Science vs. Science™!

I'm sorry my if my opinion offends you. It's how I feel. Look at the article in the OP. All it does is ridicule liberals. If all the article did was ridicule conservatives I'd say that it had an extreme left wing bias.

One article critical of "liberals" makes the entire enterprise "extreme right-wing"?

What actually offends me is sloppy thinking like that. Chances are, you have very little familiarity with NR at all.

Feel free to prove me wrong and build a cogent case, though.
 

Ok, thanks. Have a great evening.
 

Any article that starts out Science = Religion, is certain to be stupid RW garbage.

Any post by you is not to be taken seriously. Cool story, brah.
 
Apparently "hard right" is simply your term for anyone who says something you disagree with.

Hey, I was ready to wish you a nice evening and call it a night. If you want to keep baiting me I'm going to respond in kind.

I really think the line between "hard" or "far" right or left is mythical. It is like Bigfoot, lots of people claim to see it, but in different places, and it looks different to each of them.
 

What scientific facts does he cite as examples that the left ignores? The fact that one idiot said we should ignore global warming even if the temperature rises by 7 degrees F? Lol! We shouldn't blindly risk the planetary balance, "one planet, one experiment," let alone intentionally jeopardizing it.

The only examples i can see are here:


Those examples are pathetic. The last one underpins a fundamental misunderstanding of the science involving sex.

And of course the author couldn't resist Godwin:

The Nazis were famously pro-science, declaring that science itself mandated the killing of the “unfit” for the strengthening of the race; their racism was supposedly scientific.

Ugh. Just a terrible, partisan article. The irony is that it has so little basis in reality that it requires its own leap of faith.

Or you could demonstrate that you know a thing about NR, but you don't.

There's some subjectivity to it, but not so much as to make it mythical.
 
Quote me when you're actually interested in discussing the article, k?

We'll quote you when you give your opinion. Till then, you come off as just another garden variety nut.

Tootles!

Who are you to talk about another poster being taken seriously, Harshaw? How sweet of you to think you are coming to Josie's rescue .

The same has been said to you throughout your disengenuous thread? Do you teach ID ?
 

I don't see that the author referred to transgendered persons. Can you quote it?

EDIT: Found it thanks to Absent's quote up there:

Wondering how it is that a genetic male is actually a woman? You’re worrying about science, not Science™!

There are numerous threads on the topic in which CC explains the science behind transgender. You can go look for yourself. But there is science behind it and I don't want to derail the thread in any case. Because the author doesn't believe the research, doesn't mean it isn't so.

Which is really is gripe.

No, that's not what he was saying, spuddy. He's saying that some liberals believe things that aren't backed up by science, but they still claim that it's science. Hence, the cheeky "TM" notation.


These are questions of definition, not of science. He's angry liberals use a different definition of humanity and gender to him. He's not questioning the basis of their definition. Likewise:


He doesn't agree with liberal policy, he specifically states that "even if you accept" the science, he doesn't like big government. That's nothing to do with the science of global warming, it's the liberal response he disagrees with.

I don't recall mentioning Josie.

Except that's not what he was saying. Science is science. Science(tm) is his tongue-in-cheek name for what some people on the left believe - beliefs that aren't grounded in scientific fact or evidence at all -- they just believe it because they want to believe it.

You didn't have to! Again, who are you to talk about another poster being taken seriously? Do you think your longevity and lean give you special privileges on DP ?

I don't read this as him being angry at all. Just matter-of-fact. I agree that he's saying that liberals have a different definition -- that's his whole point.

He doesn't agree with liberal policy, he specifically states that "even if you accept" the science, he doesn't like big government. That's nothing to do with the science of global warming, it's the liberal response he disagrees with.

Agreed.
