[quote who="Basmas" comment="3"]Things have moved on.[/quote] So maybe you should ask yourself where they've moved to. Haven't you ever heard that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it?
And to think - when I tell people that global warming advocates are probably just financially motivated, they laugh at me as though it's impossible.
From what I understand, this has also been happening to GM dealerships as well.
Okay, well considering I'm one of those "intentional liars" I sure don't have much of an idea which parts are lies. Again, enlighten me.
If there is a misconception, then why don't you start a thread which details exactly what evolution actually is and enlighten us all?
Oh, just noticed you put this in the humor section. The joke has already been played, sorry.
Erm, someone already posted this link. It's been determined to be a hoax.
The economy takes years to fully react to policies enacted today. Everything that is happening today is actually all Clinton's fault.
[quote who="AldericJourdain" comment="3"]It's a hoax; take a look at the url first, then google it.[/quote] I did so a couple minutes after I posted the first time. The website was pretty convincing at first though.
[e digicons]8C[/e] Wow, that is the wierdest thing I've ever heard. I'm not quite sure I believe it just yet, we'll have to see if there are more cases. Beware of the zombie flu!
I actually did notice this some time ago, though I don't remember if it was because someone pointed it out or not. It's still hilarious - and just a little bit nauseating.
Well now, I guess he learned a thing or two about knitting, eh?
The increased ice flow was caused by a warmer temperature that year, sure. That doesn't mean the warmer temperature was global warming, it may have just been a heat cycle. Even climate change advocates say that the temperature has only risen an average of about 2 degrees worldwide in the last couple decades, which is clearly not enough to cause a ship-sinking ice flow.
Blaming the Titanic on global warming seems like a logical fallacy to me. Maybe it was just a stroke of bad luck that they collided with an iceberg so massive that it just didn't melt before it got so far south. It's not beyond question that a larger iceberg could have formed naturally, without global warming or cooling at all. I guess my point is that you really have no reason to say it was caused by global warming. You can't prove that it was.
The problem with the EMP too is that it would destroy our nuclear arsenal. Our entire retaliation program would be within the 5-10 minutes we would have to launch as many nukes as we could, because after that, it's all dust. As for fiber optics being immune... kind of silly IMO. The normal wires for data transmission are also immune, because they're not going to be destroyed by a power surge like circuit boards. In both cases, it's the equipment at either end of the l
Actually, wait a minute... paying 40 million people $1 million apiece? That's a total of $4 trillion dollars, more than all of the bailouts combined. I guess it's not such a great idea after all. Had me fooled for a minute there.
Well, it certainly sounds more effective than the current bailouts, not to mention cheaper.
Wow, that's weird. Not just a month ago my family was talking about this exact same possibility, of the US being hit by an EMP. I don't know if that means that we're kooks, or if we're just foresighted.
All previous posters banned for banning people who deserve to be banned, for whatever reason. Let this be a warning to you all!
[quote who="AldericJourdain" comment="8"]Whether or not the planet is hurting, whether or not we are causing global warming - it just makes sense to me to take care of (conserve, preserve, etc...) what you have. It really is a no brainer I think. [/quote] I agree with this, to an extent. Of course the question then becomes, how far do we go to preserve said planet? I would much rather throw Bambi under a bus than another person.
[quote quoting="article"]Our goal is that if you want to see the whole “Battle of 5 armies” type thing you should see each and every soldier fighting if you want or you can zoom out and see it more abstracted.quote] Oh yeah, I would love to do something epic like that. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I think your reference to the "battle of 5 armies" was mostly lost though, not sure many people here have read that book.
Angel Food is a good ministry, sure. Just a question though, had you heard of this? http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1470321/angel_food_ministries_subject_of_fbi.html?cat=48
[quote who="StrykeZero" comment="85"]Don't know what everyone is bitching about, you've all probably won some kind of competition at some point in your life.[/quote] Haha, no. I've never won anything that involved luck. That is a pretty sweet computer. Sure, I would have preferred to have had a chance at winning it, but hey, you're the ones giving it away.
[quote who="Leauki" comment="16"]...whereas Barack Obama seems to be unable to cope with the job and tries not to change too much. That's a lot better.[/quote] Most people would disagree that Obama "tries not to change too much." Also, Obama has frequently been given the exact definition of socialism, yet he still doesn't think he's a socialist. I'm not sure why you would think he's any smarter than Ron Paul. [quote who="VarekRaith" comment="17"]Bingo! Ha
If conditions are bad enough to drive away people who are already successful, imagine how bad they would be to people who are just starting out. I don't think many people would be willing to even try.
