Scientific Fraud

[El Kabong]

Ok, perhaps you're missing the point I am making due to the semantics of terms I am using like "Conservative" and "Liberal".


What is happening on college campuses maybe best described not in terms of political leanings left vs right or liberal vs conservative, but more in terms of a power struggle. Gaining control of the power on these college campuses was done in the 1960's and 1970's when STUDENTS were protesting the Vietnam War and Civil Rights, valid causes to protest, and those students wanted the right to speak freely, to question authorities which were sending them off to war or telling certain people they cannot eat here or sleep there or date a person of the opposing race, and rightfully so. But when those students graduated and then gained positions of prominence in the universities as Graduate Assistants, Professors, Tenured Professors, Administrators, Deans, Alumni etc....they then used their power to silence dissent and even keep students from THINKING differently.

The suppressing of free speech and the suppression of "bad thoughts" is Authoritarian and it's the exact opposite of what should be happening on college campuses. These young adults need to think, they need to question, they need to have those freedoms to exercise their minds. Stopping debate altogether is what has happened and there are many many many MANY examples of how and why groupthink is a horrible thing.

Thank you, Slim, you provide a real challenge in debate, you never let anything slip past you, and you are very sound and well reasoned in your responses.


I feel like we've written a book

I find myself wondering if slim is as loquacious in person as he is in writing.

So if you don't believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming/Climate Change then you're no better than a Nazi.....so sayeth Timothy Snyder.

Denying science imperils the future by summoning the ghosts of the past.

....yes......"science"

Remind us again Lyle - what are your qualifications for distinguishing science from "science"? If I recall, you are unable to perform a high school level regression analysis.

Oh that's right. You are a graduate of what real scientists refer to as Google U.

I like the way she handled the rude student but when she says the American experiment is a success, I think she should be eating her words regarding homeless etc and could do so more when the fires they began in the middle east blow backwards.

Fires who began in the Middle East? The United States inherited a dysfunctional Middle East. England set up the borders in the Middle East AND got the United States to go in to Iran to restore the Shah to power....that was our Ally saying "Hey, if you don't do this, well Iran will go Commie".


People like to critique our dealings in the Middle East....we'd rather not be there, we'd rather not....but if we weren't the people of the Middle East would drag us there to get involved. It's a classic case of you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. If we go to help we're causing trouble if we don't help we're being heartless.

Well I'm just shocked that Greenbeanz has found something to disagree with me on.

Seriously ? that is someone you consider an advocate of the rubbish you pretend to be science and debate You like it because she warms your ears and makes you feel cosy with her sophistry to America and the idea that it is such an overwhelming success everybody wants to get there. Unlike the Cubans who know the value of a good lifeboat in shark infested waters when they see one, despite drowning in a sea of evidence, you are now clutching at straws in a futile attempt to stop yourself going under.

McElhinney is not a scientist, you only have to look at how poorly attended that meeting is to see how relevant her opinion is. It 's like rummaging through the bins trying to find Michelin star food. She is an Irish 'Journalist' that works for the energy companies. I can see why she would appeal to you having said this

“Environmentalists…have this notion that the world would be better without humanity, and this is clearly not true – and it’s a very anti-Christian message… I mean, the Bible is really clear on this that humanity was to subdue all this amazing stuff we have around us and use it for our betterment.”
