Thought you'd like this... Here's an excellent article by acclaimed writer and journalist George Monbiot on the business of denial and manufacturing doubt and dissent about climate change. Kinda pulls back the curtain on the denial industry and what powers it, why and how. From that, I found...

Yes, that was the appropriate use (score/situation/inning/hitter/runner) of a sacrifice. But I still am against the use of them in most instances... because at the end of the day, you still have to get a clutch hit to drive in the run! Thomas apparently tweaked something (his already-hurting...

Another great outing by Doc. Luckily this time it didn't go to waste... thanks to a huge clutch hit by Rios! (Does that mean he's finally coming around? I hope so.) I'd just like to add that BJ's going to give me a heart attack one of these days. I'm sure that's how closers had the nickname...

Next time, instead of wasting time and bandwidth, you could just provide the link... ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_opposing_the_mainstream_scientific_assessment_of_global_warming

When did the Sports forum turn into... ... the politics area? Easy there big fella. Just because you may disagree with someone, doesn't make them ignorant. Try and keep it somewhat civil... or this place will turn into politics light! :D

I wasn't commenting on your opinion, just Cruyff's quote. Having read the interview he straight-up said said Ronaldo is better. We can only speculate what he meant. Like I said, Cruyff's a bit of an ass and his massive ego was always threatened by the accolades that Best received. I think...

I'm all for taking better control of the game and weeding out the "goons." That was part of the reason the professional foul was introduced. I'm in favour of the use of more cards or better yet, a penalty-box situation like rugby or hockey. Make a team play with 10 men (or less) for 10 minutes...

Johan Cryuff was a great player, but he's an idiot. I won't get into his egomaniacal ways or abrasive personality out of respect to this thread... George Best in his prime was one of the five greatest footballers of all time. He could literally do it all. That is, before he let the drink and...

Just as I suspected, more noise but no answers. You have yet to provide a shred of proof to back up what you state. Proof please. Show me a list of thousands of full-on climate change skeptics that are also even somewhat credible scientists without an agenda. What are we debating at this...

Of course the diving. But also the constant yapping to the officials, trying to turn fouls into cards, etc. I really like and respect Cristiano Ronaldo the player - he's the best, most consistent in-form player in the world right now - but he needs to leave the histrionics at home. I know I'm...

How about you provide some wide-ranging and peer-reviewed PROOF that these pseudo-scientists are credible? This is exactly what the anti-climate change forces do all the time - provide one voice as opposition to hundreds and then claim that they should have an equal voice. That is bogus science...

From White Hunter, Black Heart - I provided the whole scene for context: MARGARET: I'm not keen on London. I had to live there during the war and I got awfully fed up with it. WILSON: Well I rather enjoyed it during the war. The people behaved so magnificently. MARGARET: Well they didn't all...

The Lakers jumped out to a fast start and outplayed the Spurs for the first half of the first quarter. After that, the play was even until the Spurs took over down the stretch. The other problem with the Spurs is that they are getting no production out of the PF/C spot that plays off Duncan or...

^^^ Nah, it would be much easier to just go on blaming women... self-awareness, introspection and changing behaviour is too hard. :cool:

LOL! Doesn't Denmark have a monarchy? And aren't all monarchies parasitic by nature? :cool:

Now it's going to get ugly for an extended period of time as the squabbling for control takes place... :(

The same holds true for all the Spurs' big 3 - plus Bowen. Which makes their extended run of excellence all the more impressive. LOL! They can't start games in the afternoon out West just because old guys like you want to watch the game at 7pm on the East coast! :)

What lesson? Oh right, the one where you use the term "global warming" when I (and most of the world's scientific community) was talking about climate change... meaning different areas are affected differently (hot or cold) by the change in the Earth's climate. :rolleyes: Now, I can go and...

Were you even watching the game? Outplayed all game long? How about for the first five minutes only. The Spurs attacked the basket much more than the Lakers and outplayed them down the stretch. It was a terrible non-call - the worst that I can ever remember in fact. Just so you know, I think...

Sacrilege. Let's wait until he actually does something (as in take over a game and will his team to win almost single-handedly) in an international tournament before we start anointing him or holding him up against the greatest of all time (Pele, Maradonna, Puskas, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Zidane...
