Well that's some awesomesauce right there. For the republic!

Dude, don't even try arguing with him. He doesn't pay attention to detail and I believe is literally unable to get over his belief that there are secret pinko overtones in the franchise. Don't believe me? http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=201796 Ask him about the super economist...

Because they weren't. Unless you're going to redefine what a conservative is or use a foreign definition, which I won't. Europeans and others seem to have a very different understanding of left-right politics, so that's something to consider. Actually it really wasn't. Fascists were just...

Well, thanks I guess. It's always good to hear from the other side. I myself always question myself and my beliefs, not because I think they're wrong, but because self-reflection and critical thinking are important for the individual.

I wasn't talking about the Science Magazine quote; that was in 1976. Global cooling was pushed since 1975. The government supported it in '75. In 1975, "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age" was pushed and published by eighteen authors. Newsweek and The New York Times, and I'm sure...

Well those tribesmen would have to reach salvation on their own. Children though aren't responsible for their salvation until they've reached the age of accountability. I can see that. This goes back to before the Crusades. They teach their kids to hate Jews and kill themselves along with...

Do we really need to show Red China *anything*? Least of all Japan who did nothing during its reign of terror that the very Communist regime in place now didn't do under Mao since the civil war onward. If Japan should have to apologize to anyone it should be the real China, the ROC, Taiwan and...

I would donate it to the RNC to make up for my past sins.

.000001 No it hasn't. And "any" climatologist, protester, government official, bureaucrat, and magazine in 1975 would have told you that global cooling was real and that we were headed towards a new ice age. Oh please. The only quote slightly defensible was the one about using "tricks" to alter...

Oh yes, it was definitely teacher choice, doubt it was curriculum. I was more worried back then about the day ending than about complaining though.

1. Things like national debts are a key part of nations establishing credit and in no way denote a lack of capitalism. 2. Central banks do the same and are a way to supply the nations currency/coined money to the people to make economic transactions easier and convenient. 3. And who cares what...

Uhuh, we all get that you're a socialist. You're arguing against a point I never made. In real life, Japan is capitalist and the Pokemon games, cards, shows, movies, toys, and comics are all part of a franchise that's spread from Japan to the West and proven an economic success and very popular...

No it doesn't. Science, if anyone's been paying attention the past few weeks, has been used to manipulate data to influence public opinion and push policy. The real science has shown just opposite, that human activities are insignificant with regards to warming and that temperatures are dropping...

Pokemon is a popular franchise that's been a product of the free market. I wasn't even speculating about the fictional world, I was talking about real life just for a second there.

No we shouldn't limit carbon emissions. This is the first time in history that people have accepted that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Unbelievable. It's a basic, necessary component of life. No CO2, no life. Are they going to cap how much we can breathe? Ugh. This Copenhagen summit is nothing...
