The IPCC is uncertain whether the increase will be as low as 2.5C or as high as 4.7C, but it doubts that it will be as low as 1.8C or as high as 7.1C. :) fat_boy wrote: all these rteports will contain words lke 'may' and 'could' Oh pish, mere uncertainties.

Awwwwww.... You spoiled my experiment.CSS is pretty much a syncretic being. He sees a video on YouTube or reads a website, adds it to his current belief system and then pastes it here. For example, he seems to like the Tea Party, but many of his posts are Marxist Theory (Communist at any rate:- the nuiances evade me) hidden behind a bunch of neogolisms. I wanted to see how he'd reconcile the "Facts" in is head: Fact a: Inflation is deliberately caused by central banks printing more money. (As stated in his post) Fact b: Inflation happened before central banks. (To be reconciled) I have a few theories, but I want to see which he'd commit to.

Its just for cookies and shit. You can already do that without the government. It is just a way for the government to get its tenticles around the internet. They start off with things that might sound reasonable to a moron like yourself, they focus the propaganda on the ignorant people such as you and Ian and the rest.

All they should have to do is tell their boss they've got an interview. If you can look for a job while having a job when you're already employed I don't see the difficulty. The only difference is that you'd be productive the rest of the time rather than sitting on the couch for the majority of your time not looking or interviewing. Its more of a "to fill the time." Volunteering would also be a good alternative. I'm sure something like the soup kitchens or something like that could use the help. When I was out of work I looked into it to pass the time. I have a hard time standing still. Luckily I had plenty to do around the house. I have an old house that needs some improvements. Wage slave, that's Chomsky I believe. Don't you find more dignity in working for a wage rather than being handed one for nothing? I hated it. That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)...

I know I know. What I'd like to know is when does the general public say enough. CSS is right about one thing people are pretty much sheep. He expects outrage, but yet there isn't any. The public is so busy scrabbling around looking for its next scrap of a job just to survive. Things will have to get much worse before they get any better. There's still too much complacency. Can you imagine how long the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts would have lasted if the government had instituted the draft, created a surtax to pay for it and all of that? Not very long at all. For one Ian and I most likely wouldn't be here now to write posts on this site. We're of the draft age, I think. That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)...

Actually, I guessed copy-and-paste first. Using "we" like that is pretty pretentious, the Queen only gets away with it because it is traditional for the monarch in Britain to use the "Royal Wee" Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

More or less from the reviews I've seen. Since there's no solid reason for any of the released documents to have been secret, there's nothing to prosecute on that end. The person who leaked them may as well paint a target on their ass, but that's a different angle. Aside from vague handwave about putting lives at risk, there have not been any solid reasons given, and handwaving doesn't get far in court.

I have read a few of Brysons boooks, they are easy reading and entertaining. Mother Tongue was very good for a few chapters, so I will look out for Made in America. And yes, languages, and particularly how they are related, are fascinating, because they indicate the movement of people over the centuries, and how culture develops. And of course how we should never think of ourselves, our culture, and our language as isolated or distinct. We arent. We are very much related.

Very likely, and that in itself is the death of AGW (I speak here not of the science, but the scare).

I developed this mindset after many years in the government training centers. They and the media instilled in me a fear of those who would dare to speak out against authority because those who spoke out were the bad guys.

No. No-one could improve on the perfect sheep you were: and, indeed, remain.
