Why such bad incidents taking place for the people. They have not anything bad, they're just supporting people in their bad situation, even when no countries came forward to give support.

You reap what you sow...

We shouldn't have colonized the world, we shouldn't have used and destroyed them, we shouldn't have burnt to the ground their cultures and civilization...

Now it's too late. No peace is possible. We can either finish them or drawn.
Clearly, if you believe this, then you should stop using the computer, and the internet, these being shameful creations built on the backs of those enslaved by the West.

I await your announcement of taking this positive step in the direction of fixing your share in the wrongness.


Problem is: you can't. I mean by that you SERIOUSLY can't. Nothing in our societies allow you to live in a "fair" way.
Easy example: clothes. Don't know for you but where I live there is not a shop selling anything but Asian made clothes.

Except for some local "fashion shops" each clothe being unique and... special... And also 3000€.

Internet is not "shameful creations built on the backs of those enslaved by the West." though. Don't know why you're saying so.

Information post

Here is a quote of myself as Spendulus and his followers seem to just ignored it.

Please feel free to not blindly trust me but follow the links. You'll see it appear they just made plain lies and can't admit it.

Unless you understand "the increase went from 0.17 to 0.11 which is not understood by our models and is interesting" as "there is no longer increase and a pause".

Spendulus and Wilikon gave this article out saying it proves the "pause they're all claiming". here is the article:

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/02/mann-splaining-the-pause.php

Of course ti's not a scientific article or study just a blog. But no problem the article says there is a pause so it's interesting. It's using a very biased vocabulary but hey, who has no opinion? It's not a crime to be happy when your side wins!

Let's check the sources then. Not very diversified sourcing but well. Mainly Nature articles so let's check them.

First source:
http://www.nature.com/news/global-warming-hiatus-debate-flares-up-again-1.19414?WT.ec_id=NEWS-20160225&spMailingID=50779167&spUserID=MTc2NjY4OTI4MwS2&spJobID=863136582&spReportId=ODYzMTM2NTgyS0

Do they talk about a pause in temperature?
"The debate revolves in part around statistics on temperature trends. The study1 that questioned the existence of the slowdown corrected known biases in the surface temperature record maintained by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), such as differences in temperature readings from ships and buoys. This effectively increased the warming recorded, and the researchers also extended the record to include 2014, which set a new record high for average temperatures.

That work, led by Thomas Karl, director of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, North Carolina, calculated the rate of global warming between 1950 and 1999 as being 0.113 °C per decade, similar to the 0.116 °C a decade calculated for 2000–14. This, Karl said, meant that an assessment done by the influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 20133  showing that warming had slowed was no longer valid.

Fyfe and his colleagues argue2 that Karl’s approach was biased by a period of relatively flat temperatures that extended from the 1950s into the early 1970s. Greenhouse-gas emissions were lower then, and emissions of industrial pollutants such as sulphate aerosols were cooling the planet by reflecting sunlight back into space. Fyfe says that his calculations show that the planet warmed at 0.170 °C per decade from 1972 to 2001, which is significantly higher than the warming of 0.113 °C per decade he calculates for 2000–14."

Ok so they never talk about a pause here... They talk about a slow down...

Let's check the second source:
http://www.nature.com/news/climate-change-hiatus-disappears-with-new-data-1.17700

"All told, Karl's team finds that global temperatures increased at a rate of 0.116°C a decade in 2000–14, compared to a rate of 0.113°C in 1950–99. And Karl says that rate will probably go up once his team calculates the temperature increase for the entirety of the rapidly warming Arctic. Researchers found in 2013 that gaps in Arctic observations artificially cooled the Met Office temperature record2.

The latest study only resolved part of the question. Climate models used by the IPCC still project warming to continue, but scientists have documented various factors for which the models have not accounted, resulting in suppressed temperatures. These contributors include weak solar irradiation, volcanic aerosols that block sunlight and ocean circulation3.

“Once you take into account the slight forcing errors, the actual occurrence of El Nińos, et cetera, there is very little left to explain,” says Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City."

Damn no pause here either!


Could it be possible that they talk only about a slow down because it's all there is?

I listened to much of Trump´s news conference last night. Outstanding performance as far as I´m concerned, 10/10. He´s a master.

More from Bill Still

Still Report #691 - Trump's Amazing News Conference

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt0sirepPTg



FOX News Gained 700,000 Viewers for Trump Victory Speech – Lost One Million Viewers When It was Over



    Donald Trump bragged about his wine, his water and his steaks during his “Super Tuesday 2” primary night news conference. Based on early ratings data from Nielsen, he can add another feather to his cap: his ratings.

    Trump’s presser dominated cable news coverage on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC during the 9 p.m. hour, and the ratings reflect that. All told, an average of 8.8 million viewers were watching one of those three channels during the 9 p.m. hour. Compare that to an average of 7.4 million people watching during the 8 p.m. hour and 7.3 million people watching during the 10 p.m. hour.

    Fox News added 700,000 viewers in the 9 p.m. hour (for a total of 4.24 million viewers) compared to 8 p.m. and lost more than 1 million viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. CNN added 500,000 viewers from 8 to 9 p.m. (2.97 million viewers) and lost more than 300,000 at 10 p.m. MSNBC gained more than 100,000 viewers in the 9 p.m. hour (1.65 million viewers) compared to 8 p.m., and lost 100,000 in the 10 p.m. hour.

Oh please... Bernie is up by 6% according to the national polls...

Bernie also beat the Polls in Michigan by 22.9%!!!

If all the polls are off by 22.9%, Bernie should win by 28.9%... can you say landslide?


I get no satisfaction beating a dead horse that does not know it is dead already. You can camp, eat and use the bathroom in this thread if you want. Bring your own food, water from the toilette is free.

I had the unfortunate experience once of encountering a horse by the side of the road that was the victim of a hit and run.  It was bleeding profusely, and it was, as you say, a dead horse that did not know it was dead already. 

Having no guns or knives to put the poor animal out of it's misery, there was nothing I could do.  The thought actually did cross my mind, though.  "I could beat the dead horse," and then I would be able to say I beat a dead horse.  But that it was already dead did not mean it might not bite back. 

It's useful, though to attempt to actualize many phrases used in speech.  Now I'm not an advocate of beating dead horses, you see.  From the above it's obvious that I declined the opportunity.  But I do suggest that advocates of Bernie mull all this over while they piss into the wind.

Wut? A horse killed by a car?
Where do you live? You got some wild horses? That still exists? Oo

i heard bitcoin is anonymity and make me interested so i think no one can know my transaction but in fact bitcoin isn't full anonymity.

Bitcoin is full anonymity!

You just got to use a coin mixer from time to time!

Coin mixers are here in order to change your coins for others, exactly identical but with a different history. Which is a good way to keep anonymity.
That's a bit like if you're being tracked by dogs and you go through a river! Best way to cut tracks ^^

808  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who will win WW3? on: March 10, 2016, 01:08:01 PM
There´s nothing unusual about a military exercise in Norway. It´s an annual event. But they´ve been getting bigger in recent years and this one has 15,000 troops involved. That´s pretty major. And those B-52´s training bombing runs. That´s new. Could be something but most likely just noise. Like its high command NATO´s military is largely useless as has been very evident in its laughable performances here and there and in Afghanistan. The U.S. military, well its record speaks for itself and the mess that´s left behind as it retreats tail between legs from its various clusterfucks.

Of course. It's just a way to tell Russia and Europe 'hey, remember all, I still got some army left! You can't bully me without paying a price, probably much higher that the profits you could earn from an attack!"

Largest military so what? They use it abusively without thinking about consequences, This goes directly into the YES section. And how is NSA not being able to keep his eyes on his job a good thing? They spy their citizens and their allies! How can it be the sign of a great nation?

Don't know for you but in some countries contraception is funded by government, so you get a funding for having sex :3

Yeah, the Americans have very much butchered the word, the liberal left in America are anything but liberal in the way they act, especially when it comes to matters of religion, they'll happily throw shit at evil white Christians, but criticise Islamists with brown skin? Nope, it's all fucked up, this is why you have people in America sometimes using the term 'classical liberalism' which refers back to the liberals back in the day who did care about freedom of speech and expression and didn't go around acting like Capitalism is evil.

Exactly. Liberals are the ones who always spit on foreign things because they support tradition, and they can't fight capitalism! Capitalis = liberals! It's the main point of liberals, having a capitalist economy!

So hard to call lefties liberals, it's like calling righties socialists xD

Even Bill Maher gets pissed with them and he's the left of the left when it comes to mainstream politics, I do feel for the guy because he's one of the few standing up for freedom of speech and expression and then he gets attacked for it.

Don't know who he is or who pissed him off ^^'

Using an alt-coin as collateral is like using a rusty VW bus as collateral in the purchase of a Ferrari.

Collateral has to be worth more than the loan.

Well first if you got enough rusty vW bus, the price of the metal can cover the price of the ferrari.
And not all altcoin are rusty vW buses, some are just cheap cars.

But here it's not a bus, it's like a big pile of shit ^^

Is Bernie going to win Michigan?  They are saying he has a slight lead but no announcement yet.  I think this would be a big surprise since Clinton was leading in the poles.

Michigan is my island

Bernie won like I said he would... I'm probably the only person who called Michigan for Bernie

Well, Bern is actually keeping up the pace. Maybe he could come back?

So liberal is for the lefties in the USA?

But that's dumb as hell! Lefties are, by definition, not liberals! Most socialists are against free market, nearly all in fact!

But liberal is not only economic term. Maybe lefties aren't liberal in terms of economy way but in all others are.

Most people are liberals from a moral point of view.

And from a cultural point of view lefties aren't liberals. They're for regulation by government in all aspects of life. Which is exactly the opposite of liberalism.

Orrrrrr the ad-blocker would just keep on using the software?

And before someone states how there are scripts to detect ad blockers, think about it for a moment; I'm sure a blog or website with ads would see a decrease of literally about 75% of their readers who would be annoyed to be forced to pay or turn their ad blockers off.

Well, personally I already turn off my adblock in some sites.

And better 75% less readers than 100% of reader who bring no profit because they block the adds Sad

A bitcoin oligarchy is better than a bitcoin democracy.

A democracy is a 51% attack, 51% of people vote for redistributing your coins to them, and you`d have no say in the matter.

So lets avoid that disaster.

Stupid remark. A bitcoin democracy would apply to how the network works. It couldn't take out the coins from your wallet to spread it.

But tell us more how an olligarchy is better than a democracy Roll Eyes
