PS to my last post. mouse, you'll notice that these days I stay out of 9/11 debates, the Apollo space mission thread, most local issues (except usually to ask questions), etc. I don't pretend to know more than I know. I generally stay out of political debates too because they are largely driven by ideology, not reason. It is the misinterpretation or ignorance of the weight of scientific evidence in fields that I understand deeply (through reading from a wide range of sources on all sides of a question) that prompts me to comment.
I've learned a lot about a wide range of subjects from reading the commentary of people in here and I thank them all for it. Off the top of my head, scott (who seems to have largely disappeared) knows his economics, bb his maths and physics and systems theory amongst many other things, and even Wild Stout says some interesting things which I freely admit even though I think he has misinterpreted the evidence on climate change, which we clearly agree to disagree on. Maybe you and I should just agree to disagree on evolution and leave it at that.
Okay. I'm obviously missing something so I'll leave that to you.
Nah, mouse provides colour to this place. He's a fixture and always should be.
On a serious note the 9/11 threads are for Americans by Americans, the only thing foreigners know less about than 9/11 is the bill of rights
And sports, movies and music
We know that it affected the course of world history. And we have access to the same information about it that you do. But I personally choose to stay out of it because, as you say, it is an issue primarily for Americans, even though it affected us all.
Ruff I know you have had a busy day in the science lab today but when you get home do me a favor, before you check on your Saved by the bell complete DVD series Torrent downloading from Pirate bay go to the start of this topic where do you see me "spewing ?"
If you noticed your the one who drew first blood. I know in the dark dingy pool halls and in the outback alleys that might not mean anything, but here in America it means a lot.
As long as they don't........................Everyone is allowed their opinion.
So much for your last quote.My opinion is that you spew a bunch of bull that you try to pass off as science,
as a someone who used to look up to Scientist I find you unstable, scary, and in need of medication or a shot of some real pussy, none of that you call pussy down under..and as a scientist I find that offensive.
but hey that's my opinion.........

Indeed. I've said what I wanted to say, as have you - I played the straight man, you the fool. Adios! It's 4.30pm Friday here and I have beer to drink.![]()
So in America we can't talk about Kangaroos or the great barrier reef?
I thought Science was "world wide" how can you talk about Evolution and Space if your afraid to talk about NY city?
It's your ball take it home.................

How does that come out of what I said. Read my post again:I pick my battles... usually.I choose to stay out of it
Today was fun!![]()
Get your Aussie Ass out of here before I make you my !
BTW, you are a terribly predictable debater. You use all the classic tools:
1. faulty premises
2. switching the subject
3. syllogisms
4. strawman arguments
5. cherry picking and deliberate misinterpretation
6. ad hominem attacks
Try using logic some time.
Now, see, I respect Danny. No nonsense about that. Later.![]()
Ruff is dead on! I support him, and I have his back!![]()
Awwww, sheeeit. Now my credibility is ruined!
PS Watching Suns v Mavs and finding it hard to work out who I hate more... nah, it's the Mavs.

Mouse is awesome, he's a professional at comedy.
Don't take debates here seriously. The only person that anyone needs to convince is themselves. Look at the facts and evidence, draw your conclusions, and live knowing that you found what you believe is the truth. No one will convince others of anything on Spurstalk or any online medium (unless they had a shaky stance on it anyways).
Whats it matter if Billy Bob Jones thinks the earth is 400 years old or if he thinks everything he cannot witness is false?
It doesn't. Online debates are not serious business.
Chill out with all the personal attacks because of someones opinion
And on the flip side, man up if someone brings the heat, they're just words.
Praise be Ala!
