Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this!!!
Coming from somebody who explicitly admitted to “dodging and weaving,” that doesn’t mean much.
You still won’t admit that you’re a fucking deceitful coward. Interesting.
How’s the thread in GD going? Oh what’s that, a mod closed it because you can’t be bothered to give an honest answer to anything?
You’re pathetic. But at least your predictable.
Lol. That mod was full of shit.
Aptronym evaded and evaded and evaded. He even admitted that he was “dodging and weaving.” The last page, I told him I wouldn’t answer his question until he answered mine. Suddenly I’m the one who’s evading? Gimme a break.
And since we’re in the pit, I will vent a little.

GIGObuster is a fucking moron. Arrogant fucker too. Seems to feel that his google-vomit actually means something.
-
I have no idea about you, since your participation is mainly limited to sniping. You certainly are not very good at objective thought.
-
aptronym is actually pretty smart. Unfortunately he is smart enough that he’s doesn’t have enough appreciation for the possibility that he is wrong. About anything.
And me? Unfortunately, I am wrong about something at least once a week. But most likely, I’m not wrong about CAGW. We’ll see who has the last laugh.
Did I miss anyone? Oh yeah, brainfirebob is a fucking moonbat.
Have a nice day.
Assuming the acronym is Climate Change/Global Warming-based, what is your position exactly? I haven’t been keeping up.
And the media is steamrolling good science and the IPCC is part of the New World Order and the NAS is too politically correct. It’s a vast conspiracy to cover up the truth. :rolleyes:
Only to toy with you. When you ask for cites that I’ve already given, it pays to dance a little bit and make you think that they don’t exist before posting them.
You realize how bad you looked when you spent 50 posts whining about how you’re not my research assistant and I should do my own research, and then have to admit that you made statements at the beginning of the thread without having read the IPCC report?
I’m guessing you didn’t notice.
You’re right that I’m a little arrogant when I’m debating on the Internet. You’re right that I rarely admit I’m wrong, and that I hold an undying belief that I’m right.
You know why?
Because I’m smart enough not to post in threads where I haven’t done my research.
I don’t start up a global warming thread and type up a big long fucking post about radiative forcing and the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and then, 140 posts in, suddenly realize - OH SHIT - I didn’t think this one through!
You don’t see me in mortgage securities threads, blabbering on about how Ben Bernake is totally wrong about how interest rates affect the stock market and how our economy would be growing at 20% annually if we had a 10% Fed Rate. And there’s a good reason you don’t see me saying those things - the vast majority of economists would disagree, and I don’t know jack shit about economics.
A Google vomit, you pathetic person that does not know what fallacies are, is a point supported by a Google search with thousands or millions or hits showing in reality total disregard for the readers, The evidence I found was posted with quotes showing valid evidence. It will remain for all to see that even when identifying a Google Vomit you are a Moron.
Pwned.
DNFTT
Of course people have been debating the merits with you ad nauseam, and you haven’t learned the slightest thing from it.
You evidently don’t understand what an ad hominem argument even is. It isn’t just an insult, as you seem to think. Rather, it’s an attempt to call into question the correctness of an opponent’s argument by attacking the opponent himself. That’s not what’s been happening here or in the thread in which you were Pitted. In this case, as in many others, you parrot technical terms without understanding their real meaning.
People in general haven’t been saying your arguments are wrong because you are a moron. Instead, the ignorance and ineptitude you have shown in your debates demonstrate in themselves that you must necessarily be quite stupid. “Brazil84 is a moron” is thus more in the nature of an objective observation than an insult.
The fact of the matter is that you have lost, and lost decisively, every debate on global warming you have participated in (as well as pretty much any other subject you have offered an opinion on). Now, there may actually be some debatable points about some aspects of AGW (although the overall reality of the phenomenon is pretty well established), and a knowledgeable person might be able to dispute them. You, however, simply lack the knowledge, intellectual capacity, and debating skills to make these arguments effectively.
Jshore, aptronym, and others have effectively refuted your points, and buried you under a mountain of data and analysis. You have been completely unable to counter their arguments. You have, simply in debating terms, been roundly defeated. Yet you continue to argue, even though ineffectually. You really are a core member of the Fighting Ignorant – those who argue from a position of ignorance rather than knowledge, who refuse to learn, who have no interest in actually understanding the truth of the matter they are debating.
Really, we are giving you the benefit of the doubt here by considering you to be a moron. It’s impossible to believe that an intelligent person, debating in good faith, would continue to argue as pointlessly as you have. Therefore you must either be extraordinarily stupid, or else be persisting in your arguments merely to bait and annoy other posters. And I do hope you understand that the latter is against our rules.
Before you begin to whine about how you are being attacked and treated unfairly because your opinions are unpopular, I would point out there are others here (including some in this thread) who have debated aspects of AGW, and they don’t get Pitted. Why? Either because 1) they actually know something about the subject, and raise valid points; or 2) they recognize the limitations of their knowledge, and don’t persist in debating subjects they don’t really understand. You were Pitted and called a moron not because of your opinions, but because of your behavior.
Beautiful.
It’s not the overbloated bureaucracies that are the problem. It’s that any constructive steps to fight and remedy global warming are politically unpopular, whether it be increasing tolls to discourage driving, increasing taxes to improve mass transit, and so on.
brazil84 is an anthropogenic-climate-change skeptic – see this thread and this one.
And this one. (New.)
You’re too kind in your description of him. Troll, paid hack, drooling idiot, dishonest jerkwad, are all closer to the truth.
I would not categorize him as a skeptic. That implies to me that he has actually made some objective attempt to consider the evidence. It’s pretty obvious he is arguing from a pre-conceived, intransigent position. He is a simply dogmatic denier of the existing evidence; nothing, I think, would convince him.
Now, now! We have no evidence he’s being paid! (Many people do all of that stuff for fun. A great many.)
NAFTA was supposed to open world markets. But auto makers in America are having a problem. We do not meet the CAFE standards. China is 36 mpg right now. We are hoping to get to 32 by 2020. Presently we are at 27.5 We are so stupid. Buy our hummers and Navigators. WHY? Other countries recognize the future is in small cars .
Our corporations fight every attempt to drag them into the future.
No, NAFTA was supposed to open to each other the markets of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
