5. Religious conspiracy site?
6. ??
Perhaps you misunderstood what was meant by 'scientific body or institution'. It's not a lobby group set up to fight climate science, or a group of conspiracy nuts. To give you an example, here's a list of dozens of scientific bodies/institutions worldwide, and many of their statements on climate change: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change#Conc
urring
Also note that many of these bodies are not funded by governments, and those that are, generally aren't funded for their views on climate change.
It's not personal. It's just war.
It's interesting to look at that website, a very comprehensive list of renowned scientific institutions from across the world from a multitude of disciplines vs a few conspiracy theory sites, and organisations funded by the petrochemical and mining industries.
I see what consensus looks like.

All that proves, if it is indeed true, is that there isn't a scientific body or institution that disputes the theory of man-made climate change.
It doesn't prove that these institutions are CORRECT in supporting the theory of man-made climate change.
History of science is replete with examples of scientific institutions being incorrect in the theories they have supported.

CTS: nice contribution. Some ditz will follow with a question of any one example of science history - so try that whole "flat Earth" fabrication put forth by all the scientific institutions of the time. EVERYBODY knew it was true, including all scientists. (anybody who didn't think it was true was, like, decaptiated for, like, heresy)
That was one example.
Another is dactyloscopy. Proven over and over again by scientists to have no basis in reality, no factual support, and decried by police departments worldwide as unreliable, unsubstantiated, and understood by all to be completely fictitious. Even Hoss on Bonanza knew enough to disprove all the scientists, in one episode.

When asked, Rappy doesn't care to hazard a guess at what the Supremes might decide on DOMA and/or Prop 8, but worries that it will lead directly to dogs marrying horses, or something.
"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero
"I was wrong" - Hero, 2012
Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"
Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."
Guessing what the SCOTUS will vote? That is a lame entry to this dategory.

I don't readily recall AURaptor asking for "cites" here. Can you cite?
Can you read? Because no such claim was made.
Fuckin' wingnuts, man. READ.

I would too. But they won't do it - because we'd actually do our best to address them - and then they wouldn't be able to claim (falsely, but whatever) that we won't have "honest discussion."
But come on, righties - prove us wrong, I DARE YOU.
(of course, they're too scared to even enter the thread, so the challenge will likely go unseen.)
"Goram it kid, let's frak this thing and go home! Engage!"
Since ol' socky resurrected this thread, Ill point out with glee that none of these hucksters ever managed to ever put up.

Are you unable to read English?
"Whining about cites" is akin to "asking for cites" nitwit.
Or is your delusion filtering into a different reading failure?

Why, according to you, does Magons, 'need to get laid'? Why are you making assumptions about the length of time since she last had sex, and what does it have to do with what she posted?
It's not personal. It's just war.
The old saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away, an orgasm a day keeps the shrink away" goes a long way. Getting laid helps you people keep your crazy in the closet.
How clueless must you really be to not understnad the basest of human needs?

"What do you think? Has Obama done much to turn black people against white people, or vice-versa? If so what exactly has he done?"
He calls it a "Have you stopped beating your wife?" question.
Are you admitting that a question that you can't answer is Have you stopped beating your wife?

Are you again confused about what you said, how your strawman argument failed right out of the gate? RapKnight did not say that - he was pointing out the redefining of marriage that you so blindly drone on about.

Lol, I forgot about this incident. Oh Auraptor.

That's an easy question to answer. First off, I don't have a wife. Second, if I did I certainly wouldn't beat her, so you clearly have ALL your facts wrong... etc. etc.
See?
It's not personal. It's just war.
