Response to: Polygamy. Posted July 27th, 2007 in Politics

While I personally don't approve of polygamy, I frankly see no reason for it's illegalization. What goes on in the people's houses, as long as it doesn't harm or threaten the life, liberty, or property of others is not the government's business.

While polygamous relationships may be prone to spousal abuse--the spousal abuse should be the problem, not polygamy. After all, there's plenty of spousal abuse in monogamous marriages too--and no one would dare illegalizing marriage as we know it.

No. There is not the first shred of actual scientfic evidence in any of those links.

There is no composition analysis of various chemtrails compared to contrails.
There is no numeral, statistically significant correlation between alleged symptoms and chemtrails for various areas.
There's no pictures of the part of the plane that does the spraying.

If they dont satisfy you, then you should do some research yourself.

NO. IT IS YOUR JOB TO PROVIDE THESE. You're the one that's making the accusation, that the government is spraying chemtrails, you're the one trying to convince us, you provide the factual scientific evidence to support your argument. And the fact that you can't present such evidence it only means one thing: that the evidence doesn't exist--there is no factual, scientific basis behind the notion of chemtrails. If there is, then you need to show this evidence.

After all, when I do the research, when I look at the science involved, I come to the conclusion that they are nothing but contrails and anyone who thinks that they are chemtrails is batshit insane.

I'll think outside the box when I see a valid reason to.

All I see is a bunch of psuedoscience, unfounded assumptions, non-sequitur arguments, and a general ignorance of atmospheric dynamics.

The symptoms of "Chem-illness" include sore throat, "flu-like" feeling, diarrhea, itchy eyes, abdominal pain, joint aches and pain, headaches, fatigue and respiratory illnesses; upper respiratory and blood infections, severe asthma attacks, dizziness, inability to 'get a deep breath".

How convenient is it that all of these symptoms are caused by chemtrails? Everything from pollen and pet dander allergies, to indigestion, to joint pain--all of these common maladies that people have experienced for eons, well before the invention of the airplane, all of these have the same symptoms as chemtrails!

In order for me to think outside the box, I need hard evidence.

Not what you've presented. Not pictures of contrails claimed to be chemtrails, not amateur speculation, not anecdotal evidence, and certainly not anonymous claims that they refill the chemical tanks when they empty the lavaoratory.

Makes sense. You make people pay a small amount towards their healthcare (certainly no more than they can afford), and it's still cheap enough for them to seek out medical care when they need it, while at the same time, keeping people from filling up the doctor's office with cases of sniffles.

Response to: Chemtrails Posted July 26th, 2007 in Politics

Thers always people like you that just loooooove to insult people.

I only insult people that bring it upon themselves. People that are naive enough into paranoia

I doubt that youve researched any of this.

Every legitimate source of knowledge disagrees with the whole notion of chemtrails.

Okay. Earthshine and ice crystals. Ill take your word for it.

You don't have to take my word for it. You can ask just about any accredited scientist, or anybody that's not a tin-foil hat wearing nut job, for that matter, and they'll tell you the same.

As far as the trails themselves, theres chemtrails and contrails. Contrails are really high in the sky and are water comning from behind the jet. Chemtrials, however, are closer to the ground and thicker.

Really? Every photo I see described as a chemtrail is interchangable with those of contrails.

Sometimes they are formed in to X's or tic-tac-toe patterns.

As are contrails.

These patterns sometimes cover entire towns.

Show us some examples.

No, I cant smell things that are thousands of feet up in the air, but I can smell them when the particles eventually descend down onto the earth.

And what do they smell like?

You can find a source for the contents of these chemicals if you just google "chemtrails". Also, I never said that I was an expert on these things.

You want to convince us to sign a petition, you find them and show them.

Ice crystals. See?

What are these chemical lines, you ask?

No, I don't ask. Because any sane person with the least bit of scientific knowledge knows they are composed of water. THEY ARE FUCKING WATER.

Lots of theories are floating around out there.

All of them emanating from beneath tin foil hats, no doubt.

Regardless, I doubt that breathing in chemicals for an extended period of time can be too healthy.

That's why you need to laminate your tin foil hat so you don't come into contact with the metal.

Yet the government insists that millions of people are just "imagining it".

Because they are.

Millions of people are just "imagining" jets forming X and tic-tac-toe shaped lines in the skies that leave a weird smell behind.

You can smell things at 30,000 feet above you huh?

Some things that have been found in these chemtrails are barium, aluminum, and even human pathogens.

Source?

Theres a bunch more things that I cant remember, but I doubt that breathing all that in is very healthy at all.

If you're such an expert on "chemtrails" then you ought to be able to recite them.

Depends on the jet stream and current weather patterns. Let's go to the map!

In the map below, the green arrows indicate wind direction. If Canada was nuked, areas on the western side of low pressure systems and behind cold fronts, as well as those on the eastern side of high-pressure areas, would experience contamination.

Moreover, since most of Canada's population lives in close proximity to the U.S. border, many northern U.S. counties would experience direct fallout from the blasts, in addition to wind-borne fallout.

I always find it funny when people say something like that. Indian reservations are all over, in every state. They have desert where their ancestors lived in desert, tropical areas, alpine areas, grasslands... all over.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en /0/02/Bia-map-indian-reservations-usa.pn g
This map disagrees with your assessment. Outside of the west and the Dakotas, nearly all reservations are minuscule, tiny enclaves.

They also don't pay taxes, have basically total sovereignty over their reservations, and are getting a pretty fucking good deal.

That's why so many suicide and murder rates on reservations are 1.5-2 times the national average?
[ http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/pub-res/natam.h tm]

Their ancestors' land was taken, yes, but that doesn't affect them today. If they really wanted to revert back to how they were before settlers arrived, then I wonder why instead of upholding their traditions and keeping their land unspoiled, they build gigantic Casinos, resorts, and other developments on their reservations?

They have to survive somehow. They can't live on the land (agriculture, herding,etc.) any longer, because they no longer have any land to live on. It's either arid desert or a small enclave of the most unproductive land in an area.

How to be a partisan pundit hack Posted July 23rd, 2007 in Politics

Step 1: Develop an ideology.
You have two choices--far left or far right. Sorry, no middle ground.

Step 2: Create a life story.
It doesn't matter if you've done it or not, what's important is that no one will fact check you on this. If they do, you should dismiss it publicly as an assault on one's family, rather than the issues.

Step 3: Develop a following.
Remember, your thoughts, opinion, and ego are more important than anyone else's. To prove it, you need to muster an army of moronic sheep that will follow, and more importantly, recite your thoughts, opinion, and ego to everyone that has the audacity to not watch/listen to you. A good way to develop a following is on local talk radio or tabloid/raunchy talk TV shows.

Step 4: It's all about you.
You should have your own TV and/or radio show, with your name as top billing.
Remember the show is all about you, your thoughts, your opinions, your ego. If it's not, you either need to take it somewhere that understands your importance, or else you're not cut out for the job.

Step 5: Preach the gospel.
Remember, your thoughts, opinion, and ego are more important than anyone else's. Spread it over the airwaves. If people disagree, they are wrong, hate America, hate our troops, hate our children, and kick puppies.

Step 6: Get your ego stroked.
You have two methods of doing this.

6a: Bring on guests and callers that agree with everything you say and think you're a Great American.
Guests, especially the bigger their egos, boost your ego to its climax. If you bring on pre-screened and vetted callers, go through them as quick as possible without really paying attention. The more you get on, the more you can show people agree with your ideas, thoughts, and ego.

6b. Bring on guests and callers that disagree with everything you say, or at least the subject at hand. Regardless of how often they agree with you, they should be treated as if they always disagree. After all, the subject at hand is the most important one, because you chose it; therefore, if they disagree with you on it, they must completely disagree with you.

Be sure to practice safe ego stroking when using this method, though, it can be unsafe. Some tips:

> Authors on book tours are usually suffering from jet-lag and are thus too nauseous to put up much of a fight.
> Yell. It shows confidence.
> If a point gets raised, or a guest won't let you interrupt, cut their mike. Use this time to mischaracterize everything they have said. For more orgasmic fun, put them back on and force them to defend your mischaracterization. If they don't, point out that they don't agree with what they just said, and thus don't know what they think.
>Make stuff up. Your guest doesn't have fact-checkers at his disposal to prove you wrong.
>WARNING! Under no circumstances should you debate another partisan pundit hack! By doing so, the above strategies no longer apply, due to ego overload. Carbon dioxide emissions and ego-swelling may reach dangerous levels!

7. Profit. Write a book, and by that I mean have a team of ghostwriters go through recent episodes of your show and encapsulate your rants into chapters. So what if they've already heard it? Your followers will lap it up. Want even more money? Write a novel, with a thinly veiled you as main character/hero. To keep readers interested and boost sales, be sure to graphically include acts that are "destroying America's morality." Remember, it's okay for your fictional characters to engage in these acts, because you, the author, are pro-morality.

If we had some safe way of disposing, reusing, or storing the waste, then it would be a great solution. Move the reactors underground, surrounded by a large, impermeable blast shell, which would limit, if not prevent, any air contamination or fallout from a potential accident.

Those that don't breed will be taken over by those who breed like rabbits, who will then reproduce more than the people they took over. It's already happening in Old Europe, and it's starting to happen in the U.S. with the influx of immigrants.

It's simple osmosis.
