The Swamp

Do not taunt Curtis Woodhouse on Twitter.

British boxer TKOs Twitter troll
Curtis Woodhouse, a British boxer fed up with anonymous abuse, tracks down his Twitter tormentor.

Posting an image of a flow chart? Really? Pffft. But none of this takes away from the fact that there's loads of evidence for this being real. Ah, yes, that. It requires, of course, that you ignore the fact that the overwhelming majority of AGW studies were commissioned. And commissioned studies wil...

How many people here think it's blatantly obvious that we should identify environmentalists as religious followers? Does anyone else have a fucking opinion in this place anymore? Go to a university. Any university. look around. Look around at all the greenwashing. Think all of those kids have done ...

You're wrong. You're wrong on every level imaginable. The idea that nobody else will tell you how wrong you are I can only chalk up to them being overly respectful for their gratitude in giving us the Swamp back. But just trust me...you're wrong. It's okay...you're usually right about shit. But som...

Alright . . . kindly give it one more try, k?

90% of the people who deny GW are doing it for a specifically religious reason..."Jesus ain't gonna let nuthin' happen to us." When you say this shit about having faith in science, you sound like one of those creationists that thinks the universe is 6000 years old. Read that again. If, af...

I'm clearly just missing it. I doubt I'm alone. I'll simplify it. Environmentalism is a religion. Exactly. It's adherents follow it in the exact same fashion as Christians and Muslims follow their cults. And (as you have demonstrated) with the exact same hateful dismissive fervor toward any who thi...

Are you missing the point on purpose or is there a sale on strawmen at Chez J'Lo this week?

You know what takes faith? Thinking that Carbon Dioxide will just disappear or turn into something else on it's own. Trying to take action on it and holding humanity accountable for fixing it is really the opposite of what religious people would do. This is why every fundie wingnut you'll ever meet...

Temporary J-Lo wrote:And no...environmentalism is not a religion.

Oh, you're dead wrong on that. Environmentalism is exactly a religion. Exactly. Corporate, social-engineering driven, faith based, disdain of all who disagree, mythological, denied reality, demagogues, propaganda; yep, it's got it all.

Humans just can't get past that stupid insecure need to believe in something greater than themselves. I don't think it's insecure at all. That mentality comes from the idea that this was all put here for us. If humans didn't see themselves as superior to everything else they share the planet with, ...

It wasn't there or you didn't notice it? Meh, no matter. I went to the Group Permission settings, advanced settings, checked to see that Registered Members had permission to create polls (Group Permissions > Swamp > Misc), verified that it was "yes", didn't change any settings but did hit ...

So . . . they are aiming at the poor, the least educated, the least connected. Fitting since intellectuals long since gave up on religion as a relic from humanity's infancy; turn to the dumb ones to bulk up on believers. core competencies. key demographics. all that business stuff. That's precisely...

Yeah, I would have talked to the birds, too.

Well, penguins.

So . . . they are aiming at the poor, the least educated, the least connected. Fitting since intellectuals long since gave up on religion as a relic from humanity's infancy; turn to the dumb ones to bulk up on believers. Francis? After a guy that used to wander out into the woods and talk to birds. ...

This is a nice coincidence of events given that I'm deeply immersed in re-reading Christopher Hitchens' "God Is Not Great (How Religion Poisons Everything). Which, if you have not read, get a man on that immediately.

If the new pope isn't named in the next fifteen minutes, the Jacksonville Jaguars can choose, right?

I've been practicing answering the phone for hours now.

Still nothing.

Priaprism?

What's that? One of those newfangled environmentally-friendly hybrid boners?

(Plus I also set the "threads per page view" to 40 and I want to see what happens when we get to a second page of threads) Anyway . . . I always believed that the reason Toronto's SkyDome (now Rogers Center) used artificial turf was simply because it is a multi-purpose facility. According ...

. . . a mild unexpected reaction from someone in the background to make you wonder if they are really in the cult and this show is a heap of rags struggling to create the illusion of a tangled web . That's Poe. Well, not really. It's Sir Walter Scott. But I'm thinking of starting my own cult based ...

You're welcome, Zlax. (I'm certain that is the first time I have ever typed that line.) I completely welcome any and all feedback. Really. Everybody, don't hold back. In many cases, if you don't tell me something is bothering you, I simply won't know. In fact, that is exactly why we have the forum a...

Go to: User Control Panel > Board Preferences > My Board Style.

From there you can select "subsilver2" (which is the default phpBB blue you are used to) or "prosilver" which is different somewhat yet again.

In short, you have three styles from which to choose.
