Reply to Long-term ice core samples for global warming data in Politics Stardock Forums

First, I think you're posting this in the wrong account. I specifically stopped visiting the "opinionated techie" blog because of these types of articles, but I still visited "Skinning the Frog" because it was about games and "My site for talking about the customization of Windows." Second, the temperature data for europe in the middle ages disagrees with temperature data from other parts of the globe, suggesting that it was a local phenomena. This means the Greenland ice s

This is an example of why Obama creeps me out Yeah, it's the logo that creeps you out. I'm sure you'd LOVE Obama if it wasn't for that. At this point, it's really about finding reasons to justify your previously held opinions. this "famous German political leader" you mention was also obssessed with massive crowds. Hitler liked crowds. Obama likes crowds. Yup, they sound pretty much identical to me.&n

Reply to Couple ordered to stop holding bible study at home without permit in Politics JoeUser Forums

The ACLU is not usually a friend of Christians. In fact, they are mostly against them. Almost every Christian I know shudders when they hear mention of the ACLU. Usually when the Christian rights are violated, the question asked is "where's the ACLU when you need them?" Yes, the right-wing media loves to hate the ACLU. I think the ACLU is odd, and can't always agree or disagree with them. As it turns out, a news story (f

Is anyone surprised that FOX didn't reveal all the facts? The snopes article states that they averaged about 15 people - which was the major reason for saying they needed a major land use permit. (I still don't agree, but it contrasts with FOX' news quote that says they just wanted to " have a few friends over .") Second, if this really was just a few friends, you can bet that the ACLU would be all over it - they'd be defending the right to a reli

> This is old territory, but Fox's bias is fully disclosed and confined to the commentary shows Yeah, "fair balanced and accurate" isn't that their new slogan? Is that what you mean by "fully disclosed"? FOX has made their money by selling a commodity: giving people the news coverage they want to hear. I understand that conservatives were an underserved market, but we're definitely blurring the lines between "telling people what they want to hear because it makes u

Reply to Media bias video in Politics Stardock Forums

So many things to ssay about this video: - The CNN reporter in the video was obviously biased (even I - a liberal - pointed that out on my blog when I saw that video last month). I thought she was very unprofessional. - It's unfair for the right-wing media to claim her as representative of the media. I understand their reasons for doing so - she's a great lighting-rod that they can use to build conservative outrage. - It struck me as absurd that this conservat
