You misrepresent the facts, which are clear right in the pages of this thread.

I provided direct links to the scientific data.  The only reason I did that is because you didn't seem to know where or how to find it it.  I explained, also, about the exact meaning of significance in trends as used by scientists. 

And I stand by my assertion.  If you DENY the hiatus, pause, "no warming in 19 years" in any fashion whatsoever,

You are a Denier.  

Smiley

So are 99% of scientists in the world?

That's a sad news for the global scientific community.

Look, 99% ARE NOT denying the "hiatus, pause, no warming in 19," etc.  That's why I am saying this.  The reasons these words and this concept exist is that it is well understood and discussed by those in the field. 

I mean, think about it.  If I reference the actual data and state the issue accurately, "No statistically significant warming in 19 years," please explain how you can get around that data set and that claim. 

By the way.  It's OKAY if you are a Denier.  I don't mind.  Really I don't.  Nobody here is going to fire you, throw you out, or even make fun of you.

Had Trump won the Texas primaries, then the race would have been well over by now. But Cruz won the state by a big margin (4/5th of the delegates), and that means that the race is still open. So basically now, it is Trump vs Cruz. I am not even considering Rubio as a serious candidate now, as he has mostly 3rd place or 4th place finishes. If he can't win Florida, then it is over for him.
The only way what you have said is true is if the republican establishment lines up with Trump, which I think they will.  Because Cruz is a Tea Party guy and they are really his enemy.

Or are they the enemy of Cruz and Trump equally, from their leaking lifeboat where they argue?

I don't even know any more.

This is an absolute joke!
What message will we be sending out to all those youngsters that are avid fans of this great movie? That being gay is ok?
I think this is totally unethical and morally wrong, gayism should not be commercialized.
Yes, it should stay behind closed doors. A lot of people will agree with my perception but those that do not agree will obviously be gay and supporters of this. Unnatural or unethical things should be brought into limelight in my opinion.

What the pink mafia wants is overt representation of their lifestyle in the media.  That means that they want guys kissing, guys dancing with each other, on and on.  So yes, you think it should stay behind closed doors and they want the opposite.

Then again, any typical cop/drama/shoot it up usually has nearly nude sex scenes. 

THOSE ARE NOT IN STAR TREK EITHER!  So why does the plot and the series have to be sexualized at all?  In any direction?  Isn't a large part of the problem the sexualization of any and everything?

Oh it not gonna stop. America will die like a drunk guy who suffocates in his own vomit.

And to be fair if they elect something like this they will have clearly deserved it!

Oh god that's funny, I am actually dying with laughter, you can tell that the left will be in total meltdown if this guy wins.

There's an odd seriousness about the fact that Trump has made a joke of the parties and the political process.  It seems like after listening to him, another politician comes on and you hear the dude, and it's like "Oh, another politician."  Does not matter which party or slant.  It's like you are just hearing a sales pitch.

Trump is just saying, well, we can work and create jobs and fix things.  There's no magic platter.

It's true that other politicians have tried to say this and it rang flat.  Not sure I know where the difference is or why. 

But he has definitely brought out the joke, that was politics.  Thing is, it was there all along.

Here are the profiles of Sanders and Trump on Politifact.

Tell me just one thing you Trumpers, how do you justify that nearly 80% of what Trump says is at least mostly false?

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/bernie-s/

Is there any justification for that?

Looking through a number of those, I don't think they are realistic assessments of "true or false."

Not in the least.
8766  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: March 02, 2016, 04:42:07 PM
Funny how whatever is said here you still don't explain why your so protected states such as Texas have still this huge number of rapes and violent crimes. Higher than in less protected states.

I thought guns were here to protect you?
I did explain your attempt to insist correlation equals causation.  It's all caused by pet tigers.

Oh thanks professor Spendulus. So even if we're actually looking at how guns can help fight crimes, correlation between gun accessibility and crimes rates are not relevant?

Do you do everything like this in your life too?
Does that mean that when you say "I love this watch" to your wife while shopping and she buys it to you on your birthday you spit on her and yell at her that "correlation isn't equal to causation! It's not because I said that I loved it that I actually wanted it!".  Roll Eyes

Correlation has to be handled cautiously, and if you give me parameters that can play a role here I'll gladly revise my judgement. But considering my claim is: more guns doesn't imply a better security, I'd say that correlation between number of guns and crime rates is a FUCKING GOOD ARGUMENT!
Your words negate your argument.  You are only saying "I'd Like" the correlation to be causation.  You have not proved it or even tried to.

Therefore, my "pet tigers" argument is equally good.

I don't get the impression you even know how to equate correlation to causation. 

Hint:  It's NOT DONE by stating an opinion....

So there is no link between gun accessibility and crime rates for you? That's what you're implying by denying the correlation I raised between those two factors?
You didn't and have not raised any correlation.

If you want, go ahead and compute the variance and show the correlation.  Be my guest.

Storm Jake is set to lash Britain on Wednesday, bringing ice, snow and wind gusts of up to 70mph.

Cold air will sweep across the majority of the country, with showers likely to turn into sleet and snow.

The Met Office is warning motorists to be careful on the roads after issuing a yellow warning for snow and ice for swathes of northern England, northern Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Drivers in Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Humber may be delayed on their morning commute as several centimetres of snow are expected to settle.....

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

Likely because I showed you the actual data behind the claim of "no warming in 19 years," and you simply ignored it, going on to other sources that (you thought) supported your claim.

Like it or not, whether you call it a pause, slowdown or "no warming in 19 years," you look like a fool to try to cover up or ignore such things as actual temperature trends, when you stand on a soapbox and claim certain trends exist.

I know that true religious Warmers will find this test of faith a challenge, but what is, is.


Meh? The source you gave is just a blog article, and the blog article cites another source. And this source is saying it's just a slow down. What did you prove here?

Unless there is something really important I didn't see, you're just trying to cover the fact that the blog article you gave is lying.

Edit: And the bolded sentence makes no sense. There is no religion of warmers. It's just the entire world scientist community that approves the existence of global warming. It's a bit like if you called people believing Earth is round the "spinning religious". It's not a religion it's simply the truth.
No, some pages back I referenced for valta the actual sources for satellite data sets.

You gave me this link:

http://wattsupwiththat.com/global-climate/

And for God's sakes there isn't even one graph without a clear up trend!

Having a gay personality in star wars doesn't seem to change anything at all. I mean it's good that they are trying to set out that they are supporting such like what they did with the black man. Just don't overdo it and stick with the awesome story.
I have seen J.K. Rowling did the same move when she announced that dumbledore was gay. Cheesy

Nothing big to fuss about, they are fictional charaters and it's good that they are unlike other bigot people.
Actually, fair's fair.  Throw in some racists and some bigots into the fucking plot while you're at it.

Why not? That would be cool.

I agree on the fact that you can put as many blacks/Asian/gays/trans as you want as long as it's not ruining the story.

JK Rowling move about Dumbledore was cool and also explained why he had no romantic life. So it's not a bad move. It's fair with the story and even with the character.

But don't just put gays to make it like it's gay friendly that's all...

A good movie to use as a measure of these critical standards is Casa Blanca.  There's a great plot, a "save the world" plot.  There are dedicated-to-the-cause characters.  Cutting through the middle of it all is a romance plot.  There isn't a single line of dialogue or a single scene that isn't tightly bound to the plot.

Contrast that with Avatar.  There is nothing but PC crap in Avatar.  Military who are mean, sadistic and who do the bidding of the Greedy Capitalists.  Aliens who are bad renderings of North American Indians.  A primary character who is a cripple-wheelchair-boy.   After all this crap is pushed in and explained, there's no room left for plot.

I can't see the issue with gays as being any different than any other kind of plot or movie revenue destroyer.

Final scene of Casa Blanca.

Just show me a single verse from Quran which order its followers to kill innocent people even in state of war.


Last I heard people at topless beaches, strip clubs and such were not showing "God is the Greatest."

But people slaughtering innocents in the name of Islam seem to have an "Allah Ackbar" fixation (translated, god is the greatest).

That's called PORN you dumb shit
If 95-99% of the consumer base is interested in boy meets girl, you simply cannot expect them to buy product which is boy-boy shit.  That's the business reason that it's totally stupid to go PC in movies.

Really that's what it all adds up to.  Business.
Why instead of selling 95% to consumers they sell 100% Grin
Also what about girl girl shit..At the moment you feel like there making a statement but as time goes on you wont think nothing of it..I.E i watched east enders a soap in the uk..put a girl in a wheel chair I thought here we go making a statement ..But she is really good in it
and now every time i see an handicapped person on telly i think nothing of it .JUST NORMAL

Not the point.  If they try to push the 5% to the 95%, they are just plain stupid.   Which they are, by the way.

Not that it's not POSSIBLE to push the 5%, 5% of the time.

Look at Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot.  

Anyway, the movie industry slumps about 8% a year, soon it won't exist.
The gay community big bucks with big bucks..Smart business man or woman sells to everyone

LEARNT THAT OF THE JEWS Cheesy Not that i know one personally but you only got to check on the internet what they do..GOOD TO LEARN OFF SMART PEOPLE

How to make a shitty candle into the best candle ever ..A jew will do this clever

No, they won't.  You're just repeating PC shit.

Go look at what has worked in movies, what characters have been gay.  There have been a few.  It's always been a minor theme of no importance, sometimes of comedy.  Here's one that worked rather well - in the Jersey Boys, director Clint Eastwood, the character of the music producer was a flaming gay.  Worked well, looked real, provided contrast to everyone else who was straight.

But for the most part, injecting gay into a character is simply a negative. 

What a character should be is someone you empathize with, someone you care whether they survive, die tragically, or whatever.   If not the plot fails and the ratings and income fail.

Two more recent movies with gay was DiCaprio in J. Edgar, and I think this movie was PC propaganda mostly.  But it failed to make me care at all about the main character.  Let him get shot, blackmailed, killed, I couldn't care less.

The other was the production of The Imitation Game, about Turing.  I've got mixed feelings about this one.  First, I believe almost anyone would empathize with the character of Turing.  A large part of the credit for the West winning WWII goes to him.  However, he was an open, unabashed gay, and the movie portrays him as a closet gay.  So it makes no sense in numerous ways.  Several aspects of his life are mis represented.  Also, the movie does not go into the likelihood that he was murdered, and presumes that he committed suicide.  All in all though, I think anyone would like the movie.  It's main focus is not Turing's personal lifestyle, though, and that may be the main reason.

Ladies and gentlemen your attention please!

Seems like as usual Spendulus and Wilikon are using shameful methods to convince you. As usual they give out no scientific sources but rather biased blog posts, and as usual it seems that if you look a bit more precisely, the blog posts are wrong and misinterpret willingly their sources.

There is no "pause" in the last decades. There is a slow down in climate warming. Which IS interesting and lead the scientist to question their models!

I'm not saying there is no problem with current predictions or climate models! Of course there must be, climate is something too complicated to be perfectly predicted.

I'm saying climate change is real and every scientist agree with this. No data shows a "global cooling". No data shows a "pause".

Don't simply trust what Spendulus and Wilikon posts and take 5 minutes to go further. Then you'll see their claims are based on nothing but pitiful lies.

Denier.  Admit it, you denier.

I think people believe media ( especially big media organs like Bbc, Cnn)   without searching Islam.
Whereas Islam is a peace religion. Calls humanty to heaven by making favor for humanity and avoiding bad things.  Islam heralds a second life after death.  Quran says "if one kills onebody, he is like as killed all world". While such, how a muslim can be terrorist?
I think some people are prejudiced about Islam. If there's a muslim terrorist, it is not Islam's mistake. That  means he misunderstood Islam and he destroyed his both life.


How about instead of asking the question (bolded) YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION?

Great. I think it's time for switching to Chinese or Korean movies :/.

The Hollywood movies were always full of propaganda. They were used during the cold war period to demonize the Soviets (remember Rocky IV and Rambo III?). After the cold war, the liberals used these movies as pro-LGBT propaganda tools. Time to give some attention to the Eastern European, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian movies.


What the hell are you talking about, used for propaganda.  You got to have some good guys and some bad guys.

You have to have plots.

Dr. Strangelove has a twisted, sick plot but it works very, very well.

Where's the propaganda?Huh

If you want to see propaganda, go back to actual propaganda movies.  Look for the key structural points of the propagandic method.  Don't dilute the issue and just call anything with "our side" and "their side" propaganda.....
