I think the comparison is appropriate. In reality it is a MYTH that the Bird does any such thing!
They lay their head close to the ground and it blends in with the sand. People look quick and make snap decisions and then the myth spreads. (Sort of like global warming.) But people continue to make the comparison as if it is valid. Yet you show your ignorance by doing so. Now that you know better do forth and sin no more. Is global climate change happening? Has been since the start of it all. Don't confuse science and ideology. You end up with ostrich comparisons that are wrong and make you look foolish.

The "head in the sand" phrase is common and has nothing to do with whether ostriches actually bury their heads in the sand or not. We all know what the concept means. And in the context of global warming it aptly describes the behavior of the deniers. (I know you don't like that term, but if you're going to refer to people who disagree with you as being ignorant, I guess I'll continue to use it.) |

Bob ignorance is an absence of information not name calling. Come on you know this sir. People can be ignorant of the facts and not be stupid, you know this. Please do not play that way.
Ignorance is not having another opinion Bob, it is not having information. Why do you want to take any opportunity to misinterpret what I say and turn it into an excuse to be mean? You KNOW what words mean Bob. You of all people know the difference. I just don't know why you seem so ready to jump to the worst possible conclusion and then immediately to confrontation. You are better than that. And I am not falling for it.

LOL.
You said the poor guy showed his ignorance because he cited a common metaphor to illustrate a point. Yes, I understand language very well. Words have connotations. For example, do you think it would be a good idea to start your hypnosis show by saying to the audience, "Before we begin, allow me to clear up your ignorance about hypnosis?" Or, would you say, "Before we begin I'd like to clear up some misconceptions about hypnosis?" Do you think that some people would think that the first example was a bit condescending and rude? You have gone on at some length about why you think the word "denier" is offensive name-calling. But if I just follow your example and cite the dictionary definition of "denier" it really just means "one who denies." But this is different, right? You could have just apologized for referring to the guy's "ignorance." Sadly, you decided to defend it. |

Why can you never acknowledge when you are doing the name calling? Why do you do that, Danny?

Hi Ron,
It's quite cold in much of Europe right now. Even if it wasn't, you still would have to prove that this summer's weather is out of the range of the usual variation in the "global climate." With fewer than 100 years of accurately recorded temperatures, and even those measurements representing only a tiny fraction of the earth's surface, you really have no idea what the earth's temperatures have been even over the past few thousand years. There is more than a little evidence that many parts of the world were considerably warmer during the Middle Ages than they are now, and somehow, the Renaissance managed to occur. I just don't see the AGW movement as anything other than a call for the industrial democracies to turn over all of the wealth they have created to third world kleptocracies and their creature, the U.N., and then dismantle the economies that make it possible for the planet to support the world's population. I don't think a hot summer is reason enough to do that, that's all. |

The case that man is the enemy is so weak and tenuous it does not warrant the war on mankind going any further, if there were any justice the case would be thrown out and the accussed set free.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Right you just want to fight.
First who said "nut cases"? Wasn't me. Then the names fly with heads in the sand and it wasn't me again. I point out how it was they are wrong and use the right word and bamo. I enjoy your trademark selective outrage.

Well, I'm not a climate scientist, so who am I to argue with 97% of legitimate scientists who actually study this stuff?

Okay- it's 97% of climate scientists on one side and the Heritage Foundation paid experts on the other- you know, those same illegitimate "scientists" who they paid to say that there was no connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer.
Pretty easy pick if you ask me. |
