rushmc 23 #26 May 10, 2007 QuoteQuoteWhy did they conduct a survey in a dozen foreign countries to find out what Americans think? Were they interviewing people on holiday? Either you're putting words in my mouth to defeat a silly argument I never made, or you need a primer in reading comprehension. The word "foreign" never appeared in my post. But if you put on your long-disused thinking cap and apply a colossal effort of concentration you might realize the phrase "a dozen countries" could possibly include the United States. Careful of this tactic that is being employed against you. The topic you speak of can not be easily debunked so you are being drug off topic instead."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Andrewwhyte 1 #27 May 10, 2007 QuoteThe co-founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, finally admits "global warming" is a hoax, and now says African countries should be encouraged to burn more CO2. If the founder of Greenpeace can see the truth, why can't you? On Tuesday of this week Patrick Moore wrote an article in the Calgary Harold in which he said, "I now realize nuclear energy is the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace Canada's growing demand for energy." Moore became a corporate shill about ten years ago. Here is his website:http://www.greenspiritstrategies.com/D54.cfm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But from what I've heard on the news your train stations now appear to be selling dynamite as well. QuoteThe film proves nothing. The film presents one side of the story.

BoilingMidnight 0 #30 May 10, 2007 QuoteMoore became a corporate shill about ten years ago. Actually there's almost no private sector investment in climatology. However, there's TONS of money from left-leaning institutions funding the global warming alarmists, while censoring and intimidating its critics.

idrankwhat 0 #31 May 10, 2007 Quote>Now if we could burn nitrogeon..... Careful there! Burning nitrogen could release nitrogen into the atmosphere. And that sounds more dangerous than dihydrogen monoxide. That shit'll kill you quicker than "natural causes"! 1 out of 83,500 people each year succumb to it.

BoilingMidnight 0 #32 May 10, 2007 QuoteMoore became a corporate shill about ten years ago. And radical eco groups fund a lot of pro-GW scientists, financially benefiting by proclaiming the sky is falling ("Donate now to save the Earth!") I don't hear you discrediting pro-GW scientists receiving funds from left-leaning institutions. Perhaps you're mature enough to admit people who believe one side or another are willing to employ those in agreement. Anyway, nice try with the high-school debater's trick of Fallacy of Association, but sponsorship alone does not discredit."Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

BoilingMidnight 0 #33 May 10, 2007 QuoteCareful of this tactic that is being employed against you. The topic you speak of can not be easily debunked so you are being drug off topic instead. Thanks for the warning Marc, but I wouldn't call it so much of a "tactic" as a fallacy. There's appears no shortage of them on this forum - acres of ad hominem attacks, endless fallacies of association, and bushels of strawmen. (Strawman appears to be the [I]Fallacy Du Jour[/I]...) But as you say, avoidance of the core issue is telegraphing defeat. It shows even they know they espouse untenable positions and resort to misspelled fallacies when so threatened. Bereft of options they strike like a cornered animal, boldly announcing to one-and-all they've lost the argument before it's begun."Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

jakee 1,595 #34 May 10, 2007 QuoteUm...vegemite is sold right alongside marmite in your overpriced stores. So what? It is the Australians who are addicted to the stuff, not us. The general opinion in the UK is that Vegemite is roughly similar in taste to liquid excrement straight from the devil's arse. QuoteAre you talking about Algore's Inconvenient Truth? Both. They are both propoganda pieces, and to treat either one as gospel truth would be rather foolish. BTW, I skimmed through the GW doc and could not find where Moore called GW a 'hoax.' I may well have missed it so could you tell roughly at what time on the vid he does this? Thanks.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channman 2 #36 May 10, 2007 Quote >Now if we could burn nitrogeon..... Careful there! Burning nitrogen could release nitrogen into the atmosphere. And that sounds more dangerous than dihydrogen monoxide. The chemical compound digydrogen monoxide (DHMO) has been implicated in the deaths of thousands if not millions over the years. This deadly chemical if incountered in its gaseous form can cause severe burns or even death. Therefore for all of use that are concerned for our fellow man/women/child should insist that all world governments ban this chemical and remove it from the face of the earth.

You see, I was in the middle of searching for my dusty old thinking cap when a friend from Australia phoned to update me with the latest British news (which I ignore) and he was half way through that when I realised I hadn't had a fix for the last two hours and was absolutely Jonesing for some Vegemite smeared kippers. I went to the cupboard to get some but unfortunately I had isolated myself from the contrary fact that I'd just run out. Frustrated by my lack of options I attempted to lash out (like an animal!) but merely fell over as I had neglected to remove my foot from from its accustomed resting place. So as you can see, I'm rather busy right now. One thing though, you mentioned something called an ad hominem earlier - what is it?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

wmw999 2,588 #45 May 11, 2007 Did you call it to anyone's attention? The last post in a thread is not going to be looked at for infractions most of the time; once an issue is dead, why would the moderators go looking for trouble? As far as calling Christianity a religion of torture and cannibalism, he didn't. You inferred that, but it's not what he said. He said that a Christian symbol is a torture device. It's really, really hard to disagree with that. That whole Good Friday thing. Communion involves the statements "this my body" and "this is my blood." I'd disagree with the term emotionally, but eating body and blood would be called cannibalism. You abstract them from their position in Christianity (which intellectual honesty demands when you talk about a symbol seen by others outside your religion) and it does look that way. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
