Quote from: underclass
For those of you in America, here is what most of the western world knows about your politics... you have a black man in the white house trying to fix healthcare, which is going nowhere because all of a sudden everyone else has a way better way to fix healthcare despite it being a basket case for the last 30 years. You're in two wars you won't win, which will bankrupt you as you try to compete with China economically, which you also can't win because people have less rights and they aren't fighting two wars. Sarah Palin is loathed by every single rational person in the free world. Conan is the governer of California, which is also broke, along with all of your banks. People can't get abortions in some places but can marry their gay partner in others. End.

This is how it reads for the God fearin' 'mericans...

"For those of you in America, here is what you know about your politics... you have a illegitimate non US citizen niggerman in the white house trying to destroy democracy. You're in two wars doing God's work slaughtering the infidel, as our Manifest destiny says we will rule the world. Sarah Palin is the most rational person in the free world. The Governator is the governer of California, which is also full of queers, but he'll sort them out. People can't get abortions because it's an affront to God, but can marry their sister in others, which all good God fearing 'mericans approve of. God Bless 'merica."

I just have no faith in anything Bill Bryson puts to paper. He's been proven a liar.

This may be true, but at least he's a hell of a lot more entertaining than Michael Moore.

Entertaining, yes. Truth by percentage I'd still go with Moore.

Apparently 1% of the static on a tv channel with nothing on is from the Big Bang.

What you're talking about must be the CMB, and I don't think it's something that's able to affect terrestrial broadcasts even at 1%.

Also, the move to digital (ATSC) transmissions will eventually eliminate our ability to glimpse that potential remainder of the early universe, anyway.

Blah blah blah nothing has been proven, it's a theory, so you're arguing nothing. Static is an empty frequency.

big bang = theory
cosmic microwave background radiation = measurable

OK fine, but drawing a straight line directly connecting one to one to the other, as Jai says Bryson has, is fallacy.

I don't know about this Bryson dude, but I do know fallacies.

In fact, oops - it looks like what you're doing here is actually called "Argument from Ignorance".  eek!

Note: I'm not defending the existence or non-existence of the Big Bang as a universal origin.  I just want to see fallacies treated well.

Loaded-Gun.com - I don't know what the hell they are talking about or why they are even there. They don't make serious points and they don't joke, but they still manage to make a lot of posts somehow.

Is there an unwritten rule I'm missing about their names and alliteration?



Re: I think my fever just broke Reply #41 on: September 24, 2009, 04:09:26 PM
No, just that they both have a tendency to stretch the truth in the name of entertainment.
