skydyvr 0 #76 July 23, 2008 QuoteI would love to. I've always wanted to experience life in a free country. Unfortunately, I've lived in the US all my life, so I haven't had that opportunity. Well, take the opportunity. Doesn't matter much though, self-flagellators don't do much good anywhere they go. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you would check your facts you would find out that the US is one of the most giving/donating countrys in the world. If not the most. Try again. And it's citizens kill each other at a higher rate than any other western industrialized nation. That's because the US is a fistfight culture. People are constantly getting beaten to death.

kelpdiver 2 #82 July 23, 2008 he said 'western' industrialized nation. Of that list, the closest qualifier is Finland, which is remarkably close to the US. Russia, post USSR, is not considered a Western or First world nation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #85 July 23, 2008 Quotethere are other western countries on there as well that scored higher. Anyway, why is geography (western vs eastern) so important anyway? No, there are not. Just former Soviet block nations and other developing ones. Is the distinction relevant? Debatable. But since crime tends to be inversely correlated to economic health, it's considered appropriate to compare the established first world nations, then the second level, then the developing nations separately.

BikerBabe 0 #89 July 23, 2008 You ask for facts. However, let me put to you the question that I have never once seen answered by anyone of your ilk in this forum: What "facts" would honestly make you re-evaluate your position? Do they exist? If they do, then please, point us in the right direction. If they don't, then why are you here other than to belittle others? By "re-evaluate" I don't necessarily mean "change your mind", either. If your mind is truly 100% closed on this issue, then why bother coming to a forum or starting a "debate" about it? My wager would be on the "just to hear yourself speak in a grammatically incorrect and loudmouthed manner" option. Case in point: QuoteThat is there problem! What? Where? Did you mean to say, "that there is the problem" (in the manner of some southern or Texas vernacular) or "that is THEIR problem"? So for the folks who make fun of people who take the time to write and speak correctly, here is a perfect example of the ambiguity of meaning that can arise from IMPROPER use of the English language.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Take your own advice, open your eyes, climb out from under the rock, stop intentionally trying to find stuff that refutes global warming and you will find a lot more that supports it. BTW, you talk about us not having facts, I'm still waiting to see your facts. A credible (you may have to look that one up) source would be nice but since you'll be hard pressed to find it go ahead and post some facts from a right wing propaganda website.

I am open to a conversation that is presented by another open minded person, not the typical ignorant person that will answer your question with another question. And i meant their. But that is my point, you knew what i meant and instaead of contributing to the topic at hand, you chose to point out what everbody else already knew. I CAN NOT SPELL. No shit sherlock!

BikerBabe 0 #93 July 24, 2008 I am asking you politely, without resorting to the overuse of exclamation marks, what type of facts you would like to see. You say "give me facts." All I'm asking for is a bit more clarity to your question. How is that not fair? Tell me the type of "facts" that you would find acceptable to the argument at hand. By the way, facts that disprove or contradict your point are still facts. MY point with my posts is to have you prove my hypothesis that any evidence or facts that are contrary to YOUR opinion will be discounted by you as not being factual. Which, when followed to a logical conclusion, tells me that you are, indeed, close-minded about this issue. By the way, when i first read your post, i did NOT know what you meant and had to re-read the sentence and context several times. Communicating your points effectively goes a long way. Otherwise you stand the very great chance of having your readers discount your opinions as meaningless.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Forgive me for trying to show you why the piece of date you were relying on to make your point (i.e. 1.4ºF increase in average temperature over the past century) is meaningless in the context in which you were attempting to use it.
