  1. Troy you believe in climate change because the information from scientist tell you it is true. Yiu think me irrational because i disagree with 97% of climate scientist. I dont believe them for the following reasons. I looked at close to 300 years of data. I actually had to read a bit about the different types of temperature measurements. I looked at the models. None are good at prediction. I looked at their statements. One is unscientific the other is deceptive. And finally i followed the flow of money of climate change foundations. I posted procon.org so you could look at both sides. Information is skewed you know that from selling books. Yet you accept what you are feed. I have said, what i say on every issue, think for yourself but act sensibly. I have never said someone's opinion is ridiculous or even wrong. I just try to add a differrnt perspective to reasobing or rational people. Belittling K2 doesn't strengthen your argument. It denonstrates that your arguments needs support. Trump is a Black Swan a catastrophic event that happens very infrequently it is the GFC of social political reason.
  2. Why not read some of the pros and cons and try thinking.
  3. Completely wrong.? The chart is from the CDC @Troy
  4. Troy if someone disagrees with you you tend to say they dont understand. I have seen you say this to Mel as well. However i could be projecting or you could be mistaken. We shall see
  5. "If you think you know a lot about something, even though you don't, you're less likely to be curious enough to explore the topic further, and will fail to learn how little you know," you use a crazy theory to make a correct prediction a couple of times, you can get stuck in that belief and may not be as interested in gathering more information," Compare the group behind this site and procon.org and tell me what you think @Troy
  6. Manafort is going to cooperate with more than one investigation. Trump is also starting a trade war. You should note that quite a few news articles are informational not political analysis. Once again you are missing the point. I said that i am not a Trump supporter. I ssid he would most likely bevine president in the primaries and he wouldn't finish his term. I initially thought he would be out by both March then July. Then changed it to you would see a definite shift in July. Yes I would like to be right how many times do you want your position to be wrong.
  7. @Troy i just want to remind this is am astrological prediction. I have ave been saying he wont finish his term since March. I cant think if anyone who could rationally see that happening. I have said to you over time you will converge to my position. I am wondering if you will be astute enough to see his demise when it is already obvious. The public tude is also turning. I guess that's the difference between us i cam look past my feelings about a matter. I am not a Trump supporter. In the primarues I said I thought he would win. That was a minority position he and amongst astrologers. I them said he wouldn't finish his term and that March was the beginning of the end. Once again i was in the minority. I don't think you can find anyone that called his Presidency and his mot finishing his term. I may be wrong about the when but not the what. I will leave the analysis of why to all the Monday Morning Quarterbacks. That are good with details after the events are over. I will take position that are formed by both reason and intuition.
  8. @Troy I can recognise the advantages of being a white male but still not want to be one. Black people are invisible in history and the culture. Still i don't want to be a anyone else. However being a colour you have to fight to even be heard. Up through high school history Black people were only slaves. It's difficult discussing topics with you at times because you can be a bit polarised and you have a hard time believing my statements when my position diverges from yours. You have done this with Cynique about her position on politics. You said why doesn't she care. She asked you what are you doing besides being upset.
  9. @Troy@Troy Let's see the leading cause of death for bkack males is homicide.
  10. You have a lot of confidence for a guy that's not reading the news. I'll leavr yiu in your bubble.
  11. @Troyyou ask a question after I have answered. The difference between being black vs white in America is that bkack people werre persistent in living. They were suppose to go the way if the buffalo.
  12. Paul Manafort is also cuting a deal, with the Special Counsel. I guess you will only realise its over for Trump when he is out of office.
  13. x@Troy if you drove an expensive car into Alabama found the lowest class white person and insulted them, would your class protect you? Class like race is a construct unlike countries that have royalty. Its all about divide and conquer. No amount of money will white wash dark complexion. If yiu5 believe that to be true then we had better put you on the endangered species list. Wealth can bend justice but not if you're black. Look at how Michelle Obama was treated versus Melania Trump. I had a look at different Mark Knight cartoon. He doesn't seem to draw blacks realistically. Also the comment can you just let her isn't ralky about Serena's perception of unfairness. There was an invudent about 10 years ago when Harry Connickj was judging Hey Hey Saturday. When a group cane out doing yhe Jackson 5 in black face. Some Australians didn't se a problem. Even though Connick said this would be a big problem in the US
  14. The last shooting of Black man by a cop. The cop knocked on the door and shot him. White murderers don't get shot or killed. You sound like you live in a different America than the one everyone else knows.

  16. Troy you are right but also wrong. Who is defending poor whites Donald J Trump nominally while they get pick pocketed. Master overseer slave it still works. Actually his message is for disenfranchised whit's who are more concerned with maintain their perceived superiority than fairness justice or liberty for all.
  17. The hits keep comin from down unda
  18. Apparently not all scientist say climate change is an incontrovertible fact. https://www.smh.com.au/environment/weather/massive-damage-monster-storms-to-slam-into-east-coasts-of-us-china-20180912-p503a5.html
  19. @Troy if a rich black women Trump a poorer white man. We would not be discussing the cartoon. White privilege Trumps money. That's the point.
  20. The pecking order white male white female black male black female. The White Male is the main character in history and culture, everyone else has varying levels of invisibility. You can also add sexual orientation and cultural/country to the mix. Gay white men would be situated between straight white men and straight whute women. So men talk down to women and whites talk down to blacks. So the more powerf you have the easier it is us to dismiss those below you or simply not validate their existence. Even insults are asymptomatic
  21. This article discusses both sides. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-12/serena-williams-herald-sun-republishes-mark-knight-cartoon/10235886?pfmredir=sm #Troy I haven't seen the match. The paper deactivated his Twitter account. The paper defended him reprinted the cartoon on their front page. They will sell a lot of papers and he is famous or infamous depending on your politics.
  22. Due to the Blacklash he has decided not to do any more cartoons about race. Just stated his wife and children are being incinerated on social media. He drew Naomi lighter than the umpire. Also the umpires in the cartoon ask Naomi can you just let her win. The other issue is that Serena was about to tie Australian Margaret Court record for wins, which may be a factor.
  23. Don't gorillas make the same movement.
  24. When i checked yesterday there were about 2300 reactions on Mark Knight's Facebook page 2/3 were supportive. Two friends thought it was a fair cartoon.
