'''He has me nowhere.''' [[User:Scorpionman|Scorpionman]] 08:10, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

:I'll bet, though, that ''you'' are a 16-year-old whose voice hasn't broken and who gets beaten up at school. Heck, while I'm hypothesizing, you're probably a tiny little 5-footer who couldn't hit a barn with a beachball if you tried and probably spend all day insulting people on internet message boards. No? Well, what you said was false also. [[User:Scorpionman|Scorpionman]] 14:56, 14 March 2007 (EDT)
:Oh yes, and squids happen to be one of my favorite animals so that wasn't neccessarily an insult. [[User:Scorpionman|Scorpionman]] 15:00, 14 March 2007 (EDT)
:And just to let you know, the last time somebody tried to beat me up he ended up with a big-time headache. So I wouldn't advise you to try it. [[User:Scorpionman|Scorpionman]] 15:03, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

:I wouldn't care if you were a black belt in taikwondo (a black belt in taikwondo goes to my church, by the way, and could probably beat the living daylights out of you) I'm about 6', and I didn't avoid school because I "didn't" have the guts or had to "hide behind mommy and daddy". This is a filthy lie; you know nothing about me so shut up. I don't spend all day on this site; I'm a cook, but am also trying to go for a career in graphic art. BTW, I probably know more about viruses and bacteria and how to effectively destroy them than you do, but what does that have to do with this? So you're baritone. Cool; I'm bass. What do you think of that silly little accusation now? I actually did go to school for a while, but mind it was a Christian school. So I haven't "hidden behind mommy and daddy"; and I don't stand for insults. However, I don't go around beating people up who insult my parents. [[User:Scorpionman|Scorpionman]] 13:01, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
:And here's what I am: I'm a living corpse made from dismembered body parts. You, on the other hand, are probably just a hunchbacked little grave robber. Haha [[User:Scorpionman|Scorpionman]] 13:15, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

::::Fie on thee, cuckhold! Thine own head may be smited for thine infidelish talk! Curse thee and go thy way, or I shall be wroth and smite thee for thine infidelish talk! [[User:Shakespeare|Shakespeare]] 14:26, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Global warming

2007-03-10T04:48:08Z

Shakespeare:

'''Global warming''' is a phrase which commonly refers to a scientific theory and to political proposals that follow if the theory is accepted. The scientific theory is widely but not universally accepted within the scientific community. Conservatives who are opposed to the political proposals that flow from acceptance of the theory, are properly skeptical of the motivations of the theorists, and challenge the scientific validity of portions of the theory. The phrase really includes three separate theories.
:1) The theory that we are currently in a period of rapid climate change consisting of increasing temperature, which, if it were to continue, would have important socio-economic consequences well within the next century.
:2) The theory that this change is caused by increasing CO2 gasses and a resulting "greenhouse" effect.
:3) The theory that this change is caused by human activity, mostly industrial emissions of carbon-based "greenhouse gasses."
Therefore, the phrase has also come to apply to
:4) The proposal that global warming can and should be reversed by taking large-scale international action to reduce greenhouse emissions.

Point #1 has become very widely accepted in the past few decades, even by conservatives who were once skeptical.

Points #2 and point #3 are more controversial, although widely accepted by scientists. Points #3 is the one most attacked by global warming skeptics.

Point #4 is what the political and international debate are about. Both climate change itself, and the very large-scale actions that are proposed to combat it, would have enormous economic effects with identifiable winners and losers, resulting in an intense debate. For example, since the industrialized nations emit most of the CO2, if it were agreed that these emissions needed to be reduced sharply, the burden would fall much more heavily on these nations than on undeveloped nations.

Al Gore, Vice President under President Clinton from 1992 to 2000, is a high profile advocate of the full global warming theory. Promoters of this theory, including many prominent scientists, call for international treaties, like one proposed in Kyoto, Japan, to limit carbon emissions using a combination of conservation and technological innovation.

The theory is widely accepted within the scientific community because of the vast amount of conclusive evidence, though that is not to say there is unanimity..<ref>Myths of Global Warming[http://www.ncpa.org/ba/ba230.html]</ref><ref>No Evidence for Global Warming[http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed012298b.cfm]</ref> On February 2, 2007, an internatonal panel of hundreds of scientists and representatives of 113 governments issued a report concluding:
:The observed widespread warming of the atmosphere and ocean, together with ice-mass loss, support the conclusion that it is extremely unlikely that global climate change of the past 50 years can be explained without external forcing, and very likely that is not due to known natural causes alone."<ref>Borenstein, Seth (2007), "Warming 'Likely' Man-Made, Unstoppable." Associated Press, as published by Forbes[http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/02/02/ap3388409.html]</ref>

It should be noted that these scientists are motivated by a need for grant money in their field of climatology. Therefore, their work can not be considered unbiased, though no more than any scientist in any other field .<ref>FOX News: "On Global Warming: Follow the Money Indeed!" Feb 12, 2007[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,251458,00.html]</ref>. Also, these scientists are mostly liberal athiests, untroubled by the hubris that man can destroy the Earth which God gave him.<ref>Gloval Warming & Evolution[http://atheism.about.com/b/a/238739.htm]</ref>

The suggestion of climate change by the Left is considered by many to be part of a larger, more sophistocated plot to increase the size of the federal government. By focusing on the long-term effects of the yet unproven theory, liberal politicians would have the ability to impose higher taxes (especially on carbon), enforce more regulation on corporations' production policies, and create any number of bureaucratic agencies necessary to further promote a big-government agenda. This type of strategy would require the general American public to buy into radical fear-mongering- something that it proved itself capable of during the post-9/11 terrorism paranoia incited by big-goverment Neoconservatives.

There are some scientists among the critics of the theory that global warming is caused by human activity. As they have sought funding from the very industries that face regulation, thier bias is real and thier conclusions should be suspect. For example, Dr. Fred Singer observed that "CO2 changes have lagged about 800 years behind the temperature changes. Global warming has produced more CO2, rather than more CO2 producing global warming."<ref>S. Fred Singer and Dennis T.
Avery, "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007)</ref> Though, it must be said, that no scientist denies that CO2 has lagged behind temperature at certain times in Earth's history. They maintain this doesn't negate in any way CO2 influence on temperature. It merely means it wasnt a first cause of temperature increase at particular times in Earths distance history.."<ref>What the lag of CO2 behind temperature in ice cores tell us about global warming

Mitt Romney

2007-03-10T04:30:54Z

Shakespeare:

'''Willard Mitt Romney''' (born 1947, goes by Mitt), served as the governor of [[Massachusetts]] from 2002 to 2006 and is a Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election. If elected, he will become the first Mormon president. Currently, Romney is gaining popularity because his stable marriage attracts conservative audiences who are unhappy with [[John McCain]], [[Rudy Giulliani]], and [[Newt Gingrich]]'s many divorces. The irony that the Mormon has been married the least times of all the candidates was pointed out by Romney's wife, Ann, who said the difference between her husband and the other candidates is that "he's had only one wife."<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070224/ap_on_el_pr/romney_polygamy]</ref>

Romney's critics attack his inconsistent track record on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Although Romney now identifies himself as pro-life and anti-same sex marriage, he claimed to be pro choice and supported same-sex rights as late as 2002. These swaps coupled with his [[Mormon]] affiliation puts him at odds with much of the Evangelical right, but a PollingReport.com chart from March 3, 2007 indicates that Mitt was still polling around 7% withing the GOP primary forecasts.
