Climate Change An Excuse For a Lack of Flood Control

[jmotivator]

I've already explained that I had never heard any other slang usage except the racial slur AND that I assumed he did not mean it as that. If that isn't enough for you then tough ****. :roll:

And, yes, if Home Depot somehow, for some out-of the-world reason refers to a person as a "spade" they would definitely face severe backlash from the community, if not some late-night property damage. But I don't really expect people like you to see the difference between the labeling of an inanimate object and a personal slur. Most slurs imply the person in question is somehow not human so how could you possibly tell the difference?

Hmmmm... I see quite a few people named Spade in the phone book. Obviously a racist publication.

Yeah, look at the jones walking down the street! :roll:



People like you often think racism and racial slurs are just one big joke.

 

[jmotivator]

Yeah, look at the Jones walking down the street! :roll:

Now you appear to be understanding!

But I also get your initial point. When you go around using the term "watermelon" in a perfectly acceptable fashion you have to always be on the lookout for ignorant people. eace

I've understood from the beginning. You're the one with the comprehension problem.


I don't call them ignorant but then I don't think racism and racial slurs are a big joke, either, while you obviously do.

False. I have known the many uses of the word watermelon all along and knew what flogger meant given the context. YOU have already admitted to knowing nothing about the use of the word "watermelon" in context of climate activists so you are lying about understanding from the beginning.

False. Your reply was to the phrase "Yeah, look at the Jones walking down the street!" I've understood all along about racial slurs and what various people believe and don't believe about them. You're the one that's demonstrated ignorance in that department, not me. You even apparently missed the (purposely) incorrect usage in that quote. Yeah, a real genius you are.

The post you quoted had nothing to do with Denier-speak slurs and, yes, I admitted my ignorance of said slurs. As usual, you Denied the evidence so you could jump to a false conclusion and have something to bitch about. :roll:

*sigh* No, Mosurveyor. You were the only ignorant one in that conversation. Had you NOT been ignorant you may not have done the knee-jerk retreat to the race card. For you to make a statement out of pure, admitted ignorance, and then claim that you knew from the start. False. You can't claim you knew from the beginning AND plead ignorance. That discomfort you are feeling is called "cognitive dissonance".

*sigh* No, jmotivator. When you quote someone else's post you should be replying to that quote, not something else that was posted. When you said "Now you appear to be understanding" I took that as a comment about my "Jones" quote, which was about racial slurs and racism, a subject I know very well and I said as much. ((Or are you now trying to claim 'spade' and 'Jones' are also some weird kind of Denier-speak???)) You apparently believe racial slurs and racism are funny. I do not. You are trying to tie my claim to understanding racial slurs and racism from the beginning to your weird Denier-speak, which I have no interest in at all. Quit lying about what I meant. You're pissed because I still think your attitudes toward racial slurs and racism are sad and immature. Yes, I understand that subject and people like you VERY well.

 

[jmotivator]

*sigh* No, jmotivator. When you quote someone else's post you should be replying to that quote, not something else that was posted. Your post #26 didn't make any comment about the first paragraph of my post where I was talking about Denier-speak. Instead, you wanted to further explore your callous outlook on racial slurs and racism. If you wanted to continue down the path of Denier-speak then you should have written about it, instead. Since you wrote about racial slurs and racism - instead of Denier-speak - I commented on racial slurs and racism, a part of society that I understand very well.

Haha, man. You will go to any lengths to defend your ignorant response, won't you? You were the one that tried to turn the statement into a racial slur because you were ignorant. Accept that your comment was born of ignorance, apologize for trying to frame the statement as a racial slur and move on with your life. I know it's never easy to admit you are wrong, especially on the internet where unanimity makes doubling down on your ignorance easier than owning up to it, but just move on. You screwed up.

Such poor reading comprehension. Did you even make it through high school?

I guess you were so intent on making fun of racial slurs and racism that you didn't bother to read the very first part of my post at all. :doh

We've seen the Obama administration blame the drought in California on climate change. Now the British Prime Minister has blamed flooding in Southern England on climate change. In both cases the real problem is a lack of good government -- failure to apportion enough water for farmers in California and failure to build flood control structures in Britain.

Britain as Bangladesh - WSJ.com

Climate change has become an excuse for government not to protect its citizens from disaster while the politicans get more money and power. (How evil can these people get?)

Hold on a sec. So you're saying that because politicians blame things on natural events, it means that the science behind those natural events is wrong? Then you're saying that it follows that the scientists are evil? What?

Grade: F

Grade: F

With regard to flooding in Britain, steps could have been taken that could have avoided it, but officials used global warming as an excuse not to take them. With regard to the drought in California, the government has placed the welfare of fish over that of farmers but then blamed the resulting misfortune and economic hardship on global warming.
