Comment Re:That's his right (Score 1) 471

And it's my right to take my business elsewhere.

Why is this modded flamebait? I tend to view this as a reactionary policy done by a person who clearly thinks far too much of his establishment. That's his right. Since I view his policy in that light it's my right to go somewhere else. The policy also strikes me as hypocritical as I'd be willing to bet that he has several cameras and probably audio monitoring throughout the establishment (also his right) and yet wants to ban others from doing the same thing.

It reminds me of those few gun stores where they ban their customers from carrying a gun while their staff is openly carrying. Sure, it's their right to ban such but it's still hypocritical.

How is it hypocritical for gunshop owners to ban the carrying of loaded guns in the shop? You think the gunshop staff is going to rob YOU at gunpoint?

Well the owner DID say it was kind of a joke with some truth to it. Fact is lots of places like this ban the use of cameras already. Many more bad people from taking candid shots. If you don't have the permission of the person you are not allowed to take that photo or shoot that video. Strip bars are a great example of places that has long banned the use of any kind of recording devices. Many bars I've gone to have signs clearly stating the use of cameras of any sort are prohibited. "Google Glass" is just a wearable camera.

You do know that MANY places ban the use of cameras on the premises right..? The bar owner makes perfect sense and expect far more public places to do the same. I'm pretty sure the owners doesn't give a crap that YOU won;t come in since there are plenty of other people who actually like this idea. Try to remember we are talking about a dive bar not a trendy night club/bar or some other similar type of place where people like you congregate.

This isn't saying they would use the mouse method on humans... (face-plant) They are just saying they found what kind of cells they need to promote the growth of a natural tooth from these cells. If you bothered to read the article you'd know they are now looking for a cheap and easy way to get human mesenchymal cells the make this a viable option for use on human patients.

Sorry but it's been warmer than it is today with less CO2 content and i am talking about the complete debunking of the notion that CO2 drives climate changes. It does not. http://www.c3headlines.com/peer-reviewed-studies/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFd4icZki4I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDm9b_69pDg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRRXZ1B5foE

So when you emigrate to Canada because your land is now a desert, make sure to drag along a few billion tons of topsoil with you.

Why do people like you seem to believe a warmer planet means more deserts? Fact is a warmer planet means a wetter planet as well since water that was once locked in ice is now freed up and enters the water cycle. Please show me where they have proven that a warmer planet means the lower Us becomes a desert. They haven't. If anything researchers have said a warmer planet would mean more land to grow food on as well as longer growing seasons. More people die every year all over the world from cold weather related complications than do of warm weather.

Exactly. People in general seem to blindly accept information from a single source instead of looking at various sources then forming an informed opinion. Fact is those in the AGW have been relying on a single idea. That human generated CO2 is what was driving the short warming we observed. This contradicts what geologists, oceanographers, and climatologists have known for a very long time. That changes in CO2 levels always happen after global temps change and never before. That it's global temps that drive changes in atmospheric CO2 and not the other way around. They also like to ignore the fact that when you look at the over all trend in global temps it's down not up. The warming stopped in the late 90's yet CO2 levels have continued to rise. In 2007 we saw global temps drop like a stone. The drop was so dramatic that 100 years of warming was virtually undone in just 12 months. This in no way supports the claims of the AGW supporters that CO2 is a driver of global temp changes. The debate has never been over whether or not the climate is changing. The climate is a dynamic system. It's always in a state of change. That's the nature of the system. So what did the people who support AGW do? They tried to redefine their argument and try to say anyone who doesn't agree with their view is denying that the climate is changing. This is 100% false. The debate has never been about climate change. It's always been about what is driving it. They refuse to accept the fact that there is very little evidence that human activity is having any significant impact. What little evidence exists is very weak at best. what has always bothered me about them is that they do not acknowledge the fact that our climate system is an open system. they never take into account conditions outside our planet. They even go so far as to claim that something as major as the sun has little to no impact on our climate. Pirse Corbyn, known as the worlds most accurate weather man, is able to predict climate conditions months to a year out with a high degree of accuracy. He is so accurate that farmers around the world use his data to plan their crops. He makes his predictions based on observations of our sun and the moon. This should tell anyone with a properly functioning brain that this man seems to have a far better understanding that any of these other researchers who's predictions have been completely wrong.

How do you tell the difference between used 1's and 0's and brand spanking new 1's and 0's? In the digital world there is no such thing as used. What makes something used in the real world is wear and tear. That's why we have levels of use and pricing for used items. "Like New" and Abused All To Hell." I don't get it.
