Re: Yay!
I would be talking to myself.
Well, you'd pretty much be talking to yourself even if Tal were responding.

I like your Matt Taibbi quote.
Thanks. I'm not really familiar with either Taibbi -- I don't watch TV and I prefer physical print over websites, so I'm kind of ignorant of these things. I don't even check on Pharyngula as often as I should!
I got this quote from an article to which someone else linked on another message board, (And in that article, Taibbi claims that the Soviet Union is a better comparison to the Bush Administration!)
Edited by Chiroptera, : added "on another message board"

It has become fashionable on the left and in Western Europe to compare the Bush administration to the Nazis. The comparison is not without some superficial merit. In both cases the government is run by a small gang of snickering, stupid thugs whose vision of paradise is full of explosions and beautifully designed prisons. -- Matt Taibbi

Re: Yay!
Three things about debating Tal
(1) you aren't - you talk past him, he tells you what to think
(2) he's always right - far right.
(3) (1) proves (2) and if in doubt refer to (2) ... ;D
All kidding aside, you do have to wait for periods when Tal can post - he's in Iraq
enjoy.

Hello all and thanks for all the warm replies . I sure do miss this place at times. I thought my post would be taken in the context of the OP, that man made global warming is causing extinctions, as that is the claim of the OP and people who believe in global warming. Unless you'd like to claim that man made CO2 being released into the atmosphere is the cause of T. Rex dying off, then I really have no argument with you.
I wish some of you would stop with the venom though. I understand you are upset with me because I don't believe what you do, but that's no reason to go slamming every post I make in every forum with contempt.
RAZ is correct. I can't get on here as often as I'd like. 12 months down, 3 to go.

We never seem to acknowledge that we have been wrong in the past, and so might be wrong in the future. Instead, each generation writes off earlier errors as the result of bad thinking by less able minds-and then confidently embarks on fresh errors of its own. --Michael Crichton

Hi all,
This is my first post here.
If somebody takes The Bible literally then they have to believe that God left us to look after the planet but quite often creationists believe in other things too.
Many Creationists aren't concernerd about the Earth because they believe that soon we'll get raptured and God will make a new Earth.

Hi KtTE, and welcome to EvC.

Many Creationists aren't concernerd about the Earth because they believe that soon we'll get raptured and God will make a new Earth.
Just to be the douche that nip-picks your first post, , I believe that "creationist" and Christian creationist do differ in their opinion of the Earth. Many don't believe in a rapture but do believe in a god(s) that created everything.
Have fun and hope you stick around.

Petition to Bailout Comedy The Laugh Factory is imploring Congress to immediately fund what owner Jamie Masada calls an "Economic Cheer-Up." If Congress fails to act quickly, the Laugh Factory comedians are planning to march to Washington and plea to President Obama.
