    yeah I was talking to someone who believe the Earth was flat and they said that exact same thing.

    so if it's boring and wrong why are you addressing it? Who are you trying to convince?

    again I've been told the exact same thing by someone who insisted the Earth was flat.

    this is the virtue of this particular religion. You give up some comfort as some form of atonement for your sins thinking it's going to make a dime's worth of difference.

    You could give up every comfort of modern living you can go live in a shack with no power no water and just live off the land and it won't make a dime's worth of difference because China and India are not going to do that.

    So spare me your pious nonsense I reject your religion.


    what about the data that there's an entire planet involved here? I bet that doesn't come into your thought process you're so desperate to try and appease your god that you don't think about whether or not it's really a god.

    No, it's not. And you just proved it. RETRACTING papers is a result of SCIENTIFIC PEER REVIEW and a NORMAL part of the process. Good lord, did you not pay attention in all those science classes you had to take!? This is why we TRUST science, it's based on a method, not what YOU believe to be true. Also, they ENCOURAGE other scientists to pick apart known and established science. What other profession does that? Not business, real estate, or politics, the three ones YOUR guy is in. Try again.

    I know you're a fair guy, that's why you'll see I was making a comparison and not wishing for death threats.

    I didn't say it was wrong, I said in this case, it appeals to the worst in you. Also, there's little to mock her about. She's largely right and you and Trump are largely wrong.

    I'm sure you were and did.

    Go ahead, show up my religion with data and logical conclusions based on that data. Show how all the science and research that says your wrong is just a belief designed to make you live in an unairconditioned shack. PROVE to me that you're right. I'll wait.

    I listen to Mexicans speaking in Spanish all day long and I don't speak with a Mexican accent.

    Every German I know who speaks English speaks with a German accent.

    I commented that already in my previous post. It was a non aggression thing, not an alliance. And again, Hitler started with locking up communists in concentration camps. That was years before he did that to the Jews. He also killed more unarmed locked up communists than he killed Jews. You're just ignoring all that, in order to rewrite history. But that attempt is a fail.

    Everything you do will be erased a thousand times over because China and India share the world with us.

    Why would I? Your religion isn't law.

    Oh so you can't because you don't understand the data, science, or how to draw conclusions from it? Gotcha. You're just someone posting on the internet.

    Of course they share the world with us. The notion that developing nations pollute more is a known. The earth's climate is a large chemical system. If you output CO2 in one area, you can offset it by outputting less in another. So your notion that nothing we do matters because of China and India, fails the most basic of logical tests. Please, try again. You can do it. I believe in you.

    Oh my God. OK, if you learned your Spanish in Mexico, you would speak your Spanish in a Mexican accent. Your accent is largely where and who you learned the language from. It's not based on your country of origin.

    Herer's my entire quote:

    if we're going to compare this girl to the MAGA hat kid, then she needs to get some death threats and be called a racist on national TV.

    Maybe I worded it in a way that my thoughts could be read wrong, but I never wished her or anyone else harm during my time on this board.

    Yes, and I took it in a negative way. I should be more flexible.

    On the other hand.......
    when facing the very real possibility of a Bear Market as opposed to the larger and larger and larger Bull Market that we are used to........

    ..... sometimes it may be necessary to be a little rude to make sure that the Derivatives Markets stays reasonably stable for a few more months or years until this mess can be better undertood and responded to.


    Responding to a BEAR market vs a Bull market?


    FORGET IRAN, IRAQ, UKRAINE
    THIS IS WHERE WWIII STARTS...

    if that is what you truly believe you'd just dismiss me as some loon

    Not known believed
    Magically. Yeah I'm sure the 4% put out by the United States dwarfs the 75% put out by China and India. That's how you atone for your sins.
    Not interested, I stand by my logic.

    The KPD and the NSDAP fought each other for control of Germany, but they were on the same end of the political spectrum. The Communists and Nazis joined each other in key battles in the Reichstag before1933.

    “Not a few reports added that Hitler had won support and sympathy among those who had previously shown reserve toward the regime, and even among former opponents of Nazism. The report from one small industrial town , where the KPD had done relatively well before 1933 went so far as to claim that ‘the Fuhrer …is not only admired, he is deified’ and that through his forceful action he had won ‘enormous support ‘, especially among those who had formerly been hesitant about their attitudes to Nazism.” Ian Kershaw, “The Hitler Myth,” “Image and Reality in the Third Reich,” Oxford University Press, 1991 p 90. P. 86.

    Finally the opponents of the regime reached the following conclusion, after the purge of the SA, in “Sopode “:

    “Large sections of the working class have also become enslaved to the uncritical deification of Hitler for his ruthless determination and only a small portion has been set thinking or been shocked.” P. 87.

    In fact, science fraud - Fake Science is now very common.

    "Can’t take criticism? Just make up your own reviews! It may sound far-fetched, but we’ve now counted more than 270 retractions, more than half of them this year, which occurred because authors or editors compromised the peer-review process in some way—most egregiously, some authors faked email addresses for peer reviewers and gave their own papers a green light."

    Putting their daughter on stage to whore for them should have drawn your judgement as being "the worst".
    But it didn't.

    Children are not independent thinkers. They are being taught to think by parents and teachers. The differences between an adult and a raw child are not subtle.

    Greta is a child.

    Good. I'm glad. It will serve her better to have to stand in the face of adversity. To have her argument validated by standing against criticism. Otherwise she's just a brat using her "crying eyes" to get what she wants. Guaranteed a woman told her to do that.

    I agree CC is real, but I don't agree the solution is my American dollars.
