Words are more useful if they have accepted meanings. Some words used in politics, like Liberal, should be retired.
Once upon a time, in a far off land, the words Gentleman and Lady had meanings different from today. Gentlemen were males privy to the very person of the King; ladies were females privy to the very person of the Queen.…

Bingo, Pablo!
Finally found something on which we agree - planets warming and the reason therefor.
BTW, couldn't get links 2 & 3 to work, but #1 was enough for me....

Pablo, since your and Clavos' credentials are apparently the only valid ones on this website, I'm left to assert that as in the Bible and the world wide web, anyone can find any number of references to prove any point pro and con of any issue.
There for I'm orced to quote Simon and Garfunkle once again...
...a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest..."
sigh

1. Garfunkel.
2. It is of course quite possible that both solar activity AND human pollution could be factors in the Earth's warming.

"It is of course quite possible that both solar activity AND human pollution could be factors in the Earth's warming."
Nah. :>)

On second thought, maybe in California...
81 - Dr Dreadful
In my particular part of California, it's a combination of vehicle exhausts, cow farts, pesticides, the utterances of the local politicians and a more or less permanent inversion layer over the Valley.

Clavos,
The linnks work for me. Well I think it was the law of probability that we would finally come across an issue on which we both basically agree.
Jet,
Nice response, educated too.

Dear God no..... not that!

To bend, but not to break,

"So now Baronius is an expert on the bin Laden family."
Thanks, Pablo, but no I'm not. I just read. I've found that the quantity of reading is important, but so is quality and variety. It's good to read things outside your comfort zone.
86 - Pablo
Baronius,
Now that is truly funny! Perhaps you could tell me what in fact you have read outside of YOUR comfort zone regarding 9/11 the CFR, Skull and Bones or the Bilderbergs, I am all ears Baronius. LOL
87 - Baronius
Aw, Pablo, I don't go for much readin' or book learnin', but sometimes I whittles the future...
88 - Pablo
Baronius,
I can tell.

Baronius, I believe the answer to your earlier question about which conspiracies Pablo believed in is - no, there are no conspiracies he does not believe in.
And Pablo did you really say:
Regarding Coast to Coast with George Noory. It is the second highest listened to show in the country.
Did fairies give you that data? According to Talkers Magazine the top 10 rated radio shows (in order) are:
Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Michael Savage
Laura Schlessinger
Glenn Beck
Laura Ingraham
Mark Levin
Neal Boortz
Dave Ramsey
Mike Gallagher
Further perusal shows that Coast to Coast and Alex Jones don't even break the top 30.
Maybe the folks who rate radio shows based on how many listeners they have are all part of a great conspiracy to keep us from knowing about all of their secret listeners. Or maybe only a small kook fringe listens to Alex Jones and George Noory - hell most of America is asleep when Noory is on.

To Dave, Baronius, clavos, Ruvy etc. I will be here, but in the backround reading as much as I can. Both eyes hemorraged again and I spent all day at universidy eye clinic. I have so muchy bllod iside the spheres of my eyes that itts nearly impossible to see.
The say that It should clear up with some drops they gave me, but to read this screan I have to blow the font up so big that I can only see three or four words from side to sied on the screan, and replying is even a harder task (especially if I lose the home keys on the keyboard)
PLEASE NOT i'M IN THE BACKROUND reading and I'm very much a fan of all of you, but I won't be able to respond directly to you directed at me.
your friend

Dave,
As usual you can only spit out invectives. Suprise suprise, keep em comin bubba.
92 - Jet in Columbus
howard stern blew the away before going to serius, god I miss him
I'm gong to teach you all how to respond in as few words a possible, amybe we cn dispose with the thousand sord essasys and get trstraight to the point heere
Gads, throyuw your eyes out of focus, and then try to find the curser on your screen.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhS!!!!
93 - Jet in Columbus
pablo, judgemental remarks and highhanded attitued make for louse converstationns, especially with somene of Dave's intellect, I know from experience.
Try experessing what you AGREE with instead of always trying to put down ghis point of view (not that I agree with it). You'll find that a little respect and thoughtufllnesss goes a long w3ay a long way further than "I'm right and you're wrong".
I'm glad I can't see my typos :_
94 - Clavos
"As usual you can only spit out invectives."
Wrong.
He gave you actual, definitive data to refute your audience claim for Coast to Coast.
With an authoritative citation.
95 - Dr Dreadful
Jet, have you thought about getting some voice recognition software?
It can certainly help you with your typing, and some programs can even read back to you what appears on the screen.
The problem is, of course, that you have to read to it for a while so that it can build your voice files...
Just a thought. :-)

Thanks Doc, but unfortunately I was in the process of moving everything into my new home office and the speakers hand made the trip yet, nor my head phones. Then there's the little matter of to find the items needed on a menu, I have to try to read the fine print on the screen to activate the larger print (sigh) I've managed to activate Window's magnifyer program, but the pop up box it occupies blocks a lot of the menues, no matter where I position it (sigh)(groan) which causes a lot of cussing.

Of even GREATER issue with BC is the lag time between hitting publish. Since I cant see the progress meter on the bottom of the screeen, I can't tell if I actually it publish or not.
I've been taking it on faith, so I dont publish every comment three or four times-whick I really wish others would doo.
at times it can be up to a minute or more!!

Pablo - I listened to Coast to Coast AM last night. According to the guest, the Americas were explored and colonized by the Africans, Viking giants, Egyptians, Jews, Polynesians, Japanese, Hindus, Romans, and maybe spacemen. The Smithsonian conspired to hide all the evidence of Viking giants in California.
The guest made a reference to fringe archaeologists like himself. I'll give him credit for that: he recognized that he's on the fringe. I'm sure the guy has read more archaeology than I have. But he showed no discrimination. It reminds me of the line from Spinal Tap, "I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything."
I wanted to take one more stab at this, Pablo, maybe just because the boards have been slow the past couple of days. Please give me something off the beaten path that you disagree with, or at least some mainstream theory that you believe. What speculation have you read and disbelieved? It's fun to have you on the boards, but you'd be more credible if you could demonstrate any thinking that corresponds with the norm. (And this is Blogcritics, where the "norm" covers a lot of ground.)

Baronius!
All this time, and I had no idea you were a masochist!!
100 - Baronius
I suppose so. I spent quite a while trying to talk peaceably with a bird who used to post here. Anyway, Clavos, I've noticed that the angriest commenters eventually unload on you. You're no more fitting a target than any of us; you just always seem to be on security duty when Kirk decides to beam down to the planet. So what do I care? I'm not wearing the red uniform.

Re: paragraph 1 Comment 98... What; no drag queens?
102 - Jet in Columbus
Not even a heathen?
103 - Baronius
Jet - They were Viking giants in men's wear. Giant Viking drag queens would be just crazy.
104 - Jet in Columbus
Somehow I can't picture Clavos in red... but then again I can't immatine Baronius in leather masocist drag either.....
...thank god
105 - Dr Dreadful
Giant Viking Drag Queens would be a great name for a band. (©)
106 - Clavos
Did I ever tell you guys about Kajsa, my third cousin on my father's (Viking) side?
(S)he headlines a great show in a little club in SoBe...:>)
107 - Jet in Columbus
I KNEW I shouldn't have start that... but nooooooooo
108 - Jet in Columbus
Clavos, I think my next-door-neighbor's cousin's hairdresser knows his brother's wife... from what I understand, they're very close
109 - Clavos
I'm almost afraid to ask...close to what??
