The second most important video ever made about "climate change"

Oh noes! The government is trying to promote good health! It's an evil conspiracy to kill the entire population! Quick, get your tin foil drinking glasses! Aaaaaaah! Yeah, I know... I just can't seriously argue with CSS anymore... It's like trying to strike up a two-way conversation with a TV commercial. Sure, it has flashy colors and catchy music, but in the end it's just wasting everyone's time.

I don't know, maybe I'm just a prick, but I get a distinct sense of satisfaction when he wanders off in the face of questions he obviously doesn't have the answers to.
I confess, I get that too, but I do find myself hoping that his time, he'll ask himself why he has no answers, and wake up, at least a bit.

You are an optimist. When given evidence that their beliefs are wrong, hard powerful evidence, fanatics tend to believe themselves correct even more and become more entrenched in their beliefs while adding a martyr complex to it. I can get better results trying to reason with my 4 yr old than a fanatic. Least he's reasonable and his tantrums only last an hour tops.

That takes quite some time. Running fstdt[^] I occasionally get emails from people who had been at one point or another quoted on the site going, "Holy crap, I was a complete idiot". It's an odd thing really, they're almost always those who were so sure everything they said was true. I've considered tacking on a 'Redeemed!' award to quotes by such people, but I'm not sure it'd send quite the message I intend to.

Fluoride in the water doesn't promote good health. Forced drugging through the water supply is wrongheaded. If anyone wants to use fluoride they can use it in accurately dosed amounts. 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation[^]

Those are the kind of people I respect most. The ones who, regardless of their original opinion, are prepared to change their way of thinking when presented with proof to the contrary. Not a huge fan of Sagan in general, but I like this quote: In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. ~Carl Sagan, 1987

Normally I'd do some research and post compelling evidence to the contrary, but you would just call me a "hedgy", claim it's some sort of conspiracy, and post a bunch of youtube links from Alex Jones. Bye now.

You use the same nebulous stock phrases to attack people without actually saying anything concrete, so you can attempt to look smart without opening yourself to being proven wrong. In this way you are at least smarter than CSS ( but, who isn't ? ). We both know it.

I agree, this is too ignorant to bother replying to.

Truth doesn't cease to be truth upon being said a second time, and there is nothing nebulous about the phrase "intellectual dishonesty." Or the term 'hypocrite.'

And yet, lies don't become true. Funny that....

Yet, when I was willing to bother asking what it meant, you had no meaningful reply.

Your misuse of this term borders on the bizarre.
