Amazing how you can remove words from a quote and change the context. "Some sort of" was missing, and of course, that would make it less shocking and heinous. Oh, and the flat earthers definitely persecuted the round earthers, or did you miss that part of the Catholic inquisition?

Which is why I put in the actual link to the quote. It's still shocking that a pro-GW wants to treat non-believers like war criminals.<br><br>And, if you carefully re-read what I said, I was talking about ROUND-earthers persecuting FLAT-earthers TODAY, not the other way 'round and, what, six hundred years ago? TODAY, are ROUND-eathers suggesting that FLAT-earthers be subjected to "some sort of Nuremberg" for their beliefs? We already have a group of extremists that are doing just that - beheading those who do not believe as they do.

Smed, as soon as you live in multi-unit housing, become a single-car-owning houshold, and drive less than five thousand miles a year to show how committed you are to saving the planet, you constant chest beating about the global warming theory might hold some sort of weight. The global warming theories exist ONLY in computers, and ONLY based on data that's been tampered with. Oh, and you know what else? If you throw rocks at the full moon for fourteen days, it will disappear!

If you want to talk about "shocking and heinous" you need go no further than Al Gore. Let's see, the guy IS intelligent, and no doubt can analyze the actual scientific data, yet he is a prophet for man-made global warming, which has been completely debunked over and over again by legitimate science. Why, one may ask, would an intelligent man continue to pretend that the BS he's slinging is the word of god? Simple: for the money -- regardless of the outcome; regardless of who gets hurt; regardless of the cost in lives both human and otherwise and resources that it will take to undo the damage. THAT's shocking and heinous to anyone who has a basic understanding of the difference between right and wrong. Oh, pardon me. Religious zealots don't have an understanding of the difference between right and wrong.

John and Dave, as you can see above, Smed didn't actually argue the issue. He just poisoned the well. It's an old high school debate tactic, which for some reason I thought he'd be able to resist resorting to in place of intelligent discourse. Oh, well.
