  1. This is a lot like how I feel about "libertarians". They are people who claim the don't want regulations. But what they really are is people who only want the rules that enable them to retain and/or increase their own status and wealth. Society would not work without rules.

  2. The weakness of the article is readily apparent when you read it. It merely claims a disagreement about the timing of the release of the data and report. I does not refute either. The only people quoted in the story attempting to characterize the report as questionable are a couple of R politicians seeking to inflame their base. In other words, the article is worthless as a source of information on climate change. As always when you quote this garbage in this forum I will attempt to draw your attention to the simple obvious undeniable fact that the world's glaciers are melting, the sea is rising, and atmospheric CO2 is increasing. All measurable hard to deny facts. I will also draw your attention to the fact that even Mr. Trump's EPA nominee, Mr. Pruitt is now on record as believing in man made climate change. Faced with all that, when will you ever stop grabbing at worthless straws in an attempt to prove what you vainly wish was true instead of facing up to the facts?

  3. Hell, I didn't know they were geo-limiting their shows! Unfortunately many of the links posted for TV shows here don't work in Canada. Anything from Comedy Central usually won't work. Sometimes a quick search turns up a link that will work, but often not. I realize you have no way of knowing that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  4. For those outside the USA. I found that Nova episode available here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXs7VSd5xXA Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  5. I understand research is going on into "reverse combustion". Engines will run on free O2 and CO2 using a newly developed catalyst to combine with N in a completely non-reactive reaction creating free energy and removing CO2 from the atmosphere and turning it into fancy French cologne.

  6. You can believe that. I choose to believe that most of them are smarter than that. And that the reason they voted Trump was to seize the rare opportunity to give the finger to the man. That is still stupid, but a different stupid. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. Just a little short on detail in that story. For now I'm putting it in the same category as cold fusion and perpetual motion machines. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. That's close. The actual motivation is fear. In this case fear of losing money and/or power. The more depressing thing is that fear is the main motivator behind nearly everything people do. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. It appears he has been! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. this made me chuckle (I don't have further comment, didn't read the link) Well to be clear, Skeptic, Doubter All of which basically means that you have chosen to just ignore it. And that you don't really have any idea what the truth is, but you know what is easier for you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Trump will get pissed off at Bannon soon. The man is too clever by half. Trump will decide that he no longer needs the rain maker to hold onto his people. And he will lose his famous loyalty when he realizes that instead of playing Bannon, Bannon is trying to play him. Putin would have had the man shot long ago. Trump is a weakling.

  12. But I'm not really talking about politics or even policy or tactics. I'm talking about the man's basic way of dealing with other people. I'm talking about the Denis Leary song A-SS-HO-LE, I'm an Asshole! Capital A, eh! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs Just watch it. It is basically the Trump theme song.

  13. In our world, some people are assholes. Some people even brag about being an asshole. Some people, like Trump are what I call capitol A Assholes. It is my belief that assholes everywhere should be celebrating the fact that one of their group is now POTUS. Except that most of them are unlikely to take joy in the sucess of someone else. Trump loves recognition. I believe he should be given his due and lifted to the status of the highest achieving Asshole ever. Many people in high places are assholes. Steve Jobs was nearly complete Asshole by all accounts. I don't know my Presidential history that well. There may have been others who were assholes. But DJT is the first capitol A to make the rank as far as I know. Have there been another one or two of them? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  14. The 9th circuit denied the DoJ's request for immediate relief from this judgement this morning. That should allow enough time for the most egregiously affected people to use their visas. Hopefully it will also give Trump something to focus his anger on and keep him busy for a while. http://www.mprnews.org/story/2017/02/05/court-denies-trump-request-to-immediately-restore-travel-ban Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  15. But Putin's Russia is not in the habit of killing Americans. That's all that matters now. America First ©. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. Now that Trump has a judge to aim his anger at it will be just like the election campaign. He really loves a clear enemy. Lock him up! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Canada is first. USA is second, Mexico is third. Just look at a globe, you'll see. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. So comrade....what do you think the purpose of the law is? Certainly nothing to do with "late term abortions" under any current meaning of the term. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. It may or may not even be written by a real grunt. "Iron Mike" is a pseudonym. Since whoever wrote it won't identify himself there is a strong possibility that he is the real coward. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. Wasn't the Bush family well connected to them as well? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. LOFL Conservatism ended slavery. You are still losing it. You are so far out of touch with history and reality that I have no words to deal with your mistakes. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. Bannon will be planning a smallish war for early summer 2018. Just the thing to rally the population ahead of the mid terms. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. Wendy, I don't understand why this should surprise you. Conservatism is all about fear of change. It always has been, it always will be. It's basically the definition of the word. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. Man up, use words. Did Swift need "fonts" and "Emoji"? God gave us the magnificent gift of the English language. The next thing you'll be asking an Arabic font. And you'll be asking if you can type right to left. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. What is really a geopolitical struggle between the middle east and the western powers over resources has been allowed to be cast as a struggle between Islam and Christianity. Most Muslims are not from the middle east and largely are not in the fight. This needs to be seen and settled as a fight for political control of a foreign territory. Because that is what it is. The terrorism aspect of it is just a side effect. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
