I think the horrendous weather in Texas is a pretty convincing sign. As usual, it will take us going to the brink with it before we face up to the brutal reality. People can be very arrogant and not want to be seen to change their stance on something...even when it's pretty obvious.  Yes i heard that there is a big hurricane problem in the south USA. And this is only going to get worse. Wait until India , Bangladesh or Netherland gets under water due to the sea rising. If you think the current immigrant problem in Europe is bad, wait until 1 billion people will start migrating all over the place. Hurricane Harvey is just regular Texas weather. Ike, Katrina, etc. Nothing there related to anything but typical Gulf weather. |

Iran Bans ‘Ugly’ Women from Teaching…IRAN has sparked outrage on social media after banning women with “facial hair”, anyone with acne or fewer than 20 teeth from teaching in classrooms..... Shahindokht Molaverdi, an adviser to the President Hassan Rouhani on citizen’s rights, promised that the list would be investigated. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4315644/iran-teacher-rules-women-facial-hair-acne-teaching/The Women Evaluator's Office is now open.

If these banned posters were just being trolls, then I have no problem with it. I mean these posters are staring at scientific evidence in the face and denying its truth and validity in a science forum itself.
Sez who? Methinks it is the Reddit forum and it's moderators that are denying science. Most of the posts there are auto generated by the forum moderators, and most are pure propaganda. However, let's assume you are correct, and some poster stared scientific evidence in the fact and denied its truth and validity. Let's say he vigorously defended his incorrect position, and all of the Reddit moderators and visitors were unable to argue down the convincing presentations made. That's called DEBATE. In the absence of that, you don't have a science forum. You have a forum ran by Deniers of Science. So here you go, buddy. The crust of the earth is elastic, which is obvious because gravity has formed it into a near sphere. Worry about sea level rise is groundless, because whether the h20 is ice or water, the same weight pushes inward, and the forces will equalize. A bit more weight, a bit more compression, and hence there will be no sea level rise, even if all of Greenland were to melt. Either refute this with science, or shut the fuck up. Gravity is bullshit, it's an unproven theory. You are going to have trouble proving gravity is actually excreted from bulls. |

All presidents are under lots of pressure. Trump has the advantage. His hair is already gray YELLOW.  FTFY   Gray vs yellow, yellow vs gray... You know what they say... Close enough for government work! |

There has been enough scientific research and evidence to prove to me that Global Warming is definitely real.
That's common sense, but you'll find many on here that have no common sense.  I know global warming is real, but I don't care enough to do anything about it. I have no children and won't live long enough for it to become a serious problem in my lifetime. I can't believe why there still are people who think this isn't real. We already are seeing and feeling the effects of global warming all around the world and some are still in denial about it, probably until it becomes to late. Huge storms are coming in to Houston every year now, like we never seen before. That's false. |

I think it's very evident that Global warming is very real, the melting polar caps and the rising temperatures is evidence enough that it is real. I think we should figure out how to stop that's finding a solution rather than argue whether it's real or not.
I think it's important to figure out how to stop or stall the next ice age. Global warming doesn't matter to me at all. |

BTW, I hope that as soon as the Mexico wall is underway work is started on the Canadian wall. Truedue (and the dumb-fucks who voted for him and his type) seem to be on track to turn Canada into a globalist disaster and will need one there as well. Thank God for the Atlantic ocean which helps buffer against the disease that afflicts Europe.
I'm all for a wall around Washington DC. The country needs protection from this bunch of morons around there. And we can run the country fine from somewhere else, because we've got internet. |

I appreciate the decision because army needs proper fitness without any hurdles, transgenders may have many complexities in their living which can make the authorities to spend extra money and effort on them.
You have a great point, Transgenders may somehow tend to have a lot of limitation because of the surgeries that they've undergo. I guess that this rule was just limited to transgenders right? now not all the LGBT? because if so then it is quite unfair because there are actually strong Gays or LEsbians That's correct, it is strictly about transgender meaning surgical sex change, and whether that is a "right" and whether the military should accept those who have such surgeries. |

he has also banned the Department of Defense from using its resources to provide medical treatment for transgender individuals currently serving in the military
The Army funds must be spent on the medical treatment of the veterans who were maimed and injured in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. These funds should not be wasted on sex-change surgeries (i.e. medical treatment for transgenders, as they call it). Considering the prevalence of transgender servicemembers among the active duty military and the typical health-care costs for gender-transition-related medical treatment, the Rand study estimated that these treatments would cost the military between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually.
The study didn't include estimates of these costs for reservists, because of their “highly limited military health care eligibility.” It also didn't include estimates for retirees or military family members, because many of those individuals may also have “limited eligibility” for care via military treatment facilities.
“The implication is that even in the most extreme scenario that we were able to identify … we expect only a 0.13-percent ($8.4 million out of $6.2 billion) increase in health care spending,” Rand's authors concluded.
By contrast, total military spending on erectile dysfunction medicines amounts to $84 million annually, according to an analysis by the Military Times — 10 times the cost of annual transition-related medical care for active duty transgender servicemembers. The facts are that there are so few transgender folks in the military; that if you gave them golden assholes, it still wouldnt amount to a whole lot. Meanwhile, I pay taxes so that other folks in the military can get dick pills. My dick, works amazing. So I would rather the money be spent on more meatshields, more boots on the ground, rather than supporting someone having a fucking erection. Other poster, you are right. It is not a right to serve your country, it is a duty. Sad is the day when ideology prevents a patriotic citizen from doing just that. Meh. Thats them changes. Lying with statistics are we? Comparing the cost of hundreds of thousands of Viagra prescriptions with a few hundred or a thousand trying to get a free ride on the sex change? How about the cost per person? How about including non active duty? How about the fact that transexual isn't a medical disease? Should medical cover anything you want, not just diseases? |

That's just wrong, nobody can take away the will of somebody to stand up and fight and serve for his or her country. For someone who loves his country, taking away this privilege is really something. I believe that many of our brothers and sisters who are transgenders are ready to serve their country, and I believe that they should not be robbed of their rights.
It isn't a right to serve in the armed forces, and never has been. What Trump has done is simply to return to the rules that were in effect before Obama changed them. http://www.snopes.com/2017/07/27/how-many-transgender-people-currently-serve-in-the-u-s-military/ the Associated Press reported on 23 June 2017 that 250 service members have already begun the process of transitioning to the gender they identify with after the ban on their open service was lifted in 2016 |

Yes, global warming is real and I feel it every year when it becomes unbearably hot. We need to do something else, otherwise we can just burn out because of too high a temperature.
So a world government is going to take your money and give you a nice cool world? Much more likely they would tell you if you could even own an air conditioner and tax it's use. |

But who is the judge of who "knows Islam," and the arbitrator of what is a "misconception?" |

That's discrimination, being a transgender doesn't make them less of a person. They have all the capabilities that is maybe more than those straight people have. As far as I know they are talented and independent and were good in the fields that they were in.
This is such nonsense. Not too long ago the Marine standards were relaxed so that women could pass. What's the rule now, 3 pushups? |

Islam doesn't hate people. People hate Islam. Isn't it obvious? Everytime there is any small attack like a few people died it goes all over the world what about other places where thousands are dying no one talks about it?  Are jews people and should they be respected? Are gays people and should they be respected? Are ex muslims people and should they be respected? Yes, yes, and yes and yes. And ex-Scientologists should be respected. But CURRENT scientologists.... tom_cruise_feelsbadman_face.gif Well, that's a pretty hateable bunch of weird cultists. |

.... Preet Bharara... That's the demon-crat who sent Dinesh D’Souza in jail... I wonder why God Emperor President Trump would get rid of him... Was it really. The swamp does need to be cleaned. Including the swamp creatures that thought it would be nice to be in the White House. That thought they'd be safe there. |

Weather is not climate.
Perceptions about how hot or extreme weather is, or recollections about weather in the past, are not climate. |

Not so much. I pretty much despise politicians.  But it beats the GOP flavor:  Fortunately, there are hundreds of flavors. Myself, I prefer roast Penquin. The dolphin burger ice cream is killer. It appears there are many, many GOP flavors, but DEM (and GOPdems) ice cream...if you have the right sunglasses it's easy to see what it really is ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntns8Xp3-rATRUMP is my sunglasses... Yes, that rings true. Pass the MAGA sauce, please? |
