That's a good point. Additionally, the loss of the ability of citizenry to enslave foreigners has reduced the productivity of the nation. Without slaves the economy has struggled more than it would have otherwise. Clearly if the rate of enslavement was higher, such as if reasonable citizens...

Yes, they are hard questions aren't they, and I understand why you don't want to answer them. Validity in samples isn't gained from having bazillions of samples, if the samples aren't accurate. Nor is validity gained from being "averages" of a lot of crappy samples. In fact, the samples...

That's not great. Some countries have nearly 100% for prenatal care. You see it as them needing limousines, but perhaps what they need is fewer barriers (ie forms, payment, etc.) to receiving prenatal care. The fact that you feel that some of these women are "freeloaders" says a lot.

Links to calculation of typical quality-of-life measures like HDI (Human Development Index)? You can see how it includes things like life-expectancy. http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/data/calculator/

Wow, a website with forms and reference materials. http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparemaptable.jsp?ind=44&cat=2

Except that's not what she said. She actually said "find out what's in it away from the fog of controversy." The real problem is that there's a huge group of people like yourself who are being led around by Beck, Rush and Ailes because you're too lazy to look things up for yourself. You...

What if the measurements were taken six feet off the ground?

Actually I'm just asking on what locations do you base your belief in your claim. You claim there's "90,000 direct measurements" -- okay, where? And if they were in London, clearly you agree that they should be rejected as it was an "industrial shithole." What if I told you that many of...

No, you cited a claim made by Beck, then cited another guy who cited Beck. Here -- let's play a game: Let's say that Beck wanted you to average measurements done in London in the 1800's, around the time of the industrial revolution --you would obviously agree that those CO2 measures should...

Your second link cites the link you posted originally (Beck) but doesn't tell us what measurements and your first claim is, yes, a kook and cites no specifics. Again, cite your claim. All we're looking for is where the measurements were taken (ie. in a city?) and if they were confirmed by...

Ummm... okay. Well, firstly, tell us what specific measurement showed 440 ppm in 1940 or the 1800's. (You can't, of course, without telling us two pieces of information: one that it was collected in a polluted city and two, that it was a one-off measurement not confirmed by other...

Ah, I see. So the original claim of the article that you believed which was that Britain "has now joined the ranks of the denier nations" is false -- but... uh... something about how nothing is known for certain. (Insert more arm waving.) I suppose that, given there can be no absolute...

Here, I'll blow your mind again: "Quality of life is a different measure from immigration or poverty." But if you need to stuff the words "Poverty has nothing to do with quality of life" into my mouth to make yourself feel good, knock yourself out. But seriously, is that the stupidest thing...

Nobody's saying that Cuba isn't poor. Nor is anyone claiming that there haven't been many boat people over the years. And Dominicans, fyi, do illegally immigrate and in fact tens of thousands have illegally immigrated to Puerto Rico. So your two points are irrelevant, and your third point...

I remember back when Americans could handle being called a nasty name. Not anymore.

Why would we do that? If that happens it's only because of the liberals, somehow. It's handy to have a catch-all scapegoat. And if they are to blame it's only because they weren't REAL Republicans.

Um, okay, they shouldn't show this video because you find the group detestable. I remember in the 80's how the feminists would freak out every time someone would write something that they didn't like, or that could even remotely be interpreted as misogynist. Now, God forbid if you upset...

Um, so you actually believe that global warming advocates are advocating killing people. You see, I find that unlikely. In fact, I find that so over-the-top that it's hilariously silly and only an effective way to get people's attention for a rather mundane topic (conservation). Evidence...
