After hearing his plan for the white house it is clear that he is targeting the simple voters the religious voters. This group he is targeting can be labeled the fox news viewers the people that look at facts and data and dismiss them because it clashes with their faith. His speech sounded more like something you hear from one of those Mega-churches in the south with god being tossed every which way and "if you can imagine", which clearly they can because they think there is a god, heaven/hell a snake tricked a women to eat an apple ect... This could be harmful for the countries image, we look at the middle east and say shit about them for being craziest religious while here in the States a liked mind person just said he is running for President.
BombogenesisOk, so you should know that the warming of the earth overall between 2000-2013 was basically nil. Glad were on the same page when it comes to irrefutable facts, as I was an atmospheric science minor. Nice!
hallelujah! we're saved! if you think 13 years of negligible temperature change means climate change has stopped then you probably didn't show up for half the classes of your minor.
The referenced post has been removed.
I bet other countries just sit around and fucking laugh at us during election years, considering lots of potential candidates (thank fuck they didn't get far) were absolute blithering morons in the most recent elections.
We really have no one to blame but ourselves, though. Even with all their financial backings and donations, Its us, the Civilians, The great people of the United States that show up to voting booths every time and allow these dunces in office to run our cities and nation. Not to mention, we even give them tons of platforms and attention to share and spew their inane ideas, allowing them to acquire money/donations in order to run a campaign. We should just stop giving tards like Cruz the time of day, and let them go back to their irrelevant-ass small towns and states to work on cattle ordinances or some dumb shit.
The US isn't that bad of a place to live, its just unfortunate the dipshits outnumber everyone.
DobberOk, you guys can keep bitching while I have fun and ski everyday. I'm selfish and I don't care.
That is the burden we have to carry as informed Americans.
And frenchy. He is also a burden, but even worse because he (and his equally ill informed peers) are an active weight, he is an anchor on societal progress.

I suppose technically you're right. However, a 13 year long hiatus doesn't mean climate change has ended.other parts of climate change have continued nonstop, such as seas level rises and melting of the ice caps. During this time there have also been multiple records set for extreme surface temperatures. National Academy of Sciences has reported that there has been no pause in climate change. Pretty sure they know more than you and your minor. Also, if you look back over the decades, there have been several little "pauses" before, so it's no evidence for climate change being halted. This pause is very misleading and in no way means climate change isn't still happening at full force. Nice!

You're literally saying the same thing as me but the issue is you don't even realize it. It's weird.
All I was saying was if you're going to attack Cruz's statement, make sure it's actually factually inaccurate and you're talking out your ass. There are probably 1000 things he has said that are false yet people attacked something that has irrefutable truth behind it.
Do I think he's still a moron for being an all out denier? Yeah. Do I think he's a moron for saying the earths temperature has remained static for 15 years? Maybe his insinuation... Sure. But not the statement itself man. It's an accurate fact, like saying the earth is round. It'd backed up and accepted as truth by nearly everyone. Idk what more you can really say..:

Fucking grow a pair you sack of shit. You sound like a 70 year old woman. All you do is bitch about political this and political that. You honestly sound like the most boring human being alive. How many lame bumper stickers do you have on your prius?

Lol keep in mind how long humans have actually been recording the weather.
UglyboyIf you exclude the scientists being paid off by big oil companies. All scientists are in conclusion global warming exists. Why are you punching a brick wall?
Jumping to conclusions enough? I never even slightly implied that. All I'm saying is that humans have not been recording weather for that long. That is a fact.
VinnieFit's OK, I wouldn't expect him to be tough about the accuracy of 18-O measurements in grade school
Almost done with my first year of college and I'm not majoring in anything scientific so I won't end up taking many science classes. But I will have more under my belt than most people on this website.

i get your point, but he's using that fact as a reason for his denial.
NickyToorfor a few hundred years. thats plenty of time for "record highs" to mean a lot
If you believe the world is billions of years old, 100 years is literally nothing.
NickyToorits more accurate than the bible.
lol

milk_manIf you believe the world is billions of years old, 100 years is literally nothing.however, with modern science, we can look back hundreds of millions of years and we find that the pace at which the earth is heating up is not natural and is definitely man made.
lol
modern science uses actually proof and hard evidence. the bible is a 2000 year old book of stories written by a bunch of sheep herders, of which very few are true. Are you actually trying to say that some magical creature in the sky creating the world in six days and making the first human out of dirt is more accurate than modern science?
^^Not sure how the discussion became about this..
It's not an either or situation. I don't understand why everyone makes it seem like it is. If you believe the Bible it doesn't mean you have to completely put down science, and if you have faith in science you don't have to sweep the Bible under the rug completely

If you have "faith" in science, then you have to look at most parts of the bible as a bunch of fictional stories, not stuff that actually happened. Wasn't it the bible that caused you to deny science and believe the earth is 10000 years old as well as not believing in evolution?

To you and other delusional people sure. To people who understand science, that disproves Jewish people lived in Egypt. That proves the earth was never flooded. That proves dead people can't be brought back to life, and that proves virgins can't have babies. No it can't be both.
.frenchyNo.... I'm saying fuck the millions of illegal mexican immigrants that Obama wants to give amnesty to... You knew what I meant.fuk u m8
Obama only wants to give pardons to illegals that are the sole provider for a child. He's following international law. CROC, ever heard of it? Also America was built on immigration. Some illegal some not. Why do you think they call it the land of opportunity? Because anyone can go and make it for themselves.
Also illegals are a big force of the working population. So you tax them instead of letting them have everything. It's basic economics. Ted wants to make America great again? Start taxing the illegals. That's exactly what Obama is doing.
Lord_Byronguns should be illegal.
I fully disagree. And I'm liberal as shit.
If you live in the middle of bumfuck egypt Idaho, and you're not as badass as Ron Swanson, and you dont want to be attacked by bears or wolves or other murderous wildlife, then fuck yes, guns for sure.
But if you live in Flushing Queens or LoDo Denver or South LA or Central Miami, you don't exactly need a fucking AR15 in your apartment, buddy.

That said, I think the happy medium is to be a badass and use a bow and arrow instead of a gun. Guns are for wimps who can't handle drawing a bow, or figuring out how to throw knives and use hidden blade attacks like an assassin or even how to load a crossbow.
Besides, everyone expects you to be defending your house with a gun. NOBODY expects you to use the Home Alone approach. Get creative. Guns are weak.
cobra_commanderHey, look, its that time that comes around every-so-often when fuckheads on both sides threaten to leave the country, and somehow forget on their promise to leave if: Bush/Gore/Bush/Kerry/Obama/Macain/Obama/Romney/whosnext get fucking elected.
I mean, if it happens, it's as good a time as any for me to become an Ex-pat. Already have abroad plans in 2016 anyway.
cobra_commanderGood Bourbon is harder to come by outside our borders. I plan on drinking it long after Senator Cruz has departed American politics.
See I'm not such a fan of Bourbon... I'm more for making stirred dry martinis with lemon twists, or drinking scotch on the rocks. Both of which are amply found outside of 'murica. I would miss the absolute superior beer selection that the USA has to offer, however...
The rest of the world has absolutely nothing on the American craft brew explosion of the last decade or two.
Many prominent figures deny global warming not because they truly believe it to be false, but because to accept it would force them to change their ways.
This describes literally every climate change denier in congress. They all know it's true and that it's destroying the planet, but have too many ties to fossil fuels among other things. admitting it was real would mean massive changes for them and their selfishness prevents them from doing it.

American beer sucks. It's like water. Drink Australian beer. Then you'll taste real beer

dude imagine crossbow drivebys. So silent, can't trace the arrow, its genius.
DingoSeanI don't know how you can be such an outspokenly bigoted idiot. You must have no friends outside of the gun range and church.
I probably have more friends than you though.... That's just a dumb thing to say, but I don't expect much coming from you, to be honest.

Dude, the thing Ted Cruz said is exactly what you just pretty much admitted was right... All he said was the past 15 or so years the earth hasn't really warmed, so don't say he isn't right, omg your dad knows about this that means you must know everything there is about climate change!!!!
Soooo fucking funny that in every political thread on NS its 95% liberals. But half of the posters either A.) Cant vote yet or B.) aren't from the United States.... Hahahhaha.
