One room, four walls

(^_^)/

To be honest, me neither.

So...

We started with "Man-made Climate Change theory in trouble because one volcano belched a years worth of gas (for a plane)"

Quickly moved on to the oft-repeated point of "It doesn't matter what is making Climate Change happen, what matters is admitting that it is happening.

And now we're back to "I don't want to discuss Climate change, it's cause, what we can do about it, or anything else that draws attention away from my statistics, my mathematics, my posts, shakes my right-wing messiah-complex, or my medically inflated sense of self-esteem, because I am a hypocrite who (if held to their own standards) belongs on their own Ignore list."

  Self-regulate? For two thirds of it's history the surface of earth has resembled Mars, Snowball Earth happened for 200+ million years, the Pangean desert conditions lasted as long as Pangea did, at least two ages...
The world does not self-regulate, it is not intelligent, it is all down to blind luck, because if it self-regulated that Imajollyoldskull volcano would not have happened, and ice-age would.

Oh, were they having an economic crash in 1985? Nobody else was.

When I say Nobody Else I include Cuba and China.

Maybe he should have collapsed the USSR early, and enjoyed the standard of living enjoyed by Luxembourg? Ya think?<

  In a manner of speaking. You have to remember that the arms race really stretched USSRs plannedness, the sheer size of, and sheer control of USSRs economy meant that the impact was slowed.
I wonder if it somehow made things worse or if it was going to be that bad anyway.

  Yeah, well... they cheated.

  Actually, probably.

Do you think the concessions are a sign of how much they both want Labour out, or of how serious they are about political reform?

Also: Do we really need reform? I mean, the system seems fine to me, it's the voters that's the problem. Average turnout was ~65%, thats ~35% who couldn't be arsed.
How much are you betting they were all yellow voters?

Lib Dem + Conservative...

It does give Lib Dems a chance to prove they can do (some of) the job(s).

The point being that if you are surrounded by people who do not have guns, you not only need guns but you need more guns?
No, you are right, I do not "get" your point. Maybe it's the brain-damage?

Let me ask this:
Is it possible that it was always going to happen like that, that there was nothing anyone could do to prevent it, that, at the end of the day, angry-shooty-muslim-man was plain lucky?

Perhaps you could make what you require clearer, flint?

Probably the same reason most of us are not:

Not enough room for everyone that has ever beaten him in an argument, even if they did do it with lots of swearing.

Crime (you break law, i break legs)

UN (it was a nice idea)
Housing and urban development (build up, stupid)
Immigration (yes/no)
China (bad china, bad)
Censorship
Terrorism
* Espionage ?
Internet piracy (i try before i buy)
* To big to fail ?
Health care
Welfare
Drug Legalization (within limits, yes)
Racial profiling (we're different in predictable ways, deal with it)
Profiling (if the shoe fits, deal with it)
War
Pacificism (pfft)
Environmentalism
> Green power
> Coal power
> Oil
> Nuclear power < (i think of them in tandem, together with environmentalism)
Gay rights (marriage?)
Iran
Nukes
* 'Upgrading for power savings' ?
AIDS
