jcd11235 0 #101 July 24, 2008 QuoteQuoteIf you'd rather continue clinging to incorrect conclusions based on politics instead of factual scientific evidence, feel free. You won't be the only one in SC to do so. If that's what you choose to do, rather than learn why those conclusions are incorrect, you should be careful about calling others ignorant. Please school me on the facts... you have yet to do so. The fact is your "1.4ºF in the last century" is a piece of data taken out of context, and does not discredit claims of climatologists as you are saying it does. The wrong time interval is used, and it fails to offer information about the second or third derivative of average temperature with respect to time. Your argument is like saying that the average speed of a top fuel dragster over the course of a 24 hour period is less than 1 mph, so the dragster can't go very fast.Math tutoring available.

kallend 1,625 #102 July 24, 2008 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteIf all 300+ million people in the US would actually start giving a shit abpout each other then the country would truly be great. If you would check your facts you would find out that the US is one of the most giving/donating countrys in the world. If not the most. Try again. And it's citizens kill each other at a higher rate than any other western industrialized nation. ATTENTION ALL KALLEND HAS MADE AN IGNORANT COMENT (go figure) That has no a damn thing to do with this coment. I said they are giving/ caring people. Shooting one another is a characteristic of caring people? Must be a Texas thing. (Since you bring up the the subject of ignorance, your spelling and punctuation could do with improvement)....

123GO 0 #105 July 24, 2008 What a bunch of bull this last post of yours is. At the bottom in %GDP...that doesn't mean anything. If we give 100mil which is nothing to us and another country gives 50mil which is have thier GDP the 100mil will still do more good. This makes about as much sense as the stuff at http://www.digitalfuntown.com/ but at least that stuff is funny while this is just sensless.Is there anything better than hitting a jump in the morning and then unwinding to the hilarious shows Digitalfuntown is nice enough to offer.

I wonder why the G8 leaders (including the US president) pledged to give aid in proportion to their GDP? The foreign aid given by the US amounts to roughly $0.15 per person per day. 21 nations give more on a per-capita basis (source, OECD). THAT, my friend, is the measure of "caring/giving/donating"....

BikerBabe 0 #113 July 24, 2008 QuoteFirst i would like for you to tell me how global warming is a major issue when the av. anual temp has only risen 1.4 F in the last century. DeVoll, had you really read my two posts, you would note that in no way did i mention global warming or climate change. I tend to gravitate toward ALL threads of this nature and ask the same question, whether it be politics, environmentalism,or any such issue. And may i remind you that YOU began the thread. If it is not an issue, why start a new thread about it at all? My question is a GENERAL one. And you have of course added more weight to my hypothesis by patently refusing to answer a simple question. Shall I repeat it? For the sake of argument, how about you do, indeed, limit it to this particular issue: What "facts" (or category of facts, even) could someone with whom you disagree possibly present that would make you re-evaluate (not necessarily CHANGE) your position? If you are indeed as open-minded as you say, then there MUST be something out there that will cause you to take a good hard look at your position. So please, enlighten us.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of those left specifically due to the lack of freedom in the US compared to their home country.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
