God Kills Dinosaur

Man Kills God
Man Creates Dinosaur
Dinosaur Kills Man

Dinosaur ascends to oneness with the universe.
Universe creates man
Man ascends to become God.
Universe ends God escapes and creates new unending universe
God creates immoral man.
Man fucks up by eating forbidden fruit
God saves man from stupidity but requires him to declare alligence
Most men refuse.
Those that refuse are killed in apocalypse of their own making.
Those that swore allegiance escaped.
Man rebuilds earth and eliminates the idiocy that caused the apocalypse.
Man and God live forever. Dinosaurs remain a dream of the fallen universe.

Not to feed the troll but

unlike the Bible Exodus across the divided Red Sea running away from the big dark Egyptian cock your women find resistible and can't stop sucking

Fellatio didn't start until the Roman Empire (thats when public baths started) and ancient Egyptians weren't dark. They are the same pigment a tanned Caucasian is. Now Nubians, they were dark.

Comment Re:So, he is admitting that the attacks are true (Score 2) 786

Well, considering that the word "swiftboating" is derived from accusations against John Kerry that were true. when someone says they are being "swiftboated" they are admitting that the attacks against them are based in truth.

You're missing the point entirely.

Typical political attacks aim for an opponent's weaknesses, broken campaign promises, personal indiscretions, etc.

Swiftboating is the opposite, it attacks an opponent's strengths and tries to turn them into vulnerabilities. With Kerry a big selling point was his war service and purple hearts, swiftboating created a second narrative where he was unpatriotic and a bad soldier.

The same thing happened in '12 where Romney's business experience was turned into a negative by associating him with layoffs and the rich people who broke the economy. And to a lesser extent in '08 with Obama and his academic credentials and intellectual reputation, many people started implying that his academic career was the result of affirmative action.

What's happening to scientists is the same idea. There's three big reasons to believe scientists.

1) They have a ton of integrity.

2) They're succeed by finding new things and changing the established thinking.

3) They use the peer review system to enforce rigorous standards.

Climate change opponents attack all of these qualities. They attack scientists' integrity by alleging mass fraud. They deny the revolutionary aspect by claiming scientists don't want to point out problems with climate change. And finally they claim the peer review system is used to stifle dissent and create a false consensus.

The plan is to discredit climate change by discrediting science itself, the opponents can't gain credibility, but if they discredit scientists they don't have to, it just becomes a case of he-said she-said.

While all that is true, that is not the reason most people are deniers. Most that understand are because of the economic cost. Altering things now would require a tremendous sacrifice similar to WW2. The would not be a return on investment for at least a half century. Ask yourself, how many are willing to do that now? Its far easier to attack and discredit. That doesn't require sacrifice. They can be as greedy or not as they want. Climate Science isn't about science. Its about money. That is why Koch Brothers, who are billionaires in the industries that would be hurt the most, are attacking. As long as people believe its about the science, those who want it to fail will continue to succeed.

This is why there are things such as mass-less particles.

In particle physics, a massless particle is a particle whose invariant mass is theoretically zero. Currently, the only known massless particles are gauge bosons, the photon (carrier of electromagnetism) and the gluon (carrier of the strong force).

The belief is that Neutrinos have mass. However, if they don't then, they are a W boson and can qualify.

You are confused. Every console until recently was unattached to servers. This is simply their greed and the reminder that they can't control their systems. If Lizard inconvenience you, thats the goal. Most people are sheep and won't complaint about hackers. No they will attack Sony and Microsoft. That's what they want. They want anyone that doesn't bow to their whims to die. Remember this.
AND for the love of all this Holy, quit buying Sony shit. I don't care how you want to play that game. You want internet freedom or this? Everytime you buy Sony crap, you empower them to be more shitty and this emboldened the hackers to attack them. Both are urinating on you and you are dancing in it like Gene Kelly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
If everyone, simply stopping buying Sony products for a year, This would end. (for them anyway)
Nothing Sony or its subsidiaries sells is necessary for life. They don't sell food, or shelter. Others sell clothes, and music Until we as the purchasers put our foot down, nothing will change. Any more to them enables them. Same goes to Microsoft.
