If I did not hurt your feelings, why all the emotionalism? My point was also a request, that we debate the facts.


What emotion?

When a person debates what the other person feels,that is emotionalism. It is not based on facts (no one can know what the other person feels).
You continue to change the focus of our debate from the subject to what we feel.
For example,and very ironically I might add, your last post is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Instead of wanting to debate AGW, you want the debate to be centered on if you are emotional or not.

Raptor,
What I did (when I exposed your emotionalism ) was prove that your argument is invalid. I did not prove that its conclusion is not true. I did that later when I gave primary sources.
There is a difference between validity and truth.
For example, here is an argument that is both valid and true.
1. All men are mortal.
2. Socrates was a man.
3. Therefore,. Socrates was mortal.
Here is an argument that is valid but not true,
1. All Martians eat snakes.
2. Bob is a Martian.
3. Therefore,. Bob eats snakes.
Here is an argument that is true and yet invalid.
1. Obama is president of the USA.
2. North Carolina is part of the USA.
3. Therefore, the earth goes around the sun.

If there is no global warming than why did I get bumped a climate zone?I was zone 6,now I'm zone 7.Armadillos are now up into Missouri.Migratory birds are showing up in places they didn't.Whether it is man made, or natural,it's happening.I would think it would be prudent to assume that it is caused by us,so we should do things to try and prevent it.Better to error on the side of caution since we have only this planet.We have not found a new one to f*^k up yet.
The old timers here remember when it got cold enough to freeze the Buffalo so you could skate on it, when you butchered your meat could hang outside and freeze.The eighty year old that grew up on my home place said they had a sled trail cut thru the woods to the store.

But right now there is no business in stopping global warming, just keep buying more stuff to make the situation worse until someone invents a way to charge people to clean it up again.

I remember when ice fishing was common in Michigan. Now it is almost non-existent! A friend of mine is from Texas. He is a hunter. He told me that duck season is almost non-existent in Texas because the birds stay up north!! !
OK, the cult of climate deniers may reject science and logic. But denying what they personally experience and the reality that surrounds them???

OK. You are saying that this thread is about emotionalism and not evidence and logic. Perhaps, a good point. A liberal entering this thread is like an adult showing up at Daytona beach during spring break. Anyway, party on and avoid intelligent discourse.
I guess that is your excuse for being proven wrong, this thread is about partying, not intelligent debate. Considering the title of the thread you are probably correct.

When you are on SSI but you still give twenty dollars to a street beggar.She sure was happy.She only wanted a dollar,I said I would give her one,but when I looked in my purse,all I had were twenties.I suppose she went and got a fat rock of crack with it.I guess I am too tender hearted for my own good.I did not tell the Valkyrie I did it,she screeches at people asking her for money.I knew she would screech at me for handing it out.You should have heard her on the phone with the Sprint customer service about her bill 8O

This thread was started in earl September 2011 by me in response to a typically childish thread about conservatives that was started in November 2007 and resurrected by the OP in late August of 2011 and again this month. That’s when I resurrected this thread. But hey, since the OP is one of yours (a liberal) I ‘spose it’s okay.
