, I'm asking for 72 degrees Farenheit year 'round. {nm} Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:10

You should move to Arequipa, Peru. {nm} firefox Dec 20, 10:14

IOW, you are tolerant of those who follow your limited ideas without question. Gotcha. {nm} Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:19

His limited ideas? Limited how? By scientific logic.. ? {nm} Facto Dec 20, 10:33

Limited by not allowing other views, limited by not allowing questions to be asked, limited by not looking at the original data. Hooray360 Dec 20, 11:03

No one's words are to be taken for granted, and one is always allowed to ask questions. I applaud it. This wasn't about that... ;-) {nm} Facto Dec 20, 13:00

I *love* the religion of AGW. Big snow storms? AGW. Mild winter? AGW. Hot wet summer? AGW. Mild cool summer? AGW. Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:00

There's nothing religious about the science behind global warming/climate change, but your stupidity and self-destructiveness... ryking Dec 20, 10:19

The scientific truth is the opposite of religious faith. {nm} Antibody Dec 20, 10:40

And that is all I'm asking, is the truth. But asking questions is no longer allowed, that makes you a simpleton, stupid, and so forth. Hooray360 Dec 20, 11:05

Ooh, name-calling! I love it. I question your faith and I'm the simpleton. Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:08

You're not questioning my faith, you're belittling scientific fact. Too bad you're not educated. Or capable of thought. {nm} ryking Dec 20, 10:14

Let me know when you think you might be capable of discussing this without having to stoop to childish insults. {nm} Hooray360 Dec 20, 10:18

I have to speak down to your level, and even then you can't understand. Let me know when your IQ is higher than your shoe-size. {nm} ryking Dec 20, 10:20

hmm... should have held onto that {nm} OdysseusG Dec 20, 08:09
