Fan-fucken-tastic, my favourite Geena Davis movie of all time and Samuel L Jackson plays a perfect part. "That's a duck, not a dick." and "Putting the keys in my left pocket. Bah Na Na Na Na.

I don't watch much news, we don't get free to air TV. However, I would say based on what I do see, that our newspapers give a LOT of space to attacking AGW. TV may be another matter, of course. I do like Media Watch, thanks for this link, I've not seen it for a long time. Oh - they are commenting on the background behind anti AGW stories. Yes, it seems to me that papers do present more anti AGW stories than not. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

In hungarian the word for 'hot' has been taken by the butty-batters. You can no longer say 'I am hot', in the same way you wouldn't say 'I am gay' in english. The lovely solution is to say 'It is hot for me' - perfectly acceptable. I found this out when I was first learning hungarian and I went into a meeting on a hot summer's day. I knew 'meleg' is hot and 'vagyok' means I am, I was hot and sticky and said "Meleg vagyok". The room stopped. Birds fell out of trees with shock. My mistake was explained and I said a *bad* anglo saxon word. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. or "Drink. Get drunk. Fall over." - P O'H

Hey, I'm not saynig I disagree, I'm just saying that's not the message the ad conveyed. ;) L u n a t i c F r i n g e

I saw this moments after you posted (but didn't want to post until I saw whether you got any intersting replies first:-)), pure onion-scented gold. Antoine de Saint-Exupery: Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

This is almost a good thing... no more arrogant fools, just a bunch of "groupthinkers" lol

Yeah, obviously. I mean, I dislike the travel altogether, but, that's why it's a job and not my hobby, I don't like all of it. My point was really mostly that I dislike the assumption that I have no life outside of work, and can just drop everything, including my family and their plans, to head over at any time, a time that just changes even after we've discussed it and I've made plans accordingly.

What did it for you, the "I'm not going to try and respond to your questions" or the "I posted this question once but didn't like the answer or don't know how to modify my orignal post so I'll just do it again" angle or the general "I'm going to be a dick and "punish" you for giving advice I don't like". I responded to his first version and couldn't bring myself to respond to this one. :sigh:

Ha, that is so funny. t must be a spoof post. In any case, I couldnt help responding sarcasticly! Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Well, at least there is progress. We arent perfect by a long way but we do try to get better. Perhaps all opening up of new land for industrial use should be made to undergo by law an environmental impact study before hand. Perhaps in a similar way to building work say in London going hand in hand with archeology. Of course such a stufy needs to be balanced and cooperation with the business involved must have the aim of permitting that business to go ahead, rather than just endlessly blocking it. Of course this would have to be case by case; No one is going to allow an oil drilling rig on the barrier reef for example! Just plain no. But if elsewhere habitat can be maintained alongside industrial works, after all, plants and animals dont care if they live alongside a load of steel pipe or not, just provided they have their resources they are happy. The big thing forme is controlling chemical pollution. Its nasty, pervasive, and the effects potentialy long reaching. This has to have absoloute laws, harshly applied, to stop industry from poluting. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

It's far from the only reason, between the exploitation and the results of colonialism which we never bothered to clean up I'm surprised we don't have more terrorists who are actually good at what they do. I'm rather tired of shoe bombers and underwear bombers.

Yeah, OK. I see your point. The NASA article didnt make the same claimns. What grabbed me about this was that it shows that the science is not settled, that its still being refined. This is all sceptics want. They want an end to the ridiculous alarmism, and a return to clear headded calm science so we can actually understand the true impact of CO2 on the planet.

The Problem for CSS is that when you live in it upto your eyeballs - everything tends to look and smell like it Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

You have expressed the opinion that "liberals" do not really care about the causes that they espouse. That it is all show. You do not really care about NHS victims (real or imaginary), and yet you espouse their cause in your attack on socialism. Therefore you display the trait that you accuse "liberals" of possessing.
