Wouldn't it be liberal science? Since it's wrong and pushing an agenda?

True.

True.

Seriously though, I would like to know why that is. If I can't trust a simple TOI stat how can I trust the rest? For players I know well it's fine, but for players I'm not familiar with that really throws me for a loop.

Also, (frank) Crosby that interfering mother(frank)er, (frank) the Pens, (frank) the NHL for shutting down honest thieves and for stealing a goal from the Preds.


That is all.

Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam are better.
- RafiDRW

I have seen Pearl Jam in concert a bunch of times, I own all their records and a lot rare-ish cd singles and live albums and they were my favorite band probably from grade five to well into adulthood.

I also have the entire Pink Floyd library and used to love them too. But music like this just bores the hell out of me now. I put Vitalogy on the other day and it was the first time probably in a couple years I'd put on a Pearl Jame record.

Classic rock just doesn't interest me any more, it's not that I don't like it , but almost everything that used to be my favorite is boring to me now.

Bob Dylan doesn't ever get old though.

Listen to more Between the Buried and Me

Yeah, it doesn't help really, because they, through a flawed system, got us to where we are now. Because the moderates never said "stop, you're being bumholes", because they're so power hungry they'll do just about anything to keep it including totally selling out their party to fanatics.

The mistake, and I am the most guilty person for this, possibly on earth, but the mistake is to be condescending and to treat the low-information opinionated fanatic like they're not as good as you are because you're all fancied up with book-learning.

There is a serious problem with anti-intellectualism which leads to a lack of trust in institutions in general. This is almost entirely the fault of smart people, who, by and large, are superior a holes.

So instead of being Richards, maybe we should just advocate the following:

- it's ok to be wrong
- its ok to change your mind
- not everything is a conspiracy
- the need to understand and recognize false comparisons
- its better to get the right answer than to be the one who is right
- asking for help is encouraged
- reading novels
- using your phone less
- question everything

If everyone wrote that down and kept it on a piece of paper in their pocket we'd never have another Trump. Please put my Nobel Prize in the mail.

Do you have all those Pearl Jam CDs that they released in those super cheap paper cases that were concert recordings? I like them, but that was nothing but an unadulterated cash grab.

That's your assumption. And that's really sad. I would imagine 90% (probably more) of your readers had zero knowledge that in the 70's the idea of global "cooling" was just as prevalent as global "warming" is today. Just as much. The gloom and doom was exactly the same. I posted a site that referenced many of the articles, and some of the newscasts by prominent journalists at the time, but it's dismissed.

I have healthy skepticism. That's all Tanner. I'm hardly a "low information" fanatic. Actually quite the opposite. It's just I'm not willing to blindly accept "proven science" when that very same science was wrong 40 years ago. I think Trump is a buffoon. But I prefer a non politician buffoon whose made something of himself vs a career politician that will lie and deceive to get ahead. That's all. It was about Trump vs Hillary.

I wish your words were true. I'm as skeptical of them as I was of global cooling 40 years ago, and global warming today.

I'm just thankful that as a teenager when everybody was freaking out about the coming freeze I was asking questions. Wisdom had me asking how they can "predict" the weather 40 years in the future, yet can't get the local weather right past a couple days. I was never the follower.

Peace out.

Thanks to his litigious nature this is the biggest fallacy about Trump, first of all he came from money. His dad gave him several million dollars. You don't get to say "I made something of myself" when you get handed several million dollars with no strings attached. He's gone bankrupt more often than the Octomom and Chrysler put together. Several companies are paying him to stay the (frank) away from the business that he ran into the ground.

He couldn't make a casino work, a place where people literally come in and hand you money to play games so far rigged to you that it's impossible for anyone that's not cheating to beat you(other than Blackjack, the only truly beatable game that doesn't require cheating) and he failed miserably at. And shafted all the workers who actually built the damn place, but they're all under NDAs so they can't talk about it, thankfully some family members aren't and they told their stories.

I have a bunch. The band never made any money on those, it was strictly fan service. I can't imagine the record company did either considering production vs sales. IT was just a cool thing to do - record your whole tour and release 50 cds.

See the bit about false equivalencies. The global cooling thing was total BS and comparing it to today's real science is a joke. You sir, are wrong and propagating false information.

Questioning everything doesn't mean believe nothing.

Trump, the biggest liar in political history , isn't a lying politician - so there's that bit of wonky logic too. Not sure how anyone could vote for a guy who treats woman like he does. Disgusting.

I don't know if you've been duped by the 'side' you've chosen or are so desperate for confirmation that it's a liberal conspiracy you've convinced yourself the two are on the same level

There was no scientific consensus in the 70s of what you speak of. Nothing close to what it is today.
This myth was actually propagated not that long ago by republican politicians pushing THEIR agenda by espousing just what you have. And of course throwing the word "alarmist" out there for good measure

A professor In my faculty actually wrote some literature on the subject in a simple succinct manner, but I couldn't find it with a quick search.
But instead this rather long but detailed paper came up. A total debunk
