    Thats a bullshit answer...Is that what we should tell the Ukrainians,Syrians, Iraqis,yemen, any other country that has seen conflict...Just move to where it is safer...what if we had that situation in Canada, could you just up and leave, is there no attachment to the place, the nation...

    Yes, I would tell anyone living in a conflict zone who feel threatened that they should get out if they can. In fact thousands. of Jews fled Israel after Oct. 7.

    Quote

    One of the reasons that Israel was created was because most other countries were kicking them out in mass... So where do they move where they are not prosecuted by governments,lobby groups, protest groups, or harassed by others who don't like their faith...

    IDK how about Canada, USA, UK, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Mexico...shall I continue?

    Quote

    When has it become normal to support terrorist behavior, to openly call for the destruction of a state or nation...we have laws for all of that and yet they are being suppressed or dismissed... 

    One of the more interesting turns after Oct.7 was the way conservatives have embraced the concepts like "hate speech" and "safe spaces"n after years of mocking them when they were a lefty thing.

    It would be wiser however, to look at it based on skill brought to the table.

    Accomplishments can be a part of the equation, as are certain skills and personality traits.

     

    How do you know what someone's skills are if they've never demonstrated them?

    Quote

    Just because you don't agree with the business he started, or any other innovative ideas he has brought to the table, doesn't make him any less of an entrepreneurial spirit.

    Again, my agreeing with his ideas or whatever has nothing to do with why i think it's absurd to claim he has an entrepreneurial spirit, but we've already established that your definition is entirely vibes-based.

    Your own cites say they're protesting the government for not bringing the hostages back, not for being mean to Gazans. The last poll I saw said Israelis feel the government isn't bombing Gazans ENOUGH. 

    The Oct 7 attack was the fears of all Israelis for the last seventy years brought out into the light. They've lived in a small country all their lives with the knowledge that every day there are people all along their borders in every direction willing to die to try to get over, under, around or through their defenses just to find a Jew and kill him or her. and Oct 7 wasn't just a couple of terrorists but thousands of people, some of them not even Hamas, but civilians who saw what was happening and eagerly joined in. 

    There is little sympathy among them for Palestinians right now.

     

    That's weird because Zionists will frequently argue that the ethnostate is necessary to assure the safety of Jews. Personally, if I lived in such a place I would simply move to one of the dozens of other countries where this would not be a problem.

    If someone has an entrepreneurial spirit, and hasn't started a business, this doesn't negate their entrepreneurial spirit.

    Pierre Poilievre has an entrepreneurial spirit, whether you choose to see it or not. 

    Ah so it has nothing to do with any accomplishments, it's just vibes. 

    Quote

     

    As an employer, I can spot that type of spirit a mile away. 

    Hire a guy like that, and he will be competent enough to run the show for you.

     

    If you're hiring a person who has no experience or accomplishments because of vibes you probably won't be in a position to hire people for long.

    My wife is an entrepreneur, but is slightly risk averse. Her liking risk less, doesn't make her any less of an entrepreneurial spirit.

    Starting a business doesn't automatically make one entrepreneurial. 

    I have seen tons of entrepreneurial spirits who never wanted to run their own businesses. This isn't a knock on someone, unless they are incredibly incompetent at their jobs.

     

    It's literally the dictionary definition of entrepreneurial. Everything else is secondary to that.

    Then why all the concern about what i say here, stupid? Ignore it all, stupid. Why do you keep going on? You are still here asking me dumb pkn questions again. What makes you so stoopid anyway? Low on brain cells, maybe? Chuckle. 

    You are too stupid to understand that people are laughing at you here, even people on your s=de of the ideological spectrum.

    Look up Mark Marano on the internet, stoopid. Mark Marano of website Climate Depot knows more about climate change and what is involved with climate change then what your little pea brain will ever know about climate change, stupid. What is wrong with conspiracy bloggers anyway? Did one of them kick you in your lack of brain cells/brain dead head of yours one time to try and knock some sense into your pea brain sized head? 

    Googled him and lmao:

    In April 2009, despite having no formal education in the field of climate science, Morano founded and became executive editor of ClimateDepot.com, a website sponsored by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT)

     

    People like you are so funny, you'll listen to any rando off the street who tells you what you want to hear.

    Quote

    Again and again and again, i could careless about how much CO2 has doubled or tripled in the last 100 years or so. And just how would you know this personally anyway? Have you done your own personal research on climate change to know this? I bet you have done freak all, stupid? 

    "How do you even know things" is such a perfect summary of your mindset. Completely ignorant and unwilling to even try and learn anything.

    Quote

    Again, what and how would you personally know anything about climate change? Are you an expert or a scientist on climate change? Just because some so called expert or scientist on climate change tells you something, do you believe everything they say? Those two may be on the payroll of the globalists climate change liars and bullshitters to try and make a name for themselves, stupid. That is nothing new, stupid. 

    So you don't believe me because I'm not personally an expert, but we also shouldn't listen to actual experts either. lol drown yourself in the toilet you living turd.

    Not sure how being a politician will automatically stop one from having an entrepreneurial spirit.

    He's clearly showcased it, and has the track record to prove it.

    He quite literally does not and that's why it's an absurd thing to say. Having an entrepreneurial spirit to me suggests a willingness to take risks, to try and start new ventures or seek new opportunities, especially in the private sector.

    Pee Pee has been safely ensconced in his publicly funded sinecure since he was 24 years old. He's never had a real job, started a business, nothing.

    And the world and mankind, with all of the weather and natural calamities that nature throws at us, humans will still be around today and tomorrow with many more nature blips here and there to come. Give nature a break, will you?

    What's your point, freakshow? No one is arguing that climate change is an extinction level event for humanity.

    Quote

    But besides that, you do know that you do appear to be not all that bright all that much at all, eh? Most of us here have already seen as to just how dumb you really can be. Mark Marano tries to explain things and how nature works to dummies like you, but you still refuse to listen to well informed people like Mark.

    Who TF is Mark Marano, one of your conspiracy bloggers? Does he, like you, also not understand what condensation is?

    Quote

    If CO2 is on the rise, then it will all be due to nature doing what it has always been doing ever since the earth was formed.

    Again, atmospheric CO2 has doubled in the last 100 or so years, which happens to line up with the industrial revolution.

    Quote

     

    Remember the great ice age? That was quite the event and disaster, that almost covered all of North America thousands of years ago. But after the great melt, life survived and came back. So, will we humans do the same. We will survive any climate events and carry on. We do not need more bullshit and the wasting of billions more of our tax dollars on this climate crisis bullshit. There is nothing to fear here, folks. Plenty of scumbags make plenty of money off of fools like you. 

    There is no climate crisis, dummy. Woke the phuk up, for gawd's sake. Geez, some people's kids? 🙄

     

    Again it's funny how you'll believe just about anything just as long as there's no actual scientific evidence for it.

    Well that's an interesting assertion Mike. https://royalyorkpropertymanagement.ca/news-article/most-ontario-renters-choosing-between-food-and-paying-rent-report

    I'm beginning to wonder if you really "understand" anything short of institutional fealty?

    Lord grant me the confidence of an a$$hole landlord who brags about jacking up rents and evicting vulnerable people posting a link about people struggling to make ends meet because of rising rents.

    In one word...nature.  The way it always has.  The world's temperatures are a complex thing.  Why have there been colder periods and hotter periods in history?  The same reason,  nature.  God designed the universe with a changing climate on earth obviously.  Same reason we have different seasons each year.  That is the way God created it to be

    You know that past natural cycles of warming and cooling have been dictated by changes to atmospheric CO2 levels, right?

    It's not circular logic.  Do you know what circular logic even is?

    It absolutely is, as I clearly illustrated. I can draw you a diagram if you want.

    Quote

    When you look at some complex thing that could not just happen, you should know there was an intelligent designer that made it.

    Except there's absolutely no reason to think something naturally occurring could not develop through natural processes. 

    Quote

    If you find a wrist watch lying on the dirt, would you say it just happened by chance?  Or would you know someone designed it?

    It is the same thing with the complex creation which could not design and create itself or happen by chance.

    It is simple logic which a lot of people do not recognize.

    I think we are getting closer to the crux of the matter.

    No it's easy to understand the logic, but it's a stupid analogy because a watch is not analogous to a natural phenomenon.

    Where is the evidence that man is causing climate change?  I am still waiting.  But I won't hold my breath.  We know you don't have any idea.

    Again: the evidence is the increase in global temperatures corresponds with the increase in atmospheric CO2 caused by human activities. What's the alternative explanation for why global temperatures have increased so rapidly?

    The evidence for God is all around us, yet many people do not believe God created it, but these same people are willing to believe man causes excessive climate change even though there is no clear evidence or proof.

    The world around us is not evidence of god because there are alternative explanation for how everything came to be that are far more plausible and that are actually supported by physical evidence.

    "God created everything in existence and the proof is the existence of everything" is circular reasoning and a basic failure of logic.

    Nobody can prove man changes the climate or can control it.  You don't believe in God or the Bible so your claim about sin is a fraud.  You wouldn't know what it is.

    The preponderance of evidence supports the theory of anthropogenic climate change, cope and seethe.

    1 hour ago, blackbird said:

    That is not proof of anything.  A claim that human CO2 increased with fossil fuels does not prove it is causing man-made global warming.  You don't appear to understand the difference between speculation and empirical science.

    This is stupid but it's extra stupid coming from a guy who thinks there's definitive proof of the existence of God. Straight up mental illness at work here.

    FYI we've never seen any real-world evidence that there's a safe, effective vaccine. Never.

    All we have for certain is evidence that it doesn't work. For example, the time we vaxed a whole country - Canada - to 85% coverage, and deaths and hospitalizations soared to the highest numbers ever, by far. 

    Case counts in January 2022 alone were higher than the total case count for all of 2020 but the death and hospitalization rates were drastically lower, how can you post so much about a subject and still not understand basic statistics, you crackpot goof?

    1.  Your opinion only with no evidence or proof of anything.

    It's pretty clear you have no idea what "proof" and "evidence" mean. 

    Quote

     

    2.  Per capita emissions prove nothing.  It is the actual total emissions of each country that we use to compare Canada against other countries.  Canada's is only 1.5% of mankind's total emissions.

    Canada has a large land mass and a smaller population and uses more fossil fuels because of the cold climate.  We must travel greater distances and use more fossil fuels to heat our homes in the colder climate than much of the rest of the world.  

    Much of the rest of the world are in poverty and many people do not have cars, houses, etc. that Canadians have.  So talking about per capita is meaningless.  Of course Canadians use more.  That doesn't mean we need to suffer more or pay for carbon taxes.  Man cannot control the climate.

     

    None of that is an argument for not reducing our carbon output especially since it's pretty obvious that anthropomorphic climate change is real. "Man cannot control climate" is a false statement and last I checked, lying was a sin.

    Studies that have no underlying empirical proof are not scientific proof.

    Studies citing other studies that have no proof are not proof either.

    Repeating the same thing over 435 times doesn't prove anything.

    LOL says the guy who won't shut up about "the total amount of CO2 man emits is a tiny fraction of the amount of natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."

    Really?  What I said is based on data available on the internet through search engines.  The simple facts are on various websites.  The total amount of CO2 man emits is a tiny fraction of the amount of natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.  That is a well known fact.  You can do some searching and find the figures yourself.

    Another fact is the amount of CO2 mankind emits is known.  Canada emits 1.5% of the mankind's total emissions. You can easily verify that on the internet yourself.

    These simple fact lead me to the opinion:

    1.  Mankind is not emitting enough greenhouse gas in the form of fossil emissions to have any real effect on global warming or climate change.  That is an opinion only.

    2.  Canada's emissions of 1.5% of mankind's is miniscule and no matter what Canada does, it is unlikely to have any impact on mankind's total emissions.  Therefore we are wasting our resources, energy, and time on "fighting pollution" as Trudeau claims.

    Instead of insulting people on here, you need to grow up and converse in a sane manner.

    1. The fact that the amount of man-made CO2 in the atmosphere is a relatively low percentage of total is totally irrelevant. 

    2. Canada's per capita emissions are among the highest in the world and there's no compelling argument for not doing out part to reduce that.

  19. 23 minutes ago, blackbird said:

    Since you are so well-informed, what is the underlying scientific proof that man is causing climate change?  Or where is the proof the minute amount of man-made CO2 is causing global warming? 

    I have not seen it.  Speculation is not proof.  Neither are the rantings of Greta Thunberg, Trudeau, or any politician.

    You're right dude the massive increase in atmospheric CO2, a potent GHG, and corresponding increase in global temperatures over the last 100 years is just a coinkydink.

    Sorry, kind of busy around here and I can easily drop a ball while putting out fires.

    Yes, water vapour is increasing - but the simplistic "activists" have the cart before the horse and tend to blame ocean temp rise on CO2 and thus increased water vapour - which is not at all correct.   Oceans present about 80% of all evaporation into the troposphere and much of that is controlled by the SML (Surface micro layer) composed of phytoplankton - and it is the kill off of phytoplankton that is primary driver of surface evap rate increase that CONSEQUENTIALLY ocean temperature increases from greater water vapour in troposphere is most likely

    dangerous to lean on pseudo science from those who profit from demonizing carbon..

    I have not read your link because of how you entitled it....but promise I will do so over next couple days. 

    And what's killing phytoplankton?

  21. 17 hours ago, blackbird said:

    Almost all the CO2, water vapour, and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere are normal and nothing to do with man.  As I said many times, man contributes a miniscule amount of CO2 which is not going to make any difference to anything except our wallets.  

    A belief you have admitted isn't based on any science or data, just a worthless and ill-informed opinion.

    So your final answer is: "Deaths were up by 30%, but that's just because 7x as many people got infected..."

    Are you for real? Is that what qualifies as "a success" in your books?

    Given how many more of those infected people would have died without the vaccine, the answer is quite obviously yes and only an absolute dipshit would say otherwise.
