This is where I tend to find myself siding with the righties on the board. The fact that a teacher or school could be sued for decorating a "Christmas" tree is just plain stupid. In this case, hats off to Texas. It's sad there had to be a law past to allow a teacher to say Merry Christmas to a student.

No way Koko! If you were going to dress as Obama you would grow out your hair and beard, put on a robe, and tell people to come forth and be healed!

Are you sure you're not the one confused? It wouldn't be the first time.

Oh no!! Too sexy!! TOO SEXY!!!

This is Obama's fault.

I don't think what happened was murder. I did at first but as more information about the case came out I think GZ should be charge with manslaughter not murder. He didn't get out of the car intending to kill TM, but following TM after being asked not to escalated the situation.

You're retarded as hell. Go back and look. They're all there. Try posts 56 and 75 for starters. You and Tom seem to be cut from the same cloth sometimes. You're confusing what happened with what you wish happened. Your mistake count has now reached 9194.

Your argument would make sense if I tried to delete those posts. However, I didn't. My position still has not changed much. Other than the part about this being a cold blooded racial killing I still stand by what I said. Edit: Your mistake count just went up to 9193

Hey, we all make mistakes... You appear to have made 9192 of them. Have a nice day!

Die Thread!!! JUST DIE!!!!

That's your opinion dumbass

But the polls are obviously not creating the score. If Pelosi II had won and in the aftermath we find that the only reason she did win was because Marginal R voters stayed home believing their vote was meaningless due to the polls showing that Sanford was going to loose we could argue that the polls are creating the score. This is a good example of the how you can't skew a poll to manipulate the outcome of an election.

My guess would be Yukawa would be the person behind the name of the Yukawa potential. Bethe I believe German physicist. He taught at Cornell if I'm not mistaken. I think you meant to write Tomonaga, not Tomononga who was also a physicist. The other 4, no I've never heard of them. But considering that the 3 I did know are physicists I would gather that the rest are also. Yes I may lack some perspective as to who is smarter than who in physics. But I'm also not trying to bull **** my way thru the thread like I do have perspective. And maybe some of the other people you listed above were/are as smart or smarter than Hawking. That doesn't change my statement. Hawking is one of the smartest Mofos that has ever lived.

The one where you went from bullshiting to straw man to "I'm right because my degree is in a real science" to pouting. I think I recall him having having something to do with investing. Doesn't matter. He can still cook spaghetti. Edit, and enjoy the shout outs while they last. I'm home recovering from surgery. Soon I will disappear back into the ether again.

The Estheticians should be cutting him some slack. It's not every day you land a guy like Hawking! ...you know, to come in a talk about skin care and ****. :flirt:

The one where you went from bullshiting to straw man to "I'm right because my degree is in a real science" to pouting, and now you seem to have moved on to the denial phase.

I can't believe I tried to have an intelligent discussion with this kind of idiotic nonsense. When not able to put forth an argument of correlation relative to causation vs propter hoc correlation induced by variable flooding you went from bullshitting, to to straw man, to "I'm right because my degree is in a real science", to pouting, and now we seem to be to the pouting phase. It's embarrassing for me just to watch. I can only imagine what what you must be going thru. Be happy that I can have respect for idiots. Or I wouldn't have any respect or people like you and 3rd. And now that my song is over and our moment of "getting along" is over why don't you shut the !@#$ up and go cook some spaghetti!

*Bigfatbillsfan walks to the front of the forum with a guitar case. He pulls a guitar from the case and begins the process of of strapping it around his neck and checks the tuning. (He then has to squirm away from 3rd as 3rd tries to cram his hand up his ass while saying "But, I just want to make you my sock puppet!") He then begins the slow strumming of Kumbaya. Much like the famous Christmas Eve truce of WWI the members of PPP stop their arguing one by one and start to join in until all are singing together in one voice. And for one shining moment, there they all were, not divided, but one in the knowledge of their freedom the argue their viewpoints, however different they may be. When the song is over he silently unstraps the guitar places it back in the case and without saying a work leaves the forum. (as he's leaving 3rd shouts out: "But... I thought we were going to play 'sock puppet'!)*

The last time I saw him "speak" (not in person, it was a web video) he looked really bad. It seemed like he couldn't move more than his eyelids. I hope he's not on his way out. I'm pretty sure he's one of the smartest mofos that ever lived.

I agree that a reasonable person can conclude that the issue isn't settled. In fact there have been some pretty good models making pretty good cases for Climate Chang that is not, or not completely due to human activity. But remember what stated: the issue is not settled. And therefore we cannot rule out human activity. Claiming that we should not act on what we know at this point is like saying that a person should not cut salt out of their diet after being diagnosed with high blood pressure because they aren't sure if salt is the reason their BP is elevated. And yes, I agree that Al Gore is an alarmist. Now we also cannot just look at one chart and ignore the rest when arguing the point. Not to mention if we are looking at the same chart: (is it the one with the the 1, 12, 60, and 132 month means? correct me if I'm looking at the wrong chart.) The only line I see on the chart that is relatively flat is the 12 month mean. Even that would looks like it would show a small uptick in temperature anomaly if it were plotted and the high +/- trend is indicative of quite a bit of noise in the data. What you want to pay most attention to when looking for the best long term indicator are the 60 and 132 month anomaly indicators. Both those show a marked increase in anomaly and the 132 month indicator is almost completely devoid of background noise. The idea of more development on land causing higher surface temps is one of the better models that tries to take CO2 out of the equation. However, replacing CO2 with land development does not take human activity out of the equation. And if human activity is enough to tips the scales to the point of runaway greenhouse effect we end up in the same place we were before. The major difference between land an ocean temps is more due to the complex system of convection and currents that take place in the oceans that do not take place on land. The best argument against CO2 = Climate Change is the exponential amount of CO2 in the atmosphere without the exponential increase in temperature anomaly. Either our earlier models CO2/anomaly models are in need of updating, or there is lag between CO2 release and temperature uptick.

What can I say? I'm a self loather.

Are you still daydreaming about having your hand up my ass?

Here are some charts depicting global temperature readings up to about 2008. Take a look and tell me how you make the claim that the data is showing that the Earth is not warming. The data clearly shows a warming trend. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs_v3/

Am I going to have to take the added step of posting a link to a definition of the work feel to spoon feed your sorry ass as to what it means?
