Anyways don't let me get in the way of your quest to rewrite history. Remember to just keep repeating your lie enough, and it will become the truth.

If the "birth of the souther GOP" wasn't tied to “white racism.” - why the heck are there so many openly racist pigfuckers among them?

3. 90% are the posts seem to cite Skeptical Science in order to prove their point.

And you're assuming without evaluation that all skeptical science is wrong and all non-skeptical science is not. Are you totally dense? There is no non-skeptical science. All science must be skeptical. Because some IPCC stooges are not, we have the problem we have!

4. Skeptical Science is run by a Cartoonist.

Eh, cartoonists are mostly very sharp en perceptive. Able to see aspects of a situation and portray that which many other don't see right away. Also, if you have only ever read one "skeptical" scientist, no wonder you're in the dark!

I had to laugh so hard reading this. I'm not going to spoil it for you, Mr. Skeptic.

IBM knew exactly what Germany was doing with them. And it was against the law to sell to Germany. IBM mastered of skirting both the laws of the US and Germany, – to get tabulators into Germany and the profits out.

They didn't need to get tabulators into Germany - they were build there.

Which didn't happen. Hitler ran for President, and lost to von Hindenburg. The National Socialists managed to get about 40% of the Reichstag, not a majority but certainly a very important party. Hitler was then appointed to the office of Chancellor, and took over from there.

Actually, in the election after which he became Chancellor, the Nazis only had 33% of the votes.

a surface pro is the better solution over the macbook air if one must stick with the microsoft camp IMO. light weight, compatible with everything, and in the same price range as the air. Add in the fact that it can be a tablet or a laptop

... means its a fucking compromise. http://daringfireball.net/2013/02/the_c_word

No, unfortunately it's a fitness and evolution thing. The minute you bring grain bags to a starving remote village, the hunger goes away and then they immediately start having sex and cranking out more needy humans. You can see this in dependent villages, you'll notice frequency banding in the ages of the children, all conceived at roughly the same time coinciding with aid drops. Feeding the hungry sounds great, the hungry will multiply until you can't feed them all.

Yes, that's why in rich Western countries we have a massive population explosion because no one is starving. Oh, wait...

Sorry, I forgot, it only applies to poor brown people on different continents.

Didn't know Kosovanians were brown...

That's not a mugging. Without violence it's not mugging, it's just theft.

You don't "hand over" something to someone who snaps it from your hands.

My point being that if the guy has a knife/gun on you and tells you "give me that phone", he could just as well say "password?".

Or he could just take it, and commit a lesser crime that takes less time and thus has a lower chance to get caught.
