is trying to copy Canada's law, which, although not often enforced in Canada, does allow for the arrest of a church pastor for taking a moral stance on issues such as homosexuality, among other things... An aside: Gideon, this isn't true. I wrote on this earlier on someone else's thread. I also quo

My sickness that is JU in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I guess it's because blogging is addictive that I continue to hang out here. Among my real-life friends, acquintances, and co-workers, I'm regarded as intelligent, well-spoken, respected by my peers, reasonably analytical (my job relies on it, to some degree), good with customers and somewhat of a peacekeeper. (according to various feedback I've had over th

Brad, You've been removed from the blacklist. Taking a few pieces of data and coming to a hard and fast conclusion on global warming is reckless to say the least. Is this what you're accusing the IPCC report scientists of, the American Geophysical Union of, the Nobel Laureates of, The Med

OK I've sent it. I'm going to delete your last posting with your email, since it's private and doesn't really relate to the conversation. JW

What you don't seem to understand is that you are a zealot. Since your mind is made up there is no credible source you would accept. So when I say you automatically dismiss any discussion that is what I mean. That's not true. I'll accept credible evidence - in fact, people who know me say that, along wi

Brad, I tried to "unblacklist you", but I wasn't sure how to do it. Anyway, you're pretty quick to slam people ("poor reading comprehension", "don't think very analytically".) I thought it would be better to request that you stay off my blog, than to get pissed off and say something nasty in return. Frankly, I don't need this kind of shit. I wouldn't let my kids talk to me that way, and I sure ain't going to like it from anyone e

It seems to me that you have made up your mind... Yes, I have. And freely state so. I'm not confused about my belief at all. Global warming is real. After all Gravity

Anyway, I cannot come to any conclusions so quickly so I will defer. See, now it's people like you that I don't have a problem with or complaint about. It's others who, lacking any training or real knowledge (including reading about the issue) in the area, d

What is also very interesting are people who really don't have a background in science arguing that others need to take their word for their opinions 1. You don't really have a clue as to what my educational background is, since I've never discussed it. 2. I'm not suggesting that others need

Why? Could it be that you are getting this second, third, or fourth hand. Answer this honestly...have you read the report or are you just a hypocrite? I've read portions of the report. JW

The future is now in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well folks, Just like the computer models and climatologists predicted two decades ago, increased hurricane activity is one major sign that global warming is here, now. If Frances hits major landfall, it is predicted to become the most destructive hurricane in recorded human history. Welcome to the future. It's here now. <a href="ht

And WHO gives a rat's butt about international allies? Do you "honestly" think the french would "ever" help us? Get real. Certainly, Bush's rhetoric hasn't made others in other countries too inclined to support American (mis)adventures around the world. It's always interesting to me to see the strong is

Here's what the UN says in their latest climate change report ... The head of the United Nations Environment Programme, Dr Klaus Toepfer, said: "The scientific consensus presented in this comprehensive report [the IPCC report] about human-induced climate change should sound alarm bells in every national capital and in every local community." The report further notes that ... "The present CO2 concentration has no

I've been reading on this topic for 15 years or better. What this is about is different - those who say it doesn't exist (I'm fine with that), but themselves offer up weak reasoning, few facts, and no new theories (I think that's feeble coming from someone intelligent). That's my beef. Global warming "theories" has the mainstream scientific community on it's side - if you have something different to offer up, shouldn't you have some

Well, I've seen it time and time again, People who deny global warming exists, offer up a few obscure sources to support their claims (much like tobacco company scientists), and don't even seem to understand that some of the basics aren't even up for dispute anymore (eg like that CO2 actually traps heat - this has been known for a 100 years or better).

America has lost its moral way in recent decades and the Democrats are to blame. Let's see, since 1968 there's been Republican presidents in power for 24 of those 36 years. The commander in chief post held by a Republican, the chief propagandist' s role - per se - and yet the Democrats are to blame. Yo

Weather versus Climate in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

Global warming deniers often point to the inaccuracy of daily weather forecasts as a reason that global warming can only be considered a wild theory, at best. "How can they be right about climate, when they can't even tell you what the weather will be like next week?", they say. For instance, in Canada, our national forecasting agency got it terribl

Reply to The Libertarian Party: Crime and Punishment in Politics JoeUser Forums

Interesting link Madine - the greatest correlation I've seen with crimes of all sorts is the number of young men, aged 16-30, a number that has been falling (the X or Y generation) in the past. This falling crime experience is not a national phenomena, but has been noted in almost all countries with a "baby-boomer" population. However, the number of young people in that age group is now rising, and those figures have been climbing in other c
