Natalie Portman is still so fresh-faced. Just doesn't look her age. Must not have aged while she was petrified.

HOT GRITS POURED DOWN MY PANTS

It wasn't the FAA; It was some guy in Kentucky.

"Tuesday" is a religious issue for people like that. It doesn't help make your case. The fact remains that the Climate Change Alarmism has morphed into something with all the trappings of a zealous religious cult filled with people who would otherwise never ever let themselves be found inside a church, and it is hysterical to watch.

Right. The Pope is a Climate Change Alarmist. And he, like other Climate Change Alarmists, is also known for being a Very Religious Person and drawing conclusions based solely on faith.

That *was* your point, right...?

>> promote the notion that they are up against a global conspiracy of scientists.

No. The scientists are just the dupes, the pawns needed to lend credibility to the scheme. The global conspiracy consists of the powers that want to siphon off the wealth from 1st world nations and redistribute it elsewhere, while lining their own pockets during the shell game.

>>global warming denial is almost identical to that of evolution denial

You should not conflate the two in any way. A fraction of Evangelicals, who themselves are a tiny fraction of Christianity, believes in Evolution, while a huge -- and growing, weekly -- percentage of the overall population believes that "climate change" is not the immediate dire threat the Alarmists make it out to be.

>> rhetoric

Careful here. This whole thread arose from the clear and comical similarity between the angry threats, chastisements, indignation, etc. routinely expressed by the Alarmists and the fire-and-brimstone rhetoric of certain Baptist preachers. It's quite striking and humorous.

Climate Change is not a religious issue for those who "deny" it. (The other side, arguably yes...) You're confusing it with Evolution.

But keep ranting, you're making anti-religious bigots look like angry, confused assholes here at the top of the page. Carry on...

It's the Climate Change Alarmists who behave more like religious zealots.

Just sayin'...

I remember way back that when you did an alphabetical dump of usenet groups there were several that when listed said "ITTSUCKS" in large block letters.

Online Forum Pro-Tip: When you write "'Murrica," you betray your classist prejudice, weaken your argument, and reveal yourself as a hipster lightweight. Always remember that the little bits that gain you guffaws around the high school cafeteria with other members of the AV Club table don't always translate well to adult discussions with strangers .

Happy to help.

Just stick "# XXX" comments around your debug code. Many editors automatically highlight XXX so prominently that it's just as easy to spot as unindented code.

You mean, like:

What's the problem?

It is illegal to assault you and I'm not even sure I have a right to privacy. But I will first threaten you, and then follow through on the threat, if you are a glasshole and in the same room as me. I will also pull a cigarette out of the mouth of someone smoking near a pregnant woman who is asked to extinguish it and refuses, even though that is "assault" as well. I do both these things in the name of common decency, a notion usually lost on the insistent close-quarter smokers and glassholes. And both these paragons of Law and Order are welcome to call the cops. Unless we're sitting in college pubs in Brooklyn or Portland, I'm not too concerned about how things will pan out...

Dude, I am the furthest thing from a Luddite you will ever meet and I am proud to have done more than my share online and IRL to keep Google glass from becoming a "thing." Glassholes weren't geeks (see how I am able to use the past tense verb there? I LOVE that!) they were self-absorbed hipster gadgeteers. Geeks value their privacy.

He got better?

Seriously, that's the whole point. The only reason the OT is included as part of the Good Book is that it helps provide context and narrative. That, and the fact that the early Christians were Jews first and old habits die hard.

The Bible is a story of civilization's redemption, not a Chinese menu where different sects can take one from Column Leviticus and two from Column Galatians. An overwhelming majority of Christianity gets that, but the butt-hurt and snarky will always point to the one or two sociopath Baptist cults like Westboro as if these in any way represent modern Christianity.

Usually, we have a company that makes garbage no one wants, so when they liquidate they have a ton of stock. This is unfortunate... and stupid, because it seems like they should have taken SOME KIND of action before they had nothing to sell.

I wonder exactly how terrible they are when they have a product with a solid demand, yet no one will invest in them. There has to be embezzlement.
