"Like Peak Oil or Global Warming."

He claimed, "The environmentalists have a real one [doomsday]". According to his link, that would be the oft-discredited hockey stick curve. To the left, Environmentalism is the One True Faith. LIke those cults sneered at in the article, Environmentalism has offered us several doomsday predictions over the years, each one as false as that of the Millerites. Remember when Paul Ehrlich intoned "The battle to feed humanity is over. By 1980..." going on to predict global death by starvation.

If we of the dark side agree to embrace carbon-free energy technologies, will you people admit that you have been wrong about nuclear power all these years? Will you commit to using today's standardized, mass-produceable reactor designs to replacing the coal-fired half of the nation's generating capacity as fast as we can?

"Party of Eisenhower and Rockefeller (which had problems of its own) would be aghast at this current anti-science, anti-logic, foaming at the mouth Republican Party we're stuck with."

We do have our problems with a tiny minority of fundie wackjobs, but we're not the party infested with people who think that ALL modern tech other than Twitter is too dangerous to contemplate. Anti-cloning, anti-GMO, anti-nuclear. And now anti-vaccination, goddamnit, a technology that has been around for over 200 years. You might want to contemplate the organically-grown beam in your own eye before commenting on the mote in our own.

"So how many would step up for a shot based on governmental and medical recommendations communicated by corporate media?"

So stay away from this corporate plot against you. After you all die of smallpox, perhaps we can get an economy going around here.

Ine of my earliest memories as a small boy in the Old Country, living with my grandparents surrounded by the devastation bequeathed us by the Germans, was seeing the Jehovah Witness publication Awake! on their mantel. I was just old enough to read the headline, "The World WIll End in 1954!" Like today's liberals, the JWs had staked their whole reputation on that prediction.

The moral of this story: People who called themselves JWs still persisted after the magic date, but no one of any importance has taken them seriously ever since.

"Roman Polanski instructed her to get into a jacuzzi naked, refused to take her home when she begged to go, began kissing her even though she said no and asked him to stop; performed cunnilingus on her as she said no and asked him to stop; put his penis in her vagina as she said no and asked him to stop; asked if he could penetrate her anally, to which she replied, "No," then went ahead and did it anyway, until he had an orgasm."

...he did these things in Pig AmeriKKKa, which as the entertainment industry knows is always wrong about everything.

"What's funny about this here particular pile-on is that half the dumbfucks here are really just pissed off and jealous that they were never rich, successful or famous enough to afford the same decadent, sybriatic lifestyle that got Polanski in trouble in the first place."

So...how many hitchhikers do you have stashed under your cabin?

...A ten-foot Pole you wouldn't touch anything with.

As good liberals, you should treat crime like the weather. It's going to happen whether you like it or not, it's Nature's way, it's just their cuuuuuuulture, it's the right of the poor and the perk of the powerful.

"I think that the wealthy Republicans, who can afford good private healthcare and other special treats, and who vote consistantly in their best interests only, and the incorrigibily moronic poor Rupugs who vote consistantly against their own best interests, should not only be dropped from all debate on critical social issues, they should also be kicked out of the country. "

Good thought actually, but why should WE be the ones who have to go? I say demarcate the most Democratic inner districts of out largest cities, the places with at least fifty carjackers per thousand population, and incorporate them as an independent People's Republic of Liberalia. You could tax each other into oblivion. You could make money on bus tours for European danger tourists. The rest of us, meanwhile, could live in peace.

You have no right to inject observational data into a religious context. The left has determined that global warming is absolutely true, and we're all gonna die, and that's that.

The best we can do is make them start living with the results of the decision that have made for all of us. We need to start building those reactors right now, and no time to lose. After all, we have half the nation's entire generating capacity to replace, and that's if we keep the gas-fired plants for now.
