I forgot to add the word "also" after titanium[sic]. But of course nitrogen "burns" as well. Its 2-1 combination with oxygen is what your brain appears to be stewing in. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

LOL! OK, ok, I am humbled by your superiour (note the spelling!) comedic abilities. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Wow. Simply stunning. You possess a unique inability to follow even the simplest line of reasoning. I marvel at you sir. For it seems whenever you open your mouth it's only to change feet. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

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."

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."

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. How's that for an inconvenient truth? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Um...you can burn nitrogen. Titatnium burns in pure nitrogen at 1472°F with a green flame to form titanium nitride, TiN. Workmen used TiN-coated drill bits to build the schoolhouse you flunked out of. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Um...vegemite is sold right alongside marmite in your overpriced stores. But from what I've heard on the news your train stations now appear to be selling dynamite as well. Are you talking about Algore's Inconvenient Truth? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Well blimy, gov'nor, the massive debunking of "global warming" appeared on YOUR tele! And Moore's statement regarding "burning CO2" was printed in YOUR newspapers: http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowStory.asp?story=CZ434669U&news_headline=global_warming_is_lies_claims_documentary. Odd that a foreigner has to tell you the news in your country. Are vegemite and kippers addictive to the exclusion of all else? To hear Moore label "global warming" a hoax, see the excellent BBC documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle", viewable here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4499562022478442170 It proves climate change is natural, has been occurring for years, and ice falling from glaciers is normal spring break-up and as natural as leaves falling in autumn. Danger! By refusing to watch this film you're purposely isolating yourself from contrary fact, exactly what you accuse conservatives of doing. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

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. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowStory.asp?story=CZ434669U&news_headline=global_warming_is_lies_claims_documentary Fourth sentence down; their words not mine, my man. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Of course liberals have to believe man caused global warming - man's the only thing on earth that can pay taxes. Liberals would love to send God a tax bill, but they'd have to believe in Him first. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Apparently Algore has different definitions of “science” and "fact" than the rest of the English-speaking world. I urge him to publish his dictionary; I’d love to see his definitions of “junk science”, “media hoax”, and “eco-nut.” "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

The 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? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

The Pew Research Center poll released in January ’07 shows the number of people believing global warming requires immediate government action declined by 6% from just 6 months earlier. In addition the majority DON’T BELIEVE human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels causes global warming. Thanks for playing, what do we have for 'em Johnny? "Your parting gift is to be remembered alongside the kooks believing in Y2K, acid rain and global cooling." "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Actually global warming alarmists are the minority. Want proof? Name any law Congress passed to combat this farce. Hint: It's a number < 1. For extra credit, name the # of senators who voted for Kyoto. Hint: It's also a number < 1. And a survey on climate change conducted in more than a dozen countries found that a majority of Americans don't think a "global warming crisis" is real. The survey was conducted by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

I agree with mnealtx and the detailed advice of freeflyimpaired — don't do it. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

No religion was behind any of those atrocities. The perpetrators happened to have been Muslims. And for pretending not to know the difference, as a smokescreen to justify ethnic bigotry: Shame on YOU, Sir. Quote BZZZT! Sorry Charlie, Islam was clearly invoked as the reason by the perpetrators. Muszlims come from every ethnic persuation, so to accuse me of "ethnic bigotry" is laughable. LOL! I didn't even mention a single ethnic group!! Are you reading the write posts buddy? But at least you invoked a different logical fallacy from the other two America-haters, so thanks for the variety with the Ad Hominem attack. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Another Strawman argument. Did you two fail the same logic class? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Nice try with the Straw Man argument, but none of the above acts were done in the name of religion while ALL the ones I listed were. To ignore radical Islam's clearly stated desires of a repressive world caliphate is intellectual infantilism. You possess a mind-boggling inability to differentiate between what Churchill called "the fire and the fire brigade.” At best you're a dupe parroting the unhinged rants of unemployed radicals lurking in seedy cafés. At worst you're a totalitarian Saddam-sympathizer harboring a bloodthirsty hate for both liberty and its champion the United States. Either way, your inept rants reduce you to little more than a clown capering at the edge of a world that ignores you utterly. But the pièce de résistance was calling Christianity a religion of torture and cannibilism. Your statement says nothing about Christianity and everything about you, and renders you unsuitable for civilized discourse. As such I won't read or respond to rants from such as you in future. However, I will pray for you. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Hm. What religion was behind the 1979 seizure of American hostages? What religion was behind the attack on the Marine barracks in ’83? What religion was behind the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia? What religion was behind the WTC attack in ’93? What religion was behind the attack on our embassy in Tanzania? What religion was behind the attack on our embassy in Kenya? What religion was behind the attacks planned during the Clinton administration that killed over 3,000 on 9/11? Sounds like we have an equivocator and anti-religious bigot attempting to equate "murder" with "religion", rather than the well-known truth. Name one Christian suicide bomber. Name one Jew who beheaded an innocent on videotape. Name one Hindu who blew up his own children in a car bomb. Shame on YOU, sir. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

OTHER. Many DZs force you through a 3-tandem progression which interested me not in the least. I decided I'd rather jump with my own rig than be someone's necklace. Tandem is skydiving like a carry-on is a pilot. "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

That's it exactly. Am I alone in sensing this thinly-veiled animus? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Is the dissatisfaction with this level of income the reason for the yuppie-phobia I sometimes see on this forum? And at some DZs? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."

Hm....is that a Muslim edict? "Iþ ik qiþa izwis, ni andstandan allis þamma unseljin."
