I can't imagine a situation where a valid Kelly formula (yes, there are invalid ones and you should be aware of that) would have you allocating 80% of your capital unless you have a near-Grail trading system. Be that as it may, Step 1: make sure your Kelly calcs are valid by learning the...

Those "well-known metaphysical debates" have all the significance of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Either you accept objective reality or you don't; there's nothing to debate. This "falling tree doesn't exist unless somebody observes it" nonsense is mental masturbation, pure...

Do you actually think whether or not a falling tree makes a sound is a philosophy problem? :eek: That's incredible. Dude, just rig an experiment and see whether the falling tree (or any other impact) makes a sound when nobody's around by using a tape recorder. Is this the type of thinking...

The fact that he won the popular vote. The fact that more actual voters wanted him to be president than Bush, and given what happened afterwards, their instincts were flawless. The Electoral College is an abomination that should have been thrown out along with slavery. In 2000, Wyoming had...

Of course it's not the only way of looking at things, it's just the only logical way of looking at things. It's the only sane way of looking at things. Putting make-believe on the same level as reality is the pitiful display of ignorance. Willful ignorance for those who aren't suffering from...

Freedom isn't the least bit frightening to the intellectually honest. Claiming reality is arbitrary is pitiful. Own it.

If you're going to argue that evidence is a matter of opinion, then there's no reason to believe or disbelieve anything at all. Get a grip. Evidence is evidence because it is reality, and not based on beliefs or opinions. Like jem, you have a deep-seated need to believe in some superdaddy...

Thank you for not reproducing. :D

Wearing women's clothing is your thing, not mine. And in typical reactionary fashion, you don't give a rat's ass about the future of humanity. Just try not to look even more stupid by projecting your anti-social attitudes onto me. Unlike you, I do actually think humanity matters, whether I'm...

Yes the planet has gone through many changes. Has it ever occurred to you that humans could not survive in many of the past environments? At one time the oxygen level was so high, it would have burned out human lungs. The question is, what do we do to insure human survival NOW? I get the...

Reading impaired as usual, I see. I was responding to the ridiculous claim that "nobody belives[sic] in global warming", not a claim that global warming doesn't exist. I would respond the same way to a ridiculous claim that "nobody belives[sic] in God", which is independent of whether or not...

All good points. Thanks for presenting a reasoned response instead of a knee-jerk diatribe that is so typical of GW deniers.

You need to talk to the other conservatives posting in this thread. They obviously have a religious objection to ANY kind of global warming. As to MMGW, use basic logic: The majority of humans who have ever lived are alive today. We've had ever increasing industry and manufacturing for...

Actually, revisionist, Carter never used the word "malaise". That was the so-called "liberal" MSM's label of a speech he gave. As to the rabbit incident, most aggressive, unprovoked rabbits are rabid. What would YOU have done?

And you're not money hungry? Since when is that a sin in your world? Everybody in this forum likes money. Neither Gore nor Maher are socialists, your ridiculous prejudices notwithstanding. As to lying, useless d-bags, that's just unsubstantiated invective.

Al Gore is a trained journalist who's been involved in climate science studies since 1967. He's not a climate scientist but obviously he has the capability to transmit the science to laypeople. WTF makes anybody an expert on anything? Exposure, training, experience. Gore isn't some...

Right-wing propaganda: Soros is "behind" everything that happens in liberalism, whether it makes sense to believe so or not. Soros, a capitalist, is allegedly a closet socialist ... and as we all know, right-wingers, alleged capitalists, only approve of lemon socialism (socialism for the...

New Rule: Al Gore must come out with a sequel to his movie about climate change and call it An Inconvenient Truth 2: What the Fuck Is Wrong with You People? by Bill Maher Friday, 4 June 2010 A bunch of depressing new surveys reveal that people in droves are starting to believe that...

No, bugscoe does. Aren't you paying attention? I expressed no approval of the joke. I merely stated the fact that no right-wing "comedians" are worth quoting. It does not automatically follow that everything out of a liberal comedian's mouth is worth quoting (or, in bugscoe's case...

You can't seriously expect originality (or honesty) from an ET reichtard! :p And it's not like he can steal a quote from a right-wing "comedian". There aren't any worth quoting. :D
