bee Posted November 9, 2016 #103 Share Posted November 9, 2016 . it's hilarious and sad how people are scared and terrified about Trump winning - they really must break free of the indoctrination - I was disappointed that Stevie Wonder didn't seem at all bothered about what Clinton has been up to in the middle East and how she was recklessly pushing towards a serious conflict with Russia - there's a real disconnect with it all :/ . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention that. yesterday I posted on one of the threads an email Brian Dunning of Skeptoid received from a guy who actually viewed the BF film in Yakima WA, in 1967, with his father. Paterson was asking for investors and his Dad said no. Anyway, today I get this mass-email from Dunning: Hello Mike - For many, yesterday's election was a stunner. Whatever your thoughts on its social or economic implications, my wheelhouse is its ramifications for the public understanding of science. From the election results, we can infer that about half the American population is (at worst) openly hostile to, or (at best) ignorant or dismissive of, these science facts: Anthropogenic global warming is real and a threat. Vaccines are important and do not cause autism. Gay conversion therapy does not work. Evolution is the scientific theory explaining the diversity of species. In short, we have a crisis in the public appreciation of science, perhaps more than we knew. Last night I tweeted: This will be the most openly antiscience administration ever. Don't fret, fight. The world needs us to redouble our efforts I couldn't believe he thinks that half the voting population believes this stuff. I wrote him back and politely clled him aan arrogant close minded moron and unsubscribed. FWIW, he was asking for money but has just gotten out of jail for wire fraud.

I want to know! dunno - but she and Obama were trying to appeal to the reptilian part of the brain of their audience when they kept repeating over and over the key insult words about Trump, I think - I believe they had been coached to do it and that's probably why the most gullible / vulnerable supporters are now scared and stressed - - . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is an unknown quantity. He's never been a politician before and knowing what is deliverable and what is not will be one of his biggest challenges imo. Will he be able to compromise and push a realistic agenda will be something that will either break him or make him a great president. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrote back with this: Fair enough, I guess my wording was not as equivocal as it could have been. It would be more accurate to say that those issues are not as important as others -- which is certainly the case. I have no idea what he means as I had written, in a rush: What stupid things to think! How arrogant and ignorant of you to make such bizarre, close minded assumptions about a broad swath of the population. Maybe we were just sick of ten trillion in additional debt, a corrupted DoJ, 14% real unemployment, the worst recovery from a recession in US history and the worst GDP growth over 8 years of any president and your candidate of choice promising four more years of it. So either he thinks his four subjects are more important than mine me or vice versa. I didn't write back as this was the final straw, I gave him the benefit when he went to jail for fraud, thereby embarrassing the skeptic community, and now he posts this stupid email. To each his own, hope the half he didn't insult fills his pockets. Edited November 9, 2016 by Merc14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL the best way to hide a lie is between 2 trues, global warming aka climate change is indeed real, but it is natural, vaccines are important, but some evidence of them contributing to few cases of autism exist. gay therapy does not work, it is a disorder, but not a health or life threat, so no need for therapy. evolution is not proven. the "missing link" is not found., Edited November 9, 2016 by aztek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what lies ahead for us, but I hope that whatever it is, your lives will be all the better for it. Thank you for that, Clair. I won't exactly say I'm happy with our choice but I am VERY, VERY relieved that HRC is not the president-elect. I think that electing a person with so much obvious legal and ethical baggage would have been a severe detriment to our system of laws going forward. Lawlessness at high levels in government will destroy a nation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had practically the same issue 8 years ago when we had a president that had almost no experience. Seems like the voters prefer a president with little to no experience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting my tinfoil hat on for a second i believe that the last two presidential choices have been selected by the powers that be for exactly that reason. Trump and Obama provide fresh faces with the promise of change. Regardless of what you think of Obama if you get past the partison rhetoric he really didnt change anything, the direction of the nation didnt change, every one of his policies are simply adding on to or completing the path this nation was put on by Bush , Clinton and Reagan. I said it in other threads (and i genuinely hope im wrong) but I believe Trump is the republicans Obama : A fresh face to distract the voters and who keeps them buying into the system for just a little while longer.

I had a suspicion that too many of the polls might be trying to shape opinion, rather than analyze it. Sounds like BREXIT to me. The thing that puzzled me, though, was that even more Conservative leaning polls mostly corroborated the numbers. Only one called it for Trump and I cannot remember the name now. Possibly Rasmussen, not sure. Whichever organization it was, just got great press and will be able to convert that into more earnings. Good on 'em!

America and Australia two mates down the pub having a beer.. some lout starts trouble America jumps up and says that's not right.. and like a aussie.. Australia jumps into the fray cause America is his mate.. Korea.. Nam.. Iraq.. those 3 we had no business getting into they were wars that should not have happened... all 3 times we followed America's lead.. instead of going 'Mate.. seriously you have to much to drink lets get you home' now Afganistan.. oh hell yes.. full support our involvement in that one.. no actually your wrong there Merc.. I don't like the idea of America going into decline.. why would I? I've got a number of friends over there.. hell I grew up on American tv.. I say Zee instead of the proper Zed.. John Wayne is still the greatest actor (actually he would have made a brilliant president) I admired America going up.. it seems like the best place in the world.. very forward.. then as the years passed.. I saw it start to decline.. it went from saying and being the best country in the world.. you showed it time and time again through the 40's to the late 70's.. then it started to falter.. now your saying it and not really showing it.. and that to me is very sad.. when I was finishing high school I was looking at becoming a astronomer and if I did I would have ended up working over there because at the time there was no openings here.. I respect your opinion of my country, that is your right. I think most Americans over 40 respect the sacrifices made by our allies in those conflicts but I also think that characterizing the WORLD as being created by US policy, yet only speaking of the negatives of our efforts, is somewhat short-sighted, even a bit petty. As to the complaint about following us into conflict, the answer is to demand different from your lawmakers/representatives, just as the UK parliament did a couple years back.

Cynical1 Posted November 9, 2016 #123 Share Posted November 9, 2016 When the US was in its infancy, the founders never intended for political office to be a career for anyone. They wanted everyone to have a chance in the process. Trump may not be the best suited for the presidency, but is certainly better than the alternative. To be elected with virtually no help from the party you supposedly represent is incredible. Guess the majority of the population found the type of leadership currently in place to be deplorable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
