You need to get conditioned to the fact that America is a diverse nation with lots of different colored people of lots of different ages. Hannity's America has not existed since 1855. If the GOP does not broaden the tent a little bit, they had better get used to losing.

Entitlement society? You mean like Mitt's daddy? Or like tax subsidies for Exxon? You've been duped, they feed you the God, guns, gays and old Glory bullfluff to get your vote, then they pump the fat into Goldman Sachs and Halliburton and Koch while laughing at all the sheep carrying tea party signs.

Chrysler repaid their loan and added thousands of jobs. I figure they all voted Obama last night.

It was a win for Obama, but the Reps are looking to pick up seats in the house. So, no mandate either way which brings us to a stalemate for the next 4 years. Probably better than our government doing anything to cause more problems.

There is never a mandate. Ever.

Also, the biggest thing the "govern"ment does to cause problems is Republican obstructionism.

Yes I have personal political beliefs. Get over it and attack me personally.

AM I SUPPOSED TO YELL NOW??? Why get personal when we are forming analysis?

Yes, yes you are supposed to yell now. If you had analysis you would have presented it long ago. ;)

I want someone as a president that flip flops on every single issue?
I want someone that can't even take the time to think up a 5 point plan that is viable? Seriously the guy runs his mouth about a plan but never releases it or even can give a single detail other than cutting Planned Parenthood and PBS? yay! %.02 of the budget cut!

I want a president that ships jobs out of the country? So when I have children of working age or I lose my job I have to go to another country for work?

You know what... fluff Mitt Romney.
It's pretty hard up when a rich white guy can't beat a lazy black guy.

Four more years starts now =)

If things change dramatically and President Obama does not get reelected then I will gladly eat my words.

At the end of the day though, we're all Americans and we are all on the same team. We need to work together to continue bettering the best country on earth.

Humans have caused atmospheric CO2 levels to rise at unprecedented rates.

Here is a website to help you understand the relationship between temperature and CO2:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-lags-temperature.htm

While the CO2 spikes lag temperature spikes, it is because of the CO2 that temperature increased as is did - once the temperature increases a little the oceans release CO2 which in turn causes the temperature to increase more and more CO2 is released, causing the temperature to increase more. If only Milankovitch cycles were the cause of this - the current climate trends deviate from what should be happening due to natural variations.

H2O has an average residence time in the atmosphere of a little over a week. We can expel huge amounts of H2O into the atmosphere, but it can re-equilibrate itself within two weeks. That being said, we only output a small portion of the atmospheric H2O. By contrast we output a large percentage of the atmospheric CO2 which has a residence time of hundreds of years. In short, H2O being a greenhouse gas is not an important fact at all in this discussion.

The current rates of glacier retreat are not normal. You act like just because something happens on smaller scales that it makes bigger scales normal. They are not equivalent.

Rather than my usual bombardment of facts to demonstrate that climate change is real and largely induced by humans, I will instead give you this link since it is all I have time for. It explains things in a way that is completely accurate and in-context. It is not something that gets too complicated for its audience.

I think a better game would be if the plebes can get ten consecutive posts without a master breaking it up. If the plebes get ten in a row they get a point. If their streak gets broken prematurely then the masters get a point.

Voting Romney. The Democratic party is made up of too many interest groups to fix what is wrong with the country. It has to please each of these groups to hold onto power. Now, I'm not saying there is something inherently wrong about pleasing the groups that vote for you, that is how Democracy is supposed to work. However, the Republican party is much more homogenous meaning Romney can focus more on what is wrong with the country as a whole. He has a record of turning around struggling entities. That is the focus of Bain Capital and it is what he did when he took over the Olympics.

Confirmed, Romney only answers to the five richest people in America so it is much easier for him to please all of his constituents.

My thoughts mirror H4's.

This just makes the rich richer. Whoever has the highest production will be the big winner. That would be indies to start, however people are unlikely to sell turns that early and indy prices will crash. Tech has such a demand that prices would not likely crash due to higher production.

Also, this would allow unholy market aiding, particularly for someone who has converted to HMBR...

If I were advocating the complete destruction of LaF then yes that would be a logical extrapolation. I however have only suggested temporary punishment for LaF; ergo your analogy is ludicrous.

Since very few things have been done to punish those who owned Slaves and treated them terribly, would you perhaps have a suitable punishment for all those relatives of the previous slave owners?

Is killing their EE countries too harsh for your tastes?
Owning slaves wasn't illegal then. Sure it was a bad thing to do... but so is lying...

This is patently untrue. The theme of this thread seems to be dispelling slander against the admins so I am not deleting it, but these accusations will not stand in other threads.

If its not true, then why would anoniem and kj say they had ip logs of it... The fact that it cant be proven i accept, but the suggestion that it hasnt taken place is preposterous.

Having asked both of them, both say that never happened. Which is much more consistent with what I know about things. So yeah, no one said that, it never happened, you need to give it up.

ROFL, given that KJ has been caught red handed lieing to the admins while under investigation about where he was obtaining information (and where he was getting the info was a big part of the nature of the investigation)... I'm not inclined to take anything he says to you on the matter seriously.

I don't know where you are getting your stance on this issue with such definity, but your statements are inconsistent with my knowledge of these investigations thus far, which is likely more advanced than your knowledge.

Other than when I directly asked anoniem and KJ about things they were alleged to have said, all of my other information came directly from admins.
