Re: BSing The Thread
Hi Buz,
Why don't you people show a little class by addressing the pertinent topic points ranther than hijacking the thread and trashing an upstanding member for sport.
Because this is the sort of mockery that J10:10's idiotic screed deserves. He doesn't have any pertinent points, so there is nothing to hijack. He is actually suggesting that Gore and bin Laden are "two peas in a pod" because they both believe in global warming. You don't get to say something as stupid as that without being ridiculed.
The thread isn't good for anything other than sport. Unless you really want to defend J10:10's moronic OP? Really? Really Buz?

Re: BSing The Thread
Hi Granny. I thought you were above this,
I have no idea what made you think that.
You surely have enough intelligence to find a sensible and debatable point in the following exerpt, for example:
No, I'm afraid that's beyond me. Perhaps you would like to help me out.
Hey, if you don't agree, why not show some class, a little respect and consideration for fellow an upstanding board members by addressing why you disagree.
Is it not obvious? It's already been made clear in post after post. J10:10 is claiming that because he has found one similarity between Gore and bin Laden, they are essentially the same. That is moronic and offensive. The logical fallacy is so vast it can be seen from space.
The OP is so pathetically vapid that the only mature and appropriate response is to point and laugh or perhaps to hold John 10:10 up as a cautionary example of what happens when one is foolish enough to replace basic logic with hateful dogma.
Imo, some of you people ought to be ashamed of your condescending attitude.
Pointing out that a stupid argument is stupid is not condescension. It is also worth pointing out that J10:10 is consistently one of the rudest and most condescending posters here, with most of his messages consisting of little more than trite Bible verses and threats of divine judgement. He can hardly be bothered to defend his own thread. he doesn't deserve your sympathy.
It goes to show who is the more hateful, and it's not John 10:10, who has been likened to one as dangerous as murderous Ben Laden the mastermind of the death of over 3000 Americans and destruction of the worlds tallest towers, significantly affecting the economies of the entire planet. .
Right. Just like Al Gore... didn't...
J10:10 is being absurd and offensive in comparing Gore to bin Laden. If he gets a taste of his own medicine, it is well deserved.
Of course, if you think it unfair to compare J10:10 to bin Laden, then you must also accept that it is equally offensive to compare Gore to bin Laden, no?

Re: Perhaps equating Al Gore to Ben Laden is where you set yourself up for ridicule
Hi John 10:10
Er... I don't know how up to speed you are with current events, but...
Al Gore lost that election.
Yup. I'm pretty sure we're safe from him. Sorry to spoil your little apocalyptic fantasy.
I don't mind the ridicule.
Of course you don't. You simply;
1) say something idiotic.
2) Wait for everyone to call you an idiot.
3) Sit back and bask in smug self-satisfaction. After all, you've just proved your critics to be big mean meanies, so you must be right.
Sad.

Re: Perhaps equating Al Gore to Ben Laden is where you set yourself up for ridicule
I assume that the irony of the following is lost on you;
When one doesn't have an argument, they always attack the messenger.
Says the man who seems to think that a good way to attack climate science is to compare Al Gore to Osama bin Laden.
Yes, Gore lost the 2000 election, but won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize!
Which gives him the power to do... nothing. The Nobel peace prize is indeed a joke, which rather underlines its irrelevance here.
When two people supposedly fight for the same cause - save the world from man-caused global warming, they are still two peas in a pod.
So when Hitler supposedly fights for the Bible and Christianity, as he indeed claimed, that makes you and him "peas in a pod"?
Your attempt at an argument is pathetic.

Buz, try and keep up.
I am claiming that John10:10 and Hitler are not alike.
J10:10 is claiming that because Gore claims a belief in global warming and bin Laden claims a belief in global warming that they are "two peas in a pod".
I am claiming that despite the fact that Hitler claimed to be a Christian and John10:10 claims to be a Christian, they are not "two peas in a pod" and that such arguments are blatantly fallacious hogwash.
I am trying to highlight the flaws in J10:10's "argument". Okay?
