Are you a practicing climate scientist who has personally checked all those facts? Not many people who would agree with you are. But they are looking at something written down that they- perhaps even you can never check or verify other then asking someone else if it is correct. But it's your version, it's real and factual, just like the faith Jews or Christians, or Muslims have.

Bullshit. First, there are degrees of wrong. Plus, you know, science works.

I am actually a published, practicing scientist. I can do the basic smell test on the papers, if not understand the tiny details.

To come to the conclusion that "the concensus is probably right and that in any case, I have no compelling reson to doubt the conclusions" the only "faith" I need to have is to discount the preposterous notion that the world's climate scientists are engaged in a vast conspiracy to defraud us all.

To fuel your paranoia, you had to pick two completely isolated examples from widely scattered corners of the globe. Why not also pick an example from Saudi Arabia where women aren't even allowed to drive?

To pick an opposite example: it was a few years ago ruled in the EU that insurance companies were not allowed to discriminate against men with higher premiums.

Also: a gym isn't transportation. I know they have bikes, but they're called *stationary* bikes for a reason.

I don't think SCRAM jets need baffles: there's no need to slow the air down since the combustion is at supersonic speeds.

Actually it's coutnerproductive. Once you get fast enough (Mach 7 ish), the kinetic energy component of the air is more than the total enthalpy from the unburned oxygen, so even with magic maerials which could withstand arbitrary temperatures and stresses, slowing down the airstream for combustion doesn't work, because you can't get it fast enough again.

LOL this is amazing.

You are actually claiming that a bunch of internet bloggers are worse than a group tht literally kinapped, tortured and murdered a bunch of people.

And as a defense of this idea, you're saying that "you wouldn't be surprised" if something wildly improbably happens. Riiiiiighty ho.

If you want to see what a society filled with people who have sex for no other reason than hedonistic pleasure, you are in luck, we already have an example: black people.

Yeah because whie people never screw for the fuck of it. We do. Get over it.

Also, who modded this blatantly racist flamebait up?

Except not everyone believes your conspiracy theory nutbaggery. Today you don't even seem to be able to decide if it was her or Jon McIntosh. Surely if she's just a passive mouthepiece, you should be railing agains that guy and blaming everything on him, since he's the mastermind.

So which is it? Is she the big evil or is it someone else? TELL ME WHO TO HATE!!!

Having fun with sex, be prepared to have frustrated uptight wives on your back.

Only earlier on this thread were you ranting about Zoe Quinn sleeping around too much. So, which is is? Fun with sex is OK if you do it but not OK if she does it?

Since when do YOU get ot be the arbiter of what people do in their spare time?

Btw, no I don't see much difference between Sarkeesian/feminazi and the KKK, they're both hate groups.

Yep, feminist internet video bloggers have a reputation for lyching nerds in real life, then getting off scot free from a jury of like mineded feminist internet bloggers. So yes. She's just as bad as the KKK and Hitler combined with sprinklings of communists and fluoridation.
